Press Paving Path to Presidency for Hillary Clinton
October 30, 2007
As Sen. Hillary Clinton dominates the Democratic presidential field, L. Brent Bozell in his new book, Whitewash: What the Media Won't Tell You About Hillary Clinton, But Conservatives Will (Crown Forum, Nov. 2007), exposes the shocking extent to which the media have failed to ask Sen. Clinton pertinent questions or thoroughly investigate a single charge against her.
"The national media have flagrantly abandoned their duty as independent and dispassionate journalists," write Bozell and co-author Tim Graham. "When Republicans are investigated by the media, it is done with such tenacity it usually leads to a humiliating resignation or electoral defeat. When there is a hint of impropriety by the Clintons, the media react quite differently:
a) By ignoring the allegation, as NPR and PBS did for 500 days after Whitewater broke,
b) By turning the story into an investigation of the Clinton's accusers, which Mrs. Clinton usually claims to be conservative Republicans, or a "Vast Right Wing Conspiracy,"
c) With little investigation, the issue is not resolved,
d) The public grows weary of it and no longer cares about the end result.
What Ford’s Thoughts on One Clinton’s Past Say About Another Clinton’s Future
October 30, 2007

Gerald Ford will not be a panelist at tonight's Democratic presidential debate so it's a fair bet that no one will ask whether Bill Clinton is a sex addict and whether it really matters as his wife runs to win back the White House. But it's also a fair bet that voters so far know more about Bill Clinton's sex life than Hillary Rodham Clinton's plan for Social Security — especially since she isn't telling what her plan is.
So here again is the conundrum with this most unusual of presidential candidates. She is the current odds-on favorite to be the Democratic nominee, if not the next president of the United States, both because of and in spite of her unfaithful husband. And as demonstrated once again by a new book detailing Ford's from-the-grave assessment, Bill Clinton's history of extracurricular activity may never be completely removed from the national dialogue, no matter how much everyone may want it to be.
Ford gave his thoughts about Clinton over the years to Tom DeFrank, a veteran Washington reporter who covered the Michigan Republican since before he became president and agreed to keep a series of post-White House interviews secret until after Ford's death. In "Write It When I'm Gone: Remarkable Off-the-Record Conversations with Gerald R. Ford," the 38th president proved a tough judge of the 42nd president's behavior. "He's sick," Ford told DeFrank in 1999, the year the Senate acquitted Clinton of perjury and obstruction of justice in an impeachment trial stemming from his affair with Monica Lewinsky. "He's got an addiction. He needs treatment." Ford said Clinton had "damaged his presidency beyond repair."
Republican Women Too Smart to Fall for Hillary’s Ruse
October 30, 2007
Last week, my hometown paper, The Atlanta Journal & Constitution, ran an online story entitled, "Clinton Pollster Predicts Defection of GOP Women." Depending solely on his own "internal" polling, Mr. Mark Penn - Public Relations guru extraordinaire, and Hillary's campaign strategist — says that a full 24% of Republican women will punch their ballots for Hillary based on the "emotional" appeal of electing the first woman President.

Clearly, Mr. Penn is either purposefully spinning or indulging in a rather perverted, nearly delusional form of magical thinking.
We Republican women are far, far too smart to fall for Hillary Clinton's ruse. We are not the mindless ninnies that vote with the Special-Interest Express. We think for ourselves and vote for the candidate of our choice based on merit. We cast our precious votes for the candidate we believe would be the best President, not the one with an "emotional" appeal aimed at our womanhood.
Liberals, Taxes and Hillary Clinton
October 30, 2007
by Jeremy Meister
Hillary Clinton may well go down in history - not because she's the first possible woman candidate, but because she'll be the first candidate in American history to win promising to raise taxes as high as they'll go and putting the government in charge of everything.
It's really strange to think that a nation that traces its roots to a revolt against high taxes is now going to put a bunch tax oppressors in charge. The American colonists groaned under inflated taxes (on everything), lack of free trade and government regulation of speech/press (via the stamp act - which was also a tax.)
This is pretty much the Democrat platform for 2008. Hillary the front runner supports Chuck Rangel's tax hike. She hates free trade. Hillary supports "the fairness doctrine" - a nice way of saying "government regulated speech." And although Madam Clinton publically denounces Bush's wire tapping of terrorist suspects, she sees nothing wrong with listening via wire taps on political opponents (see "Her Way" by Don Van Natta Jr. and Jeff Gerth.) Didn't libs chase Nixon out of office for stuff like this? And today it doesn't bother them?
Hillary Clinton backed lab of donor
October 30, 2007
Lawmakers, including Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, have taken thousands in campaign cash from an embattled Nobel-prize winning scientist while earmarking federal money for his New York lab.

Mrs. Clinton and Sen. Charles E. Schumer, also a New York Democrat, requested a $900,000 earmark in June for the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, where James D. Watson served as chancellor before resigning last week after apologizing for comments that suggested that people descending from Africa aren't as intelligent as those from Europe.
Federal campaign filings show that Mr. Watson has donated more than $70,000 to candidates and their political causes, including a total of $3,000 to Mrs. Clinton's presidential campaign on May 17 and June 25. Two days later, a Senate committee report showed that Mrs. Clinton and Mr. Schumer earmarked $900,000 for the lab.
