What does Hillary stand for?

Besides Hillary. If anything.

So you're voting for Mrs. Edwards rather than for Mrs. Bill Clinton? Ummm...wait, sorry, my mistake. She's been out on the campaign trail so much that I thought Mrs. Edwards might be running - which would have been interesting, as she'd likely beat her husband in the polls. Nevermind.

You're right, if it weren't for a prominent spouse, nobody would know or give a darn about... oh, wait...

Hillary stands for eight more years of the Clinton/Bush dynasty.

You got that right. As if 20 years of these bozos wasn't enough.

Edwards/Obama '08.

Hillary Clinton gives me the creeps--she is not my candidate. If she turns out to be candidate in the general election, I will vote for her. All the R's win the creep contest by a mile.

You got that right.

Actually, I got it backwards. It's the Bush/Clinton dynasty.

Nobody likes her and she faces threats of arrest and treason charges for having an opinion and saying what it is.

Pentagon Rebukes Sen. Clinton on Iraq, DEVLIN BARRETT, July 19, 2007 AP.

WASHINGTON — The Pentagon told Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Rodham Clinton that her questions about how the U.S. plans to eventually withdraw from Iraq boosts enemy propaganda.

In a stinging rebuke to a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, Undersecretary of Defense Eric Edelman responded to questions Clinton raised in May in which she urged the Pentagon to start planning now for the withdrawal of American forces.

A copy of Edelman's response, dated July 16, was obtained Thursday by The Associated Press.

"Premature and public discussion of the withdrawal of U.S. forces from Iraq reinforces enemy propaganda that the United States will abandon its allies in Iraq, much as we are perceived to have done in Vietnam, Lebanon and Somalia," Edelman wrote. ...

She is plainly unpatriotic, even more so since Pentagonidiotic has redefined for all American citizens, including you and me, our enacted requirement to carry our national ID at all times while travelling, even to pick up the kids, affirming our dedication to fascism.

Grist for the mill, or missed for the grill. I drool spit-takes at the wild juxtapositions in this:

On CNN, Air America's Flanders said Obama has "kind of become the female" candidate, while Clinton has "the balls"

On the July 18 edition of CNN's Lou Dobbs Tonight, Air America Radio host Laura Flanders said of Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL), "he's kind of become the female on this race. It's very interesting. He's seen as the weaker -- cute, attractive." Flanders then said of Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-NY), "Hillary is the one with the balls." Host Lou Dobbs responded, "Well, Laura, my goodness." The comments came after Flanders noted that daytime television host Oprah Winfrey was supporting Obama while, according to Flanders, Oprah's mother "is 100 percent for Hillary."

Dobbs then turned to ...

Wow...that is the first time I have heard that phrase...can I ask what that means?

Wow...that is the first time I have heard that phrase...can I ask what that means?

Isn't it self-evident?

The policy differences between the Bushes and Clintons are superficial.

Twenty years of continuity in foreign policy (Bush I's Gulf war, followed by continuous Iraq bombing and infanticidal sanctions under Clinton, followed by Bush II's Iraq War), trade policy ("fast track", WTO, NAFTA, etc.), fiscal policy (hello, Alan Greenspan!), social policy (remember who "ended welfare as we know it"?) etc.

Bill Clinton was the last nail in the coffin of New Deal social liberalism. The Bush clan couldn't have done it without him, so they've adopted him as one of their own.

Keynesianism is dead; all hail Milton Friedman!
