"Clinton has repeatedly said her rivals are teaming up against her…"

++++++++++++++

Classic Clinton. Say it enough times and it becomes believeable…at least to them.

After this female student spoke up about asking a planted question for Hillary, who denied knowing anything, my last desire to even consider Hillary has vanished. If the Democrats want to get back into the White House, Hillary is not electable for lack of credibility and capability, never mind having Bill as an interfering burden. They may enjoy working on a fat lobbyist job so they can better represent the American people.

The Clintons are the D.C. establishment that doesn't know much about the American people so she will not answer voters' questions. I am afraid she answers the lobbyists' questions much faster than we know. Why did the New Yorkers even elect her? She is not a New Yorker. Her true home state is D.C. so she really wants to go home to the White House. She is not really interested in representing New Yorkers. But thanks for her patience to do it as long!

And wait…Obama-Bashers are touting his supposed 'inexperience'? Well, that is valid, seeing as on Hillary's record, it shows…hang on, SHE WON'T LET US SEE HER RECORDS! SO HOW CAN SHE CRITICIZE SOMEONE ELSE ON THEIRS?!!!

Pathetic. Whenever someone has caught Hillary in controversy, Bill comes to her aid. And whenever the american public sees right through this, her supporters try to saturate the severity of her blunder by crying 'everyone else does it!' or 'Bush Jr. does it, so why aren't they writing something about him?' Hmmm…I had to take a moment and fully take in the intensity of the Hillary-supporter's stupidity, or childishness, seeing as I once used the tactic of making my flaws not look so bad…when I was nine. Geez…I would love a world whereas everything is the same as it is in this world except Hillary's last name is something other than Clinton…maybe then you idiots will open your eyes.

Uh, personally, I don't care to hear one peep out of ANY of their spouses, conservative or liberal candidates alike. It's not out of bigotry or s*xism… it's just that I don't care about the spouses, period.

We're sizing up potential candidates for the job of Commander in Chief; THE Chief Executive of the free world, not playing a round of Milton Bradley's Mystery Date.

I don't give a tiny rat's rear end about ANYTHING the spouses have to say, because the spouses are not on the ballot… or in the Clintons' case, the spouses SHOULDN'T be on the ballot.

I'm certain the Founding Fathers would have severely disapproved of this Clintonian Co-Presidency thing.

If Hillary wants to run for the office, fine. Great. Dandy. In fact, I'm all for it. Bill, you've had your turn already… sit down and shut up.

I didn't vote for Bush nor would I vote for someone who has done nothing but ride the shirt tail of others as Hillary has done.What The only Bills that Hillary has brought forth is her husband.Eight years in office & she couldn't even bring Health Care Reform for America,but now she has all the answers.Her record she claims to be running on can't be seen,because there is no record.Maybe Sandy Berger knows where those records are.Vote for the facts not the myth that she is putting out there.

Diana from Minneapolis,

I did not vote for Bush in either election. That is precisely why I am not voting for Hillary. The failed policies of the Bush administration must not bother you too much as you seem to be a Hillary fan. Her rhetoric resembles Bush's more than any of the other Democratic candidates.

An open handed gester is body language for "will you buy this one?"

"Oh Willy the chivilary you show over Hillary makes me sick. You and Hillary are phonys."

…BUT,they are in "LOOOOOVVVE"! At least that's what they told us. I don't know about you people, but if I pulled the multiple infidelities this clown pulled (and, in his case, front-and-center on the world stage), my wife would have done more than just divorce me. These two suck!!! I can't think of more disingenuine politicians (I know, an oxymoron).

Oh please. How many of you idiots who are complaining about Hillary are the people who voted Bush into office?
Get real, you wouldn't know a good candidate if she bit you in the *ss!!!

Hey, Jim from Topeka! Bush was the governor of Texas. Remember. Actually was responsible for "governing". Where the frick do you think most of the recent presidents have come from - governships. Carter, Reagan, Clinton, Bush. They had to solve actual problems in their states, and know how to run a state within a budget. Every one of them had to learn foreign policy on the fly. Unless you were a VP running, you can't really get the foreign policy stuff down until you get in office. (No, flying around "visiting" countries like Hillary did doesn't really count. That's called a vacation, not making foreign policy)

Her Royal Thighness has NEVER governed or been responsible for anything, well, uh, unless you want to count controlling all the bimbo eruptions from her faithful hubby.

When the going gets tough…blame Edwards for behaving like Bush…when in actuality, it's Hillary's actions in the senate and her debate answers that resemble Bush's policies more than any of the other democratic candidates…for status quo vote for Hillary.

Has anyone noticed that the divisiveness and "hate" in politics only really started when the Clintons and the Clintonistas like Carville, Begala, Stephanopopopopolis, Ann Lewis, et al, came on the scene in the 1990s. All the cute phrases like "vast right wing conspiracy", "politics of personal destruction", blah, blah, blah, BLAH. They are always focused on CYA and covering up stuff than actually accomplishing anything. They are nothing but a poll-driven political machine with no substance, except to offer one gov't program after another to "buy" votes with, of course, the American people paying for all of it. They are truly despicable people who should never be running this country again.

What experience did George W have, he was a graduate of a Ivy league school. Was a Texas oilman that never hit oil, a part owner of a major league baseball team that was told when to buy in with his borrowed money, and when to sell by the people that lent him the money. He had lots of experence at achieving nothing.

Assuming we are stupid enought to elect this woman………

Why not, people were stupid enough to vote for Bush twice.

Oh Willy the chivilary you show over Hillary makes me sick. You and Hillary are phonys.

Tough on her? If she can't handle that here in the States, how's she going to handle the 'boys' that run countries and armies all over the world that do not particularly admire us? The last thing Bill should be doing is announcing to the world that Hillary feels like she's getting 'picked on'.

