Hill wouldn't recognize the truth if it bit her in the behind. It'll be interesting to see if she trots out the 'We're going to take things away from you for the common good' line when she runs in '08. I think she'll dangle a carrot in front of the voters. The old bait and switch. If she tries this during the primaries, will her opponents be brave enough to call her on it? The MSM won't help.
Fox this am, and a panel of talking heads discussing the past year...how did Bush do? Up or down. To a man, the dems trotted out bogus negatives. Iraq War illegally fought -- No WMD's found, Not enough troops, No exit strategy, No real allies, No this, No that, (all memorized). Combat deaths, Abu Graebe prison atrocities, 'bad' economy, scandals, Trampling civil liberties! etc. When the moderator pointed out that they didn't have any new ideas to put before the voters, this was dismissed as So what. Even the dimmest bulb in the box gets sick and tired of hearing this drivel. They're going straight over the cliff.
The trouble is Hill is smart enough to let the rest of the party head left, while she pretends to sit in the middle. Somehow she'll plant herself in front of an army base for a big photo op. We'll hear, "When I was in Iraq eating with the troops," or maybe that was Afghanistan. (She'll play Joan of Arc.) Pay raises, more benefits for the troops, raise the minimum wage (isn't it time for that again?), get allies to do more heavy lifting. Real homeland security for the US. Promises, promises, lies and more lies. But the MSM will simply say hyperbole on the stump is expected.
