Clinton's Winning Fight Night
Well, that was a short death spiral. Hillary Clinton is back to winning debates, something she'd been doing regularly until two weeks ago, when she seemed to put all of her mistakes into one debate performance. In the interim, she's been defending herself against question planting and accusations of playing the gender card. Perhaps it was fitting, then, that one of her strongest moments of the evening was when she was asked about her gender. Stringing together lines she's been testing on the campaign trail, she won one of the night's biggest crowd reactions and looked natural and approachable in a back-and-forth with pregnant CNN questioner Campbell Brown.

1. All of This is Manufactured By the Smug MSM Because They can't
Help Themselves. It should be clear to anyone with half a brain that any of the top-tier Dem candidates are better suited to get our country back on track than ANY Repub. The rest of it is pathetic pandering by the so-called Liberal Media.

3. Cut & Paste is my friend
How in the world can you support the candidate who is, *by far*, the most beholden to special interest money?

People applauding her fund raising efforts need to realize what a double-edged-sword it is.

Is it really something to be proud of you when your candidate has taken more money from the health care industry than ANY other candidate, democrat OR republican? And you trust her to reform health care to the benefit of most Americans, why, because in the early 90's (when she was NOT influenced by all that money and payback potential) she fought?

There's also that matter of taking money from the defense industry, I wonder where she ranks on that...

At any rate, even *if* you think Hillary has the best ideas (a very big if in my mind, particularly when Iran is the topic) she simply can't be trusted to represent the will of the people in light of her funding. *That's nothing against Hillary on a personal level*, that's something against ANY politician of ANY party at ANY level. It's the oldest story in politics.
