Hillary Offers Little Change to Bush's Policies
FOXNews.com ^ | October 8, 2007 | Radley Balko

Posted on 10/09/2007 9:14:30 AM PDT by NCDragon

Polls show Hillary Clinton has now opened up a striking 33-point lead over Barack Obama in the race for the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination. The latest poll shows that likely Democratic primary voters favor her in every major policy area. Clinton also raised $27 million in campaign contributions in the last quarter, adding to an already-significant lead over her Democratic rivals.

For seven years, the left has been up in arms about President Bush's aggressive foreign policy, his secrecy, his partisanship, and his expansive claims on executive power. It's odd, then, that they're prepared to nominate Hillary Clinton to carry the party into the 2008 elections.

The problem with Hillary Clinton is two-fold: First, she's likely to be as bad or worse than Bush on all of those issues, and second, she's the one Democrat the Republicans still have a chance to beat.

While Hillary!08 appears to be no better a scholar that Pres Bush, her lecture delivery is fingernails on a blackboard. Aside from that, she will pick up the pace of the programs now in development such as NASA’s moon and Mars project, and probably find yet another 30 million illegal aliens to come here to help build the NAFTA superhighway.

And anyone who believes ANYTHING this single-minded hard Marxist has to say, is a fool. Did not eight years of listening to lies, watching the Clinton backstabbing and shafting of everyone around them, the treason and deception, the pandering to, and support of, our enemies, and the most embarrassing Presidency in the history of America, teach us anything???

A socialist in the White House is just that. A do-nothing administration focused on one thing — MAINTAINING POWER AND CONTROL through socialism, and gaining more of it. By default, that means the attacking of the Constitution, tilting the SCOTUS to the left (more), and trashing our military and our economy, and of course, a Leninist position on using taxation to control the power of the public. The list goes on.

Meanwhile, to cover up this REAL AGENDA, they attack Bush and the war. They have nothing else to draw attention off of their agenda for America and they will not enter the legitimate arena of debate on ANY SUBJECT. They will lose.

Hillary!08 doesn’t know enough to be a marxist. She doesn’t even know that marxism is defunct and lives on only over afternoon tea at retired professors drawing rooms.

As Rush just stated paraphrased, “Hillary is running as a centrist and will show her true commie self only after she wins the election”.

I agree, I think Hillary is probably their strongest candidate. We ought to be hoping that Obama beats her (not literally, ha ha) since I think he would be weaker in the general election. Edwards would be tough but I think he has some vulnerabilities. When he couldn’t carry his home state for Kerry I think that showed just how electable he is.

Yes, you are right, when it comes to any positive substance for America. But, she is also a criminal, a pathological liar, a power-mad Marxist, a military and America HATER, and focused ONLY on her own empowerment. A twisted, sick narcissist at best. She is VERY dangerous, in spite of who her handlers are, one of which is just as bad -— but smarter.

In addition to the attributes you noted, she is also old and getting older. She ought be be close to retirement. She is nearly as old as I am and I have retired. If she were 35 she might be a danger, but at her age she has pretty much done what she will do. What follows in her career lies mainly in those who will ride into power with her. Who are they?

Utterly moronic argument by this author.

Take the issue of Judges.

Conservatives should take a close look at all the things that piss off them off about our society.

Notice that few, if any, of them were passed via legislation. The vast majority of things they all claim to loath were IMPOSED on them by Leftist judges ruling in court cases.

Notice how many things Conservative approved of, that after being signed into law, were simply set aside by a Leftist Judge abusing their power to overrule the Legislative process by fiat? Almost inevitable the Judge who imposes their own moral dictates on the rest of us in the guise of Law is a Clinton appointed Judge.

The ONLY thing Conservatives should be thinking going into 2008 is “Do I want 3 Hillary clones on the Supreme Court screwing things up for the next 30-40 years or do you want 3 more Alito-Roberts type Judges on the Court. Do you want the Court to continue being dominated by Leftist for the next 70 years or do you want Conservatives to hold the balance on the Court for the 1st time in 70 years?
