Hillary Wisconsin

The Wisconsin debate ads continue. This time, Clinton is airing an ad attacking Obama for running an ad that attacked Hillary for running and ad that attacked Barack for not agreeing to a debate in Wisconsin. Confused? Just watch:

I really hope people see these attack ads for what they are: a desperate attempt for more support from a desperate candidate.

What a crock. Why is it that they've had 18 debates and Hillary didn't manage to bring that up in any of them? Maybe because it's BS and she knows it. Why is it that Hillary is promoted a health care plan that "mandates" coverage but doesn't explain how this mandate will be enforced? Why is it that Hillary didn't read the energy bill that Barack voted for and find out that it's the first energy bill that has billions of dollars for renewable energy and actually CLOSED big-oil tax breaks? Why is it that Hillary and her husband oversaw a Social Security system that is going broke, and Barack is the only person in the race with the courage to say so, and to say that SOME OPTIONS are raising the retirement age, and etc? Why is it that Hillary is just going out every day lying to America, saying she'll enact a health care plan that she already failed to enact once, and she can save a Social Security plan that her and her husband have screwed up? Why is it that Hillary can't play it straight with America? Like Barack said in his last ad: "Same Old Politics".

Campaign ad limbo--

Where we live on the western edge of Wisconsin near the Minnesota border, we do not receive ads playing on Wisconsin stations because we have access to stations in Mpls.-St. Paul only. So, if they didn't use attack ads in MN, we won't see it here.
It's refreshing actually--you have to do your own research and make up your own mind.
I think it's important that we all avoid being caught up in some "cult of personality" and hold both candidates accountable. I love Obama's soaring oratory--hell it's great have someone out front who can actually string a sentence together in an uplifting way.
That said, I do think he has been given a pass by the media and not examined as closely as he definitely will be if he is the nominee. It is the same thing that happened last spring when the media all but crowned Hillary the party's nominee.
We need to refuse whatever they're selling us and not let the corporate media continue to set the agenda.
Let's face it, they're both similar candidates--if Obama can't handle a bit of nastiness now, he will never be able to handle what the GOP will throw at him in the general election.

"Hillary's plan would leave out ALL Americans because mandatory health care will NEVER get past the Republicans in Congress. Not in a million, billion years."

There aren't going to be enough Republicans left in congress to stop much of anything, no matter if Obama or Hillary is in the White House.

We have a record 29 Republicans "retiring" this year in the house, and more than 20 Republican senators are up for re-election, as opposed to 11 on the Dem side. That's not counting the senate Republicans who are also "retiring".

Retiring of course means getting the hell out of Dodge.

Republicans are fucked in this election no matter who the Democratic nominee is.

If Hillary goes out there in the general election saying she's going to garnish wages to pay for health care insurance, she's doomed. She's completely unelectible. But she knows that - and she knows she's going to have to change her tune before the general. So why is she saying one thing now and knows she'll have to say something else then? Because she lies. She says she's "Ready On Day One". I say she'a a "Liar On Day One". Well, she learned it from Bill "I did not have sex with that woman" Clinton.

Here's another video. Is Obama too busy "winning elections" to have another few dozen debates? Don't let Obama hide behind another victory speech.

One on one Obama has only debated Hillary once. Once. If he is to scared to go up against Hillary one on one again then get out of the race. If Obama can't debate Hillary then how in the he!! is he going to go up against our enemies?

    Favorite    Flag as abusive Posted 06:54 AM on 02/16/2008

Scared? Who is so scared that they have to demand more debates to try to chip away at a lead? Obama's smart not to give into her desperation. Going up against our enemies will be easier than you think. Why do you think so many republicans are retiring? They don't want to run on Bush's illegal policies. Why do you think McCain got the nomination? Because the republicans hate him and he's already lost a number of presidential elections. Who better to throw under the bus? So don't let your fear of the republicans keep you from voting for the candidate who can most effectively bring the country together to move it forward.

My favorite part about these "Hillary cares so much about Wisconsin ads" is that they went up before she even showed up in the state. She cared so much about Wisconsin that she decided to go to Texas. Further she claims Obama has responded with a false attack ad, which is an outright lie. Pointing out the obvious fact that there anyone who wanted to see a debate could have seen the other 18 is not a false attack. Unlike Senator Clinton, Obama's message hasn't changed repeatedly throughout the campaign, so we don't need another debate to find out where he stands right now. It's where he's stood from the start. Hillary needs a debate so she can roll out all of her new slogans and attack lines dreamed up by her revolving door of advisers and pollsters.

