Planting Her Flag: Hillary carefully positioning herself as a hawkish centrist

How proving that she is tougher than the boys could work for her in 2008. (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/8757144/site/newsweek/)

July 29 - Hillary Clinton wants to be the darling of the left and the candidate of the center, and why not? More than any other Democrat, save one—her husband—she knows what it takes to win, and she fully and completely comprehends the opposition.

Liberals went ballistic this week when Clinton called for a ceasefire among Democrats at a much ballyhooed appearance before the DLC, the centrist Democratic Leadership Council that helped elect her husband president. Clinton’s “Rodney King Moment,” is all about 2008, says a former John Kerry adviser: “What she’s saying is, ‘Why can’t we all get along and support me?’”

I'll know where Hillary can plant her flag!

Ditto that PH.

Hillary can lie and scheme and try to convince people that she has made the change, but that lie will only stretch so far. The far left is no problem, she has that crowd of lunatics right where she wants the. She wants the RINO's and they might believe her crap.

More than any other Democrat, save one—her husband—she knows what it takes to win, and she fully and completely comprehends the opposition. I try to word my posts with some degree of dignity and eloquence, but sometimes one must resort to the gutter to fully express one's opinion...

Having said that - Ms Clift is full of shit!

Apparently Ms Clift has conveniently forgotten how Bill Clinton's handlers had to eventually gag "Madame Mao" when they first crash-landed in the Whitehouse because of her STUPID, arrogant, and radical statements, threats and declarations...

Here ye, Here ye, and know this to be true... Hilary Clinton's recent moderate dance is without a doubt being choreographed by his Excellency Daddy Bill... He is, and has always been, the brains of that family - especially in the realm of politics... Bill is not a Leftist - not in the purest sense... He is political boss who operates from the left - A Democratic Hack... And as such he knows how the game is played...

She however is, and has always been, a hardcore Marxist - A Child of Lenin and Trotsky... And they are NOT politicians... They are slave masters... Political savvy is not part of their rationale... If left to her own devices she would be demanding that all private property (with the exception of that owned by the Leftist elite) be transferred to the government...

Her latest little middle-road performance is the brain child of Billy - his and his alone... She is incapable of playing the political game on her own... The only lesson she has learned is that if she wants to be an elected official she must dance how, when, and where Bill tells her to...

Politically, she is a dunce...

So says, Lazarus...

I agree with your analysis Laz. I've always said she's always known where her bread was buttered, and that's the reason she stood by her Billyboy.
