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.

    Why is Edwards considered a liberal?

    He was the only candidate in 2004 who thought our draconian federal drug penalties were too soft.

    Not even Bush or Cheney swung that far right.

    What gives with this man?

    Does he think prison is some new kind of socialism, or what?

    I think the only candidate willing to claim federal drug penalties aren't harsh enough has to have a pretty serious authoritarian streak hiding deep within his soft smiling self.

    Watch out -- that pretty boy hair could be hiding an ugly personality.
