Hillary goes too far. again. Or is it 'as usual'?
By JT Thompson (12/16/05)
Hillary has announced she is cosponsoring a bill that would make defacing the flag a crime.
While losing more and more support, Hillary is trying to make that move that shows she's moderate. Of course she doesn't know when to quit, and once again she's blown the whole mess. Liberals won't like this. That goes without question. but now she stepped too far too the right. So much so that a lot of the republican party isn't happy about it either.
The problem with her 'new image' is not so much her views, it's the clarity of how transparent they are that's costing her so much support. It's to the point now that rarely does she do anything that even sounds sincere. This has cost her many supporters already, and the list is rapidly growing. Let's see how Al gore handles this latest move. He could create a lot more problems than he's been given credit for.
It's hard to believe someone that claims this much savvy would go to these extremes and obviously fake stances. It doesn't make sense. We'll watch her support fade even more as the next week progresses, but this move could have much longer implications than anyone thought. It seems that the fence sitters would surely be jumping away from her side.
