HILLARY CLINTON TO SUPPORT BUSH COURT NOMINEE **Exclusive** Senator Hillary Clinton has confided to associates that she intends to vote FOR Bush Supreme Court nominee John Roberts, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned. Unless some unforeseen development occurs around Roberts, Clinton will throw her support behind confirmation, says a top source. "Look, we're not thrilled President Bush is in office and gets to make these choices," said a top Hillary source, "but we have to make the best of the situation until the next election!" With her support of Roberts, Clinton ignores pressure from the reactionary-activist wing of the Democrat party. "She is simply doing what is right for the country, not MOVEON.ORG," the Clinton insider explained.

1. I wouldn't believe all you hear...especially from sludge

[HockeyMom]

2. Well, not what she said to me

Unfortunately, I didn't save her email. I will have to see if I can "dig it up" again.

4. whattsa mattah?

You don't believe a self loathing gay republican scum sucking toady and what he writes on his website?

[johnfunk]

27. Yeah, right, Mattie-Ann. And Sid Blumenthal beat his wife...

If it's a Drudge Report scoop, it cannot be believed!

3. Bush could tell Hilllary to jump and she would say how high??

Hillary just doesn't want to make any waves thats for darn sure!!!

what does Boxer say??

[Southsideirish]

5. She's only a 66% Democrat anyway.

6. nobody can, or will, fight.

this is sad but so over. Let us move on to fighting for states to secure reproductive rights to protect against the coming reversal of Roe. Please, folks, embrace reality! We have to move beyond and plan our strategy at the state level. We just can't sit and stew over this nomination; we have to plan our next defense! Come on, everybody, get over the SP thing and get on with the real business at hand! Women's lives are in the balance!

[ovidsen]

14. Agreed.

I do NOT like Roberts, but under the circumstances, * could have chosen a far worse Scotus wannabe.

Think long term. Like the 2006 elections.

PICK YOUR BATTLES!

On edit: If you live in NYS, by all means tell Hillary how you feel, and vote against her if she decides to support Roberts.

[ruggerson]

18. So if she supports Roberts, you'll vote for a Republican over her

uhh... sure... makes sense to me...
:crazy:

[GraysonDave]

21. Surely he means in the primary

But I'm not sure that would be smart either.

[ruggerson]

22. You never know around here

7. If this is true....she can kiss my vote for her in 2006 Good bye!!!!

She is my Senator,I'm already mad that she voted for the Iraqi War Resolution back in 2002, and I'm not really a big fan of her's, personally I feel that My Rep. in the House, Maurice Hinchey is way better than her and Chuck, is much more progessive than both of them, and should be a Senator. If is true...I'll vote for a third party candidate, I don't care...I hate it when a woman sells out to an anti-choice SOB for votes from some anti-choice freaks... :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :grr: :grr: :grr: :grr: :grr: :grr: :grr: :grr: :grr: :grr: :grr: :grr: :grr: :grr: :grr: :argh: :argh: :argh: :argh: :argh: :argh: :argh: :argh: :argh: :argh: :argh:

8. "What is right for the country"?

Yeah, it's "right" all right. right-wing. With robert's bush has a stepford who will be doing their bidding ..not the bidding of the Constitution or the American People.

Will hillary Ever learn? She was wrong on the IWR and a few other votes for the bush agenda and she's WRONG on this.

[Ksec]

9. Hillary has become very unpopular in the Dem party

And the way the repigs hate her she doesnt stand a chance.

[teach1st]

10. Oh, for pete's sake...

I'm not a friend of Hillary, but I can't believe people are getting so worked up over a Drudge headline. He's too wrong, too often.

Wait for a better source, and if it's true, then start yelling.

[fujiyama]

11. I wouldn't be surprised if he's right this time

but then again it is Drudge, so I wouldn't place any credibility with him.

[Imagevision]

12. Isn't "Sludge" basically the same shit as Novak?!!

[jsamuel]

13. No vote from me for Hilary in 2008, if she does run

Someone with the letter K...

[Warren DeMontague]

15. Wow. I guess she was just whistling out of her ass

when she spoke at the Pro-Choice march last year.

I mean, a woman's right to choose is important, right Hil?.. but not nearly as important as, say, grandstanding around video games in a bald-faced act of political posturing...

[rfkrfk]

16. this could be fake, don't believe everything you read, n/t

[usregimechange]

17. BS doing what is wrong for Americans, I will never vote for her

[MrSlayer]

19. Well the source is questionable.

But it wouldn't surprise me if she was going to support the bastard before he even gets asked anything. The thing I dislike most about her is the willingness to just blow in the political winds and do what is most expedient. I wish would could just erase the lot of them and start over.

[GraysonDave]

20. HIllary is extremely smart

The confirmation is pretty much a foregone conclusion. There is no reason to galvanize the right against her. She is successfully positioning herself as a moderate to get elected in '08. Then she can swerve back to the left. She knows exactly what she's doing.

[teach1st]

23. Many of my...

...far right friends have the same opinion.

[ruggerson]

24. Indeed

And they're scared to death of her:

25. I don't often agree with those on the far right

But in this case I think I do. Even though it bothers folks on this site, I think it is the correct strategy to get elected. We can debate whether she needs to "sell-out" or not to get elected. Bottom line is I think it's the ONLY way she'll end up in the White House again. I'd put her odds at 55-60% to win the presidency right now, all because of her actions over the past year.

26. Bill was smart too - I recall him saying that Saddam would use wmd's

on the US. supporting Bush to lead up to war. - But Bill too was wrong about the freegin WMD's BS. Bill has a way with words and is an excellant con-man period!
