As Senator Barack Obama prepared to give a major speech on Iraq one morning a few weeks ago, a flashing red-siren alert went up on the Drudge Report Web site. It read, "Queen of the Quarter: Hillary Crushes Obama in Surprise Fund-Raising Surge," and, "$27 Million, Sources Tell Drudge Report."

Within minutes, the Drudge site had injected Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton's fund-raising success into the day's political news on the Internet and cable television. It did not halt coverage of Mr. Obama's speech or his criticism of her vote to authorize the war in 2002, but along the front lines of the campaign -- the hourly, intensely fought effort to capture the news cycle or deny ownership of it to the other side -- it was a telling assault.

The question HRC backers need to ask themselves is this:

Do you feel lucky?

The Drudge Report cannot slander HRC. He can, however, libel the lass.

Hillary is slated by the elite as the next president. Evidence of this is everywhere. Election are fake the people don't pick the president. The elite would never leave that to chance or let the American people choose that's a complete laugh ... they have too much power and investment in that power to allow real elections.

Every thing you have been told is basically a lie. We are cattle to them . THe Clinton's have sold out every bit as much as the Bushes although it is hard to compare the crimes of the Bush family to the CLintons there is no doubt that Hillary will be more of the same for this country.

The elite have no intention of changing the status quo. We are controlled by the bankers and the ruling families who have bankrupted us and engaged in war over the past century as a means to increase their power and control.

This is why you see the traitor Bush treat the constitution like dirt. The elite have stepped up their plan to destroy our foundations and reduce our influence and power so we are reduced to in debt slaves.

The only way to end this nightmare is to wake up and realize we are being lied to and manipulated by the media so the elite can remain in control. This is documented and fact. You only have to connect the dots to see the whole picture. They have a whole industry dedicated to keep us distracted and confused while giving us the illusion we have real choices about our lives.

Way to go, Hillary!

I mean, if you can't beat the vast right-wing conspiracy, you might as well join it, right?

OH Lord, now she is pandering to the rightwing whackjobs that worked to bring her husband down?

She is beginning to sound WORSE than Shrub. At least we all knew that Shrub was dishonest. Hill tried to convince us that she was different and that she was honest.

Lying bitch.

I will not vote rather than EVER say my vote helped to elect her to the presidency. All she is doing this for is her ego and nothing more. She could care less about what is right vs what is wrong.

She will pander to anyone to get elected which simply shows she doesn't care. Anything to get elected?

Whore.

So this woman who's been working for families and children since she got out of college is a "bitch" and a "whore".. of course you've never met her personally so you can't confirm she sleeps around like a 2 dollar hooker or that she's not a warm friendly intelligent person.

as for "pandering", she's doing what she needs to do.. if she ignored them then there's always those on the reich who would say she's too much of a coward to respond to them.
