This coming Saturday, when Hillary Clinton arrives in Iowa for the first time, she'll be greeted by a series of TV commercials featuring Democrats who want no part of her as a candidate for the presidency.
The 60-second TV spots, which bear the title "Trust" are the brainchild of the Stop Hillary PAC, a group chaired by former New York congressman and NewsMax.com columnist John LeBoutillier. They feature registered Iowa Democrats who all agree that Sen. Clinton cannot be trusted.
LeBoutillier stressed the fact that the commercial features only registered Iowa Democrats and exposes what he called "Hillary's biggest underlying problem: people even liberal, hard-core Democrats do not trust her."
This commercial, he added, dovetails with recent polling in Iowa that show that 75-90 percent of Iowa Democratic caucus-goers are already against her. "This lack of trust is her biggest underlying problem, and our ad shows it quite clearly as caucus-going Democrats tell viewers that in their own words," he said.
Beginning Saturday, the ads will appear on Fox News Channel, CNN, and MSNBC all over Iowa - except for the Omaha market, according to LeBoutillier who said he had committed $20,000 to pay for the initial commercials.
LeBoutillier explained why his group has targeted the New York senator in the key primary state of Iowa.
"I was disgusted by two completely inept and incompetent campaigns the GOP ran against Hillary Clinton in New York in her Senate races and we have no confidence that they will run a good campaign against her in 2008," he said. "So, instead, we are going to run a campaign designed to show why she must not be President of the United States.
"So I said, 'Look, I'll help run a little campaign against her put some ads up and get some buzz going to focus things properly on her.' So this ad that begins on Saturday is the first thing we've done. I have Eberly & Associates Direct Mail Fund-Raising, and Campaign Solutions, a wonderful online fund-raising company and the two of them are doing the fund-raising. It's all small: $25, $50, $100 donations."
Future plans call for similar campaigns in other states.
"If this goes well, we'd like to do it in other states such as Nevada and New Hampshire that are on the schedule next year, but first I want to get this thing up and running with Saturday's commercial, and have it go well and see if we increase our support." he said.
"We are sending a direct mail e-mail letter to 675,000 donors. It will urge them to look at the commercial and donate $25 or $50 or whatever they can give to help us buy more TV time in Iowa and elsewhere."
The commercial can be viewed on the group's Web site www.stophillarypac.com.
The reason for this is the dems knows they will not be able to control her as they could Edwards or Obama. She is dangerous, smart and cunning and truly should not be trusted by anyone.
Her Heinous' brother, the thoroughly loathsome Tony Rodham is being investigated (again) for non repayment of loans and ill gotten gains from his sale of a pardon from Slick for one of his "business" associates.
So what will the GOP/Rhino Party do to stop the HRC/BJ/Bergler/ crime syndicate? Oh right there is always McCain/Guiliani/Bloomberg...
"even liberal, hard-core Democrats do not trust her."
AKA moonbats.

Here is more info Rodham pardon scandal: Justice Department Should Investigate Hillary Clintons Brother, Anthony Rodham, for Brokering Pardon Deals Written by Judicial Watch Monday, October 16, 2006 Rodham Allegedly Received Fraudulent Loan as Payment for Securing Pardon Judicial Watch, the public interest group that investigates and prosecutes government corruption, announced last week that it filed a formal request with the U.S. Department of Justice, calling for a criminal investigation into the reported activities of Hillary Clinton and her brother, Anthony D. Rodham, former President Clinton, and Vonna Jo Gregory, former owner of the carnival company, United Shows International. Recently released court documents provided new details concerning a scheme involving Anthony Rodham, who allegedly received $107,000 in fraudulent loans from United Shows International as compensation for securing a presidential pardon for Gregory in 2000 from then-President Clinton. The October 6, 2006, letter also seeks an investigation into President and Senator Clinton over any involvement they had in the alleged scheme. There is now sufficient reason
for the U.S. Department of Justice to launch an investigation into Mr. Rodhams unlawful pardon brokerage activities, Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton wrote in a letter to Assistant Attorney General Alice Fisher. It is
apparent that the reason for the payment of loans to Mr. Rodham by United Shows and Edgar and Vonna Jo Gregory was a quid pro quo to influence President Clinton to issue the pardons. In March 2000, former President Clinton pardoned Vonna Jo Gregory, and her husband, Edgar Gregory, Jr., for a 1982 bank fraud conviction. After the pardon was issued, Hillary Rodham Clintons brother, Anthony Rodham, received $107,000 in loans from the Gregorys carnival company, United Shows International. The company ultimately filed for bankruptcy and Rodham never paid back the loans. Michael Collins, a court-appointed trustee handling the companys finances, is seeking repayment. In June 2006, Collins won a default judgment in bankruptcy court against Rodham. In July, Anthony Rodham was barred from accessing the $142,000 he had in his bank account. The Justice Department previously initiated a failed investigation of the Clinton pardons, but these new court documents, Judicial Watch argues, warrant renewed investigation. In light of this new information on Hillarys brother, the Justice Department needs to finally get serious about this scandal, said Judicial Watch President, Tom Fitton. No one should get away with selling pardons. On the last day of his presidency in 2000, Bill Clinton granted 140 pardons and commuted 36 sentences. Many of the pardoned parties were convicted felons who allegedly paid large fees to Clinton family members and associates. Judicial Watch launched an investigation of the controversial Clinton pardons in January 2001. Senator Clintons other brother, Hugh Rodham, has also been suspected of receiving illicit funds in return for pardons from former President Clinton. Hugh received $400,000 in payments from two convicted felons who received pardons.

So was I.
Where was Rudy then?
The official excuse was cancer.
I'd watch my back if I were Mr. LeBoutillier. Amen.
Of the spine?
Hillary , You are not gonna like this !!! Mr LeBoutillier , you better get a kevlar three piece suit . . .
I'll get even, don't you worry. I know where to hit him where it counts.
/Sarcasm OFF
They should have one ad just showing all her "I don't recall" testimony responses.
This is when those FBI files really come in handy.
Isn't this the reason why the Klintoons want to change the primaries so Iowa becomes irrelevant?
The whole idea is to front load the DemonRat primaries so heavily that the Witch's money and media support will blow away all her competitors and she won't have to endure the humiliation of running and actually having to campaign, answer questions, and show she can be a viable candidate
Wonerful posting, as always from you!
