Conservatives truly love America and support the armed forces, while liberals are unpatriotic draft dodgers.

I have never understood why the politicians who are most eager to send soldiers into harm's way are always depicted as their most ardent friends.

The irony is that what was supposed to be a great vulnerability of Hillary Clinton , which the Iraq war vote which she has acknowledged was a terrible mistake, has lent an aura of strength in a funny way.

Not surprisingly, some of the super-rich declined to join the Patriotic Millionaires when the Agenda Project reached out to them. At least two airily dismissed the Bush tax cuts for millionaires and above - which will cost well over $700 billion over the coming decade - as small potatoes.

If you look at polls, Hillary Clinton is considered the toughest in a field of men. That`s no small victory for her going towards a general election.
