CNN

Hello everybody,
Is everything fine? How are you?

maybe people will start to wake up and catch a glimpse of the socialist route that these unpatriotic left wing panty wastes, including Hillary, are trying to take our country... they are using the media to push their communistic values and take our freedom one drop at a time!!! WAKE UP PEOPLE!!!! first they take us away from GOD, then they'll slowly scare us out of our freedom, including the right to bear arms, which will leave us at their mercy!!!!

CNN has not be fair to Hillary. This news article and another article about the negative comment from an obama supporter do not represent fair journalism.

CNN never reports similar topics on these two topics about Obama.

Hilary was booed because she can't give a straight answer to anything and people are sick of it. Iowa doesn't like her. She should go somehwere else where there are more corporate companies for her to support.

That is part of Hillary's problem, she is afraid to take a public stand on most issues. Giving us the standard "wish-washy" answer on illegal immigration (among other things) makes me seriously doubt that she would make a good president.

The issue of illegal immigration has been an issue for many decades. No party can claim their innocence. I would like to see an estimate as to the number illegal immigrants over the past 25 years. You probably could make the case that more illegals immigrants entered the US during the Clinton Administration that the previous Bush Administrations, Reagan Administration or Carter Administration. Our economy grew very good under Bill Clinton's watch but illegal immigration wasn't highly discussed or resolved. If I will an illegal immigrant the 1990s would have been a good time to move to the US due to the strong economy.

Food for Thought!

Obama in '08!

To all Clinton detractors: Cowards tell other cowards what they want to hear. A courageous person tells people what they need to hear. Hillary is doing just that! The Republicans caused this illegal-immigration mess, and many other messes, and if you narrow-minded HRC detractors think that their way is the correct (right to you) way – then I suggest that you really enjoy trying to shove a well cooked piece of spaghetti up a wildcat’s azz.
National Debt debates any one? How about the mortgage crisis? Iraq? What about a discussion on health care, foreign trade or energy strategy? GET OFF the immigration issue and ON TO something that has a reasonable solution.
And for you folks in Des Moines, Iowa I had a friend one time that came down with a terminal disease, and his doctor told him that he had only 6-months to live. When I heard about my friend’s dismal circumstances, I asked what he was going to do. He replied that he was going to move to Des Moines, Iowa. I asked “why are you moving to Des Moines, Iowa when you have only 6 months to live. My friend answered by saying, “because, in Des Moines 6 months seems like 2 years.”

this lady just doesn't get it. funny how she is booed like that when we got to see her cheered at the last debate. kinf of reinforces the fact that the crowd was planted by CNN to cheer her and boo Obama.

HILALRY'S ADVANTAGE OVER OBAMA IN THE LATEST POLLS IN EARLY STATES:

Michigan – 31 pts
Florida – 30 pts
Nevada – 25 pts
South Carolina – 24 pts
New Hampshire – 9 pts

I'll vote for the candidate, regardless of party, who has the guts to stand up to these special interest groups and say "actually, no I won't create a path of citizenship for people who have such contempt of our laws. We have immigration laws in place that have worked for many years. The only reform needed, is to actually enforce those laws and penalize those who do not respect or follow our laws". Its ridiculous that our government is bending to the whims of these special interest groups instead of enforcing the laws they swore to when they took office.

just antoher example of how Iowans are low class hillbillies. If they have no response more intelligent than a boo they should keep their mouths shut.

How typical...

Reminds me of when she went to the Police and Fire officers tribute right after 9/11. At the concert given for them all the dignitaries got up to talk and say how much they appreciated the "heroes" of 9/11 (police and fire) and she was booed right off the stage.
She couldn't make her remarks they continued so long. That is her home state now, actually the City she spends most of her "pre-campaign" time in.

It says something.

"if obama wins it will be proof that american democracy is alive and well, a govt of the people for the people, obama will be sworn in and the american people, would have won, there is a reason america is still the greatest, its our values!

Yes, we had something called communism in Europe... as you said it was something like 'a govt of the people for the people'. Many countries are still paying the price of that vision.

Well here is the thing, what you have here is a little property in physics called momentum. And clearly Hillary is losing it.

DENNIS KUCINICH

"He has been working for the rights of immigrants for decades,"

Define the "rights"of illegal immigrants.

Define the "rights"of legal immigrants.

Nobody wants to hear what she has to say.

The position of giving all the illegal immigrants immediate citizenship is so liberal and crazy that even I, a young democrat, am appalled. I may not back Hillary for President, but she is absolutely right that immigration reform, and thus the security of the borders, must come first. Only a small portion of the country actually wants all the illegals to become citizens, and this issue could cost the Democrats everyrthing if they're not careful.

Senator Clinton is a master of evasiveness.

Adoption Law Pennsylvania

You know who received the loudest applause? DENNIS KUCINICH! He has been working for the rights of immigrants for decades, and he is the only candidate with a proven track record of standing up for what's right, for the best interests of the people. And he will win the election.

But how, you wonder?? Go to www dot december152007 dot com today!

Once again Hillary fails to please anyone by thinking she can please everyone by insulting them with vague generalities. When foolish, star-struck people blithely gush over her "leadership" qualities I honestly don't know whether to laugh or cry.

We deserve so much better.

Senator Clinton did give a straight answer this time. She actually said she IS for comprehensive immigration reform. But her answer on the procedure of legislation made her sound like a bureaucrat, not a leader. We need a leader with clear principles. We don't need a president sitting in the White House just to collect paychecks. She could do that at Wal-Mart, but not in our White House.

Out of all Democrats, I like Governor Richardson the best, because he has the best qualifications of all in the pack. Neither Obama nor Clinton is qualified in my opinion. But Obama is a lot more sincere than Clinton. I like neither his race card nor her gender/race cards.

If the candidate cannot go beyond any minority groups and think for our country as a whole, he or she is not qualified to lead us. It would be nice to have a woman and/or black as our president. But he or she has to be the best qualified of ALL candidates. We simply cannot afford to apply affirmative actions to this most important office in the world.

Being a naturalized citizen and an Independent, I will never vote for another Clinton or Bush as I want to leave dynasty behind for good. I came for democracy and the rule of law. You don't know how important it is to you and your children till you lost it.

However, having Hillary back in the White House is not the same as having G.W. Bush in the WH. The parent does not live in the WH with the child if the child is old enough to be president. If the couple stays married, both would live in the WH together for the maximal of 16 years. That's why we need term limits to a married couple in the White House. Living in the WH for 16 years will make anybody feel like royalty and disconnected from the people, whom the president is supposed to represent.

Our forefathers did not foresee the involvement of women in politics in 1787 so they did not think of setting presidential term limits to a couple. Time has changed and it's high time for us to do a Constitutional amendment.

Oh my God! So low standards Americans? White House becoming the centre of easy talk? Not that bringing Obama and Michelle there would be much different. It would be a good laugh around the world.

Go Hillary! AS ALWAYS, STILL SHE GIVES THE BEST ANSWERES TO DIFFICULT QUESTIONS, UNLIKE OBAMA WHO STEALS HIS OPPONNETS ANSWERS BECAUSE HE ISNT EXPEREINCED ENOUGH TO THINK ON HIS OWN. IOWANS ARE LOOKING MIGHTY FOOLED BY OBAMA WINPHREY.

Love it! Obama's gotta go. He is a joke – I can't handle how people think (again we think there is a huge conspiracy here) he is all that. For the person that said the racial remark about not voting for a black president that was uncalled for. It's not his color – its his stupidity that gets to me. Cuz you gotta agree he must be stupid to think he has a chance.

Electing Barack Osama,Obama,is like electing Bush all over again. Why do we want somebody that has no experience in the White House? We have gone through that with the idiot that resides there now. Osama,Obama has no experience and just like Bush he will do a lot of damage to our country. I don't say the former first lady is the one,but at least she has knowledge of what goes on in our government. Being in the White House for eight years and being around President Clinton should help her quit a bit. Why do we want to make the same mistake again? I say,one Bush is enough.

