she's always been a bit of a centrist with right wing leanings, and disgust with many Republicans. Given that I expect that we will agree on some things and disagree on others. What's your take? And more to the point, are you sure it's malice and not just centrism?

She pretends that she's a liberal and for the middle class yet she stayed completely silent on the first Ryan last year and hasn't said a word about the new Ryan budget. Instead she attacks the President.

so I guess she is.

I just avoid those links and google for the original story, cause 90% of the stuff there is recycled from somewhere else.
