Clinton Portrays Herself as a Pro-Gun Churchgoer
By Julie Bosman

VALPARAISO, Ind. - Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton managed to co-opt Mr. Obama’s message of hope and optimism, beginning a speech in Valparaiso, Ind., by talking about how positive and “fundamentally optimistic” Americans are.
“We don’t get bogged down and looking back – we’re always looking forward,” she said, as heavy applause nearly drowned out her words. “Whatever obstacle we see, we get over it. Whatever challenge we have, we meet it. We’re the problem-solvers, we’re the innovators, we’re the people who make the better future.”
For the third time since Mr. Obama’s remarks were made public Friday night, Mrs. Clinton criticized him at length, saying his comments seemed “kind of elitist and out of touch.”
“I disagree with Senator Obama’s assertion that people in our country cling to guns and have certain attitudes about immigration or trade simply out of frustration,” she said.
She described herself as a pro-gun churchgoer, recalling that her father taught her how to shoot a gun when she was a young girl and said that her faith “is the faith of my parents and my grandparents.”

Hillary Clinton Appeals For Gun Control Lobbying

Stepping up the Clinton Administration's campaign against gun violence, Hillary Rodham Clinton used an emotional White House ceremony today to call on Americans to press Congress to ''buck the gun lobby'' and pass several gun control measures.

The Senate is to begin debate next week on a number of gun control measures, some of which mirror proposals offered recently by President Clinton. ''The senators need to hear from all of us,'' Mrs. Clinton said. She urged voters ''to give them the encouragement to do what they know is right and to remind them that there are many, many millions of American voters and citizens who will stand behind political leaders who are brave enough to buck the gun lobby, wherever that may take us, so that they will vote for the measures that we know will save lives.''

Hillary-ous is a true chameleon I guess. I wonder what her position will be tommorrow?

Great post. This is exactly why Senator Clinton's campaign turned me off. Governor Richardson also pointed out the dishonesty in campaign strategy as one of the reasons that turned him off. The lies or "misstatements" as she has called them have been quite obvious to me.

WOW, that's pretty pathetic.

(You need a link for this)

Seems she shifts the goalposts to suit where the ball is going. LOL

I don't think there's a contradiction between supporting gun control and hunting. But what she said was definately pandering. It was quite Romney- esque.

Could you please link us to the whole speech, and not just bits and pieces of it?

Do not fool yourselves, Hillary is no friend to the firearms community.

Hillary Clinton will say anything at this point. She can't win.

I dismiss her blathering just like I do her goofy husband.