Hillary wants to give 10 million illegals immunity at the same time she wants to mandate new laws on me. How can I vote for that??

i would never boo a canidate,i think she answered correctly.that forum was a joke anyway.

well im voting biden his expierence is over the top of all democrats..i hope he gets in,and this obama oprah thing,its a race card she has never voted in 15 years...and now she wants him president ..i beelive he should go work at harpo to...and get some expierence first.i have a friend who travels all over that area, and he was on that road and seen those busses of kids coming in from chicago to iowa they had signs n the bus windows obama,,now is he getting all them people to cacus from illinois...thats cheating i think,what about real iowans..

Hillary gave the same type of answer that every politican gives when asked a direct question. Dance around it and give no real yes or no to it. Proving yet again how she and all the other candidates who claim to be for "changing Washington" really don't.

Although I am against booing and wouldn't have if I had been there, Clinton deserves it.

She gave her usual vague answer that left the heavy lifting to others(congress). She has no idea, but if president she will look at what congress puts in front of her. Wow – now that's leadership.

The vague non-answers worked for Bill, but after 8 years of him and then 8 years of Bush, the non-sheeplike citizens of this country are demanding more.

Clinton and Bush were the two most divisive presidents our country has ever seen – we don't need a repeat of that with putting the Clintons back in the whitehouse. Remember, it was Clinton I that single-handedly lost the congress to the republicans.

Obama is certain (in his mind) that all he needed was Oprah??? That great IOWANS will support him for that reason…this guy thinks we all are idiots!
Again this guy is showing lack of good judgement, sense and experience…
HOW DARE YOU OBAMA THINK IOWA IS STUPID ENOUGH TO SUPPORT YOU ONLY BECAUSE OPRAH SAID SO…?
CLINTON has been working extremely hard and successfully reaching out to those of us who are interested in the issues and fixing this mess bush/chaney has made in 8 yrs, not the color of her skin when it benefits her. Obama tries to be a black man in Harlem, but wants to be a white man everywhere else…
HE IS THE ULTIMATE EXAMPLE OF A FLIP FLOPPER!!!
Send this guy to HARPO Productions, not the White House!

Clinton can't manage her house hold let alone America she is used to seconds

Mrs. Clinton was "booed" because, as usual, she did not give a straight answer to the question posed to her....
" a conversation, a dialogue" was NOT what the questioner wanted, it was a STRAIGHT ANSWER!! Haven't we had enough of word game answers from Bush?

Oh we ARE awake here in Iowa. Don't you worry about that.
However Hillary has passed away in our book/Seems like the undertakers just won't bury her.
Reminds me what my Good Old Dad said to me with a SMILE! If you don't bury me when I die/ I'm going to make a big
stink about it/ nuf said
Alive in Iowa (and well to thank You)

Thanks Hillary, for an honest, stright-forward answer. So unlike Obama who, at the last debate, nearly swallowed his tongue while trying to stammer out an answer about drivers' licenses for illegal aliens. (Well-earned boos there, too, but we didn't hear much about that.) You are strong, brilliant, dedicated, and ready to lead our nation. I can't wait for you to take office so our great country can begin healing. GO HILLARY!!

I am so sick of all the whining negative comments about Hillary Clinton. She is one of the smartest and most dedicated leaders we have in this nation. She knows how to get things done, cares about working America and will bring back the leadership and light that we used to have in the eyes of the world!
I like John Edwards, Barack Obama, love Joe Biden and hope that they will all have a place of leadership in the next American government.

Stop listening to the right wing media spin- Hillary Clinton is an intelligent and proven leader and I hope she is the next President of the United States. What a relief to have the war mongering , war profiteering, dishonest and traitorous Bushies out of office! I cannot wait

How interesting the news was regarding Bill Clinton's stand on the war in Iraq. He came out saying he had opposed it from the beginning (sounds like he thinks more like Obama than his wife). It's funny considering there are those who strongly support Hillary thinking she will run the country as Bill would, since she gained sooooo much presidential experience from him. They think she will have him to help her with these HUGE difficult decisions. Seems she messed up on the one that could have helped shape our country into a very different and much more positive direction, had she only listened to her husband....and of course, read the paperwork. What a sham she will be if elected president. More of the same, corrupt, misguided government we have seen for the past seven years now.

Geez Jennifer, where were you during the prior debate when the audience did the opposite-booing Obama and Edwards? Were they the RUDE Clinton supporters you fail to mention here?

"Those who booed are obama/edwards supporters. That also shows that they are rude people, while the clinton's supporters are polite people.

Clinton should deserve the courtesy that her supporters have given to obama and edwards.

(WATCH ALL DEBATES BEFORE SPEWING AN UNFOUNDED ARGUEMENT SUCH AS THIS)

Posted By Jennifer, des moines, iowa

GO OBAMA "08

I do agree that booing is extremely juvenile, but we have seen it amongst supporters of all sides.

Memo to Hillary and her staff: the question should have been answered with a "yes" or "no."

It is sad, but inevitable, that Hillary Clinton is beginning to respond to questions as if she were Mitt Romney, Rudy Giuliani or one of the other Republican candidates.

Most educated, open-minded Americans are looking for straightfoward answers from candidates of either party. Maybe someday one of those seeking the presidency will figure that out.

I was born and raised in Iowa and I know they won't stand for evasive answers. They want straight answers. Hillary's answers are evasive and vague. She's so afraid of saying something wrong that she says things wrong. Not presidential material.

Comprehensive immigration reform or amnesty is opposed by an overwhelming majority of people, despite political party affiliation. The path to legal citizenship, starts with the individuals feet, planted firmly on there legal home soil and going through the proper processes.

"I have been reading the comments and every one seems to think that illegal aliens are taking away job from American people. Someone might want to look at the jobs they are actually taking. The jobs they perform most "Americans" wouldn't deign themselves to do. "
--
These are the LIES the pro-illegal groups having been shelling out for years. Truth is, when you're unemployed and you can't feed your family, you'll take any job you can get. There are no jobs "that Americans don't want."
There were 3 stories last year about miners dying in a mine collapse hundreds of feet underground. So how can you say there are jobs :Americans won't do?"

There are jobs that Americans won't do for the wages companies want to pay. People here need to make enough to survive, and Americans don't want to have 28 people living in the same house, all working for $5 an hour under the table. If companies ay a fair wage, Americans will work. But they'd rather pay the illegals less and not hire Americans – THAT'S the truth.

And you just can't be that short sighted. Even if the illegals here now are taking some jobs that Americans wouldn't do: their kids are attending the same schools are and are getting same education our kids are getting – and for free. So their kids will be citizens by virtue of being born here (and that's ALOT of kids) and they will be competing with our kids for the same jobs down the line.

Immigration is a hot topic. And the longer we wait to deal with it, the HARDER it is going to be to deal with. Especially if 30 or 40 million illegals get amnesty and the right to vote.

I love all this negative response for Hillary. She deserves it

Hillary is looking forward to bankrupting this country more than it is now if she gets in.

Of course she was booed, her position on ILLEGAL aliens is not what the majority of citizens want. She talks about how Congress/Senate needs to pass immigration overhaul, however, every time there is a bill, it includes AMNESTY for the law-breaking ILLEGAL aliens which Americans are OPPOSED to. So, when Congress/Senate can finally Enforce our current laws, SECURE our borders with a zero tolerance mentality, then and ONLY then can we deal with who is left here ILLEGALY. But by her saying she votes in favor of immigration overhaul side-steps the issue that first we need to secure our borders and go after business that hire the ILLEGALS.

Im an Independent Voter and have not heard from a single Democrat that wants to fix the problem. Perhaps a few Repubicans have said they would. In any case, Hillary lost my support even as NY Senator in my state when she continually wants to just give blanket amnesty without first addressing the broken borders.

i have a feeling that her flip flopping and pandering are comming home to roost...to bad...

Where the video? You guys do it to others? Where's the

"watch Hillary get boooooooooed"

link?

Why would any one think this election could be won for any other reason then moral, social, economical, or environmental strength? If your view point is one from any other reasoning system, then perhaps you shouldn't vote.

