1. She has been a superior senator

Let's keep her there.

[angstlessk]

2. oh, that's very good..!! made ME smile!

of course I would rather she be president than ghooliani!!!

[DemocratSinceBirth]

3. I Prefer Her To Be President So She Can Help All Of Us

Thank you though.

[Capn Sunshine]

28. The people of New York deserve a Senator like Hillary

she should stay and continue saving more lives.
Attagirl!

38. I Prefer Her To Be President So She Can Help All Of Us

It's my thread and I'll get the last word..


Oh- PWNED...A bit puerile of me but what the hay...Fight fire with fire...

[gmudem]

63. Yuck

We've had her for too long already. I'd rather have somebody that cares about New Yorkers more than her presidential aspirations. If she is the nominee it will be such a disaster for the Democrats.

[itsrobert]

4. Good for Hillary; But are they saying the other candidates wouldn't of

did the same if had the chance? I don't see the advantage of using this family in a campaign advertisement.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

5. Did Anybody Say That, Robert?

But a reply in one day is admirable

8. Listen I live in NY state and both our Senators have..........

run themselves ragged around this state. NY is much more than the city. The years of Pothole Al D'Amato were nothing more than Republican patronage and glad handing. He got his name because he never saw a pothole that didn't need filling. He did nothing for the "little people". Pothole Al can't wipe Hillary shoes. She has stepped up to the plate time and time again on many people orientated issues. Both she and Sen. Schumer secured funding for the Purple Heart Hall of Honor which languished for years when Republicans were in charge. I say NY has been indeed fortunate in having her as our Senator (carpet bagger or not) she has earned the right to be called a New Yorker and our Senator.

14. My hero..................

:cry:

There are those who look at things the way they are, and ask why... I dream of things that never were, and ask why not?

17. I Shook His Hand In 1964 When He Was Doing A Campaign Rally In Rego Park

I was six...

[sufrommich]

9. Of course there will be an advantage

to using this commercial.It speaks well of her ability to get the job done on a personal level and certainly knocks out the "ice queen" image that so many try to portray.It's an extremely positive message.It's great campaigning

[KoKo]

6. Can we have a thread on how many lives have been saved by our other Congressional Candidates?

I'm sure over the many years of service...our combined Congressional Candidates have saved MANY LIVES!

Hats off to HIllary for this one...but she's not the ONLY ONE!

[William769]

7. Sure , you want to do the research?

[DemocratSinceBirth]

11. Did She Say She Did

It's an ad...

Write "It's an ad" one hundred times and report back to me...

[sufrommich]

13. So,let em make their own commercials.nt

[durrrty libby]

18. When jealousy raises its ugly green head, it tends to make people kooko

[NewHampster]

34. They're jealous of the Pats too

[Catherine Vincent]

46. LOL!

[ronnykmarshall]

57. Why don't you fucking start one?

Instead of shitting on this one.

[Bitwit1234]

10. Back before she was running for president

an Iraqi veteran, injured in battle had serious injuries and was flown back to his base to recuperate. When he got there he found that when he was flown from Iraq after an IED injury and to Germany for life saving operations, his equipment was left in Iraq. Thru the months he spent in the hospital his pay was garnished by the government to pay for this equipment that was not turned in. He didn't have money for food or shelter after the hospital released him. He was married so he didn't qualify for the mess hall. AND since the army took his pay he didn't have money to get back to his home state. HE CONTACTED HILLARY CLINTON, SHE MADE ARRANGEMENTS FOR FOOD AND LODGING AND HIS TRIP HOME. SHE ALSO WENT TO BAT FOR HIM TO HAVE HIS PAY RE-INSTATED AND HIS BACK PAY.

So don't tell me she isn't for the veterans. And don't tell me she can't be trusted. It is the Hillary haters that can't be trusted. They twist and spin everything about her. But you don't see the Hillary supporters especially on this list slurring and flaming and slamming the other candidates. Hillary supporters have class and character just like the woman they support.

[gateley]

16. Hillary deserves recognition for this. She may not be the only one who's acted

on behalf of such families, but she DID, and that's to be commended.

[mzmolly]

22. Agreed. It's interesting to read the responses to this.

:crazy:

I don't think every candidate would have acted, frankly. This is a testament to her ability to lead and to work for her constituents. Bravo to the good lady!

[vankuria]

19. Right On

Thanks for sharing this story, I'll be sure to pass it on.

