Shillary’s New Job
Posted by Raven on July 26th, 2005
Shillary has a new role. Well, it’s not really new but she wants everyone to see it that way. The cow is going to “direct” the Dem’s agenda. This ought to be a big book of BS. She is using this as a another step towards her desire to be President. Just the thought of that makes me want to puke. Damn we gotta do something to expose this COW for what she really is.
COLUMBUS, Ohio — The Democratic Leadership Council, an organization of influential party moderates, named Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton today to direct a new initiative to define a party agenda for the 2006 and 2008 elections.
The appointment solidified the identification of Clinton, once considered a champion of the party’s left, with the centrist movement that helped propel her husband to the White House in 1992. It also continued her effort, which has accelerated in recent months, to present herself as a moderate on issues such as national security, immigration and abortion.
She’s about as moderate as Barbara Bulldog Boxer. Shillary is using everything she can get her cold claws on to grasp her way through the doors of the White House.
Clinton assumed her role as head of the DLC’s “American Dream Initiative” at a meeting that drew three other centrist Democrats widely considered possible 2008 contenders and highlighted the maneuvering already underway for the next presidential race.
The American Dream Initiative?? With these asses running the country, there will no American left for anyone to dream about.
Despite the calls for unity from Clinton, Bayh and other speakers, the day underscored continuing divisions among Democrats about how to rebuild at a time when Republicans control the White House and both chambers of Congress.
The division bell has been ringing for the party of the people for a long time now…and it’s starting to come out of hiding.
While many liberal activists insist the party’s highest priority must be to block Bush’s initiatives, DLC officials universally argued that Democrats would not recover until they fill in their own agenda.

The proceedings also highlighted a fissure among centrist “New Democrats.” While the DLC recently endorsed the Central American Free Trade Agreement, Clinton voted against it in the Senate. Almost all House “New Democrats” are expected to oppose it when the lower chamber votes on the agreement this week. Several of the speakers sounded more skeptical notes toward free trade than were common among moderate Democrats in the 1990s.

Since Clinton left office, though, a broad array of liberal activists, many of them clustered around left-leaning websites like the Daily Kos, have accused the DLC of weakening the party by advocating positions, such as support for free trade or the Iraq war, that they say have blurred distinctions with the GOP.

David Sirota, a Democratic consultant who posts indefatigably on his own liberal web log, responded to the news of the “American Dream Initiative” Clinton is leading by warning that Democrats would be doomed to “permanent minority status” if they followed the DLC direction.

But the fierce remarks from Sirota — and only somewhat more muted criticism of liberal groups like MoveOn.org — show the challenge of devising a program that attracts broad support across the party.
Let the liberal activist groups continue to seethe and spit and slather up saliva…it’s about all the party can really do well these days. It’s the war of wisdom for the Dems…the older party poopers like Shillary really don’t speak for the younger wimp ass wussy’s who are afraid of their own shadows (nevermind doing something like defend the country…) They all deserve one another. I hope they don’t come together. Shillary would have to piss off too many people if she took up the goals and agenda of the MoveOn people….it’s a no win situation. For now anyway.