Personally I am seeking a candidate that provides the best possible results for the country as a whole. I don't care what feelings they recieve from a room full of emotion that they are only able to read in person. That room full of people already knew where they stood on the topic, the question was where does she stand. I want a candidate, regardless of race, gender, religion, etc, who knows their own opinion and gives that when asked. We have fallen into voting for a party instead of a candidate who most closely resembles our own beliefs. I think we would all be shocked to find out that we neither believe completely Democrat nor completely Republican views. Voting with our true beliefs could put this country back on track. Therefore, "boilerplate" answers are absolutely unacceptable from any candidate...President, Senate, Mayoral...the only way to vote truly with your beliefs is to find out what the candidates TRULY believes. Clinton deserved to be booed for trying to fool a room full of intelligent people into voting for her non-committing answers.

I think it is interesting how so many comment on Obama's "honesty", tho it is obvious that most saying this don't even know what honesty they are referring to–they are just parroting other posts.
I would like to note that most 6 year olds are honest. But does that make them capable and experienced?? Honesty is surely a great quality, but it doesn't make him a capable person to run our huge and great country. He needs EXPERIENCE and good judgement in addition to h is honesty, and I don't think he has the experience yet.
Go, Hillary!

The President is not all powerful..the legislature passes laws. Funny, when Mr. Hucklberry "side stepped" issues he was considered charming. Truthfull–Hillary is no a socialist party candidate–so some of the far left–need to look at joining the Socialist Party and not the Democratic Party. Despite what the Republicans may say–she is in support of our capitalist and republican ideals as a nation. The fact that a growing number of Americans clearly see this as a great alternative to the "corporate welfare", military industrial driven Republican Party–is scaring the pants off of them. There are other ways to keep our nation safe, provide world leadership, and restore the economy–than cowtowing to the energy, financial, and military defense industries with exhorbitant grants, tax loopholes, and "preferred customer" status in Washington and the White House. Americans are seeking a candidate that puts them first for a change, and her rising popularity shows the message is working. Despite GOP attacks–even independents and moderate Republicans are taking a second look!

I love how she continually throws out that term "comprehensive". WE AREN"T DUMB. YOU ARE NOT TRICKING US. WE KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS. Just say amnesty if that is what you believe.

At least McCain has finally got it right. SECURE THE BORDER FIRST. Then deal with the 12 million here!

Why do you need to be in the room to feel our emotional energy? You don't have to, to know how America thinks and feels! We have made it pretty clear what we want. We can't help it if Washington DC chooses to be disconnected and clueless from America. A politician of this kind won't get my VOTE!!

She was booed in Iowa, because the voters in Iowa know that Hillary is not right choice in 2008. And Richarson will tell you that Hillary would not make a good VP, let alone Pres.

As long as we are talking about immigration, we ARE NOT talking about the war in Iraq, the price of gasoline, or the faltering economy. Do you feel that we are being manipulated? I do and refuse to be taken in by this misdirection!

I AM SOOOO F'ING SICK OF AIR-HEAD MORONS WHO SAY "THIS COUNTRY WAS STARTED BY IMMIGRANTS"

How the hell many times do we have to ask the question of them:
"What part of ILLEGAL do you idiots not understand?"

These illegals broke into our country.
What would you do if someone broke into your house?
My country IS my house..open to INVITED guests.
There is a PROCESS to be invited into my country.
If someone broke into your house, you'd call the cops and throw them out.
If someone breaks into your country, why would you not do the same?

IS THAT SIMPLE ENOUGH FOR YOU MORONS TO UNDERSTAND??????

In the article, I notice that Ms Yellin uses the term "progressive activists" to refer to liberals. (They use to be "liberals" before they wrecked that title, so now they call themselves "progressives"). Anyway, Ms Yellin's use of the new term shows whose side she's on, as clearly as if she had a sign on her back.

Havin read post after post resorting to name calling and other mindless drivel, I had to double-check that I was on CNN's site and not TMZ's. Can't anyone express their views without sucumbing to playground tactics? Grow up!

down with obama winphrey

Hi to the person who believes that we are dumping on Hillary, that is not the case. Hillary has an opportunity to give straight forward answers. America is changing we want the real deal.

Regarding Rudy building up the military, I believe Senator Obama has stated the first thing he will do is rebuild the military, but he is also looking at capturing Osa Bin Laden, something the republicans don't want to talk about, they want to use terms to scare people without really taking care of the terrorist.

Anyway – a real strong President is not afraid to tell the truth or to fight the real enemy.

that's my 2 cents and I'm sticking to it.

Let the bashing begin!

For those people who read the article, pointing out that she did give an honest and useful answer, thank you.

For everyone who said she sidestepped...where? She answered the people with a straight, fair answer, and got booed for it. She practically said that she would do her best to enact new reforms, but would need Congress to help out in doing so.

Where do people find this offensive? I am against illegal immigration, with the fact that many legal immigrants give to a valued part of our massive melting-pot culture. I bneleive that those people who cross without legal blessings are either impovershed or willed to do illegal acts within the country. This, in essence, is Mexico's problem as well as ours.

She gave an honest, starightforward and experienced answer to a question that has plagued the White House for years now. From what i'm reading, the people of Iowa don't want immigration reform.

So, who is in the wrong here?

Mac from GA, once again like all blind apologists you miss the point. "Jobs Americans won't do" is an old, feeble line that's been around for years. The truth is, illegals subvert the entire labor system by staving off proper supply and demand. If you can't hire veg pickers @ 5-10 dollars per hour, pay 20-25. All of a sudden, those jobs might look attractive to Americans. Then all the paper pushing yuppies might find their cushy jobs radically devalued, when a dramatic turn in the economy realizes their intrinsic worth at zero.
I'm opting out. I'm a middle-aged, middle-income moderate. I'm sick of seeing extremists of the political system drag this country down. A bad idea would be to have children in a society which won't appreciate their own citizens as manual laborers; instead of importing an underclass of untouchables.
This country and its citizens will never appreciate their workers until they become as scarce as diamonds on the beach. It's well past time for American industry to endure a severe labor shortage. There's no other way to get equitable treatment. Only then will the worker get any respect from his employer. Until then, stop feeding society your children, you poor idiots!

I'd have booed Hillary too. Vote Libertarian, or vote for the same old problems.

Go Hillary! AS ALWAYS, STILL SHE GIVES THE BEST ANSWERES TO DIFFICULT QUESTIONS, UNLIKE OBAMA WHO STEALS HIS OPPONNETS ANSWERS BECAUSE HE ISNT EXPEREINCED ENOUGH TO THINK ON HIS OWN. IOWANS ARE LOOKING MIGHTY FOOLED BY OBAMA WINPHREY.

I won't even get into the fact that Hillary Clinton has a greater capability than any politician I've ever seen to hold every conceivable position on an issue simultaneously. What jumped out at me is that being pro-criminal is now seen as "progressive." I myself think there are better adjectives. "Disgusting" jumps to mind.

Congratulations to Iowans. They are seeing through the "typical" washington politician.

It seems Hillary has not improved after all this time.

What is she saying – that she can't do anything unless Congress pass the bill?

If this is all she sees, then she can't do much when she is in the White House.

So much for the so called experience.

I feel sad for you Hillary, having spent most of your life in politics, yet I don't see you have leadership skills.

A leader leads. A leader should have the confidence that he/she can push things through, primarily through persuasion. And with the answer that you have just given, it does not give me the confidence that you can push things through.

If you believe in comprehensive immigration, then make the case for it. Persuade them that this is the way to go. Now people have problems – mainly their insecurities – ie. job insecurities that they believe is partially due to illegal immigrants willing to work for lower pay. People are in pain, and when they are in pain, their views can be distorted, and you have to address their pain. It's not a simple problem to solve, because there are many factors involve, but if you believe comprehensive immigration is the way to go, then make a case for it.

There are people who are afraid and feel threatened by 'illegals', but there are also people who believe that people are 'children of God', and as such, they should be treated decently, and there's no such thing as an 'illegal alien'. You have to make a choice, and lay out your strategy on how to get there.

