Clinton campaigns against troop surge By Ed Tibbetts | Monday, January 29, 2007
U.S. Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y., argued Sunday for a pragmatic approach to stop the troop escalation in Iraq, saying it's easy to appeal to people with "soundbites" and calls to cut off funding. Clinton wrapped up a two-day swing through Iowa by spending much of the day in Davenport.
[WS:] Why are you so preoccupied with Hillary, Doug? Other politicos speak on the both sides of their mouth as well cf. McCain http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ioy90nF2anI yet do not earn such an honorable mention (or any mention, for that matter) on this list. If I did not know any better, I would compare this to a certain form of populist discourse that thinly veils ethnic or sexist prejudice under the mask of anti-capitalism, antiglobalisation, defense of (American) jobs, etc.
