As always, context helps.

I smell something burning, hope it's just my brains.
They're only dropping peppermints and daisy-chains
   So stuff my nose with garlic
   Coat my eyes with butter
   Fill my ears with silver
   Stick my legs in plaster
   Tell me lies about Vietnam.

lol...but it DID get your heart a moving there, if briefly.

Seriously, Hillary Clinton, if she followed her husband's centrist policies, it wouldn't be a bad deal. Gotta do something about outsourcibg, for example. In Europe, they control it by protectionist policies and the average European reduces his/her standard of living to afford European products.

Even though I cannot remember when I last voted for a Republican for Prez, I am still apparently more conservative than many here on social issues.

Actually, I last voted for Ronald Reagan, TWICE, and would do it again. A real leader!

Since then however, I have voted Democrat. Probably will do so again.

Bet you have rarely heard of that scenario. What does that make me, a Reagan Democrat?   :D

Not really. I've seen it before, plus Marx wouldn't have said much of that. It shows a real poor understanding of Marxism.

OK.

Ah...that's debatable.

You bet incorrectly. I'm a Southerner too. Switching between parties is not so uncommon here as the two parties are so very close on just about everything.

Perhaps why Zell Miller was so popular in Georgia?

Be afraid.  Be very, very afraid and vote



If she goes all the way in the primary, she will win the general.

I have no idea why you are so worried.  She has no plans for changing the corporate swagger, so that makes her a player both can live with. 

Like Biden, Kerry, Dowd, et al, Hillary is a member of the Joe Lieberman Club.

Both those on the rabid right and on the arcane left will be dissappointed, the first out of Mesmer and the latter out of fond recall.   She is not worried about the rabid right, as she as well as other pols realize they now define themselves with their every yahoo hip shot, and that's a spiral downward these days.  It is why the msm wonders that the Republicans are now dysfunctional--like a diver who went down and is coming up, not yet breaking surface.

She is more keen with anticipation with those she will dissappoint on the left.  But that will pass completely once the Nafta twins regain the White House rooms.

Picture the corporate operation as a funnel upside down; it has two hoses, one to each party.  One is fat, the other thin. 

They will simply switch hoses again.

I am not worried. Like I said, I have not voted Republicna since Reagan.

I liked her husband's fiscal policies.

But, they are too far left regarding many social issues.

Then again, no candidate is perfect.

At least she is not as boring as Kerry. I held my nose on that one.