With all the clutter surrounding any/everything,i dont even know where to comment, but i for one am a little livid at the fact that i just saw on the CNN-Youtube spot that another god fearing politican is making yet another attempt at derailing the scientific community's effort by saying we cannot "afford" to go to mars. Has he even been watching anything at all in the past decade on global warming? Doesent he/we all benifit from the impact of even just the basics from what NASA has contributed, he benifits are too many to list, and the research from even an attempt at Mars, or what we could/will learn from going their could be profoundly spectacular. Furthermore im even more astounded that other religionist's can blatenly take it upon themselves to accuse those with different views like being an athiest, of being outright negetave and bad people...case in point, their was a brief debate recently about the "meaning" behind the movie recently released called 'The Golden Compass', and how parents should keep their kids protected from it because of the religious/anti-religious themes and the possibility it could lead to Athiest beliefs. Their is alot i and many could argue on these two subjects alone, but if alot of people out their would just open their eyes to what could be...or even what IS and has been proven they could understand that religion and science could (in some ways) lean toward one another instead of repeatedly attacking and using eack other as an excuse, an Athiest person is just proactive and is open to rational judgement, a person trying to go to mars is far too busy to go out of their way to stop into a church and show an allready proven science theory to try to convince someone who is devoutly convinced toward their belief, The trial held in Colarado concerning "Science Vs God" is something that anyone arguing either side of the subject should see. Science, and people who make the attempt to understand the basic outline of it, has absolutely no reason at all to use religion or god in any way to make itself look better, so why do those who are pro-religion...or in politics...etc. try to combat what they themselves arent even involved in in the first place....

I have been reading the comments and every one seems to think that illegal aliens are taking away job from American people. Someone might want to look at the jobs they are actually taking. The jobs they perform most "Americans" wouldn't deign themselves to do. And if we are removing illegal aliens because they are a drain on the economy, then why haven't we removed those fit workers who are consistently on welfare. I guess it is easier to justify an American-born citizen sitting on the porch drinking than for someone who wants to make a better life for their family doing whatever it takes to make that happen. Funny thing is, that is exactly what our ancestors did.

Hillary is out of touch with the voters, but so is the Republican party. Their debate failed to include Iraq or the economy. Will we need to kill the rich before they understand Americans want to improve their standard of living, not regress?

Hillary has NOTHING to offer any of you. There will be no extra handouts for the Lib supporters (beggars).

At least the GOP cut my taxes and gave less of my money to pathetic losers.

What has the Lib Congress done for you......NOTHING.

This is the only issue (immigration) that will keep me from voting.

I wonder how will these candidates (pro immigration) feel if an illegal alien used their SSN and vital info. Actually since their politicians they can just wipe it out of their records but what about ordinary people?

These illegals have more rights than US citizens. Take for instance the landscaper, who's an illegal alien, attack by a dog because he and people provoke the dog. The illegal collected $250,000 and they want to euthanize the dog? if that's their dog and attack you can you collect $250,000 from illegal alien?

I think I'll vote for Ron Paul.

Margaret Waterloo, I think you should check up your ear, eye and heart. Charles, Lansing, Hillary gave a correct and honest answer, you should ask Bush-Cheney if you are not happy. Jonathan, Florida, you are right, Republicans and Obama supporters don't remember how our government works, they are bold in word only.

AND WHO WANTS A BLACK PRESIDENT??? NOT ME!!!!

You must be part of the blind faith Clinton supporter. A typical Moron Clinton supporter A Racist Democrat????? What is shocking you are from Atlanta Georgia !!!

You are part of the Left Wing Nut cases that will push the Republicans to win the election.

GO Bidden
GO Obama

The only two that can UNITE the country. Not by further Dividing the country. And the only experience Clinton brings is 35 years of dividing the country even further. Bush done enough already for the past 8 years with Bill additional 8 years. 16 years of dividing is enough. We don’t need a another 4 years on top of it.

STATUS QUO=Bush=Clinton =16 years of failure

The Best two Obama and Biddenfor 2008

say NO to status quo= say NO to clinton

The headline of this should've been CLINTON BOOED BY OBAMA SUPPORTERS BUSSED IN FROM CHICAGO BY THE HUNDREDS...
http://www.politico.com/blogs/bensmith/

'The group, despite the Iowa location of this event, appears to have brought a large portion of the couple thousand people here from Chicago (they keep cheering at the mention of the city, and the Gamaliel Foundation, for which Obama was once an organizer, chartered two buses) and the questions are heavily focused on issues related to immigration, punctuated by the occasional chant of "Si se puede."'

The far left is as bad (and nutty) as the far right. The question that illicited the boos was "would you inact legislation to give illegal immigrants a path to citizenship in your first 100 days". A non-lying (and dare I say moral…) candidate will give the response Hillary did. A lying and pandering candidate will say "yes" and give the answer that Dodd gave.

By the way, the boos were coming from the Chicago group (90% of them wearing "Obama" t-shirts), which made up OVER half of the attendees…If it had been in reverse and Obama was booed (as he was at the Nevada debate) all of the Obama supporters would be saying "Hillary is horrible. How dare she have her supporters boo Obama." Give me a brea.

=========

I'm with you, the magic word to that question is "legislate". HRC gave them a truthful answer the people of Obama booed her. She can't legislate it, it doesn't belong to the Executive branch, but legislative branch.

Reading comments of some people here labeling her as "non-committal", it's apparent, some people here don't understand the three branches of our government and its function. No wonder Bush was able to get away with a LOT of things and destroy this country.

Honestly, if Clinton wins the nomination, I've lost all hope in our democracy. Thank you, adults, for this awesome future you're leaving for us "young'ins".

The Clintons have a long history of Hispanic love. It runs in the family on Hillary's side

http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9C03E0DD1539F931A15751C0A9679C8B63&n=Top/Reference/Times%20Topics/People/C/Clinton,%20Bill

the booing is unacceptable, but Clinton's answer was lame, and made more lame by the fact that she is the candidate who will be least able to work with congress. Obama said he would not wait until he was inaugurated to take action, but would, as president-elect, immediately call leaders of activist groups to help set his presidency's agenda. That's presidential. Senator Obama, by the way, got a standing ovation. When the mother of a little girl told her story, Cathy Hughes took the little girl by the hand and led her to the Senator. This tall gracious man leaned down and hugged the little girl like one of his own. This man touches us all.

Well, I think that Hillary Clinton should be President... What's this country affraid of??? A woman might make us great again... oh, what a shame, looks what has happened with the President we have now.. what a joke... I think it's about time women show the men of our lands that we are strong and we can do just as good a job if not better..

I don't know about the rest of this country, but I think we should have Hillary Clinton for President. Women have been cleaning up mens messes for years and I think she will clean up our country and make America a proud country again, now that men have dug a hole and has almost buried us. Give a woman a chance to prove that women can be strong. Look how she stuck to her husband after his little fling in the white house wing. Bill Clinton wasn't unfaithful to this coutry, just his wife. She stuck by him no matter what and I think she'll stick to making our country a better place to live. Men has always tried to run things and as usual, look what's happened..Women know how to keep house, let's let her get the job done...

Have you ever seen a live session at the British Parliament chamber?

The parliament members would do more than just booing to show their dissatisfaction or disagreement with the speaker any time.

I think booing is a civilized expression. If the voters do not have a chance to speak, what else do you expect them to do? Are the voters only allowed to applaud? Then what is the difference between our election and the Chinese election? Have we lost our mind or freedom of speech?

What really bugs me is how some people treat Hillary as if she were the princess. This is what happens when you have one spouse after the other in the White House. Father and son is not as bad.

Global spread of democracy is stalled and worsened in the United States if we elect Hillary.

http://www.csmonitor.com/2007/1121/p01s02-usgn.html

What can we say of Chevez or Putin's elections? We are practically doing the same thing here if Hillary is elected. There should be a constitutional amendment against spousal continuation of presidency. Two terms is the limit for a couple. You can't blame Hillary for feeling like royal if she is elected. Our fascination with royalty may be the cause of it. Some people forgot why we threw lots of tea into Boston Harbor a while ago.

Would you rather have Pedro, Jesus and Ernesto working in your area and picking your crops and "Making in America" your goods at the local factory… or whould you rather they work at the big American corporate factory in Juarez, Tijuana or or Matamoros…. and keeping their money in Mexico and the only American who make out are the head of the American corporations?