Enough already. By saying comments such as this he is only perpetuating the stereotypical "helpless woman". She entered into this race. The presidency is the most important role in American politics. If she can't stand up to a few men then how on Earth will she run this country? Get a grip Bill. They aren't being any more tough on her than if she were a man.

Poor Ms. Clinton: Having someone that no longer can practice law due to lying to the Congress and the ENTIRE American population; to include his wife-Ms. Hillary Clinton, his daughter; try to defend his wife against a group of like-minded Democrats is almost too ironic. What about the Rose Law Firm papers lost for years, suddenly showing up on a table in the White House residence? Those pesky (Hard working; dedicated and I'm sure MORE than HONEST staff) maids and butlers kept those items hidden.
Ms. Clinton: NO canned questions; meet with the press in an OPEN forum and let them ask the questions that are the drivers to supporting the American way of life. If you don't know the answer: SAY so! Have the integrity to admit that you do not have a policy for a specific problem and stop placating the public with bad information.
"Be true to thyself".

What experience does Hillary have? Oh yea She lies like Bill,wants to provide Health care & benfits to illegals.use your tax dollars to pay for abortions & build the Hippy museum.Wake up people,Americans want the truth not excuses.

If she can't handle the discourse from her own party, how will she be able to handle discourse when it comes from the other side of the aisle. As far as trying to use her gender, what would she say if Obama was trying to use his ethnicity. I think we are screwed when it comes to our next Presidency this administration has created a distrust of government especially in the Executive Branch. This is only the 2nd Presidential election that I have participated in and among younger voters like myself won't be voting for a Republican for a long time. I really hope she doesn't get nominated but I would rather have her than any of Guiliani's running mates.

Yea we get it…Michelle can support her husband Obama…Elizabeth can make speeches for Edwards, but somehow Pres Clinton speaking up for his wife is wrong,,,listen Hillary supporters don't even try to debate with these idiots on here…they are not about serious debates and facts…just a bunch of folk acting like politicians putting spins on anything and quoting accusations on the Clintons that the Republicans spent over $50 mil of tax payers money and all they were able to prove was Bill Clinton was a womanizer…and lo and behold the republican that was leading the pack (Newt) was doing his own dirt…they are a joke and that is why they are in the situation they are in now, having to say with a straight face that Rudy is the best candidate for president…now thats funny

I live in Iowa and I think I'l make some shirts up with Obama on it with Bill pointing towards him. On the back on the shirt it will read

Stop being tough with my wife BOY!, now don't get mad that's what Bill said

There is this spirit of hate, which some people wear on others without been objective to reasoning. Those who hate Hillary Clinton do so mainly because she chose to remain with her husband (Bill) after the sexual controversy. They would have preferred if she had divorced him. What an irony!The fact that she used the experience and turned it to strenght is what angers these haters. It is most alarming that some people appreciate the less vitues to the spirit of perseverance, loyalty, strenght, courage, the right ambition and other good Christian/moral values.
Question: Who is a hero?
Anyone that went through grave adversity (ies) and turned it to strenght or victory.
The spirit of hate is of the devil, your enemy. Let us put this away.
Hillary is steady, with good judgement and very capable of leading this great country prosperously into the generational change that is shapening the new world order.
This is not a political view, it is progressive opinion. Most times, we have to see above politics to help our common progressive course…

Looks like it' still too early to bid farewell to America's misogyny and double standards in gender politics. Funny how Rudy's 180 degree policy sifts and flip flopping on gun control, abortion, you name it, does not draw the same invective as Hilary's vote on Irak or position on immigration. Thanks to one of the commenters for pointing out that the Clintons do not have control over their records — this is the corporate media at work in tripping up and distracting the public again! Runaway deficits, large majorities with US antipathy worldwide, gutting of our civil liberties…have we lost sight of the big picture?

Actually, by calling them 'boys', Bill Clinton gave them an excuse for a childish and irresponsible behavior.

Watch again the debate that sounds like: "teacher, teacher, look.. she said yes, she said yes.. you said yes to illegal immigrants" and Hillary explaining "no, I said I recognize the problem faced by NY governor".

How would you qualify the noise they made and their childish behavior? If they didn't understand that question couldn't be answered by yes/no, they are irresponsible as future leaders. If they understood but enjoyed their act, calling them 'boys' is .. the best they could get.

All the comments hillary has made about President George W. Bush more or less beating around the bush, and what did hillary do? She hedged on the illegal immigrants getting drivers licenses. Hillary couldn't even give a straight answer, I think Bill Clinton is a little off saying hillary can handle it, she can't even answer a question with an a clear answer, but almost agreeing the illegals should be given those licenses.

Uhhh Kenneth from San Diego can you at least tell me one thing Hillary has done as a Senator? Come on just one. One bill. A law. A good idea. An original thought?

I lived in New York for thirteen years and four of those she was my Senator. And I still can't think of one thing she did.

I mean if you want to talk about all the good she has done for New York then name one.

You can say she is better than Bush but well…. Bush is not running and she supported everything he did.

You Loosers let the female lead the country and make History.

America derves female President.

Now that's now even humorous, Billy.

Olivia, San Antonio, ONE MORE TIME, "OBAMA WILL NOT BE ELECTED" I like to say one more time, "Obama will not be elected". Americans are smarter than some of candidates, they know Hillary is brillian and intellgent, plus two brains are better than one. Only The Clinton's will save our Country from the mess, no one else.

i have lost all respect for bill clinton!!! how dare he call the other front runners boys!!! how condescending for an arrogant adulterer!!!

[CNN isn't neutral enough to post this, that's right. Very disappointing.] Had is displayed for a short moment and then poof, CNN removed it.

Bill, you just take your whole "boy" self home now and do more writing or sitting on the porch watching whatever it is you want to watch. I agree with the other bloggers, Bill you are negatively affecting your 'wifes' campaign. Oh, so then keep up the talking, speeches, etc. We understand Bill, you are truly running this campaign secretly, for yourself. Because if Hilary wins, the U.S. will have two Presidents in the White House, two Clintons. Yikes.

