Washington, DC, -- Sen. Hillary Clinton's hard-line against illegal immigration is seen by some as the Democrat's attempt to solidify support for a 2008 presidential bid.
Clinton, D-N.Y., who has received the liberal moniker for her efforts as first lady in the 1990s, may be trying to win support in conservative states by coming out against illegal immigration, the Washington Times reported Monday. In fact, the paper reported, Clinton's stance is more conservative than President Bush's, calling for an entry and exit ID system for immigrants.

I hear she recently found religon as well. . .
Soon she will be going on a listening tour to see how else she should pretend to act like.
Mercy! She is sucking up big time.
Also, they have brainwashed their hardcore left base into believing all this diversity open borders BS, it could back fire by alienating a huge chunk of those voters.
Ofcourse, she has calculated all these points and must think it is a viable tactic.
How's the sex-change 'takin?
She's pandering and setting herself up for her 2008 run. Frankly though, I don't care why she's doing it. Someone has to bring this to the forefront and if it's Hillery of all people.......well like I said, this has to be brought into the public debate somehow.
I can't imagine ever voting for the woman though, but hopefully conservative voices in the GOP will rise up and take the challenge and make it a serious campaign pledge.
One can only hope.
The problem she may face is the angry Michael Moore crowd who may vote Green or stay home in large numbers come election day if she moves to far to the right in their minds.
Ha! More conservative than Bush alright. They both are willing to sell out however.
ROTFLMAO!
Well, as I pointed out in my article, she has less to lose than previously, but some unknown quantity to gain.
The Latino vote is quickly becoming a wash for the Democrats, so they need to go elsewhere to find some votes. They will use the immigration issue as a means of peeling off some conservative Bush-supporting Democrats and some single-issue Republicans from the GOP, especially in light red states.
They will also use this as a labor and environmental issue.
She`s against illegals but when she was running for Satan-or of New York she had no problem putting the people of New York in grave danger by getting her husband to pardon 17 FALN members who bombed NYC and Chicago 130 times so she could buy votes (hey, after all it was only 130 times). This woman is a bonafide sociopath and should not be near ANYTHING that has to do with making decisions for other people, much less in a political office of all things! And if anyone believes that she is for tightening our borders to stop terror, you are truly insane or you do not know the Hitlery at all. This psycopath will say, or much more important, DO anything to get power. She cares just as much about what tea to drink as she does about someone who gets killed. She is a SOCIOPATH! She is MENTALLY ILL!
bttt
Many here have been ringing the alarm bell as loud as we can, but the kool-aid drinkers just will not listen. Kerry should have been crushed in this last election. It should have been a landslide against Kerry, the most liberal out of touch candidate ever. The GOP is in serious trouble, it was the Contract with America and the memory of Reagan that swept the GOP into power, but todays GOP looks NOTHING like the CWA GOP.
FYI.. this will cause a problem for Hillary.. Leave her house in Chappaqua, dive 2 miles north on Rte 117, make a left at the traffic light onto Lexington Ave, dive a mile..you're in the center of the Village of Mt Kisco. It used to be the shopping hub of northern Westchester, before we got "malled"..it has about 8000 resident..estimated now that maybe 50% are illegal immigrants..You can't wanlk around town without runnign into lareg groups of men..hanging about..trying to find work.. there are 4-5 pick-up stops around the village. Severl of the older homes have been turned into illegal rooming houses..there may be 100's living in Each one. we've had a few murders, lots of increased crime..a few sexual attacks..and many quality of life issues..You now the pics from Lon Island. where they also have big problems..imagine the same thing compressed into a ONE square mile area, and you have an idea. The climate here is too PC to do/say anything..but it's changing..
I don't know if this strategy will work for the Democrats. But I had a very strong suspicion that they would try it.
Nobody ever said she isn't smart.
It'll split the base..more importantly..the fact that Hillary is considering it means that she wants to avoid any primaries..She's looking to be annointed..
"...a hard right turn..."
Agreed. It is sad to say but all she has to do is stay this course, do some "worshipping in church" photo ops, and go on a Fall duck hunt right before the election and she'll be in the White House again.
