Hillary Clinton Booed by Liberal Crowd

Posted on Jun 13, 2006

The senator from New York starts to see the downside of never finding an issue she couldn’t straddle.

AP via Forbes:

A liberal crowd both booed and cheered Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton Tuesday after she encouraged Democrats to have a “difficult conversation” about their position on the Iraq war in order to win over middle-of-the-road voters.

Clinton’s attempt to strike a moderate stance on the divisive issue of the war contrasted sharply with the angry words of another potential presidential contender, Sen. John Kerry, the party’s 2004 standard-bearer, who called the war “immoral” and a “quagmire.”

At a speech before a liberal gathering dubbed “Take Back America,” the New York senator took grief from those in the audience critical of her vote for the Iraq war and her opposition to an immediate withdrawal of U.S. troops.

As much as I loathe and detest fundamentalism and neo-conservative small-mindedness of any stripe, I must admit that it’s preferable to be governed by those whose politics are known than by those whose principles are guided by lobbyists and polls.

Say what you will about Kerry… you must give him credit for speaking his mind and for taking a position and sticking to it. I don’t see that in Hillary… all I see is slick, cunning, sleazy plotting to tell anyone what they want to hear.

Even though I’m almost 100% opposed to the values and views of GWB, I’d rather see him elected President for Life than have someone with the principles of an alley cat in the job.

Maybe we can all cheer our way back to another republican-lite administration in 08.

...Poor Hillary, I’ll bet the ghost of Eleanor Roosevelt’s been workin’ overtime lately.
