Republicans sure are afraid of Hilary Clinton.
Look at the email the RNC sent out this week:

Through the first six months of the year, Hillary has raised a whopping $63 million. Unfortunately, that's just the start. She is expected to raise more than $100 million before the end of 2007, providing her with early money to attack our GOP presidential candidates.

We must stop Bill and Hillary from returning to the White House. As the only GOP organization allowed by federal law to directly support our presidential nominee, the Republican National Committee is leading the drive to keep the Clintons from another extended stay at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Help Stop Hillary by making a contribution here: www.GOP.com/StopHillary

Back in 1995 -- 16 months before he was re-elected -- Bill Clinton began spending $85 million on negative ads aimed at the GOP and our eventual presidential nominee, Bob Dole. Hillary wants to follow the same playbook and has dispatched her husband, the Fundraiser-in-Chief, to headline events and remind liberals of the "Two-for-One" package you get if the Clintons are in the White House. And you know what that would mean:

The return of Hillary-Care -- the one-size-fits-all health care system Hillary tried to force through in 1993 that would put bureaucrats in Washington in charge of your health care choices instead of your doctor;

Higher taxes for all Americans to pay for her big government plans. As Hillary said earlier this year on the campaign trail, "Fairness doesn't just happen. It requires the right government policies;" and,

The appointment of more liberal judges and the further expansion of the federal government into your daily life.

Please help the RNC counter Hillary's growing war chest by making a secure online contribution of $1,000, $500, $100, $50 or $25 today to support our eventual Republican presidential nominee. Click here to help: www.GOP.com/StopHillary

The $63 million Hillary now has for her presidential campaign is just the tip of the iceberg. Your immediate support is crucial to countering the Clinton money machine. Thank you.

Best Wishes,


Robert M. "Mike" Duncan
Chairman, Republican National Committee

8. You've got that right. They are doing
everything in their power, with the help of the corporate media, to get her nominated. In the past few days alone she's been the recipient of a whole lot of positive press - called "polished" and "Presidential" and even had her debate "body language" praised on CNN.

Imagine how swiftly and ferociously that will all change if she gets the nod. It will be all anti-Hillary all the time. We'll hear the word "opportunist" on an endless loop, be reminded that Bill is a "serial adulterer," become re-acquainted with Whitewater, Vince Foster, travelgate. Every stone they turned over a decade ago will be dug up and re-examined. If they have anything new on Bill, real or imagined, we'll hear about that, too. Hillary is one tough woman, but they've been gunning for her for a long time and it could get very ugly.

7. Too funny! I'd spend a minute or two make fun of Mr Duncan
But I think my time would be better spent at http://icanhascheezburger.com/ I love cats and laughs are too hard to come by these days.

9. Just the opposite.
It shows they know Hillary is still the red meat that drives their base to feeding time.They know no other Dem can illicit the reaction they need both money wise and election wise.
