Hillary the prudent

Democrats burning for the inspirational uplift of Barack Obama or the left-leaning edge of John Edwards may not be ready for an authentic moderate.

    authenticity

    There is nothing authentic about being on the wrong side of the greatest moral and strategic mistake in US history, and then refusing to acknowledge it. There is nothing authentic about blaming her vote on Bush when anyone, who was not blinded by a false ideology mixed with political expediency, could see that the arguments for war were nonsense. Anyone who voted for that war is a participant in a crime against humanity and if there is any authenticity left in our political system, there should be political consequences. Like not becoming president.

    —Richard Joseph
