Some in the ultraliberal national media have been labeling her as politically moderate. Our question is: Moderate as per whom, Karl Marx?
Hillary's voting record is so consistently liberal that the National Taxpayers Union -- whose voting indexes are based on some 200 roll-call votes -- gave her a 3% score for 2001. Fact is, that's the sorriest score NTU has given a freshman senator since 1977. Her voting record was not any better for 2002, either.
Worse, like Slick Willie, Hillary's history reeks with wrongdoing. The well reported untimely demise of two of Hillary's friends, Webster Hubbell and Vince Foster, instantly comes to mind.
There is also a little unresolved matter of millions of dollars in unreported "gifts" and all sorts of goodies she removed from the White House. Unfortunately, the current Justice Department refuses to confront her with these matters.
And, speaking of justice, how much perjury did Hillary commit? We may soon learn -- after the statute of limitations runs out, though. Hillary collected more than eight million bucks to recall what happened during those eight years in the White House. She could remember nothing for nearly a decade, as she testified under oath. Now we are supposed to believe that she will have enough interesting things to say about those years for a book? Sure.
Maybe we can give her a hint for some interesting book material. About the time Slick Willie was fooling with Monica Lewinsky, and others, he also brought his kissing cousin, Catherine Cornelius, in for work and pleasure. Turns out, Hillary got all upset. Not because Slick was playing kissy-face with a cousin. Because one of the White House Presidential Protective Detail Secret Service agents was, too. Whoops!
Nowadays, Hillary is quick to criticize the Bush administration's war on terrorism. But, when asked about Slick's obvious neglect of the matter, she becomes a regular little excuse factory. In one instance, she told Tim Russert on "Meet the Press" that she did not think Slick's Monica Lewinsky affair and impeachment interfered at all with the administration's pursuit of Osama bin Laden: "I don't think it's fair. I don't think it's an accurate rendering of what did happen," Hillary said. "I don't know all the details. But what has already been reported in many other sources demonstrates clearly -- and I know from personal experience -- how absolutely focused the president was on this and the kind of action that was taken."
Obviously, Hillary is not very good at reading the news. There have been reports from government officials and security experts from around the world clearly stating they would have delivered bin Laden to the U.S. government if we wanted him. The Clinton administration refused the offer.
Slick and Hillary Clinton have become rather wealthy since leaving the White House. Yet, they are still stiffing their lawyers, as a few publications reported. The Washington, D.C. lawfirm Williams & Connolly even stopped trying to collect on the estimated $9 million of outstanding legal debt the Clintons have owed since 1994.
Williams & Connolly "long ago wrote off 80 percent of what President Bill Clinton owed," Post gossip columnist Cindy Adams wrote in The New York Post, adding, "The lawfirm has already written off the majority of its $11 million outstanding."
Apparently, the Clintons had paid just $2 million of the amount owed. Which means, Hillary again ripped off yet another high-dollar, tax-free gift.
We should also not forget all the campaign finance irregularities, just in Hillary's Senate campaign. For instance, Paul Adler, a major Hillary fund-raiser, was sentenced to 19 months in prison for tax evasion and mail fraud. "Mr. Adler failed to do an honest, principled job" as party leader, federal Judge Charles Brieant said, and his crime will discourage "idealistic men and women from going into local politics."
"Prosecutors have found a witness who says the senator was present during discussions of [buying]clemency [from Bill Clinton] before the election," reported the New York Daily News, citing "sources familiar with the investigation."
But, unfortunately, the Justice Department did not charge Hillary.
Hillary likes to play with the rich contributors. Already, she runs at least two large Political Action Committees and has accepted big bucks from otherwise ineligible contributors to launder into the campaign chests of Democratic candidates who will be in position to help her later. At last report, Hillary's PACs paid out about $600,000 to buy favors from 73 Democratic candidates across the country.
Perjury, theft & corruption. There's Hillary.
Voting Record lowest.
What really happened to Hubbell and Foster, Hillary? [Hey, Doug -- Shouldn't Brown be included in that list? Hillary was co-president. ]
White House theft.
Memory blank under oath, yet writing a book. Uhuh.
Criticizes Bush, but not Willie O'Sama. Read news, Hillary.
Wealthy now, but stiffing lawyers. More uhuh.
Campaign fraud.
Diverting BIG PAC bucks.
Curent Justice Dept won't prosecute.
Perjury, theft & corruption. There's Hillary.
I'm not a tax specialist, but I believe if you have a legal debt forgiven, and it's larger than $600.00, it's supposed to be reported to the IRS as income. If a law firm has a "legal" receivable of $8,000,000 forgiven, then Hillary owes some sort of tax on that. Will the IRS pursue it?
There is also a little unresolved matter of millions of $$s for her travels all over the world and during her campaign - on taxpayer dollars using goverment transportation!

Politically moderate is like having a moderate-sized brain tumor.
Note that the reference to "Hitlerism" is followed by the statement that the "Ideology of domination has appeared again" in the State of the Union Address.
Reborn in the name of "Hillaryism", perhaps?
from the text..
"This threat is new; America's duty is familiar. Throughout the 20th century, small groups of men seized control of great nations, built armies and arsenals and set out to dominate the weak and intimidate the world. In each case, their ambitions of cruelty and murder had no limit. In each case, the ambitions of Hitlerism, militarism and communism were defeated by the will of free peoples, by the strength of great alliances, and by the might of the United States of America. Now, in this century, the ideology of power and domination has appeared again and seeks to gain the ultimate weapons of terror. Once again, this nation and all our friends are all that stand between a world at peace and a world of chaos and constant alarm. Once again, we are called to defend the safety of our people and the hopes of all mankind. And we accept this responsibility."

Isn't that imputed income to be reported to the IRS? Remember, it was the Internal Revenue Code that brought down Al Capone.
Amen to that.
who must be stopped from regaining power
One could argue that she has not lost power, at least within the Democratic Party. If she wants the nod to be the candidate in '04 she has it.
When was the last time junior Senator got such a seat at the State of the Union speech?
Yeah, I know that you're referring to what's absolutely KNOWN vs. what's generally believed by all but the kool aid drinkers, but I'm worried about one specific thing and that is the ultimate Arkancide.
Based on past performances and current and future ambitions of the Clintons, I believe there is a very real threat to President Bush. I don't believe Hillary is setting herself up as Lady Thatcher now for a run in 2008. She would have to maintain that pose for almost 6 years, speaking and voting against everything she really wants. I think she's prepping for '04, and there's really only one thing in her way--GWB.
We all know what happens to people who stand in her way. Some of them fold up and stay alive like Nita Lowey. GWB ain't gonna fold, but he could get real sick and/or die.
A sniper is possible but there's always the question cui bono. OTOH if he were heart attacked, accidented or even fast-acting cancered... The problem with any of those things is ACCESS.
The Clintons IMO have plenty of people with the necessary skills and sufficiently corrupt character, but how many with both those qualifications have ACCESS?
. Not because Slick was playing kissy-face with a cousin. Because one of the White House Presidential Protective Detail Secret Service agents was, too.
Now I'm not suggesting that this one specific agent is corrupt enough to go from the unprofessionalism of diddling the help on duty to assassination, but I AM pointing out that the Clintons have a pattern of corrupting people they are in contact with and they've had constant contact with quite a few people over TEN YEARS, people who would have access.
