My Her Own Admission

Anyone with doubts that Senator Clinton has been swept up by Washington's games and lost sight of the goals of the progressive movement needs to look no further than the senator's website to find the frightening truth about the junior senator from New York, and, potentially, our future president.

Of course, there's the obligatory list of "issues" about which I'm sure Senator Clinton cares very deeply, but those of us who actually care about the tens of millions of Americans who lack access to quality healthcare would like to see more programs and fewer press releases.

Where's the Clinton bill? Where's that law that's going to put compassion back in our foreign policy, or work towards real solutions to the ballooning costs of prescription drugs? The sad reality is that outside of her co-sponsorship of half-measures, Senator Clinton is too busy being a politician to be a progressive.

One of the worst instances of Senator Clinton's politicking was her recent performance before the American-Israeli Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) where she reaffirmed her alignment with militant neocons in their push for conflict with Iran. An interesting note: Hillary managed to discuss Israel without once mentioning their horrific human rights record over the course of the occupation (references to the Israeli wall: zero).

As always, there's more than I can stomach posting. You most certainly get the idea.
