Washington -- Advocates for the poor and immigrant groups couldn't have been more excited. Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, a national figure with a bully pulpit, was pushing to get welfare benefits restored to legal immigrants and demanding more money for child care.

But then Clinton did what they called the unthinkable. In early May, she signed on to a welfare plan by centrist Democrats that would increase work hours and force states to put more recipients to work.

These articles citing the new, improved, model of Hillary tick me off. They do point out how this woman is directing herself for national ambitions and the Presidency. Will the United Staes have a version of Eva Peron in the future?

I believe so, and it will come sooner than anyone thinks.

She voted for the Bayh/Carper bill because she knew not to do so would pigeon-hole her as a leftist wacko.

As much as her totalitarian/marxist ideology told her it was wrong, she needs the “centrist” dems in 2004.

With the piss-poor bunch facing Bush, she just might get on the ticket.

A stake thru the heart is the only way to stop her!

Surprise, surprise. The Beast re-inventing herself. Wonder why she is getting all of this publicity? My fondest wish is to see Billy Boy and the Beast in jail where they belong.

"Has that clinton "legacy" made you feel safer yet?"

Lest Americans ever forget why the clintons, and all their enablers need to be hectored, hounded, and harried into silence, until "clintonese is only spoken in Hell," look here:

The Holiday *Best* of Bill Clinton & his Friends!
