Well, that's where the article was. If it has been published in Salon, I"m sure JW would have posted it anyway.

Quote:I would definitely vote for Hillary Clinton.
She appears to understand that the majority of citizens are moderates and abhor extremism. If she starts early enough -- inventing her own anti-extremism buzz phrases to catch the attention of the SHEEP -- I'm sure most of them would choose to graze on her side of the pasture rather than graze with the extremists.
Extremists: The hypocritical, self-ordained "people of faith" who are now ranting and raving because the rest of us don't want to dine on their less than benevolent, self-serving message of exclusion and oppression.
Hillary is already catering to the Religious Right. Excerpted from report of April 8, 2005 speech:
"Those of us who are people of faith are so aware of what that means in our lives that it is sometimes a challenge for us to understand our obligations to make space for nonbelievers," Sen. Clinton, who was elected to a six-year Senate term in 2000, said, addressing an audience of more than 200. This is the third annual religious liberty dinner sponsored by the IRLA and Liberty magazine; all three have been held in the historic Senate Caucus Room on Capitol Hill. . .
.Sen. Clinton said, "With 14 million church members worldwide and 1 million here in the United States, you understand very well the importance of religious freedom and freedom of conscience. It is your work, often, on the front lines of religious liberty that helps to tell the rest of the world of the story of the oppressed and in so many ways denied their rights to live and believe as they choose. "

Or this one:
On the eve of the presidential inauguration, US Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton last night embraced an issue some pundits say helped seal a second term for George W. Bush: acceptance of the role of faith in addressing social ills.
In a speech at a fund-raising dinner for a Boston-based organization that promotes faith-based solutions to social problems, Clinton said there has been a "false division" between faith-based approaches to social problems and respect for the separation of church of state.
"There is no contradiction between support for faith-based initiatives and upholding our constitutional principles," said Clinton, a New York Democrat who often is mentioned as a possible presidential candidate in 2008.". . . .

Quote:Hillary vs Condi Rice for President.
Who would win?
Either way,it would be fun to watch.
I've been saying that since Condi's grilling by the 9/11 Commission and when it became more and more apparent that Hillary is looking to make her run for it in 2008.

Quote:Kerry took too much time to find his voice, when he did he did well at the end.
I think it was precisely when Kerry found his voice that he proceeded to shoot himself in the foot, again and again and again.
Quote:Excuse me, but Gore pushed legislation which was instrumental in taking the then-tiny,almost unknown internet up to the point where it was poised to become what it is today.
I don't see Al Gore's picture here:

Or his name included anywhere in the summary of the history of internet here

And here is the most charitable summary I could find of Al Gore's involvement with the internet