YO!! FV Tampa;
If Pedro and Jesus and Ernsto were back in their own country where they belong, then American citizens could have those jobs. And I'll bet their money will spend just as well.
and you call Iowans stupid.
OBAMA/08!!!!!!!!!

Typical Hillary Clinton, just pull stuff out her buns. Since when your healthcare plan include opening the process to everyone? You have the galls to say you're experienced, when your entire healthcare plan is basically the copied & pasted from John Edwards', and NOW you're copying Obama's open process and adopted it as your own? Do you really think people are that dumb not to notice? Now wonder you're booed. How does it feel to eat your own medicine? WHAT A HIPOCRITE!!

I'm soooo glad you're booed. If you think you and your campaign can push other candidates by having your supporters booing them, YOU DESERVE having those boos thrown back at you.

Here's the full video of Hillary getting booed:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GBU46xnc-EA

The people who booed her are complete idiots. don't they understand that her position is the smartest one to have, considering in a general election the Republicans are going to make it about illegal immigration?

Bless all the Clinton supporters! What a mess the counrty has been in since Bush took over... People DEAD. Yes, you stupid Republican bashers. You helped kill many innocent people. AND WHO WANTS A BLACK PRESIDENT??? NOT ME!!!! So, Hillary (believe it or not) 2008!!!! YEAH!!!!

In more bad news for Clinton, she trails Obama in yet another Iowa poll that was just released tonight!That is starting to be a lot of Iowa polls with Obama on top.

Senator Obama is the most sincere candidate in this race, and will wil our caucus here in Iowa....

GO BARACK! THE ONLY DEMOCRAT WHO CAN TAKE BACK THE WHITE HOUSE IN 08!!!

May The Truth Set You Free

Hilliary=Bush=16 years of failed government

American people are starting to become immune to your spin, lies, smokscreen and see the corpate pawn you are. China and the war profiteers are going to have a harder time to suc the U.S. treasury dry.

FV, Tampa, FL
do you know how many billions of dollars they send back home every year? so yes I would rather have them making those goods in Mexico, Then I wouldn't have to pay for their health care either. I could solve 2 problems at once. Health Care and people entering the country illegally. By the way there are a lot that bring drugs, smuggle people, some of whom are raped and murdered, there a lot of goods ones but we also get a lot of bad ones also. I am american born and would like to see them come here legally.

Sounds like the natives are starting to get restless. I wonder how long Sen. Clinton can keep up the stalling without answering what she's going to do. She's trying to play to the middle, so she doesn't end up getting hammered as inconsistent in the general election if she gets the nomination, but she has to survive the primary first. Right now, that's FAR from a sure thing. So far, there hasn't been any substance to anything she's been asked about, and no one is really throwing her hard questions. The "drivers licenses for undocumented persons" gaffe at the debate hurt her badly, and now she's terrified to put down roots for fear that her next off balance answer will finish her.

A path to citizenship for those illegally here MUST be predicated on securing the boarders from new illegal immigrants entering the country first. Once this is accomplished, then and only then can we begin to offer those here a path to full legal recognition.

"comprehensive immigration reform will be a high priority for me.”

What do people want from her? Its not like she can solve even problem for every person in 100 days.

Her answer was honest and correct. Congress has to pass legislation! Then the president can sign the law.

Have people forgot how our government works?

Hello everyone. Please keep in mind that anyone 'dropping' on this website from outside the US is faced with a very unflattering image of the kind of exchange of ideas that takes place at the 'beacon of democracy'. Is it not possible and more productive to counter ideas with other ideas instead of blasphemy? Get beyond the emotional surface to figure the deeper causes, come up with realistic solutions, present them for debate without the vinegar coating? Focus on what is common to all and use power to build towards it rather than quash and ridicule those that are not of exactly the same opinion?

That said:
You really got the nerve, immigrant-nation post-hairpin course-change, to frown at your likes just a generation or two ago. So lower that stuck-up nose you bunch of overweight, global-warming, overpaid, underworked, aristocratic wannabe CLEPTOXENOPHOBICS!! You start to resemble the Brits you escaped from to begin with!

caramba

Actually for those who didn't watch the whole thing, I watched it and she got booed of her healthcare plan when she tried to answer the question the gentleman who asked it.

She isn't electable. The Dems would be wise to move on to someone else. She, like her husband, talks out of both sides of her mouth. G-d help us if another Clinton gets into office and starts trying to run American foreign policy like it's their plaything. I can thank her husband for putting me in Nablus and Hebron, being shot at every day because he wanted to gamble with the lives of millions of people in Israel , the West Bank, and Gaza to try make a legacy for himself. Dubya and Rice are doing it now (watch how that turns out), and I know Hillary will try it too.

I'm back in the States now, and I don't care who it is. If it's not Hillary, they'll have my vote. She's morally bankrupt. She's the perfect political slime; an 80s-era slickster, who will pander to or step on whoever, as long as she can climb the political ladder.

You don't have to be an Obama or Edwards supporter to boo her. I don't like any of the candidates from either the Repubs or the Dems, and I'd boo her without a second thought.

For those of you who think it's uncouth to do that, that's the way of the world. Politics should bring out passion. When it ceases to do that, you lose the power to change the status quo. Just ask an Israeli; we've been trying to dump Olmert for months now.

It is good I watched the whole thing and I had a very good time to know the candidates when not controlled by the media.

Hillary want to have it both ways!

The thing is, every issue candidates are debating has to go through the congress for the president to pass it. Why is Hillary fooling us here. Whether it's healthcare,immigration,economy every issue has to go through the congress. The president doesn't pass bill before this. The debate is mean't to know the candidates position and priority with issues. So there is nothing like taking back and talk about congress. Tell us your stand!

You people are all wrong. She was not booed because she was not there. She was not booed because her answer was song and dance.

She was booed because the American public in staunchly opposed to illigration reform where millions of illegal aliens are given citizenship in order to "eliminate" illegal immigration. The govenment doesn't listen to the public. The only ones campaigning for this are illegal aliens (and supporters) and politicians looking for votes. If you make it hard for them to work and live here, then they are more likely to come here legally. It all starts with government enforcement, not clemency.

How do you stop illegal immigration? By eliminating all benefits of entering the country illegally. It's really that simple, and really Ron Paul is the only candidate that is proposing that very idea.

Amnesty isn't the answer, it's been done before and it's failed, as we all can see with all the illegals, if we do it again it does nothing to deter more from doing it, actually it encourages them, because we'd be saying if you are here long enough you get a free pass.

I don't get why some people think it's okay for people to enter this country illegally. Just because you're opposed to illegal immigration doesn't mean you're opposed to immigration or immigrants (although there are people that are).

If someone entered your home without permission and ate your food, used your shower etc. When you come home and see him/her there you aren't going to just say hey you can stay since you made my bed and cleaned my kitchen. You'll kick them out, and you'll most likely call the cops.

But if you actually invited the person you'd be more than welcoming.

Just my little analogy.

I guess Miss Clinton, People are realizing that Obama was right about you, that you side step every question asked with a politically correct answer. One thing Miss Clinton, the one major reason I wouldn't want you is that, you would furthur divide this already divided country.

what goes around comes around hillary, at the last debate she had all her supporters boo obama and edwards when they simply questioned her positions and demanded some clarifications for the american people, i predict from now on she will be booed every where she goes!

Believe It....Hillary has NO PLAN!She doesn't have one now, and she will not have a plan in the future. Hillary has NO CLUE about being the President of a great nation.... Hillary wants 'power and personal gain,' and Bill Clinton wants to be in The White House again.

I know it wasnt Hillary's fault for not being there. Thing were out of many peoples hands it seems. so i feel for you hillary. I really do. You couldnt get a feel for the room, bad connection and all that but its not that, that got you booed.
Your responce was to boilerplated or whatever the term is. I think you answers only pander to what your audience projects onto you and you project back what they want to hear.
If Obama was not there he probably would have still been applauded. Why because his answer is a nonbiased, nonpartisan realistic idea. And you can sense how stronly he belives in what he is saying. Character
The fact is, I qustion your sincerity, which makes me doubt your integrity. I think, bottom line, this is all about who do we trust to sit in that office chair and be our country's CEO, Commander-in-chief, our face to a country that will represent us to how the rest of the world views us and lets us have a comfortable nights sleep knowing we put the best possible person in charge. Integrity and Character
I believe you have right intentions somewhere but maybe if you are sincere than use this next 4 years to really prove to us your committed to the US/U.S.
Obama/Edwards '08

Hillary is already politically dead.

