Q: How can you tell when a Democrat is positioning for a Presidential bid?
A: They start talking like a Republican.
Saying that religious people should be permitted to “live out their faith in the public square,” Hillary Clinton spent Wednesday night practically pounding the pulpit.
In a speech at a fund-raising dinner for a Boston-based organization that promotes faith-based solutions to social problems, Clinton said there has been a “false division” between faith-based approaches to social problems and respect for the separation of church of state.
“There is no contradiction between support for faith-based initiatives and upholding our constitutional principles,” said Clinton, a New York Democrat who often is mentioned as a possible presidential candidate in 2008.
Addressing a crowd of more than 500, including many religious leaders, at Boston’s Fairmont Copley Plaza, Clinton invoked God more than half a dozen times, at one point declaring, “I’ve always been a praying person.”
Yeah, but praying “God, please don’t let Bill touch me. Please don’t let Bill touch me. Please don’t…” doesn’t really count.

MY, MY, MY, Hilarious is using the “G” word. The day that lady believes in no separation in church and state, is the day we need to head for the hills and fast…
And you are right about her acting like a Republicain

That was great. I could never run for office — I think I’d choke on all that bullshit coming out of my mouth. I don’t know how they do it.

Not to worry. I have video of her participating in three separate Black Masses. She’s the one wearing the goat head.

I’m a Dem and really why can’t we stop the “flip-flop” take a position, band together and win. It dosn’t help Dems to “talk republican”, or have we not figured that out just yet.

She may have always been a ‘praying person’, just praying that Bill would get caught! Gawd, I hope she doesn’t run in 2008
