Would-be opponent calls Clinton (and bush critics) "the enemy within"

[Rose Siding]

WASHINGTON -- A would-be challenger to Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's re-election in 2006 charged Friday she is part of a "soft underbelly" of liberal politicians trying to divide the nation over the war on terror.

The broadside from Republican John Spencer, a former Yonkers mayor, was the latest verbal fusillade in a war of words between Republicans and Democrats over the aftermath of Sept. 11.
....
Spencer, a Vietnam veteran, charged Clinton was seeking to advance her own ambitions by splitting the country.

"She's running for president, and I think deep in her heart she would love a divided nation," Spencer said. "The enemy within is the politicians in Washington who use war for their own political gain to divide our nation and attack our president."

He charged Clinton was part of a "soft underbelly" of liberals that leave the United States more vulnerable to terrorists.

1. I would'nt vote for Hillary on a bet....

Although I am Canadian, she is out for Hillary not for the good of the American people, or her own party for that matter.

5. He's a "uniter not a divider"

3. That's Michael Savage speak

[Mythsaje]

4. More vulnerable

than not bothering to provide the funds necessary to secure our ports and harbors? More vulnerable than deliberately stirring up trouble in the same goddam region of the world the terrorists are coming from?

Us evil liberals want to hunt these assholes down, put them on trial for the world to see, and throw them in a deep hole. We don't want to kill thousands of innocent people just to prove a point.

THAT'S not weak, that's SMART.
