Hillary Clinton: Too Much of a Clinton Democrat?
By Markos Moulitsas
Sunday, May 7, 2006; B01
Hillary Clinton has a few problems if she wants to secure the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination. She is a leader who fails to lead. She does not appear "electable." But most of all, Hillary has a Bill Clinton problem. (And no, it's not about that. )
Moving into 2008, Republicans will be fighting to shake off the legacy of the Bush years: the jobless recovery, the foreign misadventures, the nightmarish fiscal mismanagement, the Katrina mess, unimaginable corruption and an imperial presidency with little regard for the Constitution or the rule of law. Every Democratic contender will be offering change, but activists will be demanding the sort of change that can come only from outside the Beltway.
Hillary Clinton leads her Democratic rivals in the polls and in fundraising. Unfortunately, however, the New York senator is part of a failed Democratic Party establishment -- led by her husband -- that enabled the George W. Bush presidency and the Republican majorities, and all the havoc they have wreaked at home and abroad.

I thought they all longed for the Clinton years! Seems there even a great number of freepers who would rather see Hillary in the White House. I detest that woman, and fear for this nation because my own party is going to help her perhaps get elected!!!! (rather members of my party)

Well, we know that the founder of the Daily Kos is a jerk.
The interesting thing is that the Washington ComPost decided to publish this cr*p.

Moving into 2008, Republicans will be fighting to shake off the legacy of the Bush years:. . . These Repubs had better had better not follow the Demrat's rewrite of history here. . .
They can defend their president and remind America how much we can be grateful for when it comes to the Bush Legacy. . .and the horrors imposed on America as a result of the Demrat Legacy of Bill and Hillary, Inc. . . .
