Hillary Hits Obama On Abortion Rights

AP:

Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton criticizes rival Barack Obama's record on abortion rights in a mailing sent to New Hampshire voters _ her first direct attack on the Illinois senator since his victory in Iowa.

The mailer says that seven times during his time in the Illinois state Senate, Obama declined to take a position on abortion bills, while Clinton has been a defender of abortion rights.

During his eight years in the legislature, Obama cast a number of votes on abortion and received a 100 percent rating from the Illinois Planned Parenthood Council for his support of abortion rights, family planning services and health insurance coverage for female contraceptives. He voted against requiring medical care for aborted fetuses who survive, a vote that especially riled abortion opponents.

Hillary, it's payback time.

You sided with the NeoCons, and you never regretted or apologized.

Go beg the fucking NeoCons for their votes.

When Superbus drops dead, probably before Super Tuesday, where are his "pet" hamsters going to go?

Huffpo seems to be a big supporter of Obama, but fail to embrace his philosophical attitude. Obama has refused to tear down opponents personally, even Republicans, preferring instead a more humble, conciliatory and circumspect approach to gaining consensus among disparate groups. Huffpo operates more along the lines of the Edwards approach -- demonize and vanquish your opponents. Rip their hearts out.

After helping to get Obama elected, will you walk his walk? Or can we expect more of the same? i.e. WW1 style trench warfare where most people are hurt and there is no end in sight?

um ... what is Hillary allowing her staff to do? In the era of the Internet, where fact checking is instantaneous, why would the Clinton Campaign send out inaccurate information?

I mean, Obama's record on Abortion Rights was so bad that the Illinois Chapter of Planned Parenthood gave him a score of 100 for supporting Abortion Rights?

Hillary's Campaign better think before they act ... they aren't helping her.

Typical Clinton lies and distortion.

When will the rest of America wake up and the the Horror that is Hillary.

OBAMA - Talk vs. Action:

If you give a speech saying you’ll vote againt the Patriot Act and you don’t, that’s not change.

if you say you’re going to prevent members of congress to have lunch with lobbyists sitting down, but they can still have lunch standing up, that’s not change.

If you say you passed the Patients Bill of Rights, but you don’t mention it never got signed into law, that’s not change.

If you rail against the special interests…but you voted for Dick Cheney’s energy bill, that’s not change

If you gave a speech — and a very good speech — against the war in Iraq in 2002 and then by 2004 you’re saying you’re not sure how you would have voted, and by 2005 six and seven you’ve voted for $300 billion for the war you said you’re against, that’s not change.

Report on Obama:

Barack Hussein Obama, Sr., a black MUSLIM from Nyangoma-Kogel, Kenya and Ann Dunham, a white ATHEIST from Wichita, Kansas. Obama’s parents met at the University of Hawaii. When Obama was two years old, his parents divorced. Hi s father returned to Kenya. His mother then married Lolo Soetoro, a RADICAL Muslim from Indonesia.? When Obama was 6 years old, the family relocate to Indonesia. Obama attended a MUSLIM school in Jakarta. He also spent two years in a Catholic school. Obama takes great care to conceal the fact that he is a Muslim. He is quick to point out that, “He was once a Muslim, but that he also attended Catholic school.” Obama’s political handlers are attempting to make it appear that that he is not a radical. Obama’s introduction to Islam came via his father, and that this influence was temporary at best. In reality, the senior Obama returned to Kenya soon after the divorce, and never again had any direct influence over his son’s education. Lolo Soetoro, the second husband of Obama’s mother, Ann Dunham, introduced his stepson to Islam. Obama was enrolled in a Wahabi school in Jakarta. Wahabism is the RADICAL teaching that is followed by the Muslim terrorists who are now waging Jihad against the western world. Since it is politically expedient to be a CHRISTIAN when seeking major public office in the United States, Barack Hussein Obama has joined the United Church of Christ in an attempt to downplay his Muslim background. ALSO, keep in mind that when he was sworn into office he DID NOT use the Holy Bible, but instead the Koran. Barack Hussein Obama will NOT recite the Pledge of Allegiance nor will he show any reverence for our flag. While others place their hands over their hearts, Obama turns his back to the flag and slouches. Let us all remain alert concerning Obama’s expected presidential candidacy. The Muslims have said they plan on destroying the US from the inside out, what better way to start than at the highest level - the President of the

I watched the debate last night and decided to vote for Edwards. Obama is peferred as VP for Edwards, but today I read this report on Obama and Arianna's political blog must question Obama's role. Is he a republican insider and are they empty promises like Bush and Co.