Hillary has disappointed real working women across this great country for she isn't standing on her own two feet with pride and integrity. She isn't speaking from a place of true compassion, nor honesty. Let us move on without them.

Posted By Caleb, Santa Fe : November 12, 2007 10:50 pm

People are making their own stories, I don't care what people play, Hillary got my vote all the way to White House.
People live nagative, hard, poor and low living, I am sorry for them.

Keep talking Bill. You are helping our cause!

This is just an observation and a question so please don't get your drawers in a wad. I just want to be enlightened.

I've seen and read several news stories about the leading Democratic candidates' wives and noticed they haven't been shy about expressing their views and opinions or standing up for their husbands …and getting slammed for it I might add. I guess it's no different now that a husband is doing the same.

However, I do find interesting what the leading Republican candidates' spouses have to say. Rudy's wife made the media because she called during that NRA speech. Of course I doubt he'd want his other wives to say anything at all. After reading about Ann Romney, I think I like her more than Mitt. At least she has personality and speaks about MS but of course she did give those $150 to that abortion-rights group, big no, no! I saw Fred's wife on TV but I didn't hear her say much of anything, then again, she is an attorney so she should know what to say and what not to. Don't know much about Fred's first wife. McCain's …oops, that was his mother, but come to think of it, she's the only Republican female that hasn't been afraid to voice her opinions …right or wrong.

Is it just that dang left-wing liberal media, just a family values thing, be seen but not heard, or what is it exactly? Yes I know, we're looking for a president but I also think a spouse says a lot about a candidate.

Who is running forPrez ? Hill or Bill? This is not AMERICA !

It is blatantly obvious that the Clintons are over, America is done with them, finally. Bill, you just take your whole "boy" self home now and do more writing or sitting on the porch watching whatever it is you want to watch. I agree with the other bloggers, Bill you are negatively affecting your 'wifes' campaign. Oh, so then keep up the talking, speeches, etc. We understand Bill, you are truly running this campaign secretly, for yourself. Because if Hilary wins, the U.S. will have two Presidents in the White House, two Clintons. Yikes.

Hillary has disappointed real working women across this great country for she isn't standing on her own two feet with pride and integrity. She isn't speaking from a place of true compassion, nor honesty. Let us move on without them.

She runs for president as Hillary, he, the president, has to explain that the girl can handle the boys …

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

Bill Clinton, please stop. Your attempt to defend her makes her look weak. Hillary is running for president, and as such, she has to show that she is capable. Please tell her to answer the questions pose to her, that is the minimum requirement. She may have a large lead right now, but she will lose if she cannot take a stand and defend her position. Juliani is making fun of her because of this.

Attacking Bush doesn't help. We all know Bush did a horrible job. What we want is answers - and presumable, those who run for president have a strategy on how to move this country forward.

The slogan 'Turn Up the Heat' from Hillary doesn't help. That strategy will perpetuate the divisiveness in this country. It may work in the past, but it doesn't work now. The country needs to heal.

That's primarily why Obama's message has the greatest appeal to me. He understand the sentiment of the country. We are tired of the infighting among us. Obama's message is the least offensive.

People are feeling insecure about their jobs, their health, their retirement, their large debt (from education/house). Do we do something about it, and if we do, how do we fund it … or do we let each fend for themselves. Which direction do we want to go?

I am mainly a democrat. I don't mind pitching in (through taxes, if needed) in order to see the less fortunate taken care of. Some people say that the government cannot do this and the tax should be left in people's hand. Of course, if the government cannot do this, then I would like to keep my money, but if the government can do this, then I don't mind pitching in to see the less fortunate taken care of. I, however, do not want to pitch in to fund this war. I do not like to have my tax dollars wasted. I wish I can have a box so I can indicate how I want my tax money to be used, which program do they go to, and I want to see a report on it - what kind of results they get from it from the money they received. Perhaps in the Internet age, it is possible to see this kind of results, and perhaps, with this kind of reporting and transparency, it will reduce the waste in government, because people are keeping an eye on it.

If it's the government that serves the people, then I don't mind pitching in, but if it's the government that imposes rules/regulations, constricting my freedom, then I'm not crazy about it.

It seems the Republican message is to let people fend for themselves. Let private organizations deal with it. It's not a governmental problem. I would prefer a strong government, a government that serves the people, offering good services to the people, from young to old, and we all pitch it for that.

After all, to build a strong country/community, it needs a little sacrifice from each of us. We are at a crossroad - this country is falling apart, and we need to rebuild it, and that requires a little sacrifice from each of us.

DON'T GET MAD AT BILL FOR CALLING THEM BOYS. HE'S A BOY TOO.

After all, hes been called a boy before. He's been called a "dirty , naughty , nasty little boy. A bad BAD BAD little naughty boy"

ROFLMAO

So,he should know what it's like to be called a boy.

Geesh. Males can be so simple-minded.

What next, guys? Gonna double-dog-dare Clinton to "arm rassle ya"?

Why don't you try to put a little intellectual depth into your comments instead of only reguritating the Republican slops you've been sucking down?

Posted By Maeve : November 12, 2007 5:46 pm

Just a simple minded male here Maeve, if you think it is just men and Republicans that are hammering Hillary, you have drank the kool-aid very successfully.

I was so simple-minded I volunteered and proudly served giving sheep like you the right to support who you want and to say what you want.

But since you called "boys" out "Honey", I challenge you to post some actual reasons why we should all vote for Hillary and why we should just dismiss her not answering questions, or half answering questions, sending Bill out and Geraldine Ferraro to defend her, planting questions (a SENIOR level Clintonista did this) among other misdeeds.

