I see.
So you do object to Hillary in principle, but you are still buying into the Left myth that the powers of the Executive have been mystically enhanced by the Patriot Act.
The GOP has tried to make Bush a king
Arguments are not bolstered by paranoia and hysterics.
The powers of the Executive Branch especially in departments overseen by it are way out of line with the Constitution. Unfortunately the GOP is just as much to blame as the DEMs for this. For example I would expect the GOP to place more restrictions on such agencies yet many are allowed to create laws in effect by-passing congress.
I am against Clinton yes anyone who knows my posting knows I'm not a DEM. Nor does the GOP own my vote just because it's not the Democratic party.
The GOP better wake up about Hillary especially if they think a liberal Republican will defeat her. She will do to him what hubby did to Liberal Dole in 1996 which is run to the right of him. IOW the GOP's top three being Rudy, McCain, and Romney, will not win over Hillary. I don't like her a bit but I understand that she can talk as Conservatives as any of those three Liberals. If the GOP runs Moderate/Liberal it will loose the White house.
