As I continue repeating....don't believe what they SAY.....but rather how they actually VOTE. With the liberals the two usually AREN'T the same.
As again others call hillary on her 'words' vs her actual votes.
Group Calls Clinton Contradictory on HIV/AIDS Funding for Blacks
(CNSNews.com) - The National Black Chamber of Commerce is blasting Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.) for voicing support to increase HIV/AIDS funding for blacks when she "single-handedly" defeated a measure last year that would have directed "equitable funding" for more blacks with HIV/AIDS. " ... You led the effort to gut provisions in the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Modernization Act of 2006, which would have fixed the increasingly unfair and outdated formulas that hurt African Americans, particularly in the rural South ... I was stunned to see you, less than a year later, performing before a black audience as if you had led the fight for these changes instead of being the lone warrior against them," NBCC President and CEO, Harry Alford wrote in a letter to Clinton.
The New York senator spoke about her stance on HIV/AIDS funding during a presidential debate at Howard University, a historically black college. "I am glad that at least now, unlike last year, you recognize that women of color in the South are 26 times more likely to be HIV- positive than white females. But thanks to your determined fight against reforms last year, a large portion of Ryan White CARE Act funding is still set aside for large metropolitan areas, and most states in the South will never qualify for it," Alford added.

Again....what they SAY against how they vote. Pay attention....they speak out of both sides of their mouths. Much like kerry did during his WHOLE 2 year campaign. Trying to hook all voters, no matter their positions, into voting for them...by LYING to them.

From NBC’s Domenico Montanaro
As we mentioned yesterday, during the NAACP forum Edwards called for ex-convicts’ voting rights to be re-instated. But a rival campaign tipped us off that Edwards voted against a 2002 amendment that would have done just that.
It was introduced by Sen. Harry Reid and co-sponsored by Sens. Arlen Specter (R-PA) and Russ Feingold (D-WI). The measure failed 63-31.
It would have been tacked on to a bill -- introduced by Dodd -- to help fund states to meet federal election technology requirements. The bill passed 99-1.
Of the Democratic presidential candidates who were in the Senate at the time, Clinton voted for Reid amendment; Edwards, Dodd and Biden all voted against.
“The vote was to protect the underlying bill to expand voting rights,” the Edwards campaign said, and quickly pointed out, “Dodd sponsored the bill and voted with Edwards.”
