3. She is a creation (creature?) of the media. They created her image as front-runner
in order to tear it down in the great tradition of Pee Wee Herman, Michael Jackson, Howard Dean and everyone else that ever rode the intoxicating wave of media-launched pseudo popularity.

9. Wow. How incredibly insulting and demeaning to a woman.
A hard-working, energetic, forceful, AMBITIOUS, intelligent, GUTSY woman. But she's just a media-created puppet? Sure, she is, ducky. And next election they'll run Laura. Because the woman and her achievements mean nothing. It's just a media illusion.

Hillary Clinton is such a serious, successful candidate for president that it can't possibly be due to HER.

What a cowardly commentary.

11. Wow, funny you should say that!
I think the fact that you projected that upon me says a hell of a lot about you and very little about me.

I think any more said by me would be extraneous. You are overly sensitive because you know much of her "credibility" is a loan drawn on that of her husband's.

Oh, and drop the hysterical name-calling.

5. No doubt about it!
The neocons, their MSM propaganda tools and DLC all want Hillary to be the nominee.

6. I agree
And this really ticks me off. The media is selecting the nominee for us.

7. Yes the media are attacking her relentlessly
How someone could even think that means the media favors Clinton is beyond me.

8. Attacking her? They're giving her a lot more time than anyone else, which
is GOLD in a debate. They're doing her a favor.

13. There are many, maybe too many, waiting/wishing for her to falter/melt/screw up
That she is holding her own, despite the many questions, is a blow to those risking those many questions...a blow because she didn't falter...and instead, got more air time...

12. Yep.
I as a voter want to hear more from Kucinich, Dodd, and Biden. I have it recorded. Guess I'll still have to rely on actions and emails instead of the "debates".

15. Thanks to Fat Timmah Potatohead and Robonewz
Can't blame Clinton for that tonight.

I agree with you ... the air time is VERY unbalanced.

And they are flat ignoring Kucinich. They give him a bone of time now and gaain, he says his thing, and they go on as if he wasn't there.

Fuck them.

16. Notice her position, dead center, with everyone else trailing off to the
sides???? Looks like a lineup for a Presidential announcement of some sort.....

19. It's Disgusting.... And, MSNBC this week started to show the
Edited on Tue Oct-30-07 09:51 PM by KoKo01
oh so familiar Bill and Monica 'hug fest' over and over in their build up for the debate.

I might have gone for Hillary if she hadn't turned out to be a panderer and the M$M weren't building her up to crash her down will endless BILL & Monica stuff...and just wait until they start showing Paula Jones crying and "Where is Jennifer Flowers after all these years?" They will find her and drag her out, also.

No wonder the media panders to her. They are going to get BIG VIEW TIME REHASHING BILL's Transgressions from the time he hit college!

I don't have the stomach to deal with her "Magnificently Funded Campaign" or another 14 months of Bill's Transgressions running 24/7 like Brittany!

Enough of this! Hillary wants to appoint a Commission to "study" every issue rather than taking a firm stand on what she believes and she drags Bills transgressions around behind her like a skeleton that's hanging out of the closet pointing to where the other bodies are buried. ENOUGH!

22. I so don't agree. Bill is loved and I haven't seen much to the contrary.
Despite his fuck up (no pun), he's getting a pass and she's benefitting from it.
