Hillary Agrees to meet with Cindy Sheehan

Being that Hillary was an anti-war protester back in college, it should be interesting to see how she pulls herself out of the extreme leftist rhetoric of Cindy Sheehan.

Ms. Clinton will NOT prevail the DNC appears to think flip-flopping the issues will gain partisanship across the lib/mod/left/center - never happen. It just exposes them for not having any original thoughts.

Big advice for the Clintonistas - do NOT perpetuate the Cindy Sheehan circus by meeting with her for any reason. Any capitulation on her or McCain’s part to this nutbag - automatic disqualification from the 2008 race.

Yeah right, Hillary Clinton against a nuke-filled Islamic-fascist state called Iran(all thanks to the EU and the UN)

She’d probably give Iran MORE weapons (like her hushand did for North Korea) just to get massive politcal campaign funds.

Thanks for the response to my post. I had come to largely the conclusion you had. It is true that the left contributes most of the money to the Democrats. If the Democrats want to win elections, in the short run, they don’t need the far left. If they abandon the far left, they will pick up support from independents and money will come in from elsewhere. They will not jettison the far left. I suspect they will not do this because they are anti-American leftists at heart. Until the Democrats distance themselves from the far left, it seems to me the only way they will be able to win elections is if one or more of the following happens: 1.) The economy completely fails. 2.)Iraq completely falls apart. 3.)There is another terrorist attack on American soil. The far left elements understand this and are actively working to try and make these things happen. They are truly revolting.

Sorry B.Poster, but the Democrats will NOT jettison the far left because it is from them, Soros and company, that they get most of their campaign funds. In the previous Bill Clinton elections, it was the Hollywood crowd, leftist business associates and other radical organizations that furnished most of his election monies. In politics, money talks everything else walks.

Very good analysis. I had come to much the same conclusion. If Hillary and other Democrats would simply jettison the far left from their midst, she and the other Democrats would easily walk into power. If the Democrats would have simply denounced the far left elements in their midst and rebuked them, John Kerry would be the President and the Democrats would likely control both the House and the Senate. For some reason they won’t jettison the far left from their midst. This is either because: 1.)At heart they are far leftists, such as the groups who support Cindy Sheehan and they recognize that to openly appeal to the far left will will turn off the independent voters and they will lose elections so they must throw a few bones to the center even though they actually agree with the anti-American far left postion. 2.) They are actually centerists at heart but they recognize that in order to win elections they must keep the anti-American left in the fold. I think # 1 is more likely. The Democrats don’t need the far left to win an election. If they would simply denounce this group and distance themselves from them, they would get the independent vote and the Republicans would be history. The fact that Hillary and the Democras will not do this indicates to me that they actually support far leftists such as Cindy Sheehan and Michael Moore and their agenda. The Democrats need to maintain credibility. Openly supporting the far left will lead to a loss of credibility, as far left positions are easily refuteable to anyone willing to do the research.

As I have said before, either Rudy Giulani or John McCaon will be the Republican nominee for 2008. Before the fiasco that was the Governmental response to Hurricane Katrina I would have said it was a toss up between Giulani and McCain. Given Guilani’s successful response to 911, I think the nomination goes to Giulani unless he does not want it. The race is between Giulani and McCain all other Republicans need not apply. While Hillary’s political strategy has been brilliant, perhaps the most brilliant strategy of all has been that carried out by the Republicans. The Republicans get the Democrats and the Democrat allies in the main stream news media to attack “Conservatives”, “Neo-Conservatives”, and the “Religous Right,” The afore mentioned groups have very little power in the Republican party. This only strengthens Rudy Giuliani and John McCain who actually represent the Republcian party.
