    And what did Clinton say ?? (none / 0) (#1)

    Why doesn't Senator Clinton talk like this ?

    Huh?

    Too busy raising money and holding birthday bashes, Senator ?

    Silence = acquiescence

    I'm liking Dodd an awful lot, though I still fancy Edwards's positions on poverty and other domestic issues.

    Is Clinton Corrupt ??? (none / 0) (#3)

    From arch-neo-con, Jane Hamsher

    But one question few are asking -- is it a coincidence we haven't heard anything convincing from Hillary Clinton, who took in $87,130 in telecom contributions in the 2006 cycle -- more than anyone else currently in the Senate? That makes Jay Rockefeller's contributions look like abject chicken feed.

    Mike McCurry and Jamie Gorelick, who both served in the previous Clinton administration, have been raking in money as telecom lobbyists (Gorelick has been providing "strategic advice" to Verizon about obtaining immunity). And Howard Wolfson -- currently a senior advisor to the Clinton campaign -- is a partner in Glover Park, who represent Verizon. No doubt they'll all have some s'plainin to do if Hillary joins Dodd in his filibuster -- as Barack Obama and Joe Biden have already said they would do.

    If as Hillary Clinton says she accepts lobbyist money and yet it doesn't influence her vote, wouldn't now be a nice time to prove it? I think we're at one of those moments where the rubber meets the road on that particular claim. By making an unquivocal statement and bring attention to the matter, she could create a groundswell of public support that puts pressure on other Senate Democrats to respect the rule of law.

    I can't believe any liberal or progressive or leftist would sign on and support Telcom-Hillary.

    to nominate someone else.

    no don't go all sensitive, now.

    this site is considered progressive and that didn't stop it from rightfully slamming Obama (in much, much harsher terms)for his failures, even though he was viable in IA, NH, & SC.  

    Did you complain then?  And speaking solely in the abstract, either you're consistent or you're a phony.

    voted for Kyl-Lieberman isn't going to get my vote, to name just one place I feel Hillary falls short. She's not leading on getting the US out of Iraq the way Dodd is. She hasn't the domestic agenda Edwards has. She calls herself progressive, but no, it just isn't so.
