Clinton proposes 100,000 new police officers on streets. – Los Angeles Times — Are the democrats so stupid that they cannot follow trends. This is 1970′s Nixonian blather. Law and Order is not a campaign strategy in 2008. This is especially true if you are one of the candidates encouraging illegal immigration. Cripes. She’s toast.
New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, campaigning for president in a neighborhood of Philadelphia so rough the mayor said, “Osama bin Laden wouldn’t last here,” pitched a $4-billion-a-year anti-crime package today that would put 100,000 new police officers on the streets and help stem the tide of repeat offenders back into the country’s prisons.
Claiming that her husband’s administration “reduced crime to historic lows” in the 1990s, Clinton argued that “we have to get back to doing what we know works.”
We are the nation with more people in prison than any other nation in the world. And that means both in total prison population AND prisoners per-capita. She now wants MORE people in prison.
20 jerry. When you send in the $50, make sure the postal code is really big for the automatic sort.
0. “We are the nation with more people in prison than any other”
And that doesn’t include all those who manage to elude police or have their case thrown out on a technicality. We live in a culture where bad is good, what do you expect?

She’s fishing.
Her fishing will come to end soon enough.
In a historical context, this is a magical year where the 3 remaining presidential hopefuls honestly wouldn’t cut it any other year.
Obama will end up getting elected because he’ll beat Hillary who has been a horrendous candidate and then he’ll beat the clueless John McCain, who only won the nomination due to vote-splitting and the consequences of a winner-take-all primaries in that circumstance.
Obama is easily the best of the remaining candidates, but even as an Obama supporter it is pretty clear his main asset is not being Hillary.
She is showing tuff on crime. And think of the jobs it will create.
To address your stray nonsense. Try and be a little more out of touch why don’t ya. People are, angry and bitter. That is why they hoping for a change. And not wanting anymore of people pandering to their fears while screwing them over.

#16, pat,
Many in our small town sure fit that mold. Sheet, in 2006 many people around here put up anti-Hillary Clinton signs even though it was Kerry running.
Yes, there are vestiges of the KKK still alive here, gun ownership is sacred, and strong anti-illegal sentiment. It appears that those most offended by these comments have a touch of guilt in them already and there is nothing to offend.
#3 – The Dems didn’t drop the ball – they accidentally showed their true selves. (thankfully).
So, explain this to me: “that would put 100,000 new police officers on the streets and help stem the tide of repeat offenders back into the country’s prisons.”
What is this police force going to do–shoot offenders?
No, fascism doesn’t come with increased police presence, only a universal totalitarianism. Fascism comes with fewer cops so that only corporations can afford protection, and with fewer regulators, forensic accountants, rural assistance attorneys, no ACLU–stuff like that that actually reduces the enforcement of laws.
Does appear she is simply going thru Bill’s old rolodex though.
OH–yea, gotta say this==#jbenso==you remind me of the slave owning minority in 1830 aruing the blacks were happy because they had everything they needed given to them. No, that’s not right. More like you are actually one of the slaves, who think the same thing? Dolt.
News for Hillary and the members of the Clinton campaign: Barak Obama is the nominee of the Democrats. gg.
So we’re posting stuff her newest campaign manager cooks up post-mortem and extrapolating it to Barack Obama, and what’s more all Democrats? I’d look for all the stupid things Mike Huckabee said and apply them to John McCain and the Republican party but that would be silly, untrue, and a waste of my time.
I enjoy watching Cranky Geeks on tivocast each week, heard this site (repeatedly) pimped, and must say that it is not at all what I expected.
First, I’m in favor of Clinton’s suggestion. Not so much for my neck of the woods, but many inner cities could use some more police protection.
It isn’t the police that decide how long people stay in jail. Nor should increased police protection put more people in jail. We should also put more money in keeping people OUT of jail. That includes more and better diversion programs. More programs to help those in prison get a meaningful education so they might be better able to support them self. More support to keep those released from falling back into the same bad habits. Fewer restrictions on those released so they may integrate back into society.
We will still need a lot of cops to round up all the Republican crooks after they get voted out of office.
Let’s see now: the Black members of the Christian church Obama belongs to sure sound bitter, they don’t “cling to guns” as far as I know, they are certainly xenophobic, strong on religion or they would not be in church, and illegals are taking their jobs.
Five out of Six slams against the other members of his home church.
I really wonder just what the religious Blacks read?
Catshit, I’d agree to /all/ crooked politicians being rounded up, and their ill-gotten gains taken from them.
Why do you want the Democrats to get off scot free?
#26 – Bobo, you sound like one of the effite San Francisco snobs that fell for Obama’s pandering.
The San Francisco rich folks actually think that nothing brings in the Democratic white vote like smearing the folks in the Midwestern small towns. It’s not their fault that they’re the most disgusting people on the face of the planet. “Vote For Me, you backwoods, gun-toting, Corncob-Smokin’, Banjo-Strokin’ Chicken-Chokin’, Cousin-Pokin’, one-tooth hayseed inbred Hillbilly Racist Morons.” Luckily for them, Barack’s in town. Come to the Obamessiah and be healed of all your evolutionary backwater infirmities!
What a great way to get out the votes! What a great unifier! Granted, he might get the primary, but he is 100% pure toast in the general election.
#23
Yeah, I saw his latest attempt to apologize. He keeps trying but just can’t get it out. The latest version is just an offensive non-apology.

Great final comment about the O-man:
“I’d think a really different kind of politician would man up and take his lumps.”
