Neocons for Hillary? National Review's Rich Lowry: HRC is the "adult supervision" among Democrats

== The Democrats have schizophrenia on the question. On the one hand, they argue that President Bush has inflated the terror threat to make us accept fascistic restrictions on our liberties; on the other, they say that he hasn't made us safer (safer from what? one wonders, if the terror threat is so exaggerated). In the recent Democratic debate, Hillary Clinton stood alone in maintaining we're safer since 9/11, demonstrating that -- whatever her flaws -- she's the adult supervision in the Democratic field.==

I saw this posted in another thread but having a right-wing slimeball like Lowry praise a Dem candidate warrants a thread of its own IMO.

1. Oh, the neocons like her. I've seen them praising her on tv. And on

some articles awhile ago. not regular republicans but, the true neocons love her.

2. Depends on which audience Hillary speaks in front of what falls out of her mouth.

2 weeks before the Democratic debate she told fundraisers "We're no safer now than we were in 2001 when we were attacked on September 11th."

And she got a huge round of applause when she said it.

3. Thanks for sharing that. I didn't know about that! Very damning of her nt

:toast:

6. That's pretty bad; do you have a link?

4. They're just like Murdoch - they want her to get the nomination . . .

At which point, the media bullshit buzz saw we've seen in operation for the past eight years will rev up once again, with RPMs higher than we even knew possible.

The lies will flow like the Mississippi and the chortling clowns of the Beltway will all lend a hand in the biggest and most expensive smear campaign in the history of American politics.

NRO and AEI and the Federalist Society and all the rest of the assclowns will stop at nothing - nothing - to win in 2008, and with Hillary they'll have the advantage of a pre-existing "hate base", all lathered up and ready to go and hate them some Clinton.

5. "adult" apparently means

"the one who will allow the corporations to continue running roughshod over the country"

[IndyOp]

8. You could be right - I think it also means:

"Adult" = "Will maintain the oh-so-profitable military-industrial-congressional-white house complex"

:puke:

7. How long before Holy Joe himself endorses her? Ed Koch is already on the HRC train nt

9. They like her, they hate her, they like her, they hate her

One thing's for sure - they're focussed like a laser on her for some strange reason.

She's like a small shiny object.

10. They must love Hillary

I remember how passionately they tried to punish her husband for cheating on her.

Wait...that wasn't their motivation?

11. Of COURSE NeoCons for Hillary -- she's a DLCer

DLC is the NeoCon branch of the Dem Party -- or, probably more accurately, the GOP branch.
