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.
