1. the advertisers(big buisness) have spoken

and have pressured their corporate sponsered news networks to sell hill to the people.......hooray!!!! :eyes:

[TahitiNut]

9. Could it possibly be more obvious?

I guess that's approval for her abominable second act joke of a "health care proposal." Unfuckingreal.

[antigop]

38. Yep. That's why we should call her sHillary..... n/t

[kenfrequed]

2. How irritating

Well as more intelligent people than I have commented in the past. "It's sunday and it is still conservative" (badly paraphrased-but very true)

[BlooInBloo]

3. Yup - I'd rather they had ALL republicans than have her.

[Greeby]

5. They do have a Republican - HER nt

[BlooInBloo]

17. Yup. A republican with a 92+% progressive voting record.

[kenfrequed]

19. And who gave her that rating?

Uhm alright source?

[BlooInBloo]

20. ProgressivePunch....

http://www.progressivepunch.org/members.jsp?search=selectName&member=NYI&chamber=Senate&zip=&x=42&y=5

And my error - her progressive voting record is only 91.93%. Apparently she lost a few hundreths since the last time I checked.

[kenfrequed]

10. Bah

If they were going to have a democrat I would rather it be a real democrat and another corporate friendly clone.





Still, despite the fact I despise the idea of Hillary being the candidate I will admit that at least she didn't vote for the stupid Non-binding resolution against Move-on.

[superkia]

18. She should have the D before her name changed to an R.

Can we get signatures together a protest her having the democrat title. I wish it was possible, she is a disgrace to the party and to democracy in the country!

[BlooInBloo]

23. I think she should be torn limb from limb, screaming while her husband and child watch.

[HCE SuiGeneris]

4. The corporatists are fortifying their entrenchment. n/t

[bananarepublican]

43. They are setting Hillary up for a Rudy victory. Rudy is a '911-Warren-Commission' man! n/t

[undeterred]

6. Actually, 3 of them are being done by her clones

and you can't even tell. :shrug: They're that good.

[Canuckistanian]

7. Looks like the show is over

Okay, boys, pack it up! We have our nominee.

Oh, and tell that Kucinich fella we won't be needing HIM any more.

[kenfrequed]

12. Actually

This is merely a demonstration of power in an attempt to woo over some of the old-guard establishment folk Democrats. This will not be enough. Her polling is going to start bleeding soon as people grow more and more tired of her-after all she has proposed so very little.

[Canuckistanian]

13. I hope you're right

We know what she's about. Can the general public get a clue?

[emilyg]

41. Don't bet on it.

[rwheeler31]

8. I hope she talks about the veto threat on kids health care.

No one seams to know about this.

[femmocrat]

11. Oh darn.... and I'll be away tomorrow....

what a shame....

Thanks, cal04. We won't kill the messenger!

[OnceUponTimeOnTheNet]

14. K&R for what is obvious. Big Money wins Big Time, Every Time.

[journalist3072]

15. Oh! The shock! The horror! A presidential candidate is going to be on the major Sunday

talking heads shows! Someone call the police!

What do you all expect? She's a presidential candidate, and if I'm not mistaking, this is her first appearance (as a candidate) on the Sunday talking heads shows.

So for people here on DU to act as though this is something unusual, or somehow the big, corporate media is giving a nod to her candidacy, is just baloney. It's disengenuous.

[OnceUponTimeOnTheNet]

21. Perchance it is Disingenuous, But at least it made the Greatest rating.

ha.

[journalist3072]

22. That doesn't say very much. Some people on here will rate up anything, no matter how useless

Sometimes I think people here on DU are more interested in group think. They need to be told how to think and how to feel. It's called intellectual laziness.

[OnceUponTimeOnTheNet]

24. I'd rather think you're talking of the MSM informed masses in your post.

DUers are a highly informed group of folks, from my point of view.

Your post ~"That doesn't say very much. Some people on here will rate up anything, no matter how useless

[journalist3072]

26. Based on some of the posts I see on here, no, they aren't.

Yes, of course there are some very informed DUers on here. That's a given. But I've also seen many who are not, based on many of the posts on here.