[blm]

23. Kerry has done that hundreds of times, and Hillary knows it - so when she joined Bush

to smear Kerry as attacking the troops, she could have said the truth and that she knows Kerry has worked his entire career supporting the troops. Bush and the vast RW conspiracy to smear another Democrat and a veteran himself so falsely should be condemned.

But, instead she decided to get oncamera and join with Bush and support the troops Bush's way.

Didn't she?

[itsrobert]

32. Didn't she?

Waiting for a response to the man's question.

40. Yes - Clinton undermining other Dems is so common it's boring to some.

And then there are those of us who are still outraged at the show of bad character.

45. It's actually repeating what NEEDS to be repeated because this nation can't afford

the continuing protection of BushInc and their secrecy and privilege.

And some of us are willing to take the hits from those of you who side against the anti-corruption, open government wing of the party in your zeal to protect the privilege protecting wing of the party.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

49. OK

If you believe there's a nexus between Hillary Clinton getting a dieing kid the treatment he needed and John Kerry's gaffe there is nothing I can do to disabuse you of that notion...

[blm]

50. The point is that she knows Kerry's done this hundreds of times and his

consistent support for troops was wellknown - she chose to join a lie about it and smear him for an issue that was very precious to him his entire career - his honest support for the troops and their welfare and the welfare of their families.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

51. This Conversation Is Bizzare

Is it your contention that presidential candidates should be prohibited from making commercials about the good work they did because a presidential candidate before them did good work as well?

Good Gawd....

[blm]

52. Just noticing that she wants plaudits for good deeds when she will knife Dems in the back

when they deserve support for their decades of good deeds.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

53. Redux

If you believe that there is nothing, again, I can do to disabuse of you that notion...

John Kerry's gaffe came in the closing days of the 06 midterm elections and the Rethuglicans were making hay of it... There were many Democrats who were concerned it would hurt the momentum of the candidates who were running that year of which John Kerry wasn't one of them...

[RaleighNCDUer]

39. Yep.

And that was the start of my...shall we call it 'hesitance' about Hillary.

I was a big fan of Bill, and supported him when everyone I knew was turning on him - I thought that NAFTA had been undermined by the republican congress that removed the protections it was, I thought, supposed to have. I thought that 'Don't ask, don't tell' was misinterpreted and misused by the military, and that it was a fair compromise in its original intent. I donated to Hillary's senate race.

But the day she accepted the slander of Kerry at face value I knew that she and the DLC were trying to undermine him to preserve her own chance for '08.

And I've been pissed at her ever since.

(This is why I was not surprised to hear her supporters BOOING other democrats in LV. She will do whatever it takes - and THAT is sad.)

[oasis]

26. Excellent post (eom)

[NewHampster]

36. well said

[durrrty libby]

15. Short sweet and amazing. Thanks DSB

[MasonJar]

20. Oh, to have had Hillary as our Senator for the past 8 years! Instead

we Kentuckians have labored under McConnell and Bunning. I know that Hillary exposed the government for saying the 9/11 area was safe, when they knew it was not. And of course our illustrious pres blamed Whitman when he was exposed as the slimy liar he is, even though Whitman had tried to get the true results released.

[RaleighNCDUer]

21. So what?

This is not out of the ordinary.

And I'm sure I could find stories of Jesse Helms doing the same thing here is NC. That doesn't mean I could trust him any farther than I could throw him.

How does this fit in with her "mandated health insurance for everyone"?
Well, it might be noted, he said it was something "his insurance didn't cover".

The SYSTEM should be watching out for this man and his family, not the good graces of who happens to be his senator.

NY has what, 20 million residents? Is she going to do the same for every one of them?

It's a nice story, but that's all it is.

[Lucinda]

24. Go to one of the families she's helped and ask them "so what?"

I'm sure they can explain it to you.

[RaleighNCDUer]

30. And you can ask the NC families that were helped by Jesse Helms.

It makes no difference. It's good politics and taking care of your own constituents, which is expected of a senator.

That Hillary and Helms both did it doesn't mean that she's a goddess or that he is not satan's second son.

One story about one person, and it didn't cost HER a cent. She won't back universal health care that will relieve similar worries for everybody. Or HAS she personally intervened to keep ALL New Yorkers from declaring medical bankruptcy?

