A suggestion for Senator Clinton's theme song:
"Both Sides Now" by Joni Mitchell

The clip should be this:

"...I've looked at life from both sides now
from win and lose and still somehow
it's life's illusions I recall
I really don't know life at all..."

Considering how she's able to be simultaneously on both sides of so many issues, it just seems like fair consumer labeling: she's on both sides, and she's on 'em at the same time.

She also focuses on the hype as if it's fact, like the assertions that she's been a tireless fighter against the right, that she's always been for individuals in the struggle between big money and small people and that she's been clear and consistent. Truly, it's life's illusions she recalls, and somehow many are suckered along with her misapprehension.

The manic fixation on "win and lose" doesn't even need to be addressed.

Okay, it's actually quite an inappropriate song, since the song itself is one of self-awareness of one's own limitations; this is not something Senator Clinton is that in sync with.

Then again, Bush Sr. used "Don't Worry, be Happy", and HE certainly didn't get THAT one...

7. She certainly has been consistent on supporting WAR in the ME.
Now, Hillary is going to "End the War in Iraq" and "Bring the Troops Home" by keeping combat troop in Iraq indefinitely, fighting "AlQaeda in Iraq" (whoever they decide that is), and use Combat Troops to protect "American (Corporate?) Interests" in Iraq (whatever they decide that is). :shrug:

Can you unspin this for me? This logic and consistency is way over my head.

I think I prefer someone who can change their mind and admit they were wrong, but to each their own.


"There are forces within the Democratic Party who want us to sound like kinder, gentler Republicans. I want us to compete for that great mass of voters that want a party that will stand up for working Americans, family farmers, and people who haven't felt the benefits of the economic upturn."---Paul Wellstone

12. OMFG...What is Hillary doing playing the gender card !?!
The Boys Club?

All day on the cable newsies,..."Waaa, poor Hillary, they're picking on her, piling on her..." though Pat Buchanan supports her. :silly:

Not ONE person today (on cable news) has mentioned the substance of the pile on...which I think she deserved. Many questions still unanswered :(

Go Dems, but don't make Hillary our candidate, the GOP has their bigger guns cocked (pun intended), and waiting.....:cry:
