14. She's not double-talking.
She's been consistently liberal, as I said. Look at her ratings from every major liberal action group out there. 100% on labor from most unions. 100% on abortion, women's issues, civil rights, peace, animal rights. Her voting record speaks for itself. There's no double-talking on it. She's a politician, she spins like anyone does. But she's been very consistent.

Check out her record on the war. Like many, she criticized Bush for not sending enough troops to be effective. So Newsmax reports "Hillary wants more troops in Iraq," and liberals, sadly, start calling her a warmonger. She then defends her IWR vote, saying, as she said at the time, that it was not a vote for war, but a vote to avoid war. (again, naive). NewsMax reports that Hillary has flip-flopped on the war. "First she supports it, then she calls for more troops, now she says she never supported it." Finally she admits that, knowing what she knows now, she wouldn't have voted for the IWR, but reiterates that her intention was to avoid war (as she's said from day one until now), NewsMax reports "Hillary changes opinion on IWR, says she should have voted against it."

This has been going on along. The Republicans know liberals better than liberals do. They know liberals eat their own. So they pour the salt on and slide the plate in front of us. And we never fail. They did that to Ann Richards in Texas, to Gore, to Kerry. Now to Hillary. Hopefully it will fail this time. Some have wised up. Just not enough.
