"All things in Moderation...

The ex-first lady has decided she is a MODERATE. She is reported to have discovered this startling fact following the last national election. Many in the press have known this for a long time, the New York Times, Newsweek, etc. Yet, there are some who linger to endorse her.

One such is DeRoy Murdock, who has been keeping score. It's those pest Senate votes that keep popping up like a popup on the computer. Well... his computer at least. In "The Journal Gazette he writes, ... "The American Conservative Union gave Clinton a zero for her 2004 Senate votes. ... For her 2004 Senate votes, the National Taxpayers Union gave Clinton an 11 percent rating -- an F.

There are some moderate Democrats; but the liberal leadership keep them on a short string. In fact, Did we hear correctly? "House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi may punish Democrats who supported CAFTA? The Wall Street Journal says in an editorial that House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi "is contemplating revenge against the 15 Democrats who had the nerve to vote for CAFTA. Rep. Pelosi "called a caucus gripe session in the wake of last Wednesday's vote, and an article in the Capitol Hill newspaper Roll Call suggested that Democrats who voted yes may lose their favorite committee assignments." This segment is from the RNC.

The question remains; will the moderate Democrats ever regain their party? They trusted Bill Clinton when he labled himself a moderate to win elections. Even when they learned that he and his ambitious wife were flaming liberals, to win elections, they continued to play along. That mistake has cost them dearly.

The plan is : move to the center to get elected; then grow big government, and rule the masses as an elite liberal. It worked for Bill, it will not work for Hillary.
