We have a governor here in Washington that does the same thing. They go in front of left-of-center (as opposed to wacko-left) groups and say a bunch of mush. The response of the media is: "Hey, they aren't breathing fire, so they must be moderates! Aren't we all on the left moderates! Yes we are! The only radicals are those who vote Republican!

They talk to themselves and believe it. But just like our governor here in Washington, they're flaming leftists who like to politically cross-dress for the sake of media stories.

Big whoop. She's still a commie, and she's still uglier than Medusa.

Never forget that Hillary could get 45%, or better, of the vote because she is a Democrat and a female. People will vote anatomy and party over ability and position everytime.

Keep this in mind as we allow the federal government to become more and more powerful and take more and more freedoms away in the name of terrorism. Some day in the very near future Hillary might be the one that ends up with all of that power. We might think it OK because Bush is a good man, but he will not be President forever. Hillary quite likely could be the one to follow. Imagine how she would use the power of the Homeland Security Office.

Many would argue with that statement. Especially anyone that does not live in Seattle.

The Onion. This has to be from The Onion.

Either that, or we are now living in an Alternate Universe!

I don't think that's really Hitlery's picture. The thighs aren't big enough and if you looked a little lower, you would see that the ankles are a way too thin. :)

"Sounds like Godzillary's friends in the media are doing some pre-election product placement. They'll float this "moderate" balloon and see how it flies. Then if it works without alienating too many of Her Thighness's lunatic fringe constituents, expect it to be a major component in her campaign strategy."

BING-O!

The ones that need to be speechless are the liberals who tell us these outright LIES. The whole Clinton Administration was one continuous lie of one crisis after another that Conservatives were responsible for.

Only problem? Like the gas crisis of the 1970's, NONE OF IT HAPPENED!!!

Need proof? Just notice that the moment they get tired of flapping their gums on some crisis, it ceases to be a crisis. It's positively Carvillian...Tell a lie often enough and people will believe it as truth. Stop talking about it and the threat completely disappears.

Hillary a moderate? Tell us another one!

"The Clintons and others like them have intuitively stumbled on an obscure psychological law. Absolute rage is impossible for someone to maintain for extended periods. It is possible to rejuvenate it under certain circumstances, but it is impossible to maintain for any period. People who are enraged need to go on with their lives and need to suppress their rage to do it. Human physiology can't maintain rage. For a variety of reasons, rage can not be maintained. After a period, rage produces internal personal changes, or is changed into something else; i.e., people adapt to that which stimulates rage. They invert rage and turn it into depression or numbness and turn it against themselves. They become resigned. They become broken and docile. The longer they continue in any of those conditions, the harder those conditions are to reverse."

Indeed. One addition: these people count on the public having a short memory.

Ask 100 people on the street who Craig Livingstone is.

Ask who Billy Dale is.

Ask them who is Ken Bacon, and what did he do that might be a little unethical?

Blank stares is what you will get.

And that is (part of) the reason these slugs prosper.

Ok. So she's a moderate marxist.

I think it's reasonable to compromise on this one.

Senator Hillary Clinton (D-YKE) will also avoid the pitfall many Dems will have in upcoming elections. The choice of "are you a Green or a Democrat?" She will never be forced to decide publicly which side she supports.

``It's phony. I think she's angling for the presidency and she can't do it as a Ted Kennedy liberal.''

Truer woids was never spoke. I've noticed her leaning to the moderate side of things, at least in public.

She hates this country, and she'll tear it apart if given the opportunity. Does she have the stamina to swallow her true self for a while, and pursue the presidency as a moderate? I think so.

She managed to hold a forgiving smile as X42 delivered the SOTU address in 2000 (was it 2000 or 1999?), throwing her a very carefully directed 'I loooove yooouu' gesture. We'll see.

No question about it--she's a MODERATE COMMUNIST! While everyone gets a life micro-managed by a government she leads, she gets to own all the property. The best of capitalism and communism rolled into one, all for her benefit.

Why are there no headlines calling her what she really is--a "benevolent" despot?

Liberals have with increasing success made the definition of center, far to the left and the norm, or moderate.

Even the Republicans have increasingly acquiesced to their strategy, and policies which were once considered too far left, like increasing federal education, or welfare for farmers, or expanding medicaid entitlement, are now embraced as moderate and mainstream by the NEW!World Order GOP. Look at how the repubicans are tripping all over themselves to vote a prescription drug bribe for medicare votes.

Not long ago, a thread ran which detailed how Hillary voted for more spending than any other freshman senator, maybe even any other sitting senator in history. That ain't moderate. Yet the mainstream liberal journalists are throwing the old Hillary down the memory hole and building a new and improved version in preparation for her presidency.

Just wait until Hillary and her crew get ahold of the provisions of the Patriot act, TIPS, and other Bush initiatives. Remember who Hillary and Bill think are terrorists...not Muslims, but right wing gun owners and evangelical Christians.