Dismissing someones views because they are men and then demeaning those thoughts and the sex of the speaker by calling them "boys" is not only simple-minded, but typical of the Clinton apologists.

I await your surely insightful responses and reasoning for the simple fact that you are a brillaint woman.

Please enlighten us "boys", I double dare you.

Hillary is her own worse enemy. Having an early election season will more than likely hurt her. People have more than enough time to do their research about all the candidates. If Hillary looses the election, she will have only herself and her past to blame.

Many said Bill was a smart guy, but I wonder if Bill is getting Alzheimer's. He just would not shut up for his wife to stand on her own. He has to be patient till after she is elected, and then he can do all the stuff he feels like doing or saying in the White House.

A second chair will be needed for the Oval Office if she is elected. Who will sit where? The Clintons will definitely mess up the chain of command with two ambitious people, one of which claimed to be a little girl. This is U.S. presidential election. Either you do or you don't have the qualifications for the job. Please stop being cute and take the voters seriously. Bill is irritating and Hillary can't talk for herself. I want to be open-minded, but my patience is running out.

even democrats are complaining that hillary is keeping those old health care documents secret. what is she hiding?

To Kenneth in San Jose:

What has she done as a Senator?

Please let me know.

I agree w/ mike nakagita. Why are people invoking Bush's name so often? He is not running for President. It seems that for the past eight years many people who didn't vote for him are bent on some kind of revenge. If that's your game, what can I say, but we all have our political viewpoints. Im thinking secure our country, lower taxes, build a wall to stop illegal immigration; you're thinking "get back at conservatives for winning twice in a row."

Women going to job interviews in business have to face a panel of 6 men. So what is so unusual about having to answer questions asked by men? Hillary is an outstanding person, but she is going to have to compete the same way a woman has to compete for a job at a company or a law firm. And the higher you get, the bigger the sharks. Personally, I think Richardson is the most qualified and that is whom I am voting for. I am not voting on the basis of the race or gender of the candidate.

I didn’t know white men from Arkansas still called black men “boys”…

So many of these respondents supporting Hillary by comparing her to Bush still don't get it. Bush is not running in 2008. Can some publisher out there produce a popup picture book that can be handed out at Clinton rallies so these morons can finally understand? thank you.

And to Bill, you may very well be calling one of these "boys" "Mr. President" in little more than twelve months. Don't be so arrogant and disrespectful.

I think Bill is actually hurting Hillary's chances because if there's anyone that stirs up hatred in our country more than Hillary, it's BJ himself! It's buy one machine politician, get one free !

Demwit Alert ! Demwit Alert ! Bill is not running for President .

The 'feminist' is having her husband say that the 'boys' are being tough on her?? Unbelievable. They are asking her to be straight-forward with some simple questions.

I wonder if Hugo Chavez and Vladimir Putin will be delicate when they deal with her if she is elected?

Again,it is not boys and gils or men and woomen;even you try to make the contrast.It is candidat and candidat.Gender can't work this time.When you said those boys,for me this is gender card.It is not going to work Bill.

Do we have the whole story here?

Edwards accused Clinton of acting like President Bush. That is as ugly as any campaign could get. Then Clinton retorted to Edwards uh na You’re acting like President Bush. So what’s next? You eat boogers? Uh na, you do…

In the meanwhile Bill Clinton is still running around in circles defending his wife and trying the play the gender card for her with “those’ BOYS’ are getting tough on her lately” line. This is sad and pathetic.

At least Obama has not said any of his opponents are acting like McCain.

The absolutley scariest thing about Hillary becoming president is the fact that she will be the COMMANDER IN CHIEF of our brave men and women! A military she and her husband loathe. I hope people remember that before they ever vote for her. She would be even worse than her goof-ball-ego-driven husband and Jimmy "Clueless" Carter.

Please define each word for us Bill…

"those, boys, have been, getting, tough, on, her, ."

I hope that the American Women are not so stupid to vote for a WOMEN, and I use the term lightly for her. When the right women is nominated it will be time to vote female. Now there are only MEN that would qualify for the Presidential Position. I pray that the country comes to there senses and nominate a person that is not dishonest and has some morals.

Maybe Bill should take over for Hillary at Thursday's debates too.

Will Hillary have Bill sitting beside her in the oval office if she is elected?

All boys who are running for president look and act like they are in high school foot ball team anyway. Who cares what they say to Hillary! As a Hillary supporter they will never able to change my mind to vote for them. Edward spend whole life sucking poor people's life as a trial lawyer and Obama is really really a hype, ten teenagers vote not going to make him president. He is not making a movie for Hollywood. I will never every vote for OBAMA AND EDWARD EVEN THOUGH I HAVE BEEN DEMOCRAT FOR MY LIFE.

Posted By jmaya, iowa : November 12, 2007 7:00 pm - I agree 100% and stop deleting my comments!

Mr. Clinton's remarks in South Carolina are purposeful and distasteful. He is stooping pretty low on this one.

Mr. Clinton…there are no 'boys' running for president. There are men with backbone, integrity, and good judgment, running for president. They have a right to question your wife. How dare you!

J. Mckinney SW MO, you say the Clintons Cannot release the records. I guess you didn't read the memo that Tim Russert had at the debate from Bill where Bill specifically directed that records related to Hillary be sealed until 2012. Since you claim to be so much smarter than everyone else, I would have assumed you knew about that Clinton directive. Or is that yet another point of fact that HRC supporters are experts at sweeping under the rug.

I know many people who will vote for Clinton. I guess it's not okay when Bill comes to Hillary defense but it's okay for Michelle to come to Obama's? Come on people which is it? Let's get real. One more time "Obama will not be elected."

Remember, Hillary only wins if she's a victim.

Yeah you tell them Kenneth Brown, San Jose, CA - couldn't have said it better!

