The New Mexico Democratic Party caucus may be tainted by three ballot boxes that spent the night in the home of the Rio Arriba County party chair or the homes of other local election officials instead of being reported to the state party.


Those ballots still haven%u2019t been counted, but they have been retrieved by the state party.


Several sources told me the ballot boxes spent the night at the home of Rio Arriba County Democratic Party Chair Theresa Martinez, whose state-lawmaker husband, Sen. Richard Martinez, endorsed Hillary Clinton. But Richard Martinez told Santa Fe New Mexican reporter Kate Nash that the boxes actually spent the night in the homes of three polling-place managers. He gave Nash no explanation for why the results from those ballots weren%u2019t reported to the state party last night and why they were instead kept overnight in officials%u2019 homes.

You don''''t like Peace, security, a balanced budget and a surplus? Give me that and I''''d be VERY happy to look at them.

I meant to say dont make me look at Chelsea for four more years, but her mom is bad enough. In any case, it was Bill Clinton who eighteen years ago led America to do those things, not the Narnia ice-queen Hillary. Unfortunately we are now at war and I don''t think Hillary is the one who can put Humpty back together again. If you think she can, you are even more of a dreamer then me, my friend. Hillary won''t do squat but rip this country apart. BTW - I am watching TV right now and her shrill arrogant bossy voice is crackling through my speakers and I am starting to feel like I am going to vomit - i GTG

The silence of the Clinton administration in responding to these offers was deafening.

As an American Muslim and a political supporter of Clinton, I feel now, as I argued with Clinton and Berger then, that their counter-terrorism policies fueled the rise of Bin Laden from an ordinary man to a Hydra-like monster.

Bill Clinton is busy diving down to the popularity levels of another ex-president, Jimmy Carter.

Compared to 8 more years of seeing the horndog''''s face with it''''s alcohol-reddened nose on TV, if Obama doesn''''t win the nomination, McCain looks better and better. At least his spouse is easy on the eyes.

Well speak for yourself Sparky! Personally I would LOVE to have the man back in the White House right now. The 8 years he was there were 8 of the best I''ve known in a LONG LONG time. Can''t you remember how everyone felt when Gore and Lies-A-Lot were debating... a Surplus!! What are we going to do with it?! A BALANCED Budget!! We''re not sucking the Tax Payer dry paying interest on a GROWING debt anymore. Wow! Now look at us? If Bill would come back, could come back, this wouldn''t even be a close race Sparky!! Sieg Heil Bush!

MOST NEW POLLS ALSO HAVE HILARY OUT TO A DOUBLE DIGIT NATIONAL LEAD, BUT NO WE DON''T WANT TO TALK ABOUT THAT. TALKING ABOUT THE ACTUAL ELECTION IS NOT WHAT PEOPLE DO @ CBS, WHAT HAPPENED YOU HIRED THE "B" TEAM FROM FOX. COME ON, NO ONE CAN DENY BILLS PRESENCE, BUT EVEN HE HAS ADMITED THAT HE''LL BE TAKING MORE OF A BACK SEAT. WE''RE ABOUT TO ENTER THE HOME STRECTH IN THE TOUGHEST PRIMARY IN YEARS AND YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT PRES. CLINTON''S POPULARITY?

"%u201CIf Hillary Clinton becomes President, do you think Bill Clinton will have too much influence, too little influence, or about the right amount of influence on the decisions Hillary Clinton makes as president?%u201D Just 22 percent of Democratic primary voters said he would have too much influence"

Translation into reality from the Clinton Broadcasting System Hillary-for-President spin:

The majority of Americans think if Hillary were elected President, Bill Clinton would have too much influence . . . including Republicans in the interpretation is key because having a majority of Americans believe that electing Hillary would thwart the 22nd Amendment means a majority of us are hesitant to elect Billary into office . . .

(continued)

When I returned to Washington, I told Berger and his specialist for East Africa, Susan Rice, about the data available. They said they''d get back to me. They never did. Neither did they respond when Bashir made the offer directly.

And that was not the end of it. In July 2000--three months before the deadly attack on the destroyer Cole in Yemen--I brought the White House another plausible offer to deal with Bin Laden, by then known to be involved in the embassy bombings. A senior counter-terrorism official from one of the United States'' closest Arab allies--an ally whose name I am not free to divulge--approached me with the proposal after telling me he was fed up with the antics and arrogance of U.S. counter-terrorism officials.

The offer, which would have brought Bin Laden to the Arab country as the first step of an extradition process that would eventually deliver him to the U.S., required only that Clinton make a state visit there to personally request Bin Laden''s extradition. But senior Clinton officials sabotaged the offer, letting it get caught up in internal politics within the ruling family--Clintonian diplomacy at its best.

Clinton''s failure to grasp the opportunity to unravel increasingly organized extremists, coupled with Berger''s assessments of their potential to directly threaten the U.S., represents one of the most serious foreign policy failures in American history.

Clinton Let Bin Laden Slip Away and Metastasize
Sudan offered up the terrorist and data on his network. The then-president and his advisors didn''t respond.

By MANSOOR IJAZ
President Clinton and his national security team ignored several opportunities to capture Osama bin Laden and his terrorist associates, including one as late as last year.

I know because I negotiated more than one of the opportunities.

From 1996 to 1998, I opened unofficial channels between Sudan and the Clinton administration. I met with officials in both countries, including Clinton, U.S. National Security Advisor Samuel R. "Sandy" Berger and Sudan''s president and intelligence chief. President Omar Hassan Ahmed Bashir, who wanted terrorism sanctions against Sudan lifted, offered the arrest and extradition of Bin Laden and detailed intelligence data about the global networks constructed by Egypt''s Islamic Jihad, Iran''s Hezbollah and the Palestinian Hamas.

Among those in the networks were the two hijackers who piloted commercial airliners into the World Trade Center.

The silence of the Clinton administration in responding to these offers was deafening.

As an American Muslim and a political supporter of Clinton, I feel now, as I argued with Clinton and Berger then, that their counter-terrorism policies fueled the rise of Bin Laden from an ordinary man to a Hydra-like monster.

Oh oh - looks like somebody let Bill back out of the trailer park today . . . he''s gone back to lashing out at Obama with ''outrage'' over ''statements'' that Barack never made.

Anybody want to place some bets on how long before Bubba goes ballistic on another beat reporter asking a routine question?

Please recall the famous statement of a vast right wing conspiracy which was totally false or her failure in getting health care reform. Yeah she''ll make a good president:) She has no integrity or root values and will do anything to get and maintain power.

The worlds most influential country, America should review the role/conduct of their ex presidents. After all only one person can be a president at a time and if they become president even if for 2hrs they have a role/obligation to the sovereign state.

Anyone who cares more than just the "I" and "Me" would be setting good example to others, especially the young. What becomes of America or the world if every American is slick willie??? What becomes of America or the world if every American flocks with this liar slick willie and pretends he/she doesn''t see???

This WORST-EXAMPLE-TO-ALL-YOUTH slick willie was, is, and will always be a SELFISH-WORLD-PAIN!!

%u201CWhat is governing to him who cannot rule himself? Who cannot rule himself, how should he rule others?%u201D
