HuffPo Exclusive: Secret Memo Reveals Hillary's Red State Strategy for '08

Hillary Clinton's attempt to rebrand herself as a red state friendly DLC Democrat -- Bush on Brains -- continues with her decision to sign on as a co-sponsor of the Flag Protection Act, which makes it illegal to desecrate the American flag. It's stars, stripes, and triangulation. But, according to a top secret strategy memo leaked to the Huffington Post by a senior (and wholly fictional) Clinton official, this is only the beginning.

RE: BUILDING ON FLAG BURNING SUCCESS

Good news. Our internal polling is going through the roof over HRC's signing on to Bennett's flag burning bill. Our focus group feedback shows it's the perfect have-it-both-ways positioning. We get to be pro-flag and anti-constitutional ban at the same time. Moderate Dems can embrace this as the lesser of two evils; Red Staters just know that we support Old Glory. Sure, we're getting some blowback from the lefty blogs...but that actually helps up our Red state street cred. Messaging suggestion: HRC might want to lay off the flag burning/cross burning comparisons (even NASCAR dads don't equate flag burning protestors with the KKK).

HRCRSSCT recommends that we continue to push the envelope with our Phase Two rollout. Here are the top ideas we discussed at our last meeting. Feedback and progress reports welcome.

its like a state religion.

Under any circumstances whatsoever!

There's bound to be somebody else on my ballot...or I'll write somebody in!

is positioning herself to the right -- and it's funny! (But you might edit to indicate that it's not a real memo.)

Pick me, pick me :hi::hi::hi:

Defense of Marriage Act (the Sequel)

HRC proposes amendment to Defense of Marriage Act making it mandatory for gays to marry... but only heterosexuals. It might even play both ways: she's pro-gay marriage (indeed, it's compulsory), but anti gays marrying gays. Insert language into HRC speech, something like "I know this can work, and I speak as someone with experience in troubled marriages." Bonus: anytime HRC talks about her marriage her "sympathetic" numbers spike. Any chance HRC and BC could pull a Huckabee and re-state vows in a covenant marriage?

The DLC....perpetual losers.

I think i especially loved the seq. of the Hillary's Angels motocycle club endorsement. really funny stuff.. :rofl:

that we really don't know how close she may be to some of those issues . . .

"expedience" and "opportunism" . . . words to live by for some Dems, but thoroughly inadequate for addressing the overwhelming challenges we face as a society, a nation, and a planet . . .

it's time to tell the truth, and not worry about the political ramifications . . . the situation is just too dire to continue playing political games . . . most Americans (crazies excluded) want the truth, can handle the truth, and will support those telling the truth . . .

"Post by a senior (and wholly fictional) Clinton official," tells me something is screwy here.
