Bill is ripping off the platform of the guest he tore into last night. He's just seeking attention. He is an opportunist. If you remember that, everything he says and does falls into place.
I still maintain that while the American people make mistakes, they are not stupid. IMO, the greatest threat the Dems present in '08 is the parazlying reactionary fear Hill seems to command among some conservatives. This, "Oh no! Hill is running! She's pretending to be something she isn't! The Sheeple will but it! Face it, she's our President for the next eight years!" If not that reaction we constantly hear versions of the "ABH" refrain. It's as if conservatives are setting up a scenario that will ensure this fear is realized.
I'm not afraid of Hillary. I have faith in the people. I'm not even convinced Hill will be the nominee. I don't think the Dems know who they are and so I don't think we know which candidate they will pick. Will they return to the triangulation platform? Will they continue down the Moore path? Will sanity return? Until we have the answer to that we cannot know which direction they will head for a candidate.
If consrvatives really want to win, then they need to keep an eye on all possible movements sigannling a candidate out of the Democrat Party. To focus on a single person allows the possibility to be blindsided by another. Also, we NEED to establish a strong four year record. Stop the petty complaints and work on (lean if necessary) on Republicans to put forth a strong agenda. It'll be to their benefit, as well as ours. We develop a strong record that is going to seriously dampen the Dem '08 candidates hope for success no matter who it is.
I agree with all that you said---
MY biggest fear is that the Republicans WON'T stand their ground and use their majority to get Bush's agenda even started let alone, passed. There are just too many squishy Reps in the Senate for my liking---we call them Rinos, but even some that aren't designated Rinos are worrying me re: Social Security, funding for the WOT, tax reform. etc.
From what I see George Allen is the ONLY true Rep talking this afternoon and he can't do it all--even though it is a "done deal" that Condi is going to be confirmed, it still doesn't bode well that so many are voting against her.
I heard on the radio today that Madeline Notsobright got a 99-0 vote!!!!
