Go Hillary Go!!!!!

The New York Times (Free registration required), is reporting Senator Hillary Clinton castigated President Bush and Washington Republicans today as mad with power and bent on marginalizing Democrats during a speech to 1,000 supporters at her first major re-election fund-raiser, which netted about $250,000. [snip] "There has never been an administration, I don't believe in our history, more intent upon consolidating and abusing power to further their own agenda," Mrs. Clinton told the audience at a "Women for Hillary" gathering in Midtown Manhattan this morning. "I know it's frustrating for many of you; it's frustrating for me: Why can't the Democrats do more to stop them?" she continued to growing applause and cheers. "I can tell you this: It's very hard to stop people who have no shame about what they're doing. It is very hard to tell people that they are making decisions that will undermine our checks and balances and constitutional system of government who don't care. It is very hard to stop people who have never been acquainted with the truth." Senator Clinton went on to describe Republican leaders as messianic in their beliefs, saying they are willing to manipulate facts and try to gain an advantage over the Democrats even if the have to "destroy" the Senate in the process. Good for you Hillary, but better watch out it seems like Joe-the-jackass Biden and Pretty-boy John Edwards don't like it much when Democrats describe the Republicans accurately. Look how they jumped all over John Dean over the weekend for his comments. Referring to Congress' Republican leadership, she said: "Some honestly believe they are motivated by the truth, they are motivated by a higher calling, they are motivated by, I guess, a direct line to the heavens." She even managed to take a well deserved swipe at the media. "The press is missing in action, with all due respect," she said. "Where are the investigative reporters today? Why aren't they asking the hard questions? It's shocking when you see how easily they fold in the media today. They don't stand their ground. If they're criticized by the White House, they just fall apart. "I mean, c'mon, toughen up, guys, it's only our Constitution and country at stake," she said. "Let's get some spine." Referring to Bush's nomination of Janice Rogers Brown, a California Supreme Court Justice, for a federal appeals court seat, she said: "If you read about her, try not to get upset - I had to read about her and it kept me upset for months," Mrs. Clinton said of Judge Brown. "This is a woman who truly sees the world in 19th century terms. You know, during the Clinton administration, we used to talk about building a bridge to the 21st century. This administration wants to build a bridge to the 19th century. "They want to undo and turn the clock back on the progress of the 20th century, whether it's the right to organize, whether it's the right to be able to have a choice when it comes to the most private and intimate decisions that a woman has to make, whether it is to protect the environment." Wow!!!! Can you just imagine what a wonderful team Clinton and Dean would make on a Presidential ticket? No matter which was at the top of the ticket, they sure would give those self-centered ass-kissers from the other side a run for their money. And in the process, maybe they could knock a little sense into people like Biden and Edwards. I just love this woman's spunk and determination. She sure shows King George to be the wimp that he is. Combine that with her intelligence and brilliance on the issues important to the ordinary rank and file of the Democratic Party and in my opinion this woman is unbeatable.
