They have embraced the higher work requirements and seem unwilling to seriously address the problem of poverty. Some of these Democrats have gone so far right on welfare that a number of Republican Senators, including Olympia Snowe and Orrin Hatch, have actually found themselves significantly to the left of the DLC Democrats."
http://www.commondreams.org/views03/0605-07.htm"But no one is going to confuse Hillary Clinton, who has cozied up to the conservative, corporation-funded Democratic Leadership Council, with a progressive reformer. She remains the conventional inside-the-Beltway pol who angrily shouted, "Russ, live in the real world," after U.S. Sen. Russ Feingold, D-Wis., tried to explain why Democrats should embrace campaign finance reforms he had proposed.
Hillary Clinton's determination to remain in the cautious, unquestioning center was very much on display last fall, when the Bush administration came to Congress seeking a blank check to wage an unnecessary and unjustified war with Iraq. While other senators expressed concern over the failure of the Bush administration to make a credible case that Iraq posed a serious threat, Clinton bought the White House line.
"I will take the president at his word that he will try hard to pass a U.N. resolution and will seek to avoid war, if at all possible," she declared.
Twenty-three more skeptical senators chose not to take the president at his word. Among them were Bob Graham, D-Fla., who then chaired the Senate Intelligence Committee, and Carl Levin, D-Mich., the ranking Democrat on the Senate Armed Services Committee.

http://in.news.yahoo.com/031109/139/2992v.htmlWashington, Nov 9 (ANI): Susan Sarandon has launched a vitriolic attack on Senator Hillary Clinton, insisting she feels nothing but contempt for the Ivy League lawyer.
According to a report in website Rate The Music, Sarandon has slammed Clinton's political performance and claimed that she "blew" her chance of success.
"Hate her! The only thing she's going to be remembered for is standing by her man, and that is really sad. She had a shot, and she really blew it. She turned out to be just another politician, which was really disappointing. I also think she lost a lot of support. I know a lot of people who write very large cheques who have told her, 'That's it for us, don't come back.'," she said.
She voted for the war, and was part of that disgusting silent vote for the 87.5 billion dollars. After her recent trip to Afghanistan she proudly proclaimed US success there. Unfortunately the news from that country is the exact opposite.
Hillary is part of the problem, not part of the solution.
