Isn't that a bit journalistically unsound, having someone employed by a candidate write a glowing piece about that candidate on your op/ed page but then not mentioning the author's association to the candidate? The deadwood press sure screams up a storm about bloggers who have any hint of conflict, yet they give those like Carville, who are obviously conflicted, a forum. Nothing hypocritical there, just move along folks...<BR/> <BR/>As for Hillary in general, if she wins the nomination she's going to get her clock cleaned in the general election. The right has been salivating for her to run since 2000; Hillary is their Democratic dream candidate. She doesn't have enough charisma to counter all of the outrageous attacks that are flung her way. The Swift Boat lies helped capsize Kerry's campaign and that was small potatoes compared to the shit the right will throw at Hillary. 2008 will be a slaughterfest of epic proportions if she wins the primary.<BR/><BR/>But suppose she actually does become president. What happens then? In the last email I got from her campaign, Hillary promised universal health care, the end of the war in Iraq, etc.. I read it and kinda went, "Uhm, what?" Here's what would happen if Hillary is elected president: Congress shifts back to the Republicans in 2010 and government stops until Hillary leaves office, either by defeat in 2012 or impeachment thereafter. These people went insane when Bill was president; crazy enough to spend %60 million looking for a fucking blowjob. Anybody who thinks that a Hillary administration would be less of a circus needs to check themself into a mental institution. <BR/><BR/>If Hillary actually cared about her country she would drop out of the presidential race immediately. She's much too polarizing to become an effective president.tashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14296761263276891805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22468479.post-16844515030505542842007-04-01T10:17:00.000-04:002007-04-01T10:17:00.000-04:00It is cynical.

I'm not 'anyone but hillary' but almost.<BR/><BR/>It's cool that you and I disagree a bit on individual pols but in general, I still concur with most everything you say. You have rather quickly become one of my top five voices to read. And, again ... I've found many stellar voices through you. Thanks.<BR/><BR/>Enjoy your day.<BR/><BR/>These Democrats trip on themselves when they support anti-flag burning. While I wouldn't like to see the flag burning --- I'd like to see that everyone knows that is the highest expression of freedom if one desires to do so.<BR/><BR/>Anything else is a step towards oppression. But those we pay to uphold the constitution should KNOW this without me telling them.<BR/>Hillary has support from the big-money South Tampa people. Some happen to be women. Some are ... Steinbrenner, etc.. very NY connects. When she was here I was noting the comings and goings. I'm not impressed. <BR/>Edwards inspires me more. Hillary -- been down that road.
