Once upon a Clinton administration, it was conservatives who especially despised Mrs. Clinton. Yes, they hated her husband, but they seemed to find the First Lady’s own power moves very un-lady like.
It seemed unfair, to me, to read such grotesquely biased books about her as the one written by Peggy Noonan with the title, “The Case Against Hillary Clinton”. Then Ed Klein wrote, “The Truth About Hillary Clinton”. What were these right wing critics doing attacking the personal character of Hilary when all she wanted was to help the poor and get health care reformed?
But now I’ve had enough of Mrs. Clinton as well. I’ve always questioned whether she was really married to Bill Clinton, and now I realize she is not. She is really Mrs. Joe Lieberman. Her support of the $200 million dollar-a-day Iraq war, refusing to take a strong stand against this irrational invasion and occupation, is infuriating.
This is what drives potential supporters of the Democratic Party crazy! It is a party of actors that is constantly trying to find its best mark on the political stage and ends up delivering only embarrassing performances. It is the party of the third way, Bill Clinton, that only he could pull off. But when Kerry, Gore, Lieberman and Mrs. Clinton emulate the neo-con suit in liberal cloth, it only serves to drive home the point that they are empty suits.
The Middle East is best served by leaving it alone. It may be a potential lethal threat to us, but so is global warming, China and Russia. The more America steps into the dysfunction, the more we take the blame. Our planet is melting and our nation is still full of poverty and the uninsured….. and yet we spend trillions in Mesopotamia.
If Hillary can’t stand up and say, “Withdraw the troops and bring them home by January 1, 2007” then there is little reason to ever vote for a Democrat again.

Your post is grotesquely biased. 😉
My take: Liberals cannot win national election as liberals. George W Bush, Ronald Reagan, they can run as conservatives and win that way. The last time a liberal admitted to being a liberal and didn’t lie about it and pretend to be a moderate at least until they got in office (Bill Clinton never did come through with that middle class tax cut, did he; Kerry refused to take the liberal label when Bush attempted to apply it to him in 2004) was, what, Dukakis? We saw how that ended up (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Dukakis for you kids out there that may not recall any of this).
So, Hillary has to lie and pretend – if and when she fools some of the people some of the time, then she will govern left of where she runs, no doubt. Maybe not as left as the author of this blog would like, so in the primaries you might want to consider someone else…?
PS: Edward Klein is an independent who formerly worked for the New York Times. http://www.nationalreview.com/interrogatory/klein200506200754.asp Just because he wrote a book criticizing a liberal hero doesn’t make him a right-wing hatchet man and more than Peggy Noonan’s excellent book on Hillary can said to be “grotesquely biased” – it’s her opinion, which she makes clear, but name one fact in the book that is distorted or false, please.
