Having been on the inside you KNOW she knows what has really happened. Of course, the DNC is still stupid enough to think she can win in 2008 and wouldn't want her to do anything to jeopardize that...Hopefully, she is smarter than they are.

2. I admire Hilary, but I'm afraid
She's been drinking the "moderate" kool-aid. She won't stand up against election fraud. Nor will any other Democratic Senator as they seem to be content with becoming the Republican-Lite Party

5. How do we get that point across to them?
I live in a red state with two Republican Senators so any threats from me would be laughable to them.

A Big Push On Social Security
By Jim VandeHei
The Washington Post

Saturday 01 January 2005

Private accounts are Bush priority.
President Bush's political allies are raising millions of dollars for an election-style campaign to promote private Social Security accounts, as Democrats and Republicans prepare for what they predict will be the most expensive and extensive public policy debate since the 1993 fight over the Clinton administration's failed health care plan.

With Bush planning to unveil the details of his Social Security plan this month, several GOP groups close to the White House are asking the same donors who helped reelect Bush to fund an extensive campaign to convince Americans - and skeptical lawmakers - that Social Security is in crisis and that private accounts are the only cure.

Progress for America, an independent conservative group that backed Bush in the campaign, has set aside about $9 million to support the president's Social Security plan as well as other White House domestic priorities in the new year, said spokesman Brian McCabe. The group is asking its donors for much more, he said.

Stephen Moore, head of the conservative Club for Growth, has raised $1.5 million and hopes to hit a $15 million target when his fundraising drive ends.

regarding the election... I'm still crossing my fingers.

10. she won't because it will jeopardize her corporate contributions. . .
the corporatocracy doesn't look kindly on Senators or Congresspersons who assist democracy in rearing its ugly head . . . it jeopardizes their current near complete control of everything, and that's not something they will tolerate . . . any senator who stands with Conyers will lose much of their corporate support, which means $$$$ . . . and in Washington, $$$$ talk louder than mundane things like democracy and ethics and such . . .

11. I'd be shocked if Hillary was one who stood up. It would be frigging
amazing if she did, but I'd be shocked.

12. I would be shocked, too....
When she didn't take a stand against the war, I lost faith in her. There have been other times when I've gone to her website to see if she's taking a stand on some issue that concerns me, and I notice that she is silent -- or going to the middle. If she runs for President, I will vote for her, but only because I want Bill to be back in the WH.
