House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, when asked about then Senator Clinton\u2019s vote authorizing President George Bush\u2019s disastrous and murderous invasion of Iraq, said this: \u201cElections are about the future. They\u2019re not about what happened 13 years ago. They\u2019re about the future, and that\u2019s really what people want to hear.\u201d Yes, this is the same Mrs. Pelosi who took the possibility of the impeachment of Mr. Bush \u2018off the table\u2019, because the evidence wasn\u2019t there, she said, and she apparently had no interest in looking for it. So, as with Mr. Bush, with Mrs. Clinton we need not look at what she\u2019s actually done, only at what she says she will do in the future. One is reminded of the abusive husband who, during the remorse stage, swears that he\u2019ll never again strike his wife. No need to look at a long pattern of abuse; simply take his word that there will be no more.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, we must, as voters and potential victims of a Hillary Clinton presidency, look back, forward and to the present. And it is that alarming present, put in context by the not-too-distant past, that should give everyone pause.<\/p>\n<p>Mrs. Clinton either has, or is expected to raise, upwards of $2 billion dollars to purchase a four-year lease to the White House. She might wish the public to believe that hard-working United States citizens, toiling at the shop or office every day, are scraping together $5.00 and $10.00 donations, all of which, in total, achieves that $2 billion.
