GOP email - Here's what you'll get with a Hillary Presidency
The Hillary Clinton fundraising juggernaut keeps on rolling.

Through the first six months of the year, Hillary has raised a whopping $63 million. Unfortunately, that's just the start. She is expected to raise more than $100 million before the end of 2007, providing her with early money to attack our GOP presidential candidates.

We must stop Bill and Hillary from returning to the White House. As the only GOP organization allowed by federal law to directly support our presidential nominee, the Republican National Committee is leading the drive to keep the Clintons from another extended stay at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Help Stop Hillary by making a contribution here: REMOVED LINK

Back in 1995 -- 16 months before he was re-elected -- Bill Clinton began spending $85 million on negative ads aimed at the GOP and our eventual presidential nominee, Bob Dole. Hillary wants to follow the same playbook and has dispatched her husband, the Fundraiser-in-Chief, to headline events and remind liberals of the "Two-for-One" package you get if the Clintons are in the White House. And you know what that would mean:

* The return of Hillary-Care -- the one-size-fits-all health care system Hillary tried to force through in 1993 that would put bureaucrats in Washington in charge of your health care choices instead of your doctor;
* Higher taxes for all Americans to pay for her big government plans. As Hillary said earlier this year on the campaign trail, "Fairness doesn't just happen. It requires the right government policies;" and,
* The appointment of more liberal judges and the further expansion of the federal government into your daily life.

The Repugs seem to be a bit scared of Hillary.

1. What a bunch of .... ! I guess no one in middle America knows that your
doctor doesn't make health care choices, but the CPA at the HMO decides. I guess Americans think you can just run a tab on a $12 billion a month 'war' and never have to pay for it. And I guess having a SCOTUS that would rather support business than people is a good thing.

5. Yeah, I saw that too!
The irony of that statement is just rich!

I have two words in response: PATRIOT Act.

4. The RNC has no platform for its candidates to run on other than being the "anti-Hillary" party.
I'm torn between whether or not the Repugs are genuinely afraid of her, or if the RNC wants their base to be afraid of her so they will turn out for them come election time. Running campaigns based on fear has worked wonders for them in elections past, why stop now?

I think the RNC is foaming at the mouth for an opportunity to take down Hillary (and by extension, Bill) Clinton, and it appears that they're already using fear to try to whip their base into a frenzy to do just that.

7. The RNC is PRAYING for HRC to get the nomination...it is the ONLY way they stand a chance...
..in the GE...

If it is anyone other than HRC the GOP creep unlucky enough to get the nod will have to spend 98% of their time running away from El Shrubbo's record...But if it's HRC then it'll be all attack - all the time...

8. This is just their plan because it looks like Hillary will be the Dem
nominee. If it turns out to be Edwards, their cry will switch to "Oh the trial lawyers will rule the country" and "do you really want a pretty boy as Prez". If it's Obama, I suspect there will be many more slips of the Osama....oops...I mean Obama BS.

12. Not scared...smart.They're playing the Clinton card because it works.
It's red meat to raise money,and they know tossing out Hillary's name will generate more action and funds than any of the others.

14. Morons.
The idiots who think that Hillary is going to expand the government greatly to pry into the daily lives of its citizens obviously haven't read Bush's so-called "Patriot" Act.
