With only a few weeks until New York’s Sept. 12 primary elections, many people are probably still unaware that Senator Hillary Clinton is facing a challenge for the Democratic nomination. Her opponent, Jonathan Tasini, is low on almost everything, from funds to name recognition. Mrs. Clinton has successfully ignored Mr. Tasini all summer, and now it seems clear that she has no intention of responding to his demands that she meet him in a debate.
She should change her mind. In a year when New York has very few competitive elections, voters are going to get very little chance to hear serious discussions from the candidates. Since Mr. Tasini is running an antiwar campaign, it would be very useful for New Yorkers to have a chance to hear the two Democratic candidates debate that one issue.
New York voters have been exposed to all the political drama in Connecticut over Senator Joseph Lieberman, who like Mrs. Clinton supported the invasion of Iraq. She has been far more critical of the Bush administration’s handling of the war — a point the Clinton campaign makes pains to point out. But she has not been forced to discuss in great detail exactly what she thinks should be done now that things have gone so far awry in the Middle East.
Presuming she wins the primary, Mrs. Clinton will go up against a weak Republican candidate this fall. Anything can happen in an election, but there is a very good chance she could coast all the way to November without being tested on any important issue. Right now is a good time to make sure that does not happen.
Watch how the Hillary promoting old media allows her to coast all the way into November '08.
Why would anyone vote for this woman knowing that she is going to leave New Yorkers high and dry when it comes to the 2008 election? Her campaigning for 2008 would start in November 2006 if reelected Senator of New York and spend no time working for issues about New York.
Yep, and this alone will sink her.
Hey, give the gal a break: She's just on a listening tour.
Hillary's theme played to the tune of Eagles lyin' eyes
City girls just seem to find out early
How to open doors with just a lie
A rich old Democrat
And she won't have to worry
She'll promise him everything and campaign in style
Late at night a big old suite gets lonely
I guess every form of refuge has its price
And it breaks her heart to think her speeches is
Only given to those with hearts as cold as ice
So she tells supporters she must go out for the evening
To comfort an old friend who's feelin' down
But they know where she's goin' as she's leavin'
She is headed for the cheatin' side of town
You can't hide your lyin' eyes
And your smile is a thin disguise
I thought by now you'd realize
There ain't no way to hide your lyin eyes
On the other side of town a liberal is waiting
with fiery eyes and dreams no one could understand
She drives on through the nice anticipating
'Cause he makes her feel the way she used to feel
She rushes to his arms,
They fall together
She whispers that it's only for awhile
She swears that once she is elected she'll be comin' back for more
She pulls away and leaves him with a evil smile
You can't hide your lyin' eyes
And your smile is a thin disguise
I thought by now you'd realize
There ain't no way to hide you lyin' eyes
She gets up and pours herself a strong one
And stares out at the stars up in the sky
Another night, it's gonna be a long one
She draws the shade and hangs her head to cry
She wonders how it ever got this crazy
She thinks about why her trust keeps fallin'
Did she get tired or did she just get lazy?
She's so far gone she feels like Lenin on display
My, oh my, you sure know how to arrange things
You set it up so well, so carefully
Ain't it funny how your new life didn't change things
You're still the same old liberal you used to be
You can't hide your lyin eyes
And your smile is a thin disguise
I thought by now you'd realize
There ain't no way to hide your lyin' eyes
Honey, you can't hide your lyin' eyes
Did I hear you say something?
the media had to drag john kerry to the finish line and it didn't help him
this 2006 not 1996
back in 1996 internet explorer was just released and the MSM still had some power
not anymore
the media can try and let hillary coast right through the dem convention and nomination but she is going to have to face the people some time.
that look could freeze molten meetal in Texas in July, LOL
Working for the people is the job of the US Representative.
Since we started to allow direct election of Senators, they really haven't had a job.
I believe that was the day, too, that the republic died.
Evil is present when she is around.
Tell me........... how many Americans heard the chorus of boos that came down on Hillary as she appeared at the 9/11 Concert in New York City?
Your dreaming. Viacom and Sumner Redstone/Rothstein removed the boos from the tape.
Hillary will be President. Take it to the bank. She is the next plan of the boys.
you know she was booed.
there will be a woman presidnet in my life time, it will not be hillary.
MTV editing out the boos, replacing them with strange sounding applause in an attempt to cover for Hillary.
Get real. With media like that, she's almost a shoe-in.
And, with all the money she has accumulated, forget about it.
Who wil it be?
"I think for me, the sickest and scariest kind of rage is the Hillary Clinton kind of rage. You know, the perpetual permafrost smile she wears that's hiding a well of fury deeper than Barry White's voice during a bout of pneumonia." -- Dennis Miller