Time for the Democrats to bury her already.

I boo at that cow too.

We are all doomed if Hillary becomes president. In fact we are all doomed if any democrat becomes president. Have you heard that we may have huge delays now on our tax refunds this year because once again the democrats are playing games and won't do their jobs.

mjaws swajm, She has a position for sure; she's far to the left but she can't show her true colors yet. She's gotta keep people as confused as possible to have a chance at this election.

She is booed! And she is one step above Anderson!!!! they deserve each other.

In response to: I am extremely upset at those people behavior towards Hillary Clinton.

Now, I will make sure that all my family members will vote for Hillary, and persuade my friends and office workers to vote for her as well.

Go Hillary Go!
Posted By monica, des moines, ia : December 1, 2007 8:59 pm

And how will you "make sure" and "pursuade"? Will you use the same techniques Hillary uses? Yikes! Another one for the regime!

You liberals forget that 70 percent of American Citizens do not want "Amnisty and a Path to Citizenship" for illegal immigrants. they have not only broken our immigration laws but also have committed "Identity Fraud" with stolen social security numbers and ID. Here in Alabama they drive with out insurance and if they do get a drivers license it is using fake ID. Their kids get free lunch at school by using fake social security numbers and we taxpayers are paying for their education and medical expense here. I want to enforce current law which should have been done since 1986 by all administrations including Hillary the co-President and her husband Bill. Secure the border or we citizens should not trust our government to uphold all our laws! USANumbers is where anyone who wants our immigration laws upheld need to visit.

The Clinton grease machine isn't slick enought to weasel through the immigration issue. It is THE HOT BUTTON issue of our generation. The vast majority of people in our nation are against illegal immigration, strictly on the grounds that it is illegal, let alone for many other problems, which are too many to be discussed. Many people in other parts of the country used to think it was just a California problem. Well, guess what America. It is now our national problem. And, it has come home to roost on the rest of the country. The current pattern of federal government behavior of this allowance of unbrideled illegal immigration has mimicked how it has been handled in Califonia for the past 30 years, by both the DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS. It is considered both a windfall of cheap labor for the republican's corporations and a vast potential population of prospective Democratic voters for the Democrats. The left wing base of Clinton supporters (who hijacked my Democratic Party in 1968), were obviously the booers. Can Hillary afford to lose them?
Who cares? She won't get my democratic vote.

I hope all of you who are lambasting Hillary Clinton along with your rude booing reactions to her statements will remember what a class act you had – if you send another George W. Bush into office. I'm talking about the GWB whose only experience before being sent into office by the Supreme Court, then later by the all-knowing people just like you. Bush's only experience at running anything was as a one-term governor of Texas. And everyone knows that to be Governor of Texas is to have no power except that granted by the Lt. Governor. He had NEVER been to another country, even as a child - never voted for or against anything of substance for the U.S.A. Now if this sounds like Hillary's opponent who "never voted for the Iraq war" (how could he vote for against the war as a state senator of Illinois while Hillary was already on the front lines as a United States Senator of New York.

Finally, how in this world do you think Barak Obama, with his youth and inexperience is going to hit the ground running and get something done about immigration. Well, you say, he'll do as well as the president we have now (translated "nothing." That's precisely why we need someone with Hillary's experience to jump-start the greatness this country enjoyed before being plundered by another know-nothing.

We'd all better wake up and realize this is MORE than an ordinary him versus her. Just ask yourself who would be more knowledgeable about the state of affairs in sitting down with say, Putin of Russia or communicating with the president of Iran, or France, or England, most important of all - Mexico. Senator Clinton has that knowledge and charisma of a leader. Can we really take a chance on someone who is neither? We'd better not.

Well I see the "Republican's afraid of facing Hillary in the General Election" are out in force again.

The people booing are fools.

Think about it you stupid I-O_whines...

What would you rather have.... thousands of undocumented workers... or thousands of documented, tax-paying ones on the road to citizenship and buying your goods locally.

Still holding strong to those ignorant outdated rightwing mantras the republicans keep shoving down your throat?
OK,
Would you rather have Pedro, Jesus and Ernesto working in your area and picking your crops and "Making in America" your goods at the local factory... or whould you rather they work at the big American corporate factory in Juarez, Tijuana or or Matamoros.... and keeping their money in Mexico and the only American who make out are the head of the American corporations?

Stupid people of Iowa....

Booing the ONE PERSON who can turn this country around.

A vote for anyone else but Hillary Clinton (with the possible exception of Joe Biden) is a vote for stupidity.

obama is up in iowa once again!

Chillary, or is it Hickary? She's both wooden and cold.

Looks like her campaign team was grounded with her. Interesting what happens when there isn't an opportunity to plant the desired questions before the Forum convenes....

Clinton against any Republican:

"In the land of the blind the one eyed
person is king"

The remarks confirm how stupid people are! The privilege of being educated is sorely lacking in these many of these remarks. In fact the responses assert a "walmart" mentality, -tawdry, inane, and self-serving. If my fellow Democrats want simple answers then I urge them to vote Republican. Republicans dissect life processes into very simply sound bites and provide corresponding simple solutions.

Hopefully Hillary will hush soon, join Bill and they will ride off into the sunset together and America can forget what shame he brought our country. Beats me how he can even show his face....

We don't need imigration Reform. We need Congress and the President to stand up and be counted. Will you or will you not inforce the laws we now have on the books concerning illegal allians?? If they did the problem would be solved. Oh the house cleaning, that is needed at the next vote. The silent Majority will be out in force to elect Good, Fair,
Common Sense Persons.
The sooner we get rid of the Dems and Repubs the sooner we will get on the right track here in America.Vote Independant. That will stop the bickering we have all the time now.
I don't really like BOOS but there are more coming I'm afraid

It is so simple and yet someone like Hillary (and others includeing Bush) want (COMPREHENSIVE ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION REFORM AND IT IS HIGH// I SAY "HIGH" PROIRITY. Main street is on the way in and Wall Street could go the way of the Berlin Wall. Let get Working Americans the back Bone of this country in the mix again!

The problem we have is that people don't want to face the truth. Politicians can get the votes by telling the populate what they like but is that the best thing for America with the battered image we have in the outside world?

Immigration should not be the burning issue in the US now, it should be the economy and foreign policy.

Mike Huckabee first, new Iowa poll!!!!!

Go Huck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh yes, her house of cards has been undermined and Clinton is now beginning to topple with a vigorous compliance to gravity. For the sake of American sanity, she need has to suffer a very big defeat in Iowa. Fourth is too good for her.

Posted By Butch Dillon : December 1, 2007 8:27 pm
loooool! Can not say it better!

I'd say that was her adviser's mistake. Because she probably decided to attend the debate through the phone so that her advisers can tell her the answers to the questions.
She shouldn't be blamed. It's whoever was giving her the answer's fault.
And does it say who "won" that debate?

Senator Clinton is the frontrunner in he democratic primaries. Since she expects to be annointed as the democratic candidate for President, she should be prepared to give the most complete answers. It is expected from her. If she can't do that, maybe democrats should start moving up somebody else in their political ladder.

It's so annoying that someone so anti-American as Hillary Clinton is entitled to life-time Secret Service protection just because she happens to have been married to Bill Clinton.

The largely Obama-friendly crowd booed her because many were bussed in from nearby Illinois – from Politico's Ben Smith (who broke the Giuliani expense story):

'The group, despite the Iowa location of this event, appears to have brought a large portion of the couple thousand people here from Chicago (they keep cheering at the mention of the city, and the Gamaliel Foundation, for which Obama was once an organizer, chartered two buses) and the questions are heavily focused on issues related to immigration, punctuated by the occasional chant of "Si se puede."'

So every time something happens to the other candidates Hillary Clinton gets blamed who should be blame for her getting booed. Obama supporters in the audience he seems to be the one who is flaming and slurring her the most.

