Why Not Hillary?

The fate of Joe Lieberman hangs in the balance as the hours to Tuesday's primary tick away. The New York Times reports here on Lieberman's last ditch effort to bring back voters by explaining his vote on the Irag war. Allow me to opine. First, in politics 101 we learn that in order to pass legislation you need both party's approval. But while a lot is being made of his vote, much more is being made of his friendly relationship with Bush. That, seems to be more of a problem for voters in Connecticut than what he has done as a senator. Second, while the article goes on to talk about other Democrats who voted for the war and the criticisms they face very little is said about whether or not Hillary Clinton will face a similar fate. Unfortunately, Ms. Clinton, will not face such a fate as she is safely ensconced in her senate seat. And why is that? Simple, Ms. Clinton, like her husband, regardless of their votes, get a pass each and every time. Yes they are citicised but very little comes of that criticism. Of course, Hillary is now trying to make up for her vote by her public flogging of Donald Rumsfeld. While I don't really care about either Democrat I want to point out the double standard when it comes to the Clintons.