Everyone I know is voting for Hillary Clinton.. she is the true vision of hope. Hillary has and will continue to work with all politicians..Democrats and Republicans…that is how our country will come together…by working together …The other candidates are attacking their own …that will only divide us more…..GO HILLARY 08
Posted By MaryAnn Oswego IL : November 12, 2007 7:31 pm

Where on earth did you hear that she unites people? She will never be able to have republican support, and can't count on support from members of her own party. This is one of her big turnoffs for me, she divides people.

Ron, have you been hiding under a rock. She (Shrillary) does not work with both parties at ALL. Clearly 1/2 of the people in her own party HATE her. And the republicans, well that's even worse. They will assure she will get nothing done. I never talk to anyone with mixed emotions about Clinton. People either love her or hate her. No one is undecided about that. I will not vote for her in the primary or the general election. BTW: Where does she stand on illigal aliens getting drivers licenses? Is she for that or against it. I honestly can't tell. Is she trying to buy their votes because they sure won't rush out and buy insurance. It has been over 2 weeks now and I still do not know the answer she says she has given 5000 times. Where does she stand on this?
No to Clinton from this Dem female. Yes to Obama, Edwards, or anyone but Hillary.

I know how to get Bill to back off - Tell him that Hillary will make a better President than him and that her legacy is bigger than his legacy and Bill will completely freak out. Nothing is more precious to Bill than protecting his legacy. Just ask Sandy Burglar. Maybe that is why Sandy is now working for Hillary to make sure she doesn't grow a bigger legacy than Bill's.

Christine from Atlanta. I also have written many comments - positive about Clinton and negative about the other candididates and some don't show. Doesn't matter - CLINTON is the best and she has my vote. And,so what if Bill is defending her. What about Obama's Michelle that got up on soap box and sang like "Maria Callas".

The office of the president of the UNITED STATES is no childs play or joke!!! America is the mother to whom the rest of the world runs crying to for help, we dont need a chicken in there we need a brave heart!!! hate george bush all you want but at least he stands and defends his ideas and policy against the harshest criticisms,IF SHE THINKS THE AYATOLLAHS IN IRAN will be nice to her and come at her with kids gloves she better think twice, she could never handle the heat and stand strong.. if Hillarys inability to answer a simple yes or no question means that the "boys are attacking her"
then she should quit her campain tonight and run home so bill can protect her, she will never be the president of the U.S.A!!!

Hillary and Bubba. To use your own stupid metaphor. They only have turned up the heat because should could not give a straight answer to a simple question and then tried to back pedal when confronted about this.

How is this for a metaphor "If you can't take the heat get out of the kitchen."

Your wife is a wimp and so were you. Do yourself, the Democratic Party and America a favor and just DROP OUT NOW.

Do you think America wants to have you "speak out" on her behalf every time there is even moderate criticism?

Just drop out, split the money evenly between the remaining real canidates and don't ever try and go before the American people again.

Your wifes waffeling was bad enough last week. To hear you moaning about it like a child has killed any chance she had. And deservedly so. In one week you have given America a glimps of the next four years you have in store for us and we do not want any of it.

CNN time to pick a new canidate and crucify this woman like you did Howard Dean.

"Bill never cared about what he did to Hil(Jennifer,Paula and Monica) in the past, so why start caring now."

++++++++++++++++++++++++

…and Hillary didn't mind subverting the rights of women who dared charge him with violating them either. Nothing and no one was or is going to get in her way to the WH. Except, hopefully, the voters smart enough to see through these two. So much for her championing womens' rights.

Can you name some of these Republicans that you say Hillary will work with? Did you see her "speech" at the JJ Dinner on Saturday. "Turn up the Heat", yeah that sounds convincingly bipartisan. Attacking everyone in America that disagrees (I can't even say we necessarily
disagree, because we don't know where she stands on almost anything)has no chance of bringing anyone together. If she's aiming to bring exactly 50+1% of the vote then you might, might, get a win, but don't think for a second that she will or could change ANYTHING.

The Kentucky Senate race is getting very hot. A major Republican is now threatening to run an independent third-party campaign, which could REALLY hurt Mitch McConnell. Full analysis

If you think they are attacking her now…just wait and see what they do when and if she gets in the white house!!!….All that testosterone on capital hill,geez she will never get anything done…Someone will always be critizing her because they didnt think of it first.Not because she is a woman or anything like that.{LOL} Because she is Hillary Clinton. Be smart and dont vote for Hillary Clinton. We need to get some things done for our country…preferrably before I die….We just wasted 8 years with Pres. Bush and now we want to take another gamble with Hillary?….Wake up america. VOTE NO on Hillary Clinton.Id nominate my dog before Hillary. Most people like dogs.

"…Hillary has and will continue to work with all politicians..Democrats and Republicans…"

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

What planet are you from?

WHO CARES ABOUT HILLARY!!

Start talking about REAL candidates like Kucinich, Gravel, Obama, Edwards, and even Ron Paul!

Bill never cared about what he did to Hil(Jennifer,Paula and Monica) in the past, so why start caring now.

americans have the uncanny tendency to "evaluate" job performance based on things not related to the job..so, naturally when we all think back on the "bill years", some of us think only of scandal,and some of us think more about his abilities to offer up some brain mass (which we all miss sorely), run a country, battle a republican congress and command respect around the world; we're always gonna have those people who put a magnifying glass to "other stuff" and let that dominate (stupid stuff in a country of some truly stupid people)..
bottom line?..hillary is human..she's not gonna give a bulletproof answer everytime and thats gonna be the best evidence the competition's gonna find in their battle.
when you look past the stupid stuff that only gets attention because we're all so hungry for the entertainment of mistakes, we still have a better leader in hillary than the republican party could ever find..

it'd be the first best step in cleaning a house of incompetence: the white house.

