Quote of the Day

Queen Bee Hillary has a real problem with powerful women who might steal her thunder. If Sarah is around, its safe to bet that Hillary will be treated like chopped liver. Forget the Tupperware, it's a 'Petty Pity Party' at Hillary's house tonight.

Putting Politics First

"Iranian “president” Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is once again coming to America to address the United Nations. The man should be arrested and put on trial for the Iranian regime’s support of terrorism. Let me remind you once again about who he is and what he promotes.

Ahmadinejad has repeatedly denied the Holocaust. He has called for Israel to be “wiped off the map.” He has called Israel, our most reliable ally in the Middle East, a “stinking corpse.” His regime is the world’s leading sponsor of Islamic terrorism, backing Hezbollah in its war against Israel and radical Shiite groups that are murdering civilians and American soldiers in Iraq. He is also aggressively pursuing nuclear technology in defiance of U.N. inspections. If Americans should be united on anything, it ought to be the need to expose Ahmadinejad as the evil thug he really is.

But, sadly, politics is once again trumping the national interest, and New York Senator Hillary Clinton has really let America down. Hillary was scheduled to speak at an event protesting Ahmadinejad’s visit next week. But yesterday Sen. Clinton’s staff shocked the organizers of the event when they cancelled and backed out after it was reported that Alaska Governor Sarah Palin had also been invited. How incredibly petty!

Once again, we are seeing that grand tradition of American consensus on foreign policy, that partisanship ends at the waters edge, being subverted by bitter partisanship. It shouldn’t be too much to ask, for the sake of all those who love Israel and freedom, for politicians on both sides of the aisle to put their differences aside for a day, just as we did after 9/11, to unite against the same evil ideology that attacked us on that dark day and which dares to step foot on our soil now. But for Hillary and many on the radical Left, hatred of Sarah Palin outweighs any other consideration.

My friends, we can’t afford to have such petty partisans in the White House. Let’s put country first by putting John McCain and Sarah Palin in the White House!"
