AMANA, Iowa With less than two months until the Iowa caucuses, Hillary Clinton is charging through the early-voting state in an attempt to widen a lead that was recently imperiled when her Democratic opponents stepped up their game of hardball against her following last week's candidate debate.
The frontrunner's worries that opponents Barack Obama and John Edwards could outflank her in the heartland have set her to hiring 100 new staff in Iowa and possibly doubling that army by election night on Jan. 3.
It also has led to a back and forth about fair play that has even dragged husband Bill Clinton into the fray.
The former president has denounced attacks on his wife, likening criticism of her positions on issues to the attack ads by Swift Boat Veterans for Truth that helped sink John Kerry's White House hopes in 2004.
"We saw what happened the last seven years when we made decisions in elections based on trivial matters. When we listened to people make snide comments about whether Vice President Gore was too stiff. And when they made dishonest claims about the things that he said that he'd done in his life. When that scandalous Swift Boat ad was run against Senator Kerry," Bill Clinton told some 3,000 members of the American Postal Worker's Union at a convention in Las Vegas on Monday night.
"I had the feeling that at the end of that last debate we were about to get into cutesy land again," he continued. "I think it's fine to discuss immigration. We should. ... But not in 30 seconds, yes, no, raise your hand. This is a complicated issue."

Hillary enabled the rapist and the rapist enables her a career she herself could never qualify for.
Kind of like a mutual parasitic relationship going on there.
...”likens them to swift boat ads.” Oh, then they’re true?
“Bill Clinton Likens Attacks on Hillary to ‘Swift Boat’ Ads”
No, Bill, Hillary did not shoot herself to get out of Vietnam.
I’ll say it again...
Swiftvets = best money and time I ever spent
Will somebody somewhere ever be able to point out just exactly was wrong with the “Swift Boat” ads?
I think the technical term is "symbiosis." :)
Hillary deserves to be “Swift-boated” for real.
Yes, the Clintons are reminiscent of that eight-limbed kid in India. Radical measures are surely called for.
They worked.
Hilly clearly can’t take the heat. Too bad this came up now. I wanted her to get the nomination then get slayed in the general (a McGovernesque defeat would have been appropriate). Now we may have to run against Silky Pony or Osama.
a couple of kool aid drinkers came out in Kerry’s defense and called those honorable men liars - and half of the nation believed them.
Swift boat ads were 100% TRUTH...something Slick Willy has a problem with.
Ill say it again...

Damn straight . No .
Well stated.
I wonder if we could send Her Thighness to Cambodia...
The bent one's forked tongue will be catching fire for daring to speak the honored name of the Swiftees.
“My voice is getting a little worn down. I’ve been talking for about 10 months. Especially the last four days,” she said Tuesday in Amana.
Can you imagine what the AP would make of Fred Thompson saying such a thing?
Well, while Her Thighness is into cutting and running, she was never in Vietnam except when she was there with her hubba bubba in 1998 or so.

Hilly clearly cant take the heat. Too bad this came up now. I wanted her to get the nomination then get slayed in the general (a McGovernesque defeat would have been appropriate). Now we may have to run against Silky Pony or Osama.

