Meet the new Hillary - same as the old Hillary
The Extreme Makeover of Hillary (Rodham) Clinton
by Buchanan, Bay
Hillary Rodham Clinton has been many things, but one thing she has always been is a dedicated, unapologetic liberal - until now. In positioning herself for her 2008 presidential run, Hillary has begun to carefully put away the trappings of a liberal and wrap herself in a cloak of moderation. The Senator who had been (with the possible exception of Ted Kennedy) the highest-profile member of the Democrat party's left wing, is now being packaged as a centrist - with the willing help of the liberal media, which has taken up her cause and castigates anyone who attempts to keep labeling her a liberal.
(continued from above)
But now, in The Extreme Makeover of Hillary (Rodham) Clinton, Bay Buchanan examines the evidence in order to determine whether it's really true: after forty years of battling for every imaginable liberal cause on earth, has Hillary Rodham Clinton really become the right-of-center politician she is presented to be today? Has the darling of the Left, the Feminist-in-Chief, the architect of universal health care, the author of It Takes a Village, really abandoned the causes of a lifetime and turned to the Right? After years in the political trenches with the best the Left has to offer, has Hillary rejected the ideals for which she fought so hard? Are we to forget about Hillary's eight years as co-president and decades as an outspoken advocate of most every left-wing cause and limit ourselves only to Hillary's six years in the Senate when assessing her political philosophy? Are we to treat one of the most widely recognized women in the world as if she dropped out of the sky and onto the political scene just a few years back?
Or could there be something else going on here? Could Hillary's apparent ideological shift be a cunning move to overcome her two great vulnerabilities as a candidate - the fact that voters think she's too liberal, as well as cold, calculating, and unlikable? To find the answer, Buchanan looks at the many faces of Hillary Clinton: the woman, the wife, the lawyer, the feminist, the politician, the senator, and the aspiring president. She scratches at the Hillary's new façade to see if the old Hillary still resides there, or if parts of her have truly been replaced. She examines Hillary's strengths and weaknesses, her fears and challenges, her beliefs and values, her passions and causes, her apparent willingness to reach out to Republicans, and a host of other evidence in order to determine whether or not there has really been any discernible movement in her political leanings.
To establish whether we are witnessing a change of heart in Hillary or a cynical makeover, Buchanan also establishes a baseline: since the reinventing began in earnest when Hillary took office as the junior senator from New York, she uses that moment as a point of reference, establishing who Hillary was when she entered the Senate, and examines Hillary's policy positions as a senator -- from the social issues to national defense -- to determine what she really believes.
Who is Hillary Clinton, and what does she really stand for?
- How Hillary's makeover involves her looks, her voice, her rhetoric, her attitude, and her religion, as well as her politics
- Bill Clinton's assertion that while America may be ready for a woman president, she would most likely be a Republican in the mold of Margaret Thatcher - and how it may have led to Hillary's makeover
- The far-left columnist who wrote, “[Americans] have lost all hope of getting any shred of authenticity from either Bill or Hillary -- unless it's the authenticity of the deluded”
- Hillary's personal strengths and weaknesses - and how both are propelling her toward the presidency
- Hillary's character: disquieting evidence that she can remorselessly lie, cheat, steal, commit perjury, obstruct justice, malign reputations, and destroy the lives of innocent people
- Universal health care: how Hillary made a ham-fisted mess of her one formal attempt to craft national policy
- Hillary's ongoing advocacy of government-funded early head start programs -- to get to the kids with liberalism as early as possible
- How Hillary's handlers plan to emphasize that she was once a Republican and is a “big Methodist” -- in a $200 million advertising campaign featuring Hillary the God-fearing, family values-loving war hawk
- Hillary's actual Senate record: how it belies the claim that Hillary has moved toward the middle at all - and shows that Hillary is still a tax-and-spend liberal of the highest order, more liberal than 80.5 percent of her Senate colleagues
- Why Hillary abandoned the antiwar movement and supported the war in Iraq - and two reasons why Hillary, as President, would almost certainly use the power and might of the U.S. military to force some third world leader to get in line
- Why Hillary can no longer talk with any credibility about enforcement of immigration laws
- Evidence that, when it comes to women and families, Hillary's biases remain rooted in radical gender feminism
- Two crucial reasons why Hillary's massive deception -- using the press as a co-conspirator -- must be stopped
- Revealing actions and traits that answer the question: can Hillary handle the enormous responsibility that falls squarely and entirely on the shoulders of the commander in chief?
Who is Hillary Rodham Clinton, and for what does she stand? Can she be trusted? Or are we witnessing a carefully planned and professionally orchestrated transformation of an unprincipled left-wing politician who will let nothing, not even her deepest-held beliefs, stand in the way of becoming the first woman elected president of the United States? In The Extreme Makeover of Hillary (Rodham) Clinton, Bay Buchanan provides a solid, exhaustively researched and highly revealing answer, giving you solid proof that Hillary is running for president as someone she is not - and giving you abundant ammunition to expose her hypocrisy.
