Hillary Clinton vows to return to business-as-usual style of government

Woohoo. :eyes:

Democrats need to get this: The Republicans, after nearly 30 years of their fucked up vision and abuse of power, have given up the right to advise and consent anybody on how to govern.

No more bipartisanship! Send Republicans to the wilderness for 40 years where they belong. Maybe they'll return a little wiser.

She said she has begun to attract support from contributors and voters who may have been skeptical of her in the past. Criticizing Bush, she said he has pursued a "50-plus-one" strategy "instead of saying, 'You know what -- there may be some people we will lose if we reach out' " to create a broader coalition.

"That's what I intend to do," she said. "I intend to win in November 2008, and then I intend to build a centrist coalition in this country that is like what I remember when I was growing up."

On Social Security, Clinton declined to say whether she would support reduced benefits or increased taxes to ensure the system's long-term solvency.

She said she would follow President Ronald Reagan's example by appointing a bipartisan commission to study the issue and avoid making her own recommendations until it reports back.

"I'm not advocating any of it as a presidential candidate or as a president," she said. "But I am strongly advocating a bipartisan process, similar to what we had in '83, and when that gets set up, as I hope it will be when I'm president, then I'm going to see what the bipartisan members are going to come up with."

...

...after eight years of right-wing extremism, is to elect a Democrat whose only vision is to "build a centrist coalition." :puke:

I didn't work for Democrats solely so we could replace the neocons with the DLC. :grr:

But then neither does a plurality of Democrats, apparently. :wtf:

the bush clinton dynasty continues.

If she really believes the Reagan years were "bi-partisan"...

:eyes:

and her formative years as an adult, she was a republican, a "Goldwater girl."

Small wonder.

The constitution is so easy to follow, and human dignity should be an instinct.. Decide by the poll and the money.. so wrong for America..