Everyone I know is voting for Hillary Clinton.. she is the true vision of hope. Hillary has and will continue to work with all politicians..Democrats and Republicans…that is how our country will come together…by working together …The other candidates are attacking their own …that will only divide us more…..GO HILLARY 08

"We need Hillary, and she is the one with the plans."

They are??

"I pray we get Hillary for president–I don't know what will happen to the USA if we don't. We may be too far gone for even her and Bill to straighten out this mess."

God help us!

"If you don't believe me, then take a look at what she has accomplished as a Senator and for her wonderful work with women's and children's rights around the world. I just think your all just jealous of her success as a woman."

As a sitting Senator I'd be more impressed if she did something for the citizens of this Country.

What was I thinking?

Bill's comment of "those boys have been getting tough on her" is what the dem's cry about a right wing conspiracy. However, it is coming from her own party. I can't wait for her have to debate or stand up to the other side. Hillary better get out of the kitchen because you can't stand the heat and she certainly can't cook.

Hilary is making too much out of the fact that she is a woman. Everyone already knows that. Suck it up Hilary. No one said it would be easy. We havent even gotten to the real dirty fighting yet. This in no way compares to the Swiftboat attack on Kerry last year. Go OBAMA!!!!

Well Bill should know about touch questions. He doesn't like them and he is a liar. And here is a nice quote to end this comment:

"If a President of the United States ever lied to the American people he should resign." - Bill Clinton running for US Representative in 1974

Clinton has repeatedly said her rivals are teaming up against her because she is leading in polls, not because she is the lone female presidential candidate.

I have a word for you Miss clinton, If I ever hear you declare yourself a frontrunner again, I will vote for Obama or Edwards..You only got campaign boost by CNN which I think you owned the whole summer. It make no sense to run for primary if you can not tell us the difference you hold from your colleguos. You had already gone to republicans attack before you tell us what you can do and how. Now that things are not so good you are melting down to tell us how you are leading. Stop being delusional and we can help you. Till then I am voting to the candidate who best deserve my time,energy,trust and my vote!

Message to Hillary - tell Bill to "put a sock in it" and stop getting into the middle of things…..It looks like Bill (and his big ego) just can't take a back seat during this campaign and stick to fund raising and his "projects". He's making you look weak and "unpresidential"

It isn't the "boys" (and think of what a sexist statement THAT is) who are giving Mrs. Clinton the heebee jeebies. Her spine shrivels when someone asks her a question and expects a straight answer.

Hillary fell overboard! hey was that a movie? well anyway vote for MR.. BILL CLINTON. OMG GEEZZZZZZ

It's quite legitimate to be questioned and crytisised on issues and positions.
Bill Clinton shouldn't defend Hillary Clinton. She joined the race, nobody made her to do so. She should be ready to answer the questions.
What will Bill Clinton say if she is the nominee and really attacked by the Republicans and swift boats?

Hillary Clinton is one of the most dedicated public servants we have. She will make a wonderful President. She is clearly the smartest of the field and I will be delighted to vote for her.

You all are nuts.

Keep supporting her till that day you and her will see you on the pondium holding Obama's hand up high asking me to join you in supporting him…Keep watching history unfold, till that day,
see ya!

Pointed and forceful rhetoric increasingly becoming the tone of every encounter.

What Democratic Presidential Candidate do you think made the biggest lasting impression at the Iowa Jefferson Jackson Dinner Speech?

http://www.youpolls.com/details.asp?pid=957

.

All boys who are running for president look and act like they are in high school foot ball team anyway. Who cares what they say to Hillary! As a Hillary supporter they will never able to change my mind to vote for them. Edward spend whole life sucking poor people's life as a trial lawyer and Obama is really really a hype, ten teenagers vote not going to make him president. He is not making a movie for Hollywood. I will never every vote for OBAMA AND EDWARD EVEN THOUGH I HAVE BEEN DEMOCRAT FOR MY LIFE.

Beware of CNN (Clinton News Network) as they fully support only the Democrat agenda. Most reporters are Democrats. I guess I would be too if I chose a low paying job over starting my own company and paying most of the taxes to support the socialist Democrats.

Everyone leave Hillary alone. You all know she can't handle the basic pressure of answering questions truthfully. Remember, she's a Clinton…

Hillary is a particularly gifted liar. But make no mistake, she's an ultra liberal who has worked hard to portray herself as moderate the past 5 years. What a joke.

Better the challengers are tough on Hillary than Hillary being tough on Americans and their families.

Besides, she shouldn't need Bill to do her arguing for her if she has the mettle to lead the most powerful nation on earth. ( At least this year! )

Can you believe anything this man has to say? What a joke and now Seantor Clinton said I didn't know anything about it? doesn't it sound familar? We don't know anything about anything.

Boys?

That is a pretty disrespectful comment.

Well, if Bill thinks the "guys" have been hard on his wife, then he should remember how "hard" he was on the gals during his term.

Bill is 'tough' defined as; requiring Hillary tells the truth?

Should we allow her to lie to the American people like you did?

There he goes again!!!!

"It amazes me how everyone is on the "Hillary bashing" bandwagon. Hasn't anyone noticed what a horrifically stupid, incompetent, lazy, and dishonest president we currently have? I bet most of the emails are from Bush supporters or at least from those stupid enough to have voted for him twice. Back off Clinton. She outranks Bush by leaps and bounds when it comes to experience, intelligence, competence, education, and leadership. If you don't believe me, then take a look at what she has accomplished as a Senator and for her wonderful work with women's and children's rights around the world. I just think your all just jealous of her success as a woman."

**************

Oh, brother. Yeah, she was a shining example for women victimized by their spouses. Then she did all she could to shut up any woman who charged Billy with transgressions. Women's rights indeed!

When Bush-Bashers get a small taste of their own medicine (negative remarks about Hillary), here is what they write:

Just like Hillary… they can dish it but can't take it. Yall just aren't ready for prime-time, Ken.