[HughMoran]

33. Just more hypocrisy

What is going on here - it's as predictable as my heart beat - incredibly disappointing :(

When Edwards was getting press like this it was a big booster post, now it's a big shock as if the others haven't seen any airtime.

Tell me this isn't really happening...

[journalist3072]

35. Exactly! What's also sad is that people here on DU consider themselves part of the "reality-based"

community...yet are so divorced from reality and the facts around them- especially when it doesn't square with their pre-conceived notions.

[Olney Blue]

16. I thought they had banned human cloning!

Thanks, cal! :hi:

[Diane R]

25. Is Huffington Post supporting Hillary, too? They seem to have a lot of pieces on her.

[rodeodance]

27. Good for you Hil. Make us proud

[emilyg]

42. She will.

[Lasher]

28. Oh look, there's Newt. Again.

Discraced nowhere hypocrite gets free airtime with disgusting regularity.

And I wonder what Greenspan is going to say. Let me guess: While pimping his book he will claim that others are to blame for everything he hosed up. And he will claim that he never said we invaded Iraq because of oil. You learned it here first, Greenspan will claim that it was actually Rich Little who said that while doing an impression of him.

34. Gingrich predicted a Hillary/Obama ticket

http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2007/07/30/gingrich-predicts-clintonobama-ticket/

July 30, 2007

WASHINGTON (AP) — Democrats will nominate Hillary Rodham Clinton for president in 2008 and Barack Obama will be her running mate, former Republican House Speaker Newt Gingrich predicts.

[bvar22]

37. Like a good Republican...

Newt just adds up the Corporate loot. Whoever gets the most Corporate bribes WINS!!! YAY!

[mod mom]

29. The corporate media have chosen our candidate-another corporatist.

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

30. Finally, some intelligent discourse. I'll be watching Russert try to "gotcha"

Sen. Clinton.

I want to hear from her, as well as our other candidates.

MKJ

[bvar22]

39. Wouldn't it be GREAT to see Hillary & Kucinich...

on the SAME show with Timmy, and be allowed the whole hour to debate their opposing viewpoints on the iSSUES?

[scarletwoman]

45. Sorry. That only happens in one of the alternative universes. Not this one. (nt)

[creeksneakers2]

31. All five of those shows will go all out

to cause Hillary to make a mistake. What a brave candidate! If Hillary makes it through this my respect for her will grow.

[mikelgb]

32. no we don't need the fairness doctrine

that wacky moon bat Dennis Kucinich is sooo wrong

[superkia]

36. Who wants elections decided by the people? Elections...

should be bought the legal way like they are now. It creates a better country and world, look how things are now. Luckily Clinton has enough corporate supporters behind her or a republican may have bought it and things would be worse the people of the country. Wait until shes in office, you will see how much our lives will improve, I cant wait to see the difference.:sarcasm:

[KharmaTrain]

40. Another Media Cattle Call

Hillary's savvy in dealing with the corporate media. She doesn't go running for the microphones (like Biden) or need the exposure like others. She's also a "hard get"...a sure viewer draw, but she rarely agrees to go on most programs. When she does, she calculates it for impact...what a smart candidate does. This keeps her in control of the forum as the Russerts et al know she'll boost the ratings.

I'd rather see Hillary than the usual GOOPs and their stenographer friends.

[scarletwoman]

44. Gee. Wonder if anyone will ask her how she's gonna vote on the Kyl/Lieberman Iran

amendment? read about it here

Rhetorical question, of course. NO ONE is going to bring that up, they'd really prefer you don't notice.

Anyway, it's been obvious for years now; Hillary Clinton is the mainstream media's choice. They've been hammering on it since she first got elected to the Senate. They want her -- and only her -- to be the Dem nominee for 2008. They won't settle for anything less. It's too good a story line, too good a hook. They'll sell their own mothers to make this happen.
