Hillary has no position
Sen. Hillary Clinton is still all over the map looking to find her support base in the 2008 election.
First she sites that we (the current administration) was not unillaterial enough on its actions with Iraq. Then she speaks out of the other side of her mouth concearning Iran. That we need to be forth right and strong in our position as world leader with despots like the President of Iran.
Depending on who Hillary is speaking in front of determines what her polocies will be. First she favors a strong United Nations, the next she supports more U.N. authority over the United States.
If she speaks in front of a hispanic organization, it all about an open and free boarder, then she talks about how this administration has done nothing to secure the boarder. What does she mean, an open free boarder yet secure?
Now the democratic left ... Sen Kennedy and Kerry, are calling for a fillerbuster of judicial nominee Alito. This grandstanding is nothing more then political postering trying to appeal to a small centralized power base of leftists.
Hil's for filibuster
Takes rebel stand to oppose Alito OK for Supremes

WASHINGTON - Sen. Hillary Clinton yesterday backed a rebel band of Senate Dems seeking to filibuster a vote on the Supreme Court nomination of Judge Samuel Alito.
Democratic leaders had warned that filibuster efforts were going nowhere and would let President Bush score easy political points, but Clinton said, "I oppose his nomination and support efforts to block his confirmation."
"I do not think Judge Alito would advance the principles Americans hold most dear," she said, adding she would vote against a move to cut off a filibuster should one occur.
Any senator can filibuster - or command the floor to block a vote. It takes 60 votes to invoke cloture to end a filibuster.
Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) made it clear earlier in the day that the party didn't have the votes to defeat a cloture vote, so a filibuster was doomed to failure.
Nevertheless, Sens. John Kerry (D-Mass.) and Ted Kennedy (D-Mass.) have pushed for a filibuster, a move that delights Republicans.
"If the Democratic left does a filibuster led by Kerry, that's found money for us," a top GOP official said.
The filibuster tactic could have repercussions for Clinton. Her move is bound to be seen as an appeal to the liberal base that dominates the Democratic presidential primaries, following several Senate votes that could be seen as attempts to move to the center.
In an interview on the "CBS Evening News," Bush said of Clinton's 2008 chances, "She's formidable."
A spokesman for Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) said he had made no decision on a filibuster and declined comment on Clinton's move.
THERE IS NOTHING IN ALITO'S BACKGROUND THAT SHOULD OR DOES DISQUALIFY HIM FROM SERVICE ON THE SUPREME COURT. THE PROBLEM THE LIBERALS HAVE WITH HIM IS THAT HE SEES THE LAW AS THE LAW AND NOT A RULE OF EMOTION FROM THE HEART.
FOR THOSE WHO SUPPORT HILLARY YOU NEED TO LOOK DEEP AND LONG AT HOW SHE CAN NOT DECIDE WHAT SIDE OF THE FENCE SHE BELONGS TO. DO YOU REALLY WANT A WISHY WASHY CANDIDATE LIKE HER. THEN GOD FORBID SOMEONE WHO SITS IN THE MOST POWERFUL SEAT IN THE WORLD TO BE WISHY WASHY BOTH DOMESTIC AND IN FORIEGN POLOCY?