Bill, do me a favour, sit down and shut up!

Ahmadinejad, Kim Jong Il, the Republicans, they aren't exactly going to GO EASY on Hillary! Is that the Clinton's only excuse for Hillary's poor performance over the past two weeks?

How utterly rediculous… that's not how a President handles attacks. "I'm just a woman! All the guys are being mean to me!" That message will not fly with the world arena.

I'm looking forward to a Clinton/Guiliani matchup,she's more man than he is and he's just a democrat pretending to be a republican. And Chris,calling her supporters Hillidiots makes you look worse than them. You really need to get behind Rudy instead of making yourself look like his behind. I know you think you're doing something for him,but you're not. Try acting like you're voting age. I'm getting embarrassed having you on my team. You are old enough to vote aren't you? My apologies if not.

If you think that's tough, how tough will world leaders be IF she is president? Will Bill attempt to call them off her as well? She is not ready to be president. Bill comes to the rescue too often!

The boys are getting tough on Hillary because she is far ahead of them in polls, which does hurt these boys' ego.
They gang up together because they share a common trait: losers.

Instead of talking about their own policies and the republican problems, they join together to condemn Hillary's policies. Meanwhile, they are lucky that Hillary does not reciprocate their attack tactics; otherwise their policies would fail miserably under scrutiny.

In the end, these boys will still be immature boys and fall aside next January. They will have to answer to their moms and their supporters.

Hillary will chew them all, spit them out, and will be nominated by being the top of the heap.

She had better get accostumed to it. This is nothing but verbal abuse compared to the tough decision making required by the Executive Branch. I can understand a automatic response to defend his wife, but as the old saying goes "If the Cook Can't Stand the Heat, Best to Get Outta The Kitchen".

To Chris in Connecticut: Rudy will end what exactly? The rule of law? The national security? The system of check and balances? His own political career?

To J. McKinney in Mo.: Go to barackobama.com and research every policy Obama has, everything he wants to do for the country. Listen to his speeches and you'll hear and see the same thing. Attacks? You haven't seen any attacks from Obama. All he did was ask about her claim that she has more experience than he does, which is false since he has almost twice as much elected legislative experience than Hillary does. Also, it was Hillary that ORDERED her records sealed until 2009. Why did she do that if she has nothing to hide and there's evidence of all her "experience" she gained during BILL CLINTON's two terms.

Hillary Clinton is one of the most dedicated public servants we have. She will make a wonderful President. She is clearly the smartest of the field and I will be delighted to vote for her.

You all are nuts.

I been reading a lot of stories and no body has not give me a good reason why I shouldn't vote for Hillary. It like watching soap TV shows. Sad part if people look at history of political same old story over again. Where are the real stories on fix of the USA. Hillary been pop up with the right answers all long. She has my vote until I start reading real stories why I shouldn't?
Posted By Lee Paul Columbus Ohio : November 12, 2007 5:55 pm

You mean voting for the Iraq war, voting for the Patriot act, voting to all the Iranians terrorists which will help bush push for spreading the war there, AND taking money from lobbyists isn't good reason not to vote for her? Man, you are easy to please.

It amazes me how everyone is on the "Hillary bashing" bandwagon. Hasn't anyone noticed what a horrifically stupid, incompetent, lazy, and dishonest president we currently have?

I sincerely hope that Hillary will not get the democratic nomination. If she does, we will have a republican in the White House, whether she wins or loses. Hillary does not represent the greater majority of democrats, and she is the favorite democrat of the republican party.

WHAT A FARCE…..Billy Boy Taking Up and Defending Poor Little Ole Indecisive Hillary? How sad; did she cry? Of Course, it's perfectly fine and O.K. when she tears into the President of the United States, disrespects him and insults him to his face… and calls him stupid! WHO does she think she is? Hillary is finally getting back the 'venom she's been spewing' to 'those boys.' Hillary is not intelligent enough to be President of this country; she just 'thinks' she is smart. Yes, Hillary is a 'smart-alec.' SAVE US FROM HILLARY!

I am having trouble understanding the people who are too thick skulled to understand that Hillary IS NOT able to release the records–it has been stated by people in charge of that,that they are government records, so the Clintons CAN NOT just "drag a few boxes out of the basement and hand them over" or whatever you birdbrains expect.
And the people who want her to answer YES or NO to the immigration thing. Good grief, folks, this isn't a question about what we will allow at the next cub scout meeting. This is the whole U.S. There are a LOT of questions that can't be answered with a yes or no as to what a candidate will do in a year and a half if they get elected. Alot can happen in that time. It would be incredibly irresponsible of them to give a yes or no.
I respect Hillary's intelligence on this, but it scares me that the IQ of a lot of the voters (if we can judge by some of the posts on here) seem to be too low to see a lot of this.
We need Hillary, and she is the one with the plans. Obama and Edwards are the ones who only know how to attack her, rather than giving their plans.
I pray we get Hillary for president–I don't know what will happen to the USA if we don't. We may be too far gone for even her and Bill to straighten out this mess.

If Hilary needs Bill to defend her during the election process, what happens IF she is elected to the Office of President of the United States? Is Bill going to have a show down with the bullies in other countries?

I think Bill just made his wife the little girl in the race.

When the campaign is rosy we see Hillary everywhere - when the going gets tough we see Bill.

Come on Hillary run on your own merit, defend yourself, let us know what you believe in. Stop taking credit for your husbands Presidency, stop using Bill to raise your money and stop using Bill to defend you. If you cannot stand on your own two feet you have no business running for President. I guarantee you some of the questions you will have to answer as President will make that debate look like a debutant ball.

I wrote a positive remark about Hillary Clinton and it was not displayed here. Is the person monitoring this site not willing to display positive remarks about her.
Everyone I know is voting for her.

