I had always believed Hillary Clinton put on the centrism which defined the better part of her Senate career (well, until she started seeing challenges emerging in the contest for the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination) as a guise to grease the wheels for this fall’s general election.
After all, before her election to the Senate in 2000, she often seemed the liberal ballast to her husband’s leadership in the Democratic Leadership Council which tried to move their party to the center.
In the Democratic campaign this year, she first moved to the left to try to outflank Senator Obama, then later to the right to appeal to blue collar constituencies in the states whose primary contests came late in the game.
Once she had lost that game, she seems to have reverted to her pre-2000 form, voting against the FISA reform her erstwhile primary opponent had long opposed, but suddenly backed as he felt the need to move to the center in anticipation of the fall campaign.
Now that her presidential hopes seem perpetually dimmed, she’s back to voting her liberal conscience. A conscience she once scorned in pursuit of political advantage.
One quick correction, Dan – the Clintons don’t have a conscience, and never will.
Otherwise, spot on as usual.

Hillary’s aces!

Peter,
Your just a deuce.
ooh ooh. me me!
Does that make Obama, the Suicide King?
Mystery Solved: Why leftist gheys are siding with the Islamists.
meanwhile in Israel, the Trojan Horse is doing the following:
After one of his handlers supplies him with the appropriate empty platitude.
“Can’t I just finish my blintzes?!”
GPW,
I totally agree that these are Hillary’s true colors, but I wonder if she isn’t dolling herself up for the super-delegates should Obama start to tank before the convention. Apparently, a few have already switched back to supporting her.

That coming from a deuce for brains.
Hagee and his flock are claiming the Anti-Christ will be a Gay Jew and that if the Jews don’t accept Christ, they will be damned.
#10: “After one of his handlers supplies him with the appropriate empty platitude.”
Yeah. It’ll sound something like: “Yes. But it will be a new and different kind of Holocaust. The kind of Holocaust with hope for the future and change from the misguided Holocausts of the past…”
Sean A – I imagine Hussein’s response will be “Of course no one wants a second holocaust, and when I am president, I will meet with those who want a second Holocaust and I will talk them out of it using the power of words. For I am Captain Bullsh1t, and I am Master of Bullsh1t, and through the power of my might bullsh1t, I will turn the hearts of those who want to bring about a Second Holocaust, because no one wants to bring about a second holocaust.”
Or, words to that effect, anyway.
#14 – Please cite proof of this assertion, otherwise we will consider it just more of the McSame from you.

Dear Peter,
Enjoy this–The Anti-Christ will be Gay and Jewish!
Hagee and his flock are claiming the Anti-Christ will be a Gay Jew and that if the Jews don’t accept Christ, they will be damned.
And Obama’s actual spiritual mentor for over two decades, the man Obama credits with shaping and directing his entire worldview and opinions, blames all the problems of the world on “whitey”, insists that terrorism against the United States is justified, and that HIV/AIDS is a government plot to destroy black people.
Pinky Bear supports and endorses that, though, because the Massa Obama does.
And you White Southerners would hate seeing a Black Man in Power.
#18 – And this proves exactly what? It’s not as if Hagee speaks for a big swath of conservatives.
(As an aside: Hey Dan – did you know that according to some Bible-thumping nitwit, your name is supposed to be 666?)
Like we should care what Hagee says. It’s not as if McCain was sitting in his church for 20 years, got married there, had his kids baptized there while the “pastor” was screaming obscenities.
Try again.

Peter H.
NDT, you left out the fact that the Obamas donated tens of thousands of dollars to Jeremiah Wright’s church and The Lightworker gave his book the title of one of Wright’s sermons.
But, of course, The Lightworker had no idea that Jeremiah Wright was an America-hating loon. The Lightworker sat in his church for 20 years and couldn’t figure out what most normal figured out listening to five minutes of his sermons.
#20 – What makes you think I’m a Northern European Anglo-Saxon Protestant when I am none of those things?
Again, racist liberals like yourself admire people for WHAT they are. Conservatives admire people for WHO they are.
And nobody on this board seems to admire you, period.

