"The former First Lady is positioning herself as a showy centrist for Campaign 2008."

[wheezer]

I think his move to the left is going to do more damage than his poll takers expected. It's going to cost him some right wing support and he's not going to pick up much from the left.

I think his biggest problem is that he is proving himself to be easily rolled, insulted, and undermined without fear of reprisal, something totally contrary to what we were assured was the make-up of the man (don't mess with GW or you'll pay...big time).

The left is controlling the leaking of the pre-9-11 info, and setting GW up for the great undercutting to come. He blew it.

Great links. Thanks

And Bush would be smart to elevate Rice to VP to trump HRC. After HRC loses once, she's done as presidential material and we can all relax.

[Piquaboy]

If she is a centrist, I am the King of England.

[Morgan's Raider]

Sure, Hitlety's a centrist. She falls right in between Lenin and Mao.

[Morgan's Raider]

Uh, that's 'Hitlery'...

[finnman69]

Hillary is a centrist? BWAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA!

Yeah, and I am Joe McCarthy.

[Our man in washington]

I suppose if you're halfway between Maoism and Stalinism, you can call youself a "centrist."

[steve50]

Excellent quote rd, thank you. I'll add that to my collection

Hillary will morph into anything she thinks will get the job done. This is not about destroying the USA it is about Power for the Clintons and thier army of apes and if the USA or any other country gets ground up in the process, well, ok. She clearly has no loyalty to the USA, only the money and Power she has hyjacked in her perpetual campaigning and quest for total dominence of the world by the Clintons. She is every bit as evil and every bit as big an enemy to this country as Al Queda and deserves the same treatment!

Under-estimate HillC at your own peril. Unlike BillC in 1991, she has the political machine, political clout, political name. Next year you will hear more and more great things about HillC--as the media and her machine starts building her up.

Poo Poo her possible running, if you want. All the time she is emassing a force behind the scenes.

Poo Poo her as a candidate and, like BillC--who unseated a war-winning, popular sitting President--you may be saying Madam President in 2005.

DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE HER. DON'T.

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

But which legacy?

Yesterday, I heard an interview with the woman who will be teaching the 'Clinton 101' class at some Arkansas university. The interviewer identified her as a republican, but her views on Clinton, clearly earn her some kneepads.

Her take on the Clinton 'legacy' issue is that Clinton will have multiple legacies.

That because he is the 'Clinton' who compartmentalized while in office, his legacy should be compartmentalized also. With all the good, wonderful things making up one legacy, while the scandals, rumors, etc make up the other legacy.

Instead of the good and evil twins, Clinton should be historically remembered for his good and evil legacies.

These people never give up, do they?

[backhoe]

These people never give up, do they?

No, and they never will. They have invested so much of their own "being-ness" into supporting a cheat, fraud , & liar that they cannot disengage.
They certainly will never admit to being duped like the Soccer Moms were- but that's exactly what happened.

I honestly believe that after a few years have passed, people will look back to the 1990's as

"The Decade of Frauds..."

Meant to reply earlier & plumb forgot- thanks for looking, and feel free to copy & redistribute any or all of those links.

....she and Bill pulled the covers down, sat up in bed, looked at each other, and said, "We pulled it off!"

wonder who they were in bed with?

[DoctorMichael]

.......I think it's pretty well-established that Hillary will run in 2004 or 2008.........

.........and don't forget, McCauliffe (appointed by the Clintoons) holds the purse-strings for the DNC...........and therefore owes THEM Big-time.

[Samwise]

Actually, I think that is a very flattering picture of the She-Beest. If she were really built like that, she might not...oh, never mind. I'm too much of a lady to go there.

[ladyinred]

Of course Hillary is trying to portray herself as a centrist. That is exactly how she and Dick Morris played it when Bill was running, either for Governor, or for President. She is the most liberal of all liberals so this is just a cheap political move that she has used before to get Bubba elected.

[altair]

Poo Poo her as a candidate and, like BillC--who unseated a war-winning, popular sitting President--you may be saying Madam President in 2005.

DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE HER. DON'T.

Yup. History does have a tendency to repeat itself.

The country, I believe, is ready for a woman President. If the Republicans can't come up with one, it'll be Hillary!. She's not dumber than dirt like Algore who is too stupid to be able to steal a close election. When she runs, she'll break any law she needs to in order to win.

Oops! Sorry.......