or a Gore. :-)
Never fear—ole AlBore is probably going to step in at the last minute and announce he is running for prez. And, if he does, he will probably get the nomination.
China probably has Bubba’s portrait hanging in a place of honor in some museum just like Vietnam has John F’n Kerry’s portrait hanging in the “War Remnants Museum” in Ho Chi Minh city.
This pathetic weasel, Kerry, not Klinton, deserves the derision accorded to someone whose comrades condemn him by something like 230 to 11 (memory not precise on the numbers). Among the people condemning J F’n are an Admiral, Navy Captains, many other officers and many, many other distinguished warriors. His supporters are composed of a bunch of athletic supporters, size Small.
I know. Just trying to get a chuckle out of you. Basically, Kerry called them slanderers and the media did everything they could to discredit them, using half-truths and outright lies.
Dorian Grey Starts to Look like His Portrait
Scandalous??? How dare BJ Clintoon accuse anyone, especially the SwiftVets, of being scandalous!
“Hillary Clinton is charging through the early-voting state in an attempt to widen a lead that was recently imperiled when her Democratic opponents stepped up their game of hardball against her following last week’s candidate debate.”
Hillary is soooo...yesterday.
Norm, my stomach lining just turned. Algore would be just the ticket for 2008 - NOT!
So these are true like the statements by the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth. Thanks for clearing that up.
“The frontrunner’s worries that opponents Barack Obama and John Edwards could outflank her in the heartland have set her to hiring 100 new staff in Iowa and possibly doubling that army by election night on Jan. 3.”
I’m a bit confused by this story... I remember reading that Hillary hired 100 new staffers in Iowa about 2 weeks ago, and at the time it was heralded as a sign she was optimistic about winning the state. How can it be a sign she’s worried, if it happened before the debate?
So I guess the question is : did she actually hire another 100 new staffers, or is someone reporting the 100 old ones as if it occured more recently than it actually did? Because, quite honestly, I believe some people are being delusional if they think Hillary will not be the Democratic nominee. Voters formed their opinions about her long ago, and assuming people support Hillary because they just don’t realize she’s a liar seems naive at this point.
The funny thing is that the very first time Hillary screws up, here comes Bill to “tough guy” it in her defense. Of course neither one of them realizes that by doing so they’re sh!tting on the whole Women’s Lib BS that Hillary has and can do so much on her own without any help from any male.
Just thinking ‘first husband Bill’ is really making me ill (that rhymes)
Anybody ask him to release her documents from his library??
Pray for W and Our Victorious Troops
Poor little Hillary, getting picked on...What’s her husband going to do, step in at every news conference and run interference for her?...
Swiftboaters exposing Kerry’s lies and Hillary tripping herself up (because she stands for nothing, no everything, no nothing) are apples and oranges.
Or at least keel-hauled.
True.. Swift Boat ads are factual and supported by verifiable documentation and testimony.
BUMP!
They told the truth about a liberal dirtbag and kept him from getting elected President of the US.
It’s like a Jew calling someone a Hitler.
A black saying a white person called them the N word.
But for Democrats, it’s the swift boating word.
Now granted the swift boat folks were legit and their points were all spot on, but the Democrats got hurt by them, and therefore the Swift boats for Democrats is like saying the N word or calling someone Hitler.
Needless to say, I regard the prospect of eight more years ( never fear a four-year Co-Presidency; the symbiotic Media Hive will assure another four if Hillarrheah! is ever allowed to slither in to office... ) of nearly a decade more of this Hillbilly Clown Car Circus

with apprehension- will we see another surge of resistance to her loony ideas, ala the first incarnation of Clintonism, or will America go quietly into that Good Night?
Anticipating eight years of that horrible screech lecturing her lessors every day on TV gives me the creeps.
To say nothing of the prospect of a rerun of Clinton I and II-- the Friday night data dumps, the bobbleheads on TV nodding at The Received Wisdom from their betters, the all
abortion, all gun control, all suppress free speech-- all the time...nonstop propaganda...
I'm not the first to follow The Lady MacBeth of Little Rock:
I believe that John Mc Cain was one of them.
The name of the other, I can’t recall.
I’m no McCainiac; far, far from it.
But McCain came out against the principle of running the ads. He was all sad and weepy that any group of vets would accuse another vet of such a thing in a campaign ad. He felt it was like refighting the antiwar vs prowar battles of many years ago and he wanted it left in the past. He didn’t want a fellow Senator running for President (and his friend, he said) to be targeted by fellow vets.
At no time do I recall McCain saying the vets behind the ads were lying. If he did, please show it to me.
Recently I saw McCain on TV with Bud Day. I believe it was on a C-Span covered event. They were buddy-buddy and had put their disagreement over the ads behind them. If McCain had said that Day and the others were lying about Kerry’s record, I don’t think such a scene would have been possible.
Sounds like the Clinton camp has not gotten reliable polling information about what they say their position is on illegal aliens. You'd think all that money spent on finding out other people's opinion would be able to buy you a firm position.
And talking about John Kerry, celebrated combat hero of an unpopular war, doesn't sound like it plays to the primary voters.
Does Bill Clinton raise his whole hand, or just point fingers?
straight out of the communist cookbook. (their rhetoric, their machinations and their total being.)
