(AXcess News) New York - When Democrat Sen. Hillary Clinton was booed by her party's base at the "Take Back America" conference, it was the result of her saying the US must finish the job in Iraq and not announce a withdrawal date.
However, Clinton voted "Yes" to a resolution demanding that troops begin withdrawal of US troops this year and that the Commander-in-Chief should submit a plan for total withdrawal -or a "redeployment," as several Democrats call leaving Iraq.
Clinton also opposed any criminal investigation of the New York Times and defended their right to print the story regarding the top secret money transfer operation targeting Al-Qaeda.
Clinton, speaking to a Buffalo TV station on Wednesday, even questioned the legality of the administration's practices and called for a congressional review of what she called bank trawling. It's been widely accepted that the international banking surveillance operation is legal and, in fact,the New York Times in an earlier editorial said such a program was necessary to fight terrorism.
In addition,when voting on a constitutional amendment that would protect the American flag from desecration such as burning, among possible presidential contenders in 2008, six voted yes: Democrat Evan Bayh of Indiana and Republicans George Allen of Virginia, Sam Brownback of Kansas, Frist, Chuck Hagel of Nebraska, and John McCain of Arizona.
Five, all Democrats, voted no: Joseph Biden of Delaware, Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York, Christopher Dodd of Connecticut, Russell Feingold of Wisconsin and John Kerry of Massachusetts.
One political analyst said he wasn't surprised that Sen. Clinton is flip-flopping on issues.
"Hillary [Clinton] talks right, but votes left. She's trying to fool voters into believing she's a moderate while her voting record shows she's with Kerry, Kennedy, Feingold and others on the left," said Mike Baker, a political strategist.

Why not be a switch-hitter? She knows perfectly well the MSM won't hold her to account. And they know perfectly well all her 'conservative' positions are phony. In the meantime she might sway a few undecideds into voting her way. It's a win-win for her.
No surprise there. She's a leftist masquerading for the electorate. Demonrats have no soul. Hopefully they can all be forced to live amongst themselves in the next life as payment for what they are doing on this earth.
Unlike John Kerry, Hillary is allowed to change her mind on issues... she is, after all... a girl!
:)
Talking out of both sides of her fat face.
Hillary swings both ways?
Don't know who made this one!
It's called "triangulation", and the aim is to be on the side of the 50%+ on every possible issue.
You better watch that little hand doesn't grab her 'tail', lol, and I'm not being naughty here!!
Showing up good devolve!
Now I see what you mean!
When I made her "stooped over" the back of her jacket stuck out more -
Good magick on the .gif.....
Lol, there's a tiny 'tail' that swings out. I need to take care of that, it's funny!
Thankyou!
I don't know why this is the first thing that popped into my mind.
I know...I'm bad. ;o)
LOL!
LOL, maybe because I meant to insinuate it - in more ways than one!!
Oh, noooo...NOT you!
LOL!
LOLOL!
I think that is the "filthiest" post I've ever seen! ;o)
Very nice - I was off feeding Piper. Slideshow explains it all!
Too funny!!
Born again? Democratic Party is restating its liberal program in religion-friendly terms
WORLD | 3/11/06 | Lynn Vincent

In Georgia, state Sen. Kasim Reed in January introduced a bill authorizing school districts to teach courses derived from The Bible and Its Influence, a textbook released last year by the Bible Literacy Project. In Tennessee, Reps. Rick Nelson and Bob Damron are sponsoring legislation that would allow postings of religious documents such as the Ten Commandments.
In Virginia, Timothy Kaine rode religious campaign themes and Christian radio ads to victory in the governor's race last fall. All that would be business as usual for the GOP. But these Bible-thumping, faith-stumping pols are all Democrats—and part of their party's emerging effort to reconnect with religious voters.
It's not just a Southern phenomenon. Democrats in the North and West also are becoming more vocal on traditionally Republican issues—from public prayer to traditional marriage. U.S. Senate Democrats in January invited conservative evangelical Rick Warren, author of The Purpose Driven Life, to speak.
Former Vermont governor and current Democratic National Committee chairman Howard Dean, who once said his favorite New Testament book is Job and last June slammed the GOP as "pretty much a white, Christian party," now says the Bible should be taught as literature in public schools.
For Republicans who view Democrats as godless, the party's sudden, public embrace of faith is crassly political. Republican state Sen. Eric Johnson of Georgia excoriated Kasim Reed's Bible course proposal as "election-year pandering using voters' deepest beliefs as a tool."
But Darrell Thompson, senior advisor to Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, told WORLD that Democrats have always embraced religious faith, just not so publicly, and "we're right to talk about it now."
According to a Pew Research Center analysis, George Bush in 2000 walloped Democrat Al Gore among religiously observant voters—those who attended church at least weekly—63 percent to 36 percent. Four years later in the same demographic, he crushed John Kerry by gaining voter-share among white evangelicals (+10 percentage points over 2000), white mainline Protestants (+2), black Protestants (+6), and Jewish voters (+6).
Even though Mr. Kerry is Roman Catholic, Mr. Bush also improved his standing among non-Hispanic white Catholics (+4) and Hispanic Catholics (+6). The president's across-the-board gains among even traditionally Democratic religious voters—mainline Protestants, black Protestants, and Catholics—apparently was a reaction to Democratic extremism on issues of morality.
"Democrats have now recognized that the language of religious 'values' resonates with people," said Hillsdale College professor David Bobb, who studies the intersection of politics and religion. "John Kerry made halting efforts to discuss values, but never came up with a way of connecting religion with public policy."
Most Americans, on some level, expect their presidents to do that. "American presidents from George Washington forward have evoked religion fairly routinely, quoting from the Bible, calling for prayer, mentioning God," said Amy Black, an associate professor of politics and international relations at Wheaton College. "It's a common expectation in American politics, particularly at the presidential level. We expect our presidents to be Christians."

Hillary has always been a switch hitter.
Flip-flopping, amongst other things, is what lost John Kerry the election in 2004. She will do even worse.
In this media environment with everything on tape and on the internet almost as fast as it comes out of her mouth,she can not fool all of the people all of the time.
The Arkansas Grifters have gotten away with this for a very long time, but no matter how hard she blogs, Hillary can not escape.
Oh, she "swings" ONLY in one direction.
It worked for Bill.
She will sniff her nose and gird her loins and plaster a practiced smile upon her botoxed face while walking amongst the politically unwashed in her black pantsuit so as not to show the grime of her fawning minions .
She has learned her political lessons well from Marx, Lenin, and Stalin, perhaps is a closet admirer of Mao, Pol Pot and Castro.
And, while looking into a mirror upon her vanity table saying 'mirror mirror on the wall who is the cleverest deceiver of us all' she laughs deliriously as she dreams of ultimate power just within her grasp. "Whatever it takes, baby".
This is my favorite graphic from you!
great! thanks!
Thanks for the ping!
Bill got away with it in large part because his ascendancy happened before the internet was so powerful, as noted in this thread.
Folks just didn't have information access in 1992 or 1996 like they do today.
Hillary will crash and burn.
What is SHE worried about???
My hairdresser stated that she does vote for the "Big Election" [presidential race - not even the party race]. When I asked her how she got her candidate information she actually stated, "Oh I watch Leno and Conan, and sometimes David Letterman".
She is a great hairdresser.
