Presidential candidates beginning to notice R.I.

PROVIDENCE -- Presidential candidates are starting to take notice of Rhode Island ahead of the state's March 4 primary.

Republican front-runner John McCain is scheduled to swing through the Ocean State tomorrow, and Democratic candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton is planning a visit.

Joseph Paolino, a senior member of Clinton's campaign committee here, says Clinton and others plan to campaign here before March 4, although details are still being worked out.

The campaigns of both Clinton and her rival, Barack Obama, opened offices in Providence this week.

The Obama campaign says it has more than 250 volunteers and more than a dozen paid staffers. Paolino says the Clinton camp is sending a similar number of staffers.

Congressman Patrick Kennedy, an Obama supporter, said on a conference call with reporters today that it's a unique moment for Rhode Island to be a small state with a loud cry.

Bush Lied, Hillary Complied, and a million Iraqi's died.
She even had the audacity to say during a debate last week that she voted to go into Iraq to get the inspectors in. THEY WERE ALREADY IN.

Senator Clinton voted against the Levin amendment, which would have granted the President authority to use force, if Iraq defied UN demands regarding the inspections process. Instead, Senator Clinton voted for the resolution to give President Bush the authority to invade Iraq at the time and circumstances of his own choosing regardless of whether inspectors returned.
With lies like this, who needs another psychopath like George Bush?

AT THE TIME HILLARY CLINTON VOTED TO GIVE BUSH THE RIGHT TO USE MILITARY FORCE IN IRAQ, IF NECESSARY, 90% OF THE COUNTRY WAS BEHIND HER. WE WERE ALL LIED TO! YOU, ME, SENATOR CLINTON THE AMERICAN PUBLIC AND THE WORLD. WE ALL THOUGHT THERE WAS A GOOD POSSIBILITY THAT SADAAM HUSSEIN HAD WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION AND WOULD USE THEM IN THE REGION AND/OR AGAINST US. WHEN IT BECAME CLEAR THAT WE HAD BEEN DUPED, HILLARY STARTED CALLING FOR TROOP WITHDRAWAL. LETS JUST KEEP TRUTHFUL HERE. WHILE THE MEDIA HAS TRIED TO CALL THIS ELECTION OVER AND JUST DISREGARD RHODE ISLAND, PENN., TEXAS, OHIO, HAWAII AND A FEW MORE, RHODE ISLANDERS WILL HAVE THEIR SAY! HILLARY CLINTON HAS THE GRIT AND EXPERIENCE TO TURN OUR ECONOMY AROUND, BRING HOME OUR TROOPS, PROVIDE HEALTH CARE, COLLEGE, GREEN ENERGY ETC. WE COULD USE A SURPLUS AGAIN INSTEAD OF TRILLIONS IN DEBT TO THE CHINESE! VOTE HILLARY CLINTON FOR PRESIDENT!