Find it amusing, how some people, will be so desperate, is booing all they have???? Sounds like some folks are a little nervous... Hilary 2008!!!!!

How do you get booed when you're the national front-runner in a presidential race? Or the former First Lady and current NY Senator? Chilly Hilly is good at well-prepared fora where she is the only one speaking and no non-planted questions are asked! But in an ad-hoc or impromptu situation, she is disheveled, discombobulated, disoriented, and disgusting to watch and hear! She is not smooth! She's a Clinton, alright, but she is no Bill Clinton! The woman is a desperate cry for help! Run, Hill...run away from the farce you are making of yourself. Run back to Arkansas and hide under a big rock in Little Rock!

As for me and my family I will not vote for anyone who trys to stack more immigration laws on top of immigration laws that are dictated in our Constitution already. We cannot implement laws over an established law without first stricking down the law that is fixated already in our constitution. The breaking or avoiding the guide lines of citizenship is grounds to make all that immigrant person transactions invalid. A Government text puts it this way; Avoiding following correct guide lines may Deport an immigrant without much adue.

It is about time that Hilliary R Blythe Clinton is booed!! There is little to no truth that comes out of her mouth. She targets and builds her White House desires by looking and pointing/blaming others for to make herself appear in the know and innocent. Will she,.. like Bill Blythe Clinton,... going to continue to approve and also add to her husband's oral sex agenda for all of America to comply with??.

Another mistake by the Hillary camp! How in the world is this candidate leading the pack? Hillary is the biggest politician seeking nomination.

"She didn't have a feel for the room..."

Which just means she panders to whatever she thinks the audience wants to hear, that she doesn't really have a position on anything in the world.

Some heavy hypocritical supporters in that audience. Why I hear quite a few candidates avoid answering a question at all, let a lone in a more generalized term as Clinton did, and they never got booed.

I'd say some cowards in that audience that booed her over the phone. I doubt they would have lowered themselves that much if she was there in person.

Yet another disclosure issue...The forum moderator, who defended HRC in this article, (Cathy Hughes) is a maxed out HRC donor.

Google "Clinton" "Cathy Hughes" "Magic"

See for yourself.

The wise man turns his weakness (real or perceived) into a strength. I am not ashamed that Obama has a middle name HUSSEIN. This middle name might be our strength if we play it well, besides he had no decision in getting that name as a child.

Hillary Clinton is going down and there is no stopping it. Americans are waking up to the facts on the playbook the Clintons want to use to steal this election. She won't even make through the primaries.

All self-acclaimed political experts and supporters can say what they want to say in defense of Hillary. I prefer to wait for the vote count.

You guys don't get it, you claim you want the best for our country in a President and you have the audacity to play politics with our future.

Don't you guys get it, we need a new face and a new hope. Our sons and daughters are dying out there and Osama still has the guts to make new tapes. Are you guys kidding me?

Over my dead body will Clinton win this thing because i know Americans are not that gullible.

And for those Republicans who want to swift boat obama calling him by his middle name hussein i have news for you. That will not work, what will work is radical Islam facing a President of the USA with a middle name HUSSEIN. Thats their worst nightmare come true, they will claim the BIG SATAN has taken our name so he can destroy us. On that point i will agree with them that radical islam will be destroyed.

Obama's middle name being a liability as stated by the fear mongering republicans might be his greatest asset against radical islam.

In the media pundits have made opposition to illegal immigration sound like a right wing conservative thing. It isn't, many, many democrats and liberals share the same concerns as those on the right. The Dems had better learn that this is an issue that is going to hurt them in the general election if they don't start taking a harder line.

Hillary Clinton did not desrve to be booed. She definitely has my vote.

Maybe Iowans are a bit slow-minded.. 1. Comprehensive immigration reform is what all candidates propose
2. It does not imply automatically citizenship for illegal immigrants.
3. And the Congress is the one to pass legislation

In conclusion, Hillary said the right thing. Those people just didn't listen, they were there for booing.

Hillary 08!

Pam in Eugene, you got posted twice, didn't you....the internet can be harsh for people unfamiliar with how it works.

If you are a Democrat and Hillary wins the nomination and you don't like her, what are you going to do with your presidential vote? I don't always like or agree with a Democratic candidate, but I believe in the party's platform and will vote with that in mind, as I have done since JFK and his brother Robert (on whose campaign I worked).

These people are not looking for the truth, all they want is platitudes. Hillary gave an honest answer given how our system works. I guess these primary voters would prefer the politician lie to them and say yes of course I'll solve all our problems in my first 100 days. I'm sorry, but the next president's first 100 days need to be spent getting us out of this war. This should be a lesson to Hillary to focus more on shallow promises instead of harsh realities, after all it got Bush two terms.

I don't think she was hurt by the distance at all. The majority of Americans do not support illegal immigrants and for her to support amnesty is completely ridiculous.

So much for inevitability. Say goodnight, Hillary.

Clinton is nothing more than a boilerplate response. This is a lady with no substance and no oringinal thinking. Just another political figure led by the lobby. She will do nothing to change the system. Look at where her money comes from. Big business and the medical sector. She is nothing like her husband, don't vote for a name. We should have learned that after the second Bush.

VOTE OBAMA!

These "progressive activists" (leftwingers, liberals an so on) have lost Democrats every single presidential election since Carter except the timewhen Clinton came with his moderate agenda. They are as stupid and fanatic (should I say – lunatic) as their right-wing, "born-again christian" counterpart.

Question.

"whether “giv(ing) undocumented immigrants a path to citizenship” would be a priority in her first hundred days as President."

Answer.

""comprehensive immigration reform will be a high priority for me.”"

",“Well you’ve got to get the Congress to pass the legislation in order for the President to do as much as possible, which I will do.”"

Hillary, standard test/question taking techniques.

RTFQ!

Then answer it!

I don't think I'd trust this politician to lead me thru a chow line

I am extremely upset at those people behavior towards Hillary Clinton.

Now, I will make sure that all my family members will vote for Hillary, and persuade my friends and office workers to vote for her as well.

Go Hillary Go!

Once again, Hillary won't answer a simple question. I will never vote for her, she is too desceptive and simply lacks the character and experience to be the President of The United States of America.

Im surprised she wasnt at the Bilderberg Conference with the rest of the "One World Order Elites".I bet her hubby Billie boy was there.He went to the last one.The fix is in,She will win by hook or by crook.LMAO

blame it on GLOBAL W-A-R-M-I-N-G!! LMAO . WHAT A BUCH OF HOILDAY FRUIT CAKES YOU DEMO'S!!

Those who booed were jerks.

Those who booed are obama/edwards supporters. That also shows that they are rude people, while the clinton's supporters are polite people.

Clinton should deserve the courtesy that her supporters have given to obama and edwards.

Hillary 08.

I think it's juvenile and speaks negatively toward the character of the audience that they actually booed at a political function. Was this an audience of nine year olds or free-thinking adults? If the audience was as 'progressive' as they claim to be, perhaps they would realize that there are more pressing matters at hand. Hello? Have we forgotten that we are at war here? I am sure, Mrs Clinton will have plenty on her plate during her first 100 days as president!

Democrats...(who would be foolish enough to vote for HRC....) – re-read this...."Clinton was asked whether “giv(ing) undocumented immigrants a path to citizenship” would be a priority in her first hundred days as President. Clinton told the audience "comprehensive immigration reform will be a high priority for me.”" just as she answers EVERY question....with a non-answer...does that mean yes....does that mean no....is she talking about comprehensive immigration reform that includes giving illegal aliens licenses...or not...you tell me....she answers all the time with non-answers...and you really have to question the intelligence level of her supporters....

