WASHINGTON — Trying to win over her party’s liberal activists, Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton on Wednesday accused President Bush of disregarding the Constitution and promised to bring a new progressive vision to the White House.
Bush’s government has “a stunning record of secrecy and corruption, of cronyism run amok,” she said in one of the more partisan speeches of her campaign. “It is everything our founders were afraid of, everything our Constitution was designed to prevent.”
Clinton returned to the Take Back America conference where she was booed last year for opposing a set date for pulling U.S. troops from Iraq. This time, she said she is working to deauthorize the war.
Her comments on Iraq at the end of her 30-minute speech drew heckles, but she also won applause for promising to get out of Iraq and for embracing liberal positions on domestic issues such as health care, worker rights, education and stem cell research.
It remains worrisom that Murdoch was going to assist her in a fund raiser. That, and her support for the invasion which may not have completely subsided. All indications point to her being a globalist and in my opinion globalism is immiscible in the Republic, just like NAFTA tends to be.
Clinton will have to prove her allegiance to the Constitution and an absolute support for the Republic before I would endorse her candidacy. That means her focus must come home and stay there.

Well, she got that right but we’ve known that for a long time…
Yes we have, Suzie, but it’s encouraging that members of Congress are now finally stating it.
Well…One thing that I can say for Hillery is that she is becoming more of a politician, but the same can be said for Obama. Either one would be a strange bedfellow. What am I saying? I mean…hypothetically…);
