Republicans relish the prospect of Hillary Clinton running for president in 2008, just so they can vote against her, former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani was quoted as saying.
Giuliani, who is expected to be a leading candidate for the Republican Party nomination, described the New York senator and former first lady as a polarising force who ignited strong passions across the political spectrum, the New York Post reported.
"Democrats seem to support her as their main candidate for president -- she's way ahead of anybody else -- and it seems like Republicans are just waiting for her to be the candidate so they can vote against her," he said.
"She definitely creates passions on both sides," he added.
"Hillary probably has the distinction of being the best fundraiser for the Democratic Party -- and the best fundraiser for the Republican Party," he said.
Clinton has yet to officially state her intention to run, but has been tipped as the leading Democratic hope, ahead of other potential candidates such as husband Bill Clinton's vice president Al Gore, former senator John Edwards and 2004 candidate John Kerry.
A poll in Time Magazine, however, suggested that she would be pipped in a head to head challenge by top Republican contender Senator John McCain.
"Screw moral values for awhile, kick some serious muslim ass!"
Amen.
Where we stand on gay marriage isn't worth spit if we're dead.
And the freepers who claimed Hillary is strong on defense are total morons. Remember when the Clintons pardoned 16 FALN Marxist terrorists? Or her ties to the World Federalist Association (one world government)?
This woman is lying and cheating her way to the top, and needs to be stopped, whatever it takes.
ole Bill is really got his hopes up . Hil must of promised him a jobas the pperson who gets to break-in the interns.If she gets in the country will really go to HELL in a hat basket
I agree, this evil witch would make Joe Stalin look tame if she could get away with it.
that's who the LIBERALS' at al-Time magazine want you to think is the repub's top contender. Sly little devils arent they?
in the next 30 years there will be a HUGE migration of hard-working white conservatives to Australia!
Real? Or Memorex . . . (Photoshop?)
No way. 1. he is patriotic. 2. he likes the USA 3. he is pro business 4. he is intelligent 5. he supports the military 6. he has little tolerance for crime.
1-6 does not describe any democrat politician that I know.

When you are polling Dims
Why not? At least we'd be well-received there.
