Tomorrow’s Neocon Today - a Look at Hillary Clinton

“The problem with Hillary Clinton is two-fold: First, she’s likely to be as bad or worse than Bush on all of those issues, and second, she’s the one Democrat the Republicans still have a chance to beat.”…

“Start with Clinton’s general election vulnerabilities. No Democrat inspires more wrath and anger on the right than Hillary Clinton. This isn’t because of her policy positions—on most issues, she’s really not all that far removed from President Bush. It’s leftover partisan anger from the Bill Clinton years.”…

“Then there is Hillary Clinton on the issues. Cato Institute President Ed Crane recently wrote a piece for the Financial Times pointing out that when you strip away the partisan coating, Mrs. Clinton’s grandiose, big-government vision is really no different than that envisioned by the neoconservatives so loathed by the left. Clinton, remember, not only voted for the Iraq war, she still hasn’t conceded she was wrong to do so, and has made no promise to end it any time soon.”
