Clinton Says Liberals are Conservatives
Former President Bill Clinton, second from left, speaks at a Democratic fundraiser in Las Vegas, Thursday, Oct. 12, 2006. Behind Clinton are U.S. Senate candidate, Jack Carter, left; U.S. Congressional candidates, Jill Derby, center, and Tessa Hafen and Rep. Shelley Berkley, D-Nev., right.Today's submission to the Gallery of the Absurd comes from none other than former President William Jefferson Clinton. According to AP, the nation has been "jammed into an ideological corner" by conservative Republicans and is primed for a power shift in the November elections, Clinton said Thursday. Clinton addressed a group of about 50 top-level donors to the Jack Carter for Senate campaign. Carter, the son of former President Jimmy Carter, is running to unseat Republican Sen. John Ensign.
"The Democratic Party has become the liberal and conservative party in America. If you want to be fiscally conservative, you've got to be for us. If you want to conserve natural resources, you've got to be for us," he said. "If you want a change of course in Iraq ... you've got to be for us."It's too bad life long card carrying Democrat and Fox News journalist Chris Wallace wasn't around to ask Clinton exactly what what all that means. When Democrats start calling themselves liberal and conservative just to win an election you can be sure that the war room is in full tailspin mode; denial ain't a river in Egypt.

Then perhaps you would care to explain how the current Republican administration, White House and Congress, are in any way fiscally conservative. I'd LOVE to see you try to defend that.
Why does he have to provide you with moral equivalency for the Bush administration's spending to protect the country versus the Democrat's policy of tax and spend in order to redistribute wealth?
The two are just not the same.
The flag is displayed incorrectly on your icon: it's backwards.
When the flag is displayed in a manner other than by being flown from a staff, it should be displayed flat, whether indoors or out. When displayed either horizontally or vertically against a wall, the union should be uppermost and to the flag's own right, that is, to the observer's left. When displayed in a window it should be displayed in the same way, that is with the union or blue field to the left of the observer in the street. When festoons, rosettes or drapings are desired, bunting of blue, white and red should be used, but never the flag.
