ya'think - Clinton Says GOP Blindly Follows Bush...
'One day after suffering a pair of defeats on the Senate floor, Democratic leaders argued yesterday that their internal divisions over Iraq will help push the country toward a change in policy and accused Republicans of blindly following President Bush on a path that has been disastrous for the nation.

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) said Democrats emerged from this week's Senate debate more united than critics contend around a policy aimed at forcing the new Iraqi government to take responsibility for suppressing the insurgency. Party unity is important, she said, but not as valuable as an open debate about how best to change course.'

1. She said that on the Larry King show with the other women
Senators. It was a great comment. She was not being too kind to Bush that night. Very Sharp and to the point.

She is bringing up a very good point. One that we should all begin to hammer home.

Every time one Dem makes one suggestion and another Dem makes a different one, the Repugs have a media field day with shouting from the rooftops that the Dems are "divided".

The point Hillary is making is that we are not divided on what we are looking for as an outcome. What we are doing is offering differing views and ideas on how to achieve those outcomes. As opposed to the Repugs who simply walk lockstep with the White House.

Its a great point and one WE should be shouting from the rooftops.
