Hillary’s Vice may be her Virtue

The last time the Clinton’s were running for president, William Safire called Mrs. Clinton a “congenital liar”.

I’m depending on those congenital lies for her to win the Democrat presidential nomination.

While leading Republican presidential candidates are serious about the war on terror the Democrat candidates aren’t - except Hillary. You can’t tell that from her actions right now, and she may even allow a Kossack moment as the primaries approach, but it’s a lie.

Bill and Hillary know terrorism isn't a fantasy conjured up by George Bush. They were the Presidents during the First World Trade Center Bombing, Kobar Towers, the Cole bombing, and the embassy bombings in Africa. After 9/11 I don’t expect them to go back to their old ways of (non) combating terrorism; especially based on the antics of Sandy “pants” Burglar where it seems the Clinton’s don’t want us to know what those old ways were. If she wins, they'll get their mulligan on the war on terror.

Hillary would be the least likely Democrat contender to screw up the war on terror. She won’t follow through on her promise to redeploy American troops from Iraq, at least not in the manner to meet the expectations of the nut-roots; and not in a manner to put America’s head in the sand.

Hillary's one vice larger than the lie is her ambition. The basic rule to understand is: If it's not good for Hillary, she's not going to do it. To get the Demo nomination she will need to come across as a pacifist – good for Hillary. Actually being a pacifist - bad for Hillary (or anyone). She seems to be the only one in the Democrat party with enough sense to understand this. That’s why this conservative is pulling for her nomination over the other demo candidates.
