[Constitution Day]

Steyn ping.

[Red Badger]

.....preserve our two-party democratic system.

The Constitution DOES NOT guarantee a two-party system.......If we had only ONE party, it would still be okay with the Constitution......

[Paul Ross]

Steyn is taking names...and kicking you-know-what!

[knighthawk]

Ping

[John Lenin]

with the exception of Hillary’s election as president



If she wins, the fix is in and the country comes unglued.

[Rummyfan]

But if it’s Bill Frist against Hill, get set for a non-stop cavalcade of stories with little inset photos of Mrs. Thatcher, Mrs. Gandhi, Mrs. Bandaranaike (Sri Lanka), Golda Meir, Benazir Bhutto, Helen Clark (New Zealand), etc., etc., and headlines like “Is America Ready?” that manage to imply ever so subtly that not voting for Hillary is the 2008 equivalent of declaring that Negroes are three-fifths of a human being. Yes, yes, I know — cattle futures, HillaryCare . . . That’ll be 16 years old on Election Day and nobody — or not enough — will care.

Sobering...... all the more sobering because I can find no fault with the Great Steyn's reasoning. Who can defeat this Be-otch and send her back to Chappaqua????? George Allen? Mitt Romney? Jeb Bush?

I think Steyn is wrong. Hillary is not electable.

We’re in one of those phases now — hence, the vogue for columns on the “Conservative Crackup,” a fearsome beast that, like the Loch Ness Monster, more and more folks claim to have spotted looming in the distance. In reality, the unrelieved gloom is on the Dem side of the ledger: The Republicans are all but certain to increase their majority in 2006. Whereas, if you want the state of the Democratic party in a single image, cut out the photograph from the New York Times the other day: a pumped Robert C. Byrd giving a clenched-fist salute at a MoveOn.org rally. That’s the Rainbow Coalition 2005 model: a dwindling band of ancient vindictive legislators yoked to a cash-flush unrepresentative fringe. It would actually be to the Democrats’ advantage if the Byrd-Kos union were to crack up, but instead their union seems merely cracked, like a miscast double-act thrown together by a desperate burlesque agent.

There is, however, one exception to the Dems’ dance of death: President-presumptive Rodham Clinton. The chances of a Rodham restoration in the White House are better than even. For one thing, the salient feature of the Clintons’ Democratic party is that it was grand for the Clintons, disastrous for the party: The Dems lost everything — House, Senate, state legislatures, governorships — but somehow Bill and Hill were always the lone exceptions that proved the rule. Clinton couldn’t even bequeath the White House to his vice president in a time of “peace and prosperity,” yet the First Lady won an unprecedented victory in a state she’d never lived in. There is no reason to believe the Clintons’ historical immunity to their party’s remorseless decay will not continue.

bump!

[NCSteve]

Steyn ping for when you get home from church, TC. This one's scary, and dead-on as usual.

[Christian4Bush]

Bump, mate!

[Cicero]

If the Republicans play it right, they can win. But it's not obvious at the moment who their candidate for will be in 2008. The most prominent names are pro-abortion, and therefore unelectable.

It wouldn't be the first time the Republicans managed to take a winning position and lose with it.

My dream vision at the moment is that Condi stands up, declares that she has seen the light and is now pro-life, and runs for the presidency. Failing that, they will have to take some conservative southerner who is unknown to most of the country and make him known, with the liberal media obstructing every inch of the way.

[proud American in Canada]

Thanks for posting this, CD, and for the ping, Pokey.

I think Hillary could definitely be elected. It would be the uninformed and women who vote her in.

Take my sister, for example. Please ;)

She never reads the news--especially political news--and is proud of it. And she votes straight ticket Democrat in every election.

There are plenty of women who voted for GW because of security concerns who would love to vote for Hillary. Especially after the fawning Oprah appearances, etc...

*gag*

[hattend]

But don’t be surprised if November 2008 is the usual day of disaster for Democrats in the Senate, House, and states, with the exception of Hillary’s election as president — and Chelsea’s stunning victory in the North Dakota governor’s race.

Just don't run a "Bob Dull" campaign and I think it will be all right. Well, unless it's McCain or Guliani...they'd be even worse! If either of those two are the Pubbie nominee, I'm selling some mutual funds shares and buying lots more guns and ammo.

and Chelsea’s stunning victory in the North Dakota governor’s race

Really?

[mrsmith]

Hillary(!) is all the left has left- the media will do anything to put her in office.

If she runs for pres we will have to, and will have the opportunities to, destroy the current news media.

"...that robotic I Speak Your Weight voice. "
Mark always has some good ones!

[Toskrin]

No doubt she's running - when Bill went with Bush to the Pope's funeral, he couldn't stop gushing about how great it was to be back on Air Force One.

And the country will eat it up. It will be 1992 nostalgia all over again. Nirvana instead of Fleetwood Mac. Carville and Begala. The press won't be able to shut up about her. Bill back in the White House as the "first man". Ahhh....

If she gets elected, I promise I'm moving to the Congo.

Ha! Steyn can turn a phrase!

[Senator_Blutarski]

Steyn greatly overrates Hillary's ability as a public speaker. She remains shrill and difficult to listen to for more than 60 seconds. Whenever she departs from her prepared text the "you know's" begin to flow and her hard edge shows. She will not look presidential in a debate.

[lawgirl]

Please God, spare us from another President Clinton.
