quote: In her speech Sunday, she accused the president of damaging the economy by overspending while giving tax cuts to the rich, depriving U.S. soldiers of equipment needed to fight the war in Iraq and cutting funds for scientific research.
quote: "Hillary Clinton's opportunistic attempt to market herself as a centrist is like a wolf dressing up in sheep's clothing," said RNC spokeswoman Tracey Schmitt. "Such thinly veiled rhetoric doesn't change the fact she is part of today's angry and adrift Democrat Party."
Accusing Hillary of thinly veiled rhetoric is rich coming from anyone on the Republican party. Their leader has made thinly veiled rhetoric into an artform.
Aren't the issues she is bringing up really valid ones though? Increased spending while lowering taxes is a valid question to be brought up. The budgetary crisis is looming and she wants to address it, the President doesn't seem to care, so she is calling him on it.
It's also annoying to see them automatically painting any Democrat as evil incarnate just for being a Democrat, and paying no attention to the person's record. As if the D word is all it takes to doom someone, and for that matter, it's all you should need to know about someone to judge them.
For that matter, the Democrats are angry for good reason. They think their country is going to crap and they want to fix it. For once, they aren't so much adrift, they are getting back on track.

Probably because of ho9w much "her" helathcare plan would have cost....lol...
Still, I love it when they duck all the problems that were mentioned, and attack the person making the statement...it just goes to show that they don't have an answer to any or it, or at least they won't until someone tells them what to say. .

Yes, that would have cost an obscene amount of money. But no more than we are currently spending on other things.

No, anyone in the country can say anything they want, but they risk being tagged with their own previous words, thus damaging the importance their words might carry.
I was simply pointing out the extremely obvious irony.
Republicans paint Democrats as angry and confused based on Dean's comments, is it really out of bounds to do the same thing back to the Republicans?
And hey, political spin is a national hobby these days. I'm just playing along.
