I know there have been many recent article on this topic but this writer makes some different points I've not heard in the others.

The issue though, is that Democrats are all talk and no action.

They will continue to be the party of partial birth abortion, but now they wouldn't call anyone who opposes unrestricted, unlimited abortion misogynists and "The American Taliban"...well, to their faces at least.

Hilary Clinton is running for president in 2008. Nuff said.

[nmh]

She desperately trying to reinvent herself to run in 2008. She'll start referencing "God" more and trying to be more "moderate". Keep watching her but don't be fooled.

When the extinction of tiny lives ensured a continuation of power, the Democrats enthusiastically supported those extinctions. They applauded the termination of the lives of all those millions of helpless tiny people!! But, now that power may require the protection of those lives, the Democrats - surprise - may begin supporting protecting the lives of helpless innocent tiny people. Gee, whoda thunk it????

Believe Hillary and you'll believe ANYTHING!

[riri]

This is political suicide.

It would be more accurate to say that some Dems have adjusted their rhetoric on abortion, not their position.

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton has proposed moderating the Democrats' position on abortion. In a speech last week, the senator called for abortion-rights advocates and foes to seek common ground in an effort to reduce abortion by curbing unwanted pregnancies.

OTHER HILLARY REVISIONISMS: "I hate men who cheat on their wives" "Vast right wing conspiracy? What Vast right wing conspiracy" "Baking cookies is my fave after-work activity"

Looks like Hillary's mighty busy with her Campaign 2008 Extreme Makeover. She's got four years to make people believe she's Mother Teresa. The question is ---in light of the resounding 2004 Values Voters Victories---how "conservative" will Hillary get?

Let's see. After she opens a charge at Wal-Mart, enrolls in Divinity School, and gets a lifetime membership in the John Birch Society, she'll need to get a shopper's card at Sam's Club, and schedule daily morning prayer services in her Senate office.

And just to cover all bases, Bill will take an anti-adultery pledge in the vestibule of the National Cathedral, when Hillary takes her minister's vows.

Oh, and Hillary will campaign wearing the official DNC apron, and give cookie-baking demonstrations while on the stump, and pose with an aresenal of firearms while engaged in target practice.

Translation....Abortions will continue but vote for me anyway. Oh and I feel your pain.

[Cicero]

Shifts positions? I don't think so. "Pretends to shift positions" would be more like it.

[sport]

No, they are not shifting their position.

They are only saying what they think people want to hear.

Don't be fooled.

[longtermmemmory]

symbolism over substance.

The democrat ("gay")party is looking for the magic "red state" words to attract votes. They are making a political calculation that once in power they can manipulate the rules to remain in power.

If the democrat party had seriously believed they would be this far out of power, they would have outlawed voting in 1993.

Everyone is missing the point of the column. It's a warning to pro-lifers, not an apology for Hillary Clinton.
