God Is a Centrist Democrat: Hillary Clinton moves self, whole party into the religious middle

I'm not a religious person at all, but do grown men really kneel by their bedside to pray each night. Isn't that a little kid thing?

If you truly worship God, you will take a knee anytime you gain an audience.

IMHO GOD (R)

... I guarantee. She's going to demogogue medicare to death.

über-Control-Freaks' Section ALWAYS REMEMBER  what this super- bitch tries to do: Sneering Arrogance Dept."Let them eat cake" "The ['Hillary Care'] plan prescribed some eye popping maximum fines: $5,000 for refusing to join the government mandated health plan; $5,000 for failing to pay premiums on time; 15 years in prison for doctors who received ‘anything of value’ in exchange for helping patients short circuit bureaucracy; $10,000 a day for faulty physician paperwork; and $50,000 for unauthorized patient treatment.  When told the plan could bankrupt small businesses, Mrs. Clinton said, 'I can’t be responsible for every under-capitalized small business in America'." -- Tony Snow reporting on Hillary's health care plan, to which Zoh Hieronimus added, "Perhaps Hillary’s legacy will be that she made fascism seem lady-like." HERE "I'm not going to have some reporters pawing  through our papers. We are the president!"  -- Hillary Clinton Well anyway, everybody knows she screams at inferiors. "Our liberties face a far greater threat from Hillary Clinton and the Democratic Party than from Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden.  I am not saying that for impact;  I believe that to the core of my being." -- Neal Boortz

(Note: any similarity to  Dolores Umbridge  is purely intentional) "We need to stop  worrying about the  rights of the  individual and start  worrying about  what is best for  society!"  -- Hillary Clinton "...we understand  only the  individual's  capacity to  make sacrifices  for the community,  for his fellow men."  -- Adolf Hitler "The higher interests involved in the life  of the whole must  here set the limits and lay down the  duties of the  interests of the  individual." -- Adolph Hitler

Yeah, I said fascists. It’s about damned time that someone start calling 
the Democrats what they are -- economic fascists. Do your homework 
on that definition and you’ll understand." -- Neal Boortz, HERE"

That certain people can even consider enslaving doctors to any degree without meeting any objection whatsoever only underscores the incredible depths to which the moral depravity of many American institutions, public, academic and journalistic, have sunk. Slavery is horrible enough, but putting our best, most highly-skilled, educated and thoughtful professionals at the mercy of the worst, most ethically-challenged professionals such as politicians, bureaucrats and lawyers is worse than nauseating.
See: "Putting doctors in jail for practicing medicine under arbitrary rules and paying old people to put doctors in jail is a moral outrage." HERE

Hillary: What can I say to fool them today?

She hasn't figured out yet that we aren't fooled.

[smoothsailing]

Hillary: Blah Blah Blah Yadda Yadda

[mo]

misprint....should be "A Centrist Democrat is God ...AKA as "The Next President"....

[wk4bush2004]

Giuliani is pro-abortion and McCain is wishy-washy. I've looked at the list of potential candidates and a lot of them are moderate and wishy-washy on issues such as abortion and gay marriage. I'm not sure who we're going to pick. But we've got to find someone.

[funkywbr]

Going to Illarys church temple or whatever would be like going to a janet reno dance party, wretched!

[Coldwater Creek]

You know it might not be up to President Bush to pick the successor. I believe that George Bush was hand picked by God Himself and if we ask Him to and are faithful to Him, He will give us someone just as great.

(Hillary) has a brilliantly devious Hollywood PR team working around the clock to give her a new celebrity superstar image. She has a cunning political machine working to make her into a "Mrs. Smith goes to Washington" sweetheart that just wants, "what ever is best for the folks back home." She has Katie Couric, Oprah, Wolfe Blitzer, Tim Russert and Larry King just dying to give her all the free air time she wants. She has People Magazine clamoring to put her on the cover and the New York Times all but dedicating the ‘Old Gay Lady’ to her service. By the time she declares any republican they put up will seem like an 'also ran' bumpkin that doesn't deserve to stand on the same stage with her.

MEMO TO HILLARY: If you want to make God laugh, tell him your plans.

[RockinRight]

True enough.

[dead]

Maybe we'll get lucky and Cheney will elect to retire early, opening an opportunity for Bush to pick someone who has a good chance of beating Hillary.

Let's hook up Cheney with a couple of car batteries and nominate him. Hell, I'd vote for his brain in a jar if that's what it took.

[Brilliant]

I think that a certain amount of wishy-washyness is unavoidable, if you want your candidate to get elected. The key is to find one that has the sense to position himself in the middle during the campaign, but whom you trust will ultimately govern from the right. Right now, it looks like Frist might be the GOP nominee, but we might do better to look for a GOP governor who could do it.

Don't waste your time with Jeb, though. He's not going to do it, at least not this time around.

[luv2ski]

I have a good friend who is Hispanic. She told me that the men in her (large) family would never vote for a woman for President. Obviously this is anecdotal but Hispanics are a male-dominated culture at present.

[DixieOklahoma]

Thanks to the clintons 40 million american babys slaughtered. That is 1.5 million American children every year destroyed by puncturing the head and sucking out the brain.

Tragic? Yes Hillary, it is tragic that you see nothing wrong with that.

[wk4bush2004]

I'm from Maryland and they've said that our governor Bob Ehrlich is possible for a candidate. He's Republican but I think he's too liberal.

[RockinRight]

Mike Pence and Mark Sanford are the most promising IMHO. George Allen might also be OK.

[DixieOklahoma]

I pray every night when I sleep.

[marlon]

Can they replace those piano legs? :-)

Clinton, of all Democrats, has no chance of winning over the hardcore religious right. Such conservatives, says University of Akron professor John Green, who specializes in religion and politics, "really don't like her. They associate her with her husband and see her as a raving liberal." So her real target is middle-of-the-road churchgoers who take faith seriously enough to leave the Democrats because of absolutist stances on abortion rights, gay rights, and church-state separation. Yet they don't fit with the Republicans' domestic policies. "It's entirely possible for Clinton to do well with this group if she can find a moderate approach and a religious language," Green says. This group includes people like pro-life Catholics, Latino evangelicals, and black Protestants —people, in effect, like Reverend Rivers and his audience in Boston.

Yeah, but as our head FReeper, JimRob, wrote recently, first Hillary has to get by us.....and that ain't gonna be easy.
