Clinton: Insufficiently Left

Fourteen-year veteran City of Berkeley (Fornicalia) council member Dona Spring appeared yesterday on the Michael Medved Show. Whilst present, speaking about the recent passage by the BCC to place a measure to impeach President Bush into an upcoming election, Mizz Spring clearly stated:

"Clinton is nothing more than Bush in drag."

And she has subsequently spoken a mouthful there. Translated: Hillary Clinton is insufficiently Left for the Left.

This view, predominant in the Left and actually verbalized here, is coming to roost in a number of ways. And Hillary had best be on guard and aware. My guess is that the Hillary Camp is not pleased at all. Consider the following:

April 4, 2007— ABC News has learned that the $23.5 million Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., raised for his presidential campaign for use in the primaries is more than that raised by the Democratic frontrunner, Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y.

Also consider:

Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger on Thursday moved California's presidential primary from June to February, giving the most populous U.S. state a greater stake in selecting nominees and shaking up the 2008 political calendar.

What this means?

More than any other time, the presidential primary is under more pressure, faster, earlier, than ever before. It is theorized that the next three months will be critical for all candidates. And since Fornicalia moved up their primary other states have either passed or are considering the same move. The primaries really might be decided by February or March of next year on the heels of what's to transpire in the next few months. Hillary and Her Handlers had best be paying maximal attention.

FROM THE "I TOLD YOU SO" CATEGORY:

Ahmadinnerjacket recently released the UK15. I posted Tuesday about Pelosi visiting Syria and responded in the comment section of Little Miss Chatterbox (who posted about the same issue):

"Pelosi -- we expect this kind of US nation-state erosion from her. And just wait -- think she might claim some kind of "influence" on Dinnerjacket's recent verbal decision (believe it when you see it) to free the UK15?"

Guess what?

Syria: We Helped in Iran-Britain Dispute. And as Drudge indicated: "Pelosi Diplomacy". I wonder who might be chirping up soon?

NewsMax indicated: "The order to capture the British sailors and marines was given by Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei himself. Khamenei's top advisers argued that by striking out against a U.S. ally in Iraq, they would be sending a message to other European nations to step back from supporting the U.S. strategy of increasing pressure on Iran over its nuclear program. They saw the move as a clear test of Western resolve.

So what actually turned the tide of the UK15? Perhaps: ". . . at that meeting, Revolutionary Guards commander Maj. Gen. Rahim Safavi reported that the deployment of the USS Nimitz suggested that a U.S. military invasion of Iran was being prepared for early May. He urged the Council to order the release of the British hostages as a gesture to defuse the tension in the region."

Oh, but that would be wrong, wouldn't it? Shouldn't we have all gotten together, Iranians and the UK and US, and spoken in low, soothing whispers at a nice wooden table with our Starbucks and hookahs?