Why hasn't anyone mentioned that poppy Bush has come out to defend his boy, Georgie, telling people to get off his son's back about the war? Isn't this the same thing? And are these kinds of issues IMPORTANT?????? Geez!Let's get serious. There are really important issues out there to deal with.

I been reading a lot of stories and no body has not give me a good reason why I shouldn't vote for Hillary. It like watching soap TV shows. Sad part if people look at history of political same old story over again. Where are the real stories on fix of the USA. Hillary been pop up with the right answers all long. She has my vote until I start reading real stories why I shouldn't?

Hillary is pathetic…she has to have Bill come to her defense each time there's a little controversy.

HOW IN THE WORLD COULD SHE EVER BE PRESIDENT IF SHE CAN'T ANSWER QUESTIONS BY HERSELF?

The Clinton handlers have tried to control everything about what she says, what she has to answer, how she sets up the appearances, etc.

THANKFULLY WE'RE STARTING TO SEE THE REAL HILLARY…AND SHE IS NOT READY TO BE PRESIDENT.

I'm glad you came around, Bill. I know you historically always like it when boys attack girls.

At least you're now being consistent with your wife.

Nice flip-flop Bill. Did you read some polls which found the American people find your "explanations" to be defensive, over the top, and hurting her campaign?

So NOW it's a good thing the "boys" are being tough on her?

Before it was "swiftboating"… but a week later it's a good thing.

Uh huh. Maybe you and Hillary are simply doing/saying anything to get elected. Sorry to tell you, though, "desperation" isn't a political virtue.

Thanks but No Thanks to the Clintons.

"Clinton has repeatedly said her rivals are teaming up against her because she is leading in polls, not because she is the lone female presidential candidate."

Ok…. BOTH OF THOSE REASONS ARE WRONG!!!!!!

Her opponents are attacking her POSITIONS because they are ambiguous. They are attacking her POSITIONS because there are at least 3 other dem. candidates with better positions.

The great respect I had for Bill is waning in his blind support for his wife!

It figures that the first 3 to comment here are "boys," and two of them can say nothing else but the vacuous lines their conservative masters have fed them.

Chris from Middletown, CT, though no doubt NOT Wesleyan University affliated, wouldn't know a straight answer to any sort of question even if it slapped him in the face. Does he ever post anything here but white-bread conservative talking points?

Mac from Maryland, who obviously has fallen for the Republican ploy of calling the Democratic Party the "Democrat party," (does Mac wear a collar and leash?) tries to measure from his armchair an individual's presidential strength or weakness by, of course, reading an article that doesn't include even a single statement made by Hillary. What's he using for measuring? Let me guess = the length of her skirt? He'd probably make these silly comments about any female running for the office.

Geesh. Males can be so simple-minded.

What next, guys? Gonna double-dog-dare Clinton to "arm rassle ya"?

Why don't you try to put a little intellectual depth into your comments instead of only reguritating the Republican slops you've been sucking down?

"Hillary has repeatedly said rivals are teaming up against her because she's leading.." That's not true, she just started saying that recently after she got criticized for playing the victim and characterizing legitimate challenges as "boys attacking the girl". Which Bill seems to still be doing. She also keeps asking us to "look at her record of success over the past 35 years", yet when she and Bill won't let anyone have access to those very records until 2012.

"The President of the United States has to be able to stand up to the thugs and tyrants that exist in this world"

************************

Apparently he has to stand up to the thugs of the Domestic variety too. Like him, or hate him, GW had withstood more abuse and verbal assault than this woman could stand.

Whoa!

I agree that Bill's reaction is "out of school" but it's to be expected. Hillary isn't being attacked as a person, Senator or candidate. Here positions, or I should say lack of same are.

The rest of the Democratic candidates are well within their rights to question her stand, cite opposition and comparisons etc. This is part of the process. Bill's protesting a bit too much and again raising questions of just who is running.

Let him spout, but hold her feet to the fire.

I still don't get why people would vote for her. Even if you get past (and I don't know how you do) the voting for the Iraq war, voting for the Patriot act and other Bushish laws, and her taking money from lobbyists and other undesirable backers, what do people think she'll accomplish in the white house? Can anyone explain to me how they expect her to gain bi-partisan support for any chances she wants to make? Whatever you think of her, there is no question she's a divisive person. Her health care plans will never go through. Assuming she ever does, when she decides to take a stand on any of the major issues (immigration, social security, medicade) they will fight her tooth and nail. No change of any kind will come with her in the White House. So I dare you Hillary supporters, dispute that!

Hillary is to weak to become the president. As a democrat I will not vote for her unless she is the only one. Her husband is not much better. I am tired of Clintons and tired of Bushs. We need a new name in the white house.

I think we need to ask Bill what his definition of "tough" is.

Way to play the gender card, Billary.

Well Bill, If she can handle it then what are you doing this defensive husband routine for? I suppose considering she put up with what you did she probably is pretty tough. Very evasive with answers we need though. Reminds me of someone else asked a question about having sex and the answer wasn't exactly forthcoming.

The arrogance of the Clintons is beyond contempt. Hillary's refusal to answer questions and release documents from the Clinton library to back up her claim of "experience" do no make her tough - it makes her arrogant. It shows how little she thinks of the citizens of this country.

We do not need another arrogant president. We need a leader with good judgement and convictions.

We do not need any more years of the Clintons personal battles with everyone who disagrees with them.

The candidates are defining themselves against their rivals. It is no ones fault but Clinton's that people are finally questioning her. If she had any answers and truly knew how to lead there would not be a problem.

I like Bill Clinton. But lately I've been wondering if he really wants his wife to win the nomination, or if he's trying to subtly undermine her campaign. His presence is obviously overall a good thing for the campaign, but some of the things he's said certainly haven't helped her.

Assuming we are stupid enought to elect this woman………

Pres Hillary Clinton finished addressing the UN General Assembly and the Sec General says