[ginchinchili]

25. Please don't resort to pandering to our emotions.

When she can claim to save the lives of thousands, then you'll have my attention. Otherwise, it's just another senator using her power to help someone for a good soundbite to use in her campaign.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

27. Hmmm

Is it your assertion that public officials only respond to the needs of their constituents so they can have handy soundbites or just Hillary Clinton?

I'd be bitter too if my candidate was running behind the margin of error...

[ruggerson]

35. Now now

just because some of these people have reacted with mind boggling asininity doesn't mean you have to take it out on Joe Biden. I'm sure HE thinks it's a great commercial, after all, he's a good guy and would be ashamed of some of these posts.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

44. I Don't Go Around Looking For Supporters Of Other Candidate's "Happy Threads" To Take A Figurative

Dump In And I Don't Appreciate Them Doing It To Mine...

[ronnykmarshall]

69. Oh goody ... we have our "pandering" post.

What a fucking shocker!

[Lucinda]

29. This has been a very educational thread DSB.

A little sad, but educational. Thanks.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

31. No Good Deed Goes Unpunished

DSB

[Lucinda]

61. So it would seem.

Every now and then the snarkiness here surprises me. Which is surprising in itself. Ya think I'd know better by now. :)

[ronnykmarshall]

70. Hillary could give CPR and save someone's life ...

and still the pissy responces would show up.

[Lucinda]

73. Sadly enough.

Mind-boggling, isn't it?

[NewHampster]

33. Super new Ad and exactly how I feel about my next President

WoooooHooooo Hillary

[jefferson_dem]

43. That's a sweet ad and i'm happy for this guy and his family.

At the same time, it's obvious that Hillary is hurting from a "trust gap" and her campaign is trying to clarify her image with this ad. It remains to be seen how much it'll help.

[Catherine Vincent]

48. There's always a "but" with some of you.

"Oh, that's nice what she did, but..."

Sigh!

[jefferson_dem]

58. You guys are fucking ridiculously sensitive.

Any comment that doesn't reflect pure unadulterated loyalty just isn't enough.

Not everyone bows at the Hillary alter. Deal with it.

A word of advice: search for some of Obama's ads i've offered here and check out some of the comments...

[Catherine Vincent]

60. Yeah, I'm dealing with it.

I am also laughing at you guys. :)

"Any comment that doesn't reflect pure unadulterated loyalty just isn't enough."

Wrong.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

62. I Rarely Interfere With Happy Threads ...That's Bush* League

The only time I interfere is when folks not only bolster their candidate but take a slap at my candidate...

[Mass]

64. Hillary's supporters are so sensitive. I will let you borrow my box of tissues so that you can wipe

your tears...

The truth is that she felt the need to make this ad. Probably because people do not see her as trustworthy.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

68. Did You Make A Joke?

DSB

[Mass]

47. This ad is very telling.

Good for Hillary to have done that!
I am sure she is not the only one!

The fact that she needed this ad shows that the attacks by his opponents about her not being trustworthy are paying if she thinks she needs such an ad.

[ronnykmarshall]

54. Pandering.

Pandering to the sick child lobby.

That's all there is to it.

:sarcasm:

Come on ! You know some asshole is going to say it!!!

[jefferson_dem]

59. Yes...how dare ANY of our beloved candidates be accused of pandering...

:sarcasm: indeed.

[Armstead]

65. What's the backstory?

Either Clinton's office simply relayed information to the family about a pre-existing policy of the hospital (or NY State) or they persuaded the hospital to make an exception for this one family.

Dunno the answer to that. But it matters.

[RaleighNCDUer]

66. Backstory?

"Look, you write off this guy's bills and I will use it in an ad that will help me get elected. You know, if someone else gets the job we could have a French style national health plan in two years, and that would really suck for your profits. If I'm in, I'll keep the HMOs, the insurance companies, and the corporate profits in the loop. So, you want to play ball with me, or let some socialist take all your money?" *






* Not an exact quote.

[jefferson_dem]

71. Hillary used this same guy before - in her 2006 campaign, Ward

talked of how she "stood up"...

http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/11/19/472887.aspx

[ronnykmarshall]

72. Backstory is right.

It's something you pulled out of your ass.

[RaleighNCDUer]

74. Please, examine her health care insurance plan

and prove me wrong.

[ronnykmarshall]

75. You must be a SCREAM at parties!

[applegrove]

67. What a gorgeous lady she is. And a kind one.
