Hillary Clinton - More Of The Same

Isn't this coming from the same Democratic Party that keeps holding Republican's feet to the fire over "special interest groups"? If so, what's up with this:

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton refused Saturday to forsake campaign donations from lobbyists, turning aside challenges from her two main rivals with a rare defense of the special interest industry.

“A lot of those lobbyists, whether you like it or not, represent real Americans, they actually do,” Clinton said, drawing boos and hisses from liberal bloggers at the second Yearly Kos convention.


I'm telling you all that Hillary is a ruthless politician who won't get you anything you're hoping for by voting Democrat. Just take a look at the newly empowered Democratic Congress. How much have they accomplished?

Take a gander at this quote:

Clinton was asked what three lessons she learned from her failed health care reform effort during the presidency of her husband, Bill Clinton. “It is not enough to have a plan. You’ve got to have a political strategy,” the New York senator said.

Isn't political strategy and a plan the same thing?? She's already doing politician double speak.

So would she continue to accept those donations?

“Yes, I will,” she said, arguing that plenty of lobbyists represent good causes. “They represent nurses, they represent social workers, they represent, yes, they represent corporations that employ a lot of people.”

Which of course, her political opponents pounced on.

Obama rejected that argument, saying Clinton should know better because special interest money helped sink her health care package in 1993. The crowd cheered wildly.

It certainly appears that Hillary can be vulnerable when she's honest, although it's difficult to tell when she is and isn't.
