Hillary Clinton veers left in search of the Democratic base

Hillary Clinton angrily condemned the bleakest results of Barack Obama’s economy in a recent speech, but didn’t dare say who was responsible for them.

“What would Robert Kennedy say about the fact that still, today, more than 16 million children live in poverty in the richest nation on earth,” she said in an address to an elite, well-fed crowd in a Manhattan ballroom at an awards gala to honor the slain Democratic presidential candidate.

“What would he say about the fact that such a large portion of economic gains have gone to such a small portion of our population,” she continued, and so little to poor minorities that make up the core of the Democrats’ liberal political base.

Fearing a left-wing cabal is building a campaign to draft Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts for the presidential nomination, Mrs. Clinton is retooling her message to reconnect with a party that may be turning against her candidacy.

Other presidential hopefuls are waiting in the wings to challenge her in the party primaries: Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley, former Sen. James Webb of Virginia, Sen. Bernard Sanders of Vermont, a socialist, and maybe more to come.

Doug, you may have only one more election cycle to comment on Her Thighness before she becomes truly irrelevant.

Have fun!

Hillary the Flying Buttress is too gargantuan even for a Macy’s parade float.

She needs a sign stenciled on her @zz: “Fragile. Handle with Canadian Club.”

I’ve often wondered about the great society and war on poverty. After 50 yeRs it appears that poverty won the war on poverty. We have spent trillions and there are proportionately roughly the same percentage of people in poverty now as before. why are liberals never called to account for the failures of their programs??? I have yet to see anything in the media discussing the war on poverty, and whether any goals were Achieved.

I’d love to see the damned elitists on both sides of the aisle burn themselves out on this pathetic crap way beforehand this cycle.

So damned tiresome.

The GOP if it was worth a damn anymore could destroy these communists with a coherent message and policies to benefit the middle class.

K-Street will have none of it though.

Why do politicians have to be such vile hypocrites. They will say or do anything to get elected. It seems that some of them are soul-less..They do not realize that man’s life/woman’s life on this planet is very short and that everything we do has an impact on future generations whether we realize it or not. How can hypocrisy, lying and an avoidance of truth be good for posterity? And, what about where one is to spend eternity? God definitely has a lot to say about all this.