Obama OWNED this event! His time has arrived...Hillary who?

does anyone remember when her husband was in office?

what was one thing he did that will cripple our country

how about jobs going to Mexico and China and everywhere else

What about all those mysterious deaths of people that had information while Clinton was in Ark.

how soon we forget
how hard I remember

NO Clintons !!!!

amd I am not GOP

Such disrespect towards Senator Clinton is not even worth mentioning. Writing such an article on Senator Cinton and making it a headline is stupid and you might as well be taking the "boo" ego trip with the rest of the ego maniacs.
It is easier to behave in such a disrespectful manner towards someone over the phone.....but I bet if they/you had to look her in the eye one on one, they/you would keep their/your big mouths shut.
The same standard applies for those who write articles as well. If I had to face you in the eye...You can bet I would tell you face to face the same thing I am saying here. This type of disrespectful behavior towards Senator Clinton is nothing more than a show of collective ignorance.

You have to give credits to Senator Clinton for her first straight answer for a question on immigration reform, though she was greeted with more boos than she desired.

She does give boilerplate speeches a lot. Perhaps she is avoiding direct communications with voters, because she has disconnected herself from them. She may be nervous from not having planted questions. I was curious about where she was born so I searched and was surprised to find on

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hillary_clinton

that Hillary started out as a Republican, which makes sense to the kind of Democrats she is today.

I wonder if the man close to her at the time such as her father or Bill Clinton has had a significant influence on her political views.

But how can somebody born in Illinois feeling so uncomfortable with being in Iowa? Having spent too much time in D.C. among the "good Americans" – her lobbyist friends?

Oh yes, her house of cards has been undermined and Clinton is now beginning to topple with a vigorous compliance to gravity. For the sake of American sanity, she need has to suffer a very big defeat in Iowa. Fourth is too good for her.

I'm glad voters are finally seeing how scripted and phony Hillary Clinton is. She has no principles and says whatever her pollsters tell her to say. On every debate that's been televised so far this year she has danced around giving definitive answers to the questions she was asked. I hope the electorate sees thru this phony and that just because she thinks she is owed the presidency because of her husband's philandering the public doesn't share that feeling at all.

Jackson sez:
"Obviously these people wanted a "wish list" answer … which, if answered honestly, none of the candidates could give them."

Wrong. They wanted a solid answer that she would in fact favor this or that, they got an "I suppose I'll try something about something" sort of answer. She could have been much more honest than that. Much more.She doesn't need to promise success, just that she'll try, and she won't even commit to that. It's about time she got booed for it.

"and why would immigration be a priority over other issues for American citizens anyway!"

Hello? This IS an issue for Americans. Where you been hiding?

I'm trying to figure out what these people want with Hillary. It seems she can do no right by some people. She gave a VERY realistic answer to a REALISTIC problem. What turns people off to politics is politicians giving the electorate UNREASONABLE campaign promises and not coming through. Every Republican candidate has said they would try and overturn Roe vs Wade. Guess what? That is unrealistic it's not going to happen. Why promise something you know you can't fulfill on. One last thing. Why do we give so much importance to Iowa and New Hampshire anyway. They are not representative of what makes America American so we should stop letting them pick our President.

Once again, she cannot commit to an answer on anything without polls in hand showing what 80% or more of the people are in favor of. Her stand on any issue is whatever is popular at the moment. She has no ideas, no plan, and we have no reason to elect her president. If her last name wasn't Clinton, she wouldn't be running in the first place.

The far left is as bad (and nutty) as the far right. The question that illicited the boos was "would you inact legislation to give illegal immigrants a path to citizenship in your first 100 days". A non-lying (and dare I say moral...) candidate will give the response Hillary did. A lying and pandering candidate will say "yes" and give the answer that Dodd gave.

By the way, the boos were coming from the Chicago group (90% of them wearing "Obama" t-shirts), which made up OVER half of the attendees...If it had been in reverse and Obama was booed (as he was at the Nevada debate) all of the Obama supporters would be saying "Hillary is horrible. How dare she have her supporters boo Obama." Give me a brea.

To Jackson, Morongo Valley, CA.

you have to remember that America started from immigration so to ignore this issue or give it less importance would be starbing the dreams of others who want to find their homes here just like your forefathers did years ago..please wake up to reality.

A typical non-committal Clintonesque answer.

I have to think she would be a massive improvement over the crap that W and handlers have presented us. But the idea of a path to citizenship and forgiveness of these crimes is wrong. They need a path back where they came from and go through the same process honest people do. No rewards now or ever for breaking our laws and making our borders a joke. Bush has been in the fight to take the jobs from American wokers from the day he was pushed into politics. Hillary is exactly the same as the other Dems. That place is on W's side, which we should know by now is failure.

This is a very serious issue. But what are suppose to do? Lynch them? Kill them? Clinton answered the question correctly. It needs to be addressed. Why do we have this problem? Because we have people on welfare who are sitting on their ass – collecting our hard earned money and not working these jobs. We have companies/people giving them jobs – fine them. People who are renting homes/apts fine them. People who are selling cars fine them. We wouldn't have this problem if we stopped these 3 things.

This is crap. I'm really tired of all these stuff. Looks like we are giving Hillary a push to the white house. I can not imagine how other candidates are working hard just to see Hillary being helped to stage things and hype the country.

Go Iowa, anybody but Hillary.

This is what happens when she has to answer real questions instead of "plants".

Of course theybooed her, what do you mornons expect. CNN is as out of touch as the Liberal Democratic Party

This made me laugh.

I watched this on the TV. She had the right answer for the question. People need to understand that congress has to pass the legislation before president can sign. It is how the process works

Let's try again and see if you post this one Clinton New Network. HRC deserves to get boos and you can't put a happy face on this one. She side steps every quetion. She does not want to have a conservation with the voters because she won't be pinned to to a position. She always has the same rhecoric and nothing definitive. She is like a greased pig and you can't hold her to anything.

O boy. Let's all hope Clinton implodes. Then CNN can have a juicy story and we can have Obama, who will lose to an idiot like Giuliani, who just advocated building up the military against Russia. How many hydrogen bombs do we actually need, Mr. Moron Mayor? Isn't the military built up enough? What's their budget again?
Dump all you want on Clinton. She's far more intelligent than any Republican out there.

Although I like Hillary Clinton very much, I WILL NOT vote for her because she supports giving amnesty to illegal immigrants. This a serious issue.

Clinton bashers will say this shows that no one supports her and she is no good and blah blah blah. BUT when the same thing happened to Barack Obama and John Edwards at the last televised debate, their response was "CNN filled the audience with Clinton supporters". So, should Clinton supporters say that this event was filled with Barack Obama supporters or Edwards supporters? Some people are just hypocrits. I am an undecided Democrat, and I like Obama, Clinton, Biden and Edwards (to a lesser extent). I will vote for which ever one wins the primary and I do not like to see any of them bashed.

Democrats 2008

I bet you could feel the chill through the long distance telephone lines.....

Brrr, Brrr.

Guess she couldn't be there cause she was still staging how her grand entrance would be orchestrated after her "crisis". Where was slick willie during all this?

If the dummicraps are stoopid enough to nominate HiTllary they will be guaranteeing a repuke victory in 2008

ooops.

is this suppose to be a counter balance post for "Working feverishly, Clinton tried to project image of calm"

LOL. Pathetic.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

HISSSSSSSSSSSS!

I doubt the problem was her not being there. They weren't responding to her non-presence, they were responding to her 'boilerplate response'. The audience doesn't want a 'conversation' nor a 'dialogue', they want someone they can trust and find engaged in the points of issue.

Hey Hillary: “Can you hear me?”

Shrillary was booed not because of her physical distance from the forum but because of her ideological distance from the clear majority of American citizens and voters who do not believe we are estopped from enforcing the immigration laws for any reason, least of all because we have become economically dependent upon an underclass of criminal aliens.

Obviously these people wanted a "wish list" answer ... which, if answered honestly, none of the candidates could give them. If Presidents could enact this legislation, Bush already would have done it. Hillary was giving them a realistic answer ... and why would immigration be a priority over other issues for American citizens anyway!

Hillary deserves the boos! She has a side stepping reply for everything!They wanted a conversation from fer and they got rhetoric. The others all have pretty good plans for Health care. IF, and it is a big if, elected Hiallary will never be able to get anything passed because she is so hated by the repubs and even a lot of people in her owm party.
Anyone BUT HRC 08

It shows her inability to handle important issues. She also could not handle the hostage crisis inteligently. I do not believe that she can take up the challeneges. I am sorry.
