Hillary Clinton wants to be the darling of the left and the candidate of the center, and why not? More than any other Democrat, save one—her husband—she knows what it takes to win, and she fully and completely comprehends the opposition.
Liberals went ballistic this week when Clinton called for a ceasefire among Democrats at a much ballyhooed appearance before the DLC, the centrist Democratic Leadership Council that helped elect her husband president. Clinton’s “Rodney King Moment,” is all about 2008, says a former John Kerry adviser: “What she’s saying is, ‘Why can’t we all get along and support me?’”
Clinton didn’t single out liberals, and her intent might have been more ecumenical in urging all wings of the party to turn their guns on the “hard-right ideology in Washington” instead of each other. But her presence at the DLC convention in Columbus, Ohio, spoke volumes. It said to the left that this is where she is planting her flag for the presidential race. And what she’s doing now is taking care of whatever perceived weaknesses she has, as well as those of the Democratic Party. She shouldn’t trim her principles, but she has the leeway to defy the liberal stereotypes. As a progressive in a country where half or more of voters are reflexively conservative, she has to find ideas that surprise people and grab their attention if she’s going to break through as a national candidate.
This kind of intraparty warfare is familiar ground for Democrats. Hillary’s comments were almost identical to the sentiments Bill Clinton voiced some 15 years ago at a DLC event when there was a dispute with the Democratic National Committee. Having the vast left-wing conspiracy after you isn’t a bad thing in a political climate where the liberal label is problematic.....

To Eleanor Clift, Michael Moore is a "Hawkish Centrist."
That's funny, because I seem them both teetering on the leftmost parimeter of the Twilight Zone.
In other words Elinor, you admit Hillary is 110 % phony, but you back her anyway. Thanks for admitting your whoredom : )
I hate Hillary Clinton.
I ain't giving up my "Vote For Pedro" sign.
That dog don't hunt.
Can you say 'taqiyyah'?
Smoke and mirrors. The Wicked Witch of the East has these and more in her broom closet.
** And down the mountain comes the gigantic avalance of BULL S@@T. **
Get your shovels out folks, the smell is already drifting this way...Hitlery's mouth is already looking like the south end of a bull.
The only problem with this strategy is that Red Staters aren't as abjectly stupid as the leftists, feminazis, and minorities who vote Democrat. Conservatives see this clumsy attempt at deception and are disgusted by it.
and everything she stands for.
You're right, we're not, but who have we chosen - at this moment in time - to run. Hell, we have not even uttered a single word about what is happening with recent nominations - if we sit back silently and let them run the show, why bother to win. Now the other side of the coin may be our objective - just sit back and watch the self-destruct machine do it magic - God I hope that is what is going on.
Hillary Clinton a hawk! ROTFLMAO!! Now that's funny. I don't care who you are, that's funny right there.
Which explains why we should be skeptical anytime we read the far left is critical of Hillary. It's just a ruse so stupid voters think Hillary really really has shifted to the middle, or really really has become a hawk on defense.
But Eleanor has lost her mind, lost it, I tell you, to try and compare Hillary to Margaret Thatcher.
Another load of crap written by a woman whose face always looks like she's in the middle of an unproductive bowel movement.
The "face" of most DUmmies.
No, she doesn't stand for anything so I don't hate what she stands for. She's nothing but a core-less opportunist who lusts for power. At least with people like Bernie Sanders, Nancy Pelosi, and Ted Kennedy you know where they stand and that they will stick to their core beliefs. Hillary is a fake trying to copy her valueless husband.
If Hillary wants to play the game right she should enlist John McCain as her running mate...they'd be perfect together.
Not that I can imagine Hillary getting sweet with men...
yup , Sir Edmund Hillary Clinton can't speak the truth and won't tell the truth about even things like her parents naming her!!!!! Most American voters sadly don't know this about her,they may sense something is amiss,though
Elanor still has her knee pads from her service to x42.
Read 'Dereliction of Duty' and find out how she feels about anything remotely associated with the military. The book should be a "must read" for anyone even THINKING about voting for Hillary Clinton.
Hillary is a very very real threat and the thought of her as president makes me sick equally as much as the dodged bullet of sKerry almost winning. My hope for all our sakes is that you're right in thinking red-staters won't be fooled. What makes it scary is that a majority of Americans still absorb the BS coming out of the MSM. We all know that Hillary will have complete domination with the MSM to her advantage. On a positive note however, Americans are flocking towards Foxnews and "The New Media"(i.e. FR) in droves.

...and the horse she rode in on.
You need to be alerted on every Hillary thread
That's not her horse,
It's her ASS!
ROTF.......er ...uh...literally : )
Hillary is as phony as they comes but she has a very good chance of becoming our next president, very scary.
Why does she have a good opportunity?
The Hildabeaste's most fundamental essence summed up in one sentence:"Why can't we all get along and support me?"God help us!
It must be that mutt face of hers
Even Juan Williams said it isn't inevitable she'll get the nomination. I think she'll be sabotaged by the other candidates from her own party, as another "inevitable heir apparent" Gary Hart probably was in 1988 (maybe Dukakis?).
Now that is classic.....I like that.....you should use that for your tag line.....lololol
What about all the stuff she ripped off when she left the White House last time?
What about Juanita?
Hillary, you want to convince people that you are a "hawk?" Simple - just put out the word that Democratic chicks admire soldiers!
She's my man.
She will drive these Rhino's from office and make way for a new conservative take over. Things need to get worse before they will get better.
I won't vote for a party that doesn't solve the illegal problem.
Love that bumper sticker!
"Fast forward to 2005 and the most controversial first lady of modern times is a sedate senator from New York talking about finding “common ground” with abortion foes. Like Moses leading her party to the Promised Land, Hillary is treading a path to Red-State America. She may be the darling of the liberal left, but she won in New York by appealing to upstate voters who are traditionally Republican...." - Clift
Factor in the media's bias and acceptance of her "oh-i'm-a-centrist-moderate-because-i-say-i'm-a-centrist-moderate", and ouila -- Hillary the Moderate.
To Eleanor Clift anybody to the right of Josef Stalin is a centrist. On S.397, the bill to stop frivolous lawsuits against firearms manufacturers, Hitlery voted NO, along with other gun-grabbing hoplophobic moonbats like Schumer, Kennedy, Kerry, and Boxer. She's not a centrist by any stretch of the imagination.
The sad thing is that a lot of people will be bamboozled by Hitlery's phony march to the right.
Consider the fact that the media never covered the moderate BS from her. Who else would they allow to slide under the radar
