I think it will be interesting to see if this stance makes her stronger in 2008 by making her atleast a serviceable candidate for moderate republicans and potential swing voters or does it hurt her chances of even being nominated by her own party due to the anti-war/anti-military factions of the party and the radical left wing who will turn on her in a heartbeat for supporting any type of conservative ideaology?
Most Democrats are not "radical left wing." Most Republicans are not "far right." Liberal is just a political slander term. It is baseless except for a few politicans.
Most politicans and voters hug the middle, leaning a little left or a little right.

So is "conservative" a political slander term? If you are not aware that the radical left wing will play a role in the nomination of a Democratic Presidential candidate then you are either naive or sorely mistaken...such groups as the ACLU, NAACP and various Women's Lib groups and pro-choice/pro abortion groups play a large role in the democratic party just the same as the Christian Coalition, NRA and various pro-life/pro religious groups play a big role in the Republican Party...while the majority remains fairly close to the center any denial that these more extreme liberal or conservative factions don't play an important role in politics is just devoid of any real rational thought.
Well these days the Republican party is turning Liberal look at some of the prominent members of the party Arnold and Rudy Guliani(sp?). It makes me sick. I now consider myself a Conservative Independent because of these 2 and also McCain.
Go Huskers!
You are going to have a few Republicans here and there that are extremely moderate but I'm not real sure I would consider Guiliani in that list...i dunno maybe. On the flip side you are going to have your democrats who are extremely moderate as well...aka Mark Warner...Hillary Clinton is attempting to fit into that mold as well.
what's an extreme moderate
isn't that an oxymoron

"Extremely moderate" referencing their position in relation to the rest of their party, not in and of itself. I didn't think I would have to spell it out but you never know with some people I guess.
nope...youre either extremely conservative, conservative, moderate, liberal or extremely liberal...don't really see where anyone can be "extremely moderate"

Nope...you can be extremely liberal, liberal, slightly liberal, slightly moderate, moderate, extremely moderate and still be a on the democratic side of the stick(left).
On the Republican side(right): you can be extremely moderate, moderate, slightly moderate, slightly conservative, conservative, extremely conservative [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
It's more of a history lesson. When we pulled out of Vietnam. We lost more lives in withdrawing than we should have.
And if you look. When the Soviets pulled out of Afghan. Well they suffered the same.
It's better to step up a Iraq military first and then pull out in levels.
Levels hopefully that we and the press never know about.
That is the problem now. Every one knows what we are gonna do before we do it. How logical is that in a time of war?
