With major fundraising wins under her belt, presidential candidate Hillary Clinton now enjoys strong showings in two new polls.

CNN reports that Sen. Hillary Clinton is riding a political high less than three months before the Iowa caucuses.

The New York Democrat reported raising $27 million in what is historically a slow fundraising period, and all but $5 million of it can be spent in her quest for the Democratic presidential nomination.

On Sunday, a new Des Moines Register Poll showed that she is leading her Democratic opponents in this crucial early voting state. And a just released Associated Press national poll shows that Clinton leads her closest rival, Illinois Sen. Barack Obama, by 21 points.

Clinton hits the road Monday for her “Middle Class Express” tour across Iowa, and this week, the bus won’t be fueled just by diesel.

You say: I dunnoh,she has an 'evil laughter' says FOX.

Of course FOX would say something like that. They are not an unbiased news service. They are all rabid Republicunts. Rush Limbaugh is their hero.
Now don't get me wrong, I'm not a democrap. So, i can bash both sides with impunity. That is called unbiased.

Why talk about someone's personal attributes when, in Hillary's case, we can discuss:

White water

FBI records scandal

Vince Foster

greasy commodity trades

Sandy Berg(L)ars chinese and russian campaign funds

Mr. Hsu and his greasy funds

I guess we'll have to wait unitl after the primaries...

SP4 needs a nap - he keeps repeating himself! Hillary would be such an improvement over Bush, but a lot of so-called men wouldn't vote for a woman regardless of the qualifications. They can't rid themselves of the good-old-boy mentality!

Good ole SP4 grasping at straws again .Was there any condemnation in all these cases mentioned by him?Was there any involvement from Hillary ?Of course SP4 is the king of character assassination with nothing to back up his vague accusations .Absolutely nothing .Using a tactic that has served the neocons well during the previous years,implemented by FOX network;throw mud at a candidate,keep throwing and throwing ,and eventually the most mentally impaired part of the electorate will start to believe it .No matter if it is true or not .Hell,some others might even start to doubt ...
This is what SP4 is doing for months now here .Repeating 'd nauseam 'his lies. .Honest people are disgusted by slander.

She has never been condemned for anything worth mentioning ....except in the neocon biased trash media like FOX ,now reduced to discuss her 'evil laughter' as an important topic but trying desperately to bury all the real scandals like torture,kidnapping,the use of mercenaries in an illegal war,putting these same mercenaries above all laws ,looting the state coffers and handing out everything to the military industrial complex ,refusing to provide health care to millions of cgildren and about 50 million adults with the hypocritical excuse of ' principles' .THose neocons know their priorities indeed .Where is the corruption and the embezzlement SP4?With Hillary ?Are you for real ?

actual patriotOct 10th, 2007 - 00:15:01

in response to the astonishing array of half and no-truths above, Li'l Bush doesn't need to lie to a Federal judge, because he has people do it for him.

And then they do, he pardons them. (well, maybe they 'merely' lied to a grand jury, eh?)

Of course, this was the same Li'l Bush -- the one presiding over the 'cakewalk' in Iraq, and all-time record deficits and a weakening dollar! -- who was *appointed* by Federal Judges (his daddy's appointees) in the first place, so maybe he owes 'em.

Just like he owes the oil companies he supports so well, y'know?

Actual Patriot. SP4 has always been known to back Bush regardless of the circumstances and the crap he has to spew. He denies Bush is harming the country so many have sacrificed for. He's troubled I guess.

My presidency is the most secretive and un-accountable of any in US history.
