CANDIDATE CLINTON

CANDIDATE CLINTON PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN DOOMED TO FAIL. SHE PLAYS POLITICS WITH LIVES OF OUR TROOPS. NOT WORTHY OF BEING COMMANDER AND CHIEF.

Analyze this. Hillary says she won't vote to cut funding for U S troops in President Bush's Iraq surge operation, but she will vote to cut aid to the Iraqi government.

Now, that puts our troops at risk, as they partner with Iraqi troops in efforts to secure and stabilize Baghdad neighborhoods and Anbar Province.

If Hillary doesn't support Iraq's government and military, she does not support our troops.

Yesterday, Hillary and upstate city mayors put their hands out for more federal aid while Bush bashing for personal and partisan reasons. Beggars can't be chewsers- biting the hand that feeds them is not a sound tactic . Hillary and the upstate mayors would best serve the interests of New York residents by supporting the President's efforts to succeed in Iraq and Afghanistan, and by supporting our troops who serve there, so that we may live in freedom and safety.

The primary responsibility of Senator Clinton and the upstate city mayors is to do all that they can  to avert future terror attacks in New York State. Do not play politics with the lives of our troops or the lives of our citizens.

Hillary and the upstate mayors (all Democrats) can begin by opposing Governor Spitzer's pledge to give NYS driver's licenses to illegal immigrants.
