Hillary Clinton, the fight promoter.
Today's petulant frenzy by Hillary was nothing more than a free way for her to promote a free debate for more exposure.

She's broke. She has mounting debt, a string of loses, and slipping polls.

She can't afford to compete in the big March 4th media markets, so she is resorting to calling out Obama with sensationalism. The key line was "Meet me in Ohio, we will debate".

That wasn't for Obama. That was for the viewers. She trotted out her faux outrage, teasing the excitement of a dirty fight.

Ohio. Be there! Because she can't afford to get attention any other way.

2. That sums up her entire campaign.
Her donors should be crying foul and scouring her expenses.

6. Well, health care is essential for all of us!
You say stunt....what a empty headed, ignorant statement!


Wait until you need something and your insurance denies you or you don't have coverage. Then, you will know why she fights for this.

I see it daily. People wait until they can't take the pain any longer and someone calls the squad to take them to the ER....many die from lack of health care management. Hypertension is the silent killer....many strokes because people couldn't afford their meds or to see a doctor.

Diabetic....OMG. they can't afford the needles for the insulin! Can't afford the proper food for their diet.


Yea, I'm mad too!

You dare call this a stunt. What an anal meatus!

3. Since, it's already been played ad nauseum, it has already done
ALL the good it could potentially do for her. She got her free press. She didn't look good, but at this point it is all she can get.

All the good from it will now backfire from her to Obama.

4. If Hillary never said a word, all you whiners would be blowing off steam that she didn't fight back
and blah blah blah.

5. Hillary is re-active, and that is it.
That's not the way to be a leader, or win.

7. It's not what she said, it's how she said it...
Edited on Sat Feb-23-08 05:56 PM by ALiberalSailor
...Get her in front of the UN demanding further sanctions on North Korea or (Future Islamic Enemy Here) and let her act an ass like that. She'll get less respect than GW gets now. She didn't look "Presidential". In fact, she looks a pretty far sight from it to be honest.

8. Geez, just imagine if HIllary...
...had expressed 1/100th of this level of outrage toward George Bush when it came to ANY of these issues:

--Illegal wiretapping
--Guantanamo
--Signing statements
--Habeas Corpus being decimated by Gonzo and Bush
--Rigged voting machines

I guess we know now that Hillary CAN get outraged. She does have emotions, and the ability to speak out--when it suits her.

It's too bad that she was so silent, while Bush proceeded to rip our country to shreds.

It would have been nice to see just a little bit of her current outrage extrapolated onto issues that are
bigger than a political mailer.