Haven't we seen ENOUGH debates?!! What more do we need to hear or see -- an ugly fighting match brought on by Senator Clinton's desperation? No one cares about these debates except the Clinton's. And NO ONE wants to see these UGLY NEGATIVE CAMPAIGN ADS. Are you listening Senator Clinton? The anger is coming through. Try to hold it together and be classy until it's over. Otherwise you'll never be Senate Majority Leader -- or get re-elected in NY.

We've only had one 1:1 debate with Clinton & Obama. So that's a specious argument. What's Obama afraid of? Doesn't he want to be specific with his programs? Where's the beef? Is he all talk and no action? Obamamania is not going to get him elected. the country will wake up and say "wait a minute" - what does he want to do? how is he going to do it? how is he going to pay for it? And, leaving Iraq isn't the answer for $$$. That isn't in the budget anyway! If he was so knowledgeable, he'd know that... Hillary 08

Clinton is just so negative her and her husband. Dam no one needs to debate that much. She makes me so sick. She will lose if not the nomination the election. Let’s get that in her head she will not be the president even if she steals the nomination.

Just like when Bush slide into the WH. I was depressed for a month. Al Gore was president but we all got screwed. The press loved,loved, loved Bush. ( Go look for yourself) And they hated Gore. Remember the debate where Al stood up and approached Bush. Even though Al won every debate the press jumped all over Al like he just stabbed Bush in the head.

And you Obama people want to make the same mistake. For Gods sake think about what you are doing. Do you want to be responsible for Bush Junior. He has no idea what he is doing and no ideas of his own.

Obama is running off of Bushes 2000 platform:

CHANGE

I AM NOT A WASHINGTON INSIDER

I DON'T BELIEVE IN WARS IN OTHER COUNTRIES

I HAVE WORKED ACROSS PARTY LINES

( How has that worked out for all of us? )

Go to www.hillaryclinton.com and see for yourself what she stands for and the great ideas she has for our proud country. And the solid plans to put them in place.

On top of everything else my family and our friends would never vote for a cousin of Bush and Cheney. How anyone ever could is beyond me. Obama is running on Bushes 2000 platform. How in GODS name do you think he is going to be a change from Bush? How????

Gee Kennedy, I guess we just take it on faith that your opinion of the Clintons is correct, because you are such a great judge of character? I have nothing against the Clintons, but I DO believe Hillary is unelectable. That is too bad, because the hatred of the Clintons is a stupid right wing knee jerk, but nonetheless, it is a reality.

By the way, Hillary claims Obama's health care plan leaves out 15 million Americans. Hillary's plan would leave out ALL Americans because mandatory health care will NEVER get past the Republicans in Congress. Not in a million, billion years.

Obama's plan is realistic. Hillary's plan is pie-in-the-sky. She's preaching to the choir. Her health care plan is D.O.A.

How many of you know that the MA health care plan was passed while Mitt Romney was govenor? You didn't hear him talking about it much because it hasn't gone well there. Read this article from the Wall Street Journal and see if you come away with the same optimism and blind faith in Hillary's plan. Mandatory health insurance means you have to purchase it whether or not you can afford it. CA just rejected universal health care legislation because of the mandates. Please read the whole article and see if you don't come away a bit concerned about how something that is supposed to be great for everyone, actually ends up hurting a lot of people (just as NAFTA did).

Hillarys plan would pass and Obamas would not. Hillary has been through this before. And she has worked with REP in the senate to get bills passed. She has even worked with REP that worked on impeaching her husband. So don't believe everything Obama tells you. Find out the facts for yourself.

This is all crap. This debate garbage is a non-issue in Wisconsin, don't let anyone fool you.

We've had access to every debate already, and if someone doesn't know who to vote for by now, they've had their head in the sand. And John McCain can stop lying anytime now....

The man is pathetic. I believe the cancer has now spread to his brain.

Bring on the damn vote already!

hey JJinWi, some people dont have alot of spare time and expect debates around the time of their election, thats usually what happens around election time, so the fact that u had nothing to do a 3 weeks ago and could watch the cali debate, u really should lose the argument that debates shouldnt happen around the election time, seems to me thats what ur saying, and it seems to me thats what Mr Obama's saying to, debates should be timely, so you think being able to see these folks answer more questions isnt a good idea, why

Get off it. These debates not only play the first time they are broadcast live, but over and over again on c-span and other channels. If you were so 'busy' that you couldn't watch one of the reruns, or the play by play accounts on all the news networks, plus the various videos on places like youtube and so on, then you are probably too 'busy' to get around to voting anyway. Right?

Man, see it for what it is. A desperate attempt by a desperate candidate. Period. It happens everytime. She's reaching for something that isn't there - more support. If she were to win, she's going to have half the country against her from the very start. Atleast be honest with yourself, you're not doing anyone any favors by reaching.
