In Iowa, Candidate Clinton Takes a New Tack, and Talks

I doubt she will get called on any of the pre-2001 Clinton crimes--most of the public will be inclined to dismiss the accusations unless some rock-solid evidence could be presented to the public, and that's not likely to happen because any accomplice who came forward would fear Arkancide...or is still on the Clintons' payroll, or already dead.

The real damage to the country in terms of the War on Terror is still unfolding, as a result of Bill's negligence or indecisiveness at key moments (refusing to accept Osama when offered, for example), but the media will never focus on that. GWB's willingness to treat Bill Clinton as a senior statesman (e.g., to help the tsumani victims with fundraising) makes any Republican attacks seem like they are coming from the extreme...so they can be ignored.

Clinton's extreme reaction to the watered-down criticism of his actions in the ABC docu-drama shows that he is aware that is a weak spot...but he can count on the media to run interference.

"As long as the MSM covers her, she feels she can get away with it."

Then we are supposed to go after the MSM. We need a list of sponsors and just start writing them letters that we will no longer buy their products.

The way to beat the MSM and any RAT is to follow President Reagans formula. BANKRUPT THE BASTARDS!!!!

We all know politicians are rehearsed, have stock answers, etc.

This woman takes it to a whole new level, we haven't seen such choreagraphed propaganda since the Third Reich.

"She was responding to.... persistent doubts about her initial support for the war in Iraq."

Sounds like Jon Kary.

"I voted FOR it before I voted Against it," etc.

"Hillary has a stock answer for every question. That answer has been polled, focus grouped, and refined. This will not, IMHO, be able to work for 2 years of questions. "

I've never seen her get a tough question. NEVER.
Why should the MSM start now when she now when her coronation tour is just ramping up. She was just on CNN belittling the President's "rhetoric" on Iran. Anderson Coopers was really grilling her......not
