It may look bleak for Republicans in the 2006 election, but the prospect of a Hillary Clinton presidency in 2008 will once again motivate Republican voters to get out the vote. Many will call it the most important election of our time and with good reason. It will be the first time in American history that a woman has a legitimate chance to become President of the United States. People on both sides of the political divide will be turning out in record numbers.
Although Hillary has been portraying herself as a moderate for the benefit of the upcoming election. She is still the poster child of liberalism in the minds of a majority of conservatives. Many who were of voting age in the 1990's will remember Mrs. Clinton's proposed plan to socialize medicine during her husbands presidency. Just the idea of it raised the dander of Republicans and Libertarians alike causing them both to fight it tooth and nail until it was defeated. Mrs. Clinton will steer far away from anything that can be painted as "socialized" this time around, so look for a massive spin campaign before the launch of any of her proposed national policies.
Hillary Clinton has also become the face of partial birth abortion. She voted no on the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act of 2003. That bill sought to ban partial birth abortion except in situations that endangered the life of the mother. In a 2000 Senatorial debate in Manhattan Mrs. Clinton said "I have said many times that I can support a ban on late-term abortions, including partial-birth abortions, so long as the health and life of the mother is protected.". But She failed to prove that statement when she voted no on the bill that would make that a reality. In addition, Mrs. Clinton has a 100% rating by NARAL which indicates a viscous pro- abortion voting record.
There is also no doubt that Mrs. Clinton's statement about stay at home mothers will be brought to the publics attention once again. In July of 1992 she said
