Hillary does not read intelligence reports…

Hillary who is easily the most corrupt politician in the 08 group just makes me wonder why people would see her as a viable presidential candidate, particularly when the people in her own party don’t trust her not to mention the fact that she is vilified by the far left.
She is the closest thing to Fidel Castro that has ever been on a presidential ballot, at least someone that has the potential of winning the presidency. Scary thought!

Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-NY) is currently the frontrunner for the Democratic nomination for president of the United States. With that in mind, it’s vitally important to recall certain things she has stated in the recent past:
San Francisco, California, June 28, 2004:
“We’re going to take things away from you on behalf of the common good.”
Discussing her plan for nationalized health care in 1993:
“We just can’t trust the American people to make those types of choices … Government has to make those choices for people.”
And to add to that list, we have this story. A Heated Exchange for Hillary
ABCNews’ Eloise Harper reports: After fielding many questions ranging from mental health care to veteran affairs at a Town Hall Meeting in Hampton, NH, Senator Hillary Clinton received a heated question about Iraq. A woman who had traveled from New York asked Sen. Clinton if she had read the report given to her in 2002 on intelligence and the Iraq war.
Clinton said she had been briefed on the report, and the woman screamed back, “Did you read it?!” Notably uncomfortable, the Senator repeated that she had been briefed. This exchange went back and forth about three times.
The woman sat down and Clinton explained, “If I had known then what I know now, I never would have voted to give this President the authority.” Clinton also said she believed she was giving the President the authority to send U.N. inspectors to Iraq.
When Clinton finished the answer, the woman continued to scream but was drowned out by applause for the Senator. The woman was escorted out of the building.
Hillary’s vote in 2002 was for the sending of UN inspectors into Iraq to ensure Saddam’s compliance with the terms of his 1991 surrender. Apparently not only did she not read the intelligence reports she was provided with, she also voted for an act she did not even read — the Authorization For Use Of Military Force In Iraq resolution, whose very first words are “To authorize the use of United States Armed Forces against Iraq.”
So we should set aside our own beliefs, thoughts, and doubts and trust in Big Government to run the important stuff — as emblemized by Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-NY), who doesn’t do her homework or even read the de facto declaration of war she votes for.
Someone tell me again how she’s going to run on the “smart and competent” platform. I need a good laugh.
Hillary was not alone: Harry Reid Did not Read Prewar Intel Report, Democrats I guess can’t read!
