unbiased and biased.
My unbiased view is not that the as is negative, although it could be seen that way, more to the point it is a bad ad since as has been pointed out there have been 18 debates so far, with 2 more scheduled. So it makes Hillary out to be a whiner and a sore loser.
My biased view is that the ad is a laugh coming from someone who won't release her taxes until AFTER the primaries, so she is in no position to be lecturing about a candidate hiding from the electorate.
Up shot is, does Hillary want this so bad, she won't let it go with dignity?

New Boogyman
Hey, Factcheck.
I see you have a new boogie man, apparently the Rove link was just too much even for you to repeat. Now is those damn drunk Kennedys.
Dude keep digging, you're almost as pathetic as your candidate.

What is it about Wisconsin?
One of the most notorious "weirdos" who had an atavistic hatred of women combined with a horrible fascination with their bodies came from Wisconsin. This was Ed Gein, on whom Hitchcock based "Psycho" and whose ghastly inspiration provided some stimulus for "Silence of the Lambs". I've never seen the film, and never wanted to but I've read the book by Thomas Harris on which it is based. I've just checked on Ed Gein and he died in prison in l984. There's no mention of any children but there is such a primitive hatred of Hillary Clinton in some sectors of American society that it's not impossible that some of Ed's relatives are still hanging around. Hillary Clinton is responsible, almost single-handed, for the Iraq war, Hillary Clinton is responsible for her husband's behaviour, Hillary Clinton is Hecate and Beelzebub all rolled up together......and so on. I've already made the point with a verifiable date and a quotation from his speech to the UN, that Colin Powell was the prime mover in telling barefaced lies to the world, as well as to his own country, but for their own devious purposes, the most zealous of the Obama supporters are still sounding off against the woman candidate while ignoring the duplicity of the warrior-chief, Powell, a tool of the gruesome trio, Bush, Rumsfeld and Cheney. Oh, yes, he's notstanding for President but I don't think he's been flagellated to even a quarter of the extent that Clinton has been. This is so dishonest that you'd have to question the moral courage of people intent on propagating lies. I don't despair of America. The decision of Stephen (Steven?) Speilberg today in relation to China and Darfur shows that America still has honourable people.
Apart from Ed Gein, I'm sure that Wisconsin is a delightful place. Someone told me once that is the dairy capital of the U.S. Lovely creatures, cows, the female of bovines, producing milk for your lattes and ice-cream. As for bulls, I suppose we all know what they're associated with and it isn't pretty.

The economy
The economy is the only topic that has gotten lightly glazed over in the past debates. I hope it's covered in depth in the next two go 'rounds. After that, more debates are pointless.

As a neighbor to Wisconsin (I live in Chicago, Ill. and it borders Wisconsin), I can tell you that parts of the state are truly beautiful! Madison is spectacular. And I had never had cheese curds until I started going to Wisconsin regularly.

Spelling
My spelling is bad but I rather spell bad then vote for a person (if I don't have to) that sent thousands to their death.
We all know the major culprits of the war were Powell,Cheney, Bush and his conservative gang but he had co-conspirators in the Democratic party like Joe and Hillary. She should be held accountable for the most important vote of her life.
That vote wasn't for tax cuts,ear marks, or education it meant people would have to die. Specifically it meant someone other then her child, Bush's child or Cheney's child would have to die. She should have voted as if her daughter was going to be on the front line.

HERE IS THE PLAN OF SENATOR CLINTON TO GET OUR TROOPS OUT OF IRAQ...
Someone on this post stated they were not educated as to the route Senator Clinton will be taking to get the troops out of IRAQ.
Well, maybe it's time you all become educated and know what she is all about and not deface her policies, as Senator Obama seems to think he can do. (If you need explanation of this statement, please vist: http://facts.hillaryhub.com/)
BELOW ARE THE PLANS OF SENATOR CLINTON TO GET OUR TROOPS OUT OF IRAQ:
Starting Phased Redeployment within Hillary's First Days in Office: The most important part of Hillary's plan is;
• End our military engagement in Iraq's civil war and immediately start bringing our troops home
• As President, one of Hillary's first official actions would be to convene the Joint Chiefs of Staff, her Secretary of Defense, and her National Security Council. She would direct them to draw up a clear, viable plan to bring our troops home starting with the first 60 days of her Administration.
• She would also direct the Department of Defense and the Department of Veterans Affairs to prepare a comprehensive plan to provide the highest quality health care and benefits to every service member -- including every member of the National Guard and Reserves -- and their families.
Securing Stability in Iraq as we Bring our Troops Home.
• As President, Hillary would focus American aid efforts during our redeployment on stabilizing Iraq, not propping up the Iraqi government.
• She would direct aid to the entities -- whether governmental or non-governmental -- most likely to get it into the hands of the Iraqi people.
• She would also support the appointment of a high level U.N. representative -- similar to those appointed in Afghanistan, Bosnia, and Kosovo -- to help broker peace among the parties in Iraq.
A New Intensive Diplomatic Initiative in the Region.
• In her first days in office, Hillary would convene a regional stabilization group composed of key allies, other global powers, and all of the states bordering Iraq. The- mission of this group would be to develop and implement a strategy to create a stable Iraq. It would have three specific goals:
o Non-interference. Working with the U.N. representative, the group would work to convince Iraq's neighbors to refrain from getting involved in the civil war.
o Mediation. The group would attempt to mediate among the different sectarian groups in Iraq with the goal of attaining compromises on fundamental points of disputes.
o Reconstruction funding. The members of the group would hold themselves and other countries to their past pledges to provide funding to Iraq and will encourage additional contributions to meet Iraq's extensive needs.
