Senator Hillary Clinton has confided to associates that she intends to vote FOR Bush Supreme Court nominee John Roberts, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.
Unless some unforeseen development occurs around Roberts, Clinton will throw her support behind confirmation, says a top source.
"Look, we're not thrilled President Bush is in office and gets to make these choices," said a top Hillary source, "but we have to make the best of the situation until the next election!"
With her support of Roberts, Clinton ignores pressure from the reactionary-activist wing of the Democrat party.
"She is simply doing what is right for the country, not MOVEON.ORG," the Clinton insider explained.
Developing...
You can hear the heads exploding over at DU...
I'll believe it when I see it. Either way you will never get my vote in one hundred million years you vile left wing rat...
She fear the Republican majority derailing her stuff if by some whim she gets elected.
She is laying groundwork.
When it is all said and done, this woman is going to fool a lot of people into thinking she is a centrist who should be President. . .
We may need to reevaluate Roberts. If She Who Must Not Be Named supports him then have some questions.
big deal... she knows she can't stop it so she wants to look 'accomodating' and 'reasonable' ... who cares what she thinks?
Don't tell anyone, but...Hillary is not genuine about this!! Yes, I know it is a surprise, but don't let the secret get out. She will DO ANYTHING to make people think she is something other than a hard leftist...here is the first significant example.
The move to the center continues. I believe that a lot of people will buy it too.
This, I believe, is the key statement. When she casts her vote opposing Roberts, hillary can then say that she really wanted to confirm him until ___________. (insert excuse here).
That's all it is bro..She's picking her battles carefully , staying out of a few situations , making herself come off like a moderate.She'll sacrifice a few battles to win the war.Her plan is to come off in the center and hopefully will convince enough people of that to become president ..SHE IS EXTREMLY SLICK .BE CAREFULL ........She knows exactly what she's doing and a lot of people , who otherwise would vote Republican next election , are falling for her bullsh*t.SHE IS DANGEROUS. She a SOCIALIST..SHE WINS< WE"RE SCREWED BIG TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh puh_leez, Hillary is in 'say whatever it takes to get elected' mode. Do you believe Hillary really wants to move to the right on abortion and gay rights? Hillary had always been a rabid supporter of abortion and gay rights, but now is talking compromise and finding middle ground. Hillary is taking Bill's advise, and if Kerry had followed it may very well have been President right now.
We may need to reevaluate Roberts. If She Who Must Not Be Named supports him then have some questions.
She believes that any threat to Roe vs. Wade will fire up left leaning moderates and help her get elected. She needs a conservative tilt to the Supreme Court so she can demonize the conservative tilt to the Supreme Court.
Hillary is about Hillary.
They may be liars, but the Clinton's are smart politicians. No one else in the Rat party can shine their shoes.
Hillary Klinton, right winged conservative. Does that make you puke or what?
LOL! That's right! The left is applauding her as a moderate.
Exactly what I think. I hope Roberts is like Renquist and nothing less!!
