>>>Should there be any more doubt about how the Clintons operate?<<<


"JACK CAFFERTY, CNN ANCHOR: You're a tough guy to keep up with, Wolf. The two apparent front-runners now are Hillary Clinton and John McCain. And if nothing changes, this is the choice we'll have for president of the United States.

Hillary's part of the monopoly on the White House. Between the Clintons and the Bushes, it goes back 28 years. Her husband is a two- term president. She's a former first lady, current member of the Senate. She's a poster child for the Washington establishment.

McCain has been a part of Washington for 26 years. A two-term congressman, he's been a senator since 1986. He's been running for president for the last eight years, in case you hadn't noticed. Another Washington insider.

Ask anyone what they think about our government these days, and most people will be only too happy to tell you. They are not happy. I get thousands of letters every week from people who are angry about health care and immigration and the war and the economy. You name it. The consensus is our government is broken and this country is in trouble.

The problems they complain about exist solely because of the actions of the Democrats and Republicans in Washington, D.C. The political establishment, if you will, that's in bed with the lobbyists and the corporations and the special interests and, quite frankly, couldn't care less about you, except now, at election time, when they need you.

They travel the country, they spew the same tired rhetoric we have heard for years. And like lemmings we appear now to be on the brink of continuing to send one of them to the White House.

Somebody said once the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. Well, here's the question: When it comes right down to it, why won't we really vote to change things?"
