Senator UBL AND Senator Kilton revisted

Sen. Clinton And The Question Of Trust:

Senator Clinton is interviewing with the American people for the most important job in the nation based on her record and what she deems experience, and yet she refuses to provide documents and information related to her service in the White House or Arkansas - her resume if you will - to the American people.

If Senator Clinton doesn't want to tell us what she would do in the White House - if she doesn't want to take positions on the hard issues now - how can we trust her to lead our nation?

In spring of 2007, Senator Clinton said that she would 'of course' support funding for the troops.
But weeks later, she joined only 13 other senators to vote against funding our troops.

How can the American people trust a candidate for President who, on every substantive issue, has avoided taking strong positions, has contradicted herself, or has simply refused to answer questions.

Sen. Obama And The Question Of Experience:

Senator Obama was elected to the U.S. Senate only three years ago, and has spent almost that entire time running for President.

In fact, he has managed to pass only a single piece of legislation during his three years in the Senate.

In his short career as a state legislator in Illinois, he had a habit of voting 'present' on controversial topics, avoiding taking a stand on issues as wide ranging as abortion, the Second Amendment, and privacy for sex-abuse victims.

The Republican Candidates:

The Republicans, on the other hand, have offered plans to keep our economy growing by letting Americans keep more of the money they earn; to make health care more available, more portable, and more affordable without handing it over to government bureaucrats; and, most importantly, to keep America safe from threats both abroad and at home.

The Republican vision for our future is a positive and optimistic one, while the Democrats seem to see only a failed America, one in which we need to pay more taxes, depend on larger bureaucracies, and withdraw from the world stage.
