Fawning Over Hillary John LeBoutillier Since Hillary announced her Exploratory Committee last Saturday morning, the true stripes of the so-called mainstream media have been clearly visible: they are all for her! They have given her unprecedented free media time: on Monday morning she was on all three network morning news shows — and then that night on all three network evening news shows. Plus all the cable nets, too. Hold on — there's more. On Tuesday morning she was back on the "Today Show" - yet again! Then, all questions were powder-puffed softballs. Be assured: This is not the same coverage any Republican would get. Well, I guess we shouldn't be surprised. But it is really disappointing to hear these liberals panting over Hillary; hasn't she had enough free coverage over the past 16 years? Anyway, to counter this, my group — StopHillaryPAC.com — begins running TV commercials on Saturday all across Iowa, just as Hillary arrives in Iowa, featuring only registered Iowa Democrats. You can view this ad on our site, and you can see these self-admitted liberals tell us why they do not trust Hillary Clinton. This isn't — as she will try to say — some part of this so-called "vast right-wing conspiracy." These folks are caucus-going Democrats who don't buy her act. Period. And they reinforce two recent polls taken in Iowa of Iowa Democrats. In each poll, former Sen. John Edwards was leading the poll, followed by Sen. Barrack Obama, the just-retired Iowan governor, Tom Vilsak, and then Hillary. In one poll, she had only 10 percent support. That means 90 percent of Iowa Democrats are against her! And that is the big, and un-reported, story of the 2008 campaign so far. Story Continues Below
Sure, in national name-ID polls, she is the best known candidate. But in state by state, where it counts, she is not doing well at all (she is barely leading in New Hampshire); especially for a supposed front-runner with tons of cash, a former president for a husband, and all the free media she gets at the mere drop of a hat. But, of course, the fawning Andrea Mitchells, Katie Courics, and Chris Matthewses aren't going to challenge her or push her. But the plain fact is that Hillary really has no skills — none at all. Yes, she works hard. But if she were not married to Bill Clinton, she would be nowhere politically. She did not rise to her current position on her own skill; she got there because of her name, and because of how she was perceived as a victim of his atrocious womanizing behavior. So now we have her running for president: a polarizing, divisive, hard-left screaming figure desperately trying, yet again, to remake her image into a centrist listener who likes to chat. Puhleaze! Thank goodness the voters, even her fellow liberals, don't easily buy into this "new" Hillary. As you can see on our ad, these men-and-women-on-the-street in Des Moines are real Americans with their own views — not the spoon-fed nonsense that comes out of Washington. With the mess G.W. Bush and the GOP leadership has made of everything, the sad fact is Democrats now look reasonable and almost "mainstream." And they could very well win back the White House in 2008. That is what Bush has done to the political scene. None of us can take this sitting down. We have to fight back. We have to not only stop Hillary, we also need to come up with a new and better GOP candidate than this sorry field presently masquerading as conservatives in the Reagan mold. We are in big trouble — and we can't take it any more. Editor's note:
