Hillary is all-in
It is so amusing to watch Hillary Clinton trying to find her place in the Dummycrat’s Party. For the longest time she has been side-stepping slowly and carefully to the right (the center to some) just to see if she could attract new voters, should she decide to run for President. The mainstream press has always been behind her but she knew from the beginning that it would be a tough presidential race.
She recently learned that despite the media’s friendly reporting, the American people do not intend to vote for her in 2008. She must have been crushed! Maybe that explains why she’s running back to her buddies on the far left. It’s much safer there, she might think.
It might also explain her sudden support to filibuster the Alito nomination. Like a bad poker player with nothing to show for, she’s all-in. It’s so easy to call her bluff and everybody but her knows she will be completely broke very soon. But I’m sure the mainstream press will be more than happy to let her borrow more “political capital” for another nice round of suicide-poker.
I’ve never witnessed a filibuster before and it excites me to know that if the Dummycrats should really decide to go through with this, it would probably be one of the most spectacular filibusters ever. Ok, I missed the Bush-Merkel meeting, but I certainly won’t miss this one!
Alito is a done deed, the Democrats are just lining up to voice their opposition so that when Alito casts the deciding vote to kill Roe vs. Wade or further gut the First Amendment, they can say “See, I was against him from the start!”
