Hillary is a slut. Pay her what she wants, and she’ll be anything you want.

Until she gets into power.

Then you find out what paying her really means.

From liberal to neocon is not that big a step.

Going from neocon to conservative, now that’s a rarity.

She sounds like she is related to obama.

She’s just like her husband. But if she pisses off the Obama worshippers she’ll never get the nomination. Every Obama worshipper I used to know hates Hillary.

On the vacation, why would anyone who lives in a multi million dollar mansion on Long Island need to go to Martha’s Vineyard for a vacation? Are they there just to take a little of Obama’s limelight?

Obama is backing Elizabeth Warren for 2016 and Hillary knows it. Given Obama’s patent failure and unpopularity, Hillary wants to redefine herself by running against the Obama legacy she was part of. This new claim about her opposing the “video lie” is crappola — the timeline ties her to it all along. Obama and Hillary share an advanced propensity for prevarication and media manipulation.

Saw Ed Klein (Blood Feud) on Varney today.

He said FauxCahontas had dinner in DC with the Clintons two weeks ago to attempt to solidify support for Hillary.

Wonder how that turned out?

"From liberal to neocon is not that big a step"

You should say from liberal interventionist to neocon is not that big a step.

You may recall that Joe Lieberman was a very hawkish liberal interventionist and was some times called a "leftwing neocon". That's why Lieberman was good buddies with NeoCon John McCain. And why John McCain truly loves Hillary.

Point of order: The sociopath and undoubted Satan-worshipper lives in a multi-million-dollar mansion in Chappaqua, which is not on Long Island, but in lower Westchester County.

“She is a neoconservative, a genuine, 24-carat neoconservative!”

What are you smoking, Mr. Tyrrell? She is playing the role, but she is Alinsky to the core.

I hope Emmett doesn’t believe what he wrote. Hillary is acting like a neocon hoping to garner those fed up with Obama but still capable of voting for a democrat.

Out of all the biographies written about Bill and Hillary, Emmett Tyrrell did the best job. I know because I read all of them.

When he says Hillary is now a neo-con he does not mean that she has turned into some sort of conservative. He means that she is working to "appear" to be a conservative. Hey, if that is what it takes to get as many people to vote for her, "looking" like a conservative, then she is going to do that. Doesn't mean that she has actually reverted to her Goldwater-girl days. It just means she is so desperate to become the first female president that she would want to fool me into voting for her.

The term neo-con seems to confuse a lot of people...

Simple definition is a liberal who wants to use the american military might to push democracy overseas regardless of the cost of blood or treasure...

“You should say from liberal interventionist to neocon is not that big a step.”

That’s a good point. Neoconservatism originated with liberals and even Trotskyite leftists who were foreign policy hawks. They advocated the Liberal Internationalism that guided American foreign policy from WWII right on through the end of Vietnam.

Neoconservatism was a reaction against ‘Blame America First’ liberals who believe that America is the destabilizing, if not evil, force in world politics. (If that sounds like Obama there’s a good reason for it)

With the Blame America First crowd seizing power in the Democratic Party during the 1970s the nascent Neocons found Ronald Reagan’s no nonsense foreign policy more to their liking. So they joined forces with Reagan conservatives in groups like The Committee on the Present Danger to promote a strong foreign policy. In fact they often favored a more interventionist foreign policy than Reagan.

The problem for conservatives is that Neocons still hold on to many leftist social policies and they try to promote them. They work against border control and for illegal alien amnesty. Neocons are usually just fine with gun control laws. They don’t oppose and they often promote the gay agenda. On anything touching race they will be predictably on the left even though ‘civil rights’ regulations have been a major force for increasing government intrusion in everyday life.

They aren’t lockstep on this of course, but on most domestic and social issues Neocons are far more in line with liberal Democrats than they are with conservatives. It’s on economic and especially foreign policy issues that they will join with conservatives.

The story about Hillary being a Goldwater Girl - is it false?
