Former President Clinton, defending his senator-wife's statements on abortion, said Wednesday that Democrats are held to a double standard.

The comment came during remarks to Campus Progress, a left-leaning student group. He said young people in his party should speak directly to conservative voters.

He contended that Republicans have defined the abortion debate in a way that boxes in Democrats.

"So for example, if you're a Democrat and you have sort of normal impulses, you're a sellout, like when Hillary said abortion is a tragedy for virtually everybody who undergoes it, we ought to do all we can to reduce abortion," Clinton said.

"All of a sudden," he continued, the media began asking, "'Is she selling out? Is she abandoning her principles?' But if John McCain, who's pro-life, works with Hillary on global warming, he's a man of principle moving to the middle." "It's nuts," the former president said.

2. Hey Clinton... Ever Hear of the DSM, Rove/Plamegate?

Just wondering, because all the other shit I hear from you these days seems to be a distraction.

4. Also why has he been buddying up Daddy Bush a lot lately?

And for Gawd's sakes, people! Bill Clinton is not a LIBERAL!

3. This is why I have trouble stomaching a possible Hillary 08 run.

Democrats should stop looking to Republican-Lite presidential candidates. How many times should the Democrats lose in order to wake up and realize this DLC "let's go along to get along" on certain issues like abortion and war do not work? Bill also riled me a couple of years ago when he defended George W. Bush "Give the guy a break!" Aw shucks, Bill! Georgy Boy has had too many breaks during his supposed presidency. The Neocons never gave you one so why give them that courtesy?
