The other day I had the idea to write a piece called "What Hillary Could Do." Full of the ardor of good citizenship, my idea was to respond sincerely to that lady's not-very-subtle signals ("I've always been a prayin' woman," etc.) that she wants the votes of the religious, family-values voters who are now the largest force in the Republican coalition.
My idea was not to throw down challenges she could never meet, simply as a political tactic to "expose" her insincerity. I really wanted to craft a list of things Hillary could do to materially advance religious values and family interests without betraying her own core beliefs or her position as the leader of the left wing of the Democratic party.
I even decided to call on some friends to help craft the list. Alas, I never got beyond the first call, to a smart veteran political strategist.
"Richard," she said rather impatiently, "as usual you have missed the point entirely. Hillary doesn't have to do anything. All she has to do is talk, make some warm fuzzies toward the family agenda and she's got a good shot at breaking off the two percent she needs to win."
"People aren't that stupid," I declaimed, in my most stirringly populist tones. "You can't play against type just by talking."
"Really?" she asked. "Her husband deflated his pro-life opposition just by going around the country mouthing 'safe, legal, and rare.' Then he gave us partial-birth abortion."
"Well that might be a good start," I shot back. "How much does she really care about keeping a tiny percentage of particularly grotesque abortions legal? Why shouldn't a White House-hungry Hillary move on that?"
"Perfect!" she exclaimed. "You are some kind of political genius, you are! Too bad Reagan didn't have you around during the Cold War, we could be having this conversation in Russian!"
"Look," she explained, adopting a tone appropriate to the instruction of the very young, "we passed the partial-birth ban. The courts overturned it. Without better judges we can't win. It's now a no-lose issue for Hillary. She'd be right to take your suggestion. I can just see her on stage publicly agonizing about how she might have been wrong, all the while knowing she'll never have to vote on it again. Her base won't care. Meanwhile our folks will eat it up and just be ready to give her a big sloppy hug.
"Don't forget, our people really are Christians. They really do believe there should be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over 99 who had no need. Look at all the capital Joe Lieberman picked up with family-values folk over the years by talking our talk. Of course he's never actually done anything, but we swoon over him out of sheer desperate gratitude for a Democrat we can connect with on any level.
"Still, you are right about one thing. Hillary is going to be very useful. She is about to teach our coalition partners a very painful lesson, which is that she can talk the talk they've been talking for years and just as well. Gore couldn't, Kerry wouldn't. But she can and she will."
Hmmm. Maybe that's right. Maybe this time the only way out for our guys will be to actually do something on family issues, including some things many Republicans find hard, like maybe a marriage amendment. Up to now, conventional Republicans and supply-siders have never had to stretch for the family agenda. Now, thanks to Hillary, they're going to have to — or they'll lose.
The evil that will not die!

That is it. Pure, unadulterated evil and power-lust. If you think you have seen the largest pile of bull excrement in the world, just wait until you see the pile she builds over the next three years!!!!
She will have idiots believing she is Doris Day, Joan of Arc, and the female Jesus all rolled into one by then.
I still hold my opinion that she will turn on the illegal immigration issue, banking it will gain her more votes than lose votes. One of the biggest vulnerabilities the right has at present. She will do ANYTHING, and say ANYTHING, to get votes, as we know. It's all about POWER AND CONTROL.
"Don't forget, our people really are Christians
Hogwash.
The author has a tough name.
I am as opposed as anyone to the Wicked Witch of the Midwest becoming President of the United States...but do we really need to resort to Vigilanteism?
P.T. Barnum said "There's a sucker born every minute." The man didn't become wealthy because he was stupid.
The "political consultant" is correct. There will be people who will actually want to believe that Hillary has repented, and that will be their undoing.
Hillary! is going to run as a Pro-Life, Southern Conservative Baptist Christian.
If we run Condi, what are we going to do?
Vote Pro-Life, or moderate Pro-Choice?

You are exactly right. She is EVIL and VILE and I think the 900 FBI files were just the beginning. With Executive Orders, bribary, intimidation, etc., she would make Hitler or Stalin look like boy scouts. They didn't have the technology we have. I see a third party candidate emerging-like Ross Perot. We had better get out stuff together starting now.
The Demoncrats, as I pointed out years ago, will become "born-again" and for smaller gov't, to enable Hitlery to "serve us" for eight years.
Mrs. X42 will be saying, "Amen, Hallelujah, Praise God, miracles, blessings, and forgive me" and the sheeple will just follow the shephard oligarchy.
Did you see this poll on Freep? I CAN`T believe there are 35 Freepers who would vote for Hitlery666. They must be trolls or something.

You can fool some of the people some of the time and all of the people all of the time but if your name is Hillary Clinton you can't fool anybody ...
Clinton slipped in by running when everyone else was too scared to run. He taught every politician to never let that happen again. Now, regardless of how popular an incumbent is, there will be top names to run. And 2008 is an open seat-- no one slips by in an open seat environment. It will be a free-for-all, but Hillary will scare them away by raising $200M for the primary-- more than any GOP candidate will raise, too.
Like a cop friend of mine was telling me, a crook will usually commit a crime 30 to 50 times before they are caught, so if Hitlery was caught with all those things, you can bet she`s done stuff like that 100`s of times that we never hear about. She stole 900 FBI files which means she probably stole a hell of a lot of other things as well. She`s a sociopath. She can`t do anything without doing something that is morally wrong, she couldn`t even run for Senator without doing sinister stuff, getting her husband to pardon FALN terrorists so she could buy votes. Hey, after all they`re only terrorists.
That’s if she even got the nomination. And that’s a hell of an uphill battle. The moderate Dems don’t like her, and the leftist wackos hate her. Check out this DU hate fest:
You can put lipstick on a pig...but it's still a pig.
This shrew will be no more successful hiding her black heart and naked ambition than Kerry was claiming to be a war hero.
For whom the bell tolls, Hillary.
It tolls for thee...
I wouldn't be so quick. I saw Mark Warner talk the talk of a fiscal conservative, and win the governorship in a fairly conservative state.(VA) After he won, he immediately raised taxes and acted just like any other dim. But he still talks the talk and he has quite a bit of support because no one can believe that a public official will lie with that straight face. This is what the press is supposed to remind us of, but for some reason, the press loves the guy. Go figure....