Peter H.
And you White Southerners would hate seeing a Black Man in Power.
Which is why Michael Steele was voted into office in Maryland.
Which is why Bobby Jindal was voted into office in Louisiana.
The fact that white liberals think skin color is a substitute for competence does not mean that those who disagree with them are racists.
But, of course, The Lightworker had no idea that Jeremiah Wright was an America-hating loon
Actually this isn’t true.
I saw a video on YouTube that had Obama’s audio book for Dreams from my Father
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lI77cU3jsFs
In the book, Obama gives details of the speech that we all saw on TV and know as the “God Damn America” speech.
At 8min 42sec into the video, they show Obama reading
“Wright spoke of Sharpsville and Hiroshima, the callousness of policy makers in the WHite House and the State House…”
Obama is reading these words… then they go to the clip of Wright just before he gets ready to say “God Damn America” and he mentions Sharpsville and Hiroshima.
Obama was there!
And you White Southerners would hate seeing a Black Man in Power.
White Southerners elected Michael Steele, JC Watts, and Bobby Jindal without any problems.
You confuse the fact that white Southerners do not believe that skin color ensures automatic competence and prefer to judge people on factors other than skin color with racism. Your belief that black skin equals automatic competence and superiority regardless of individual performance is more correctly deemed racism.
Vince, I was being sarcastic when I said the Lightworker had no idea his spiritual advisor was an America-hating racist. Of course, he knew all along.
VK: I know that. I guess I should have been more clear about what I found.
Common sense says he obviously knew everything going on at the place.
But the news was never able to actually pinpoint his presence at any of the known anti-american sermons. (though I’m sure every sermon is like that)
What I just discovered is proof that he was there… at the very speech that provoked so much outcry to begin with.
My church takes roll, so I could never get away with that. Of course, we also sing patriotic hymns like “God Bless America” and “Battle Hymn of the Republic,” so it wouldn’t be an issue unless I ran for office in California or some other moonbat hive.
That’s putting it mildly.
Getting back to the thread, it seems as though the Clintons have just dried up into dust and blown away, considering the MSM love-fest with the Obamanator.
And to think that less than 5 years ago, Shrillary OWNED the media. Now she can’t even get Jesse Jackson to contribute to her testicle lock box.

Disagree. Your example was FISA reform. She would have happily proposed the same bill that she voted against, if she thought it would enhance her power. She is merely “running to the Left” for the 2012 primaries, in case the Messiah loses. That is her next logical move. The Clintons only care about their own power.
#8 V – another reason gay men should not shave or otherwise trim their body hair, unless they are either completely gorillas, or perpetually lice-infected.
And Many black people, Like Jeremiah Wright have no reason to be mad at how America has treated black people.
Of course, all religion is a ruse, a vestigial superstition from humanity being unable to understand the natural world around them. There is no Jesus, Zeus, Allah or any other deity. Religion is a great way into fleecing the gullible of their money. You know Hagee couldn’t give one damn about Jews if it were written that Jesus was going to come back there.
#32
That from an assclown who supports the racist, anti-Semitic liberals.
“Of course, liberalism is a ruse, a vestigial superstition from humanity being unable to think for themselves or have no interest in the real world around them… Liberalism is a great way into fleezing the gullible of their money and making them ‘feel good’ about it.”
Or you could say:
“Of course global warmism is a ruse, a vestigial superstition created by those who crave absolute power over the masses and bought into by pinheads unable to understand the natural world around them…Global warmism is a great way into fleecing the gullible of their money and making them ‘feel good’ about it.”
Fixed it for ya, arrogant prick.
Fleecing, even.
And Many black people, Like Jeremiah Wright have no reason to be mad at how America has treated black people.
Given his thirty-plus years as the head of a megachurch at a princely salary, plus his multimillion-dollar retirement house, he rather belies the statements he makes that a black man cannot succeed in America because whites are all racists — as well as his complaints about how America treats black people.
I notice you haven’t commented on the racism of Obama Party supporters like Kwame Kilpatrick, also a devotee of Jeremiah Wright, who claims black people should not even ride in cars or be associated with white people. Could that be because you have to defend the racism of these Obama supporters?
NDT, and what about Michelle Obama? Here’s somebody who got handed an Ivy League education (probably over others who better qualified) and then went onto a 300K job and she still hates America? What’s up with that? Phil Gramm was right.
TGC, I thought about trying to write another ‘correction’ of Good Riddance’s hateful screed, but I can’t top yours.
BOOSH!!!
Kinda funny how the people who claim that religion is the enemy of critical thinking and independent thought are the same one who mindlessly recite the talking points of the DNC and the Obamassiah campaign.
