i don't know if it will do a damned bit of good but here goes: i am supporting jonathan tasini for senate in 2006. i looked at his platform and it didn't look status quo. i am not saying that i disregard the good things that hillary clinton has done for upstate- because i am not. i don't agree with her pro-war, pro-israel no matter what stance and i think that for any real change to occur in this country- we have to start voting first- and voting incumbants out second. so all of you folks in new york- check out tasini and vote your conscience. in connecticut- check out lamont- and vote your conscience. if we all started excercising our right to vote- there wouldn't be a silent majority in america.

Doesn't sound like Hilary is much of an eventual Presidential prospect.
Her positions you mention sound like an attempt to be a very conservative Democrat - thus indistinguishable from an average Republican.

thanks daniel. yes, i do like spitzer and i will most likely vote for him. i actually wish that he was staying in the ag role instead but i am not enamored with suozzi at all. it might be the upstater in me- i just don't like his platform. i don't know much about california politics but it does look like arnold has backed off a bit on the hardline approach. we need a return to moderation. i don't dislike republicans- i dislike hard right neo conservatives and hard right conservatives. i don't dislike democrats but i am sick of the hard left making it difficult to bridge gaps and meet on common ground with the repubs. we are in a fight for america against radicals on both sides- and the only way to make things better is to fight for the moderates.
i think that it is fantastic, daniel, that you and t.l. think i am a liberal. :) i think of myself as a moderate democrat bordering on independent. just shows difference in perspective. :) i make my decisions based on my own life experiences and what common sense i have.
Betmo,
Nice post my friend. I see you have someone calling you names... :>) I get that a lot.
Hillary AND Bill Clinton are not liberal Democrats; he's a Moderate, and she's always been a bit more Conservative than Bill. Bill had the advantage of being more charismatic than Hillary; she is a hard-as-nails woman, who comes off as soul-less.
Some of her positions are good; some are just wrong. Her support of the war is really wrong. She is NOT as Conservative as Joe Lieberman in Connecticut, who is more of a Republican than he is Democrat.
