Pennsylvania ad war intensifies

The Clintons have no shame or honor. They are deceitful and dishonest at every turn. I was planning on voting for her if somehow she wrested the nomination from Senator Obama in a fairly honest and fair manner- but after the last round of lies about "his plans on withdrawing from Iraq as "just talk" and this utter nonsense about employees contributions- I have had it with the Clintons.

They had their chance on healthcare and she totally fouled it up. No more scandal or drama in the White House- at 3 AM or at any other time. They've made their $109,000,000- that's enough. Bill is just going to set up shop in the Lincoln bedroom and "do what he does best."

I truly believe Hillary Clinton is the stronger candidate to fight big oil and create jobs in America. Obama merely sounds like a soft spoken broken record promoting himself. I don't trust him or his abilities.

Why can't the Hillary supporters see what an irresponsible, single-minded, obsessive person she is?

And hillary wonders why half of america finds her untrust worthy..... Another desperate clinton tactic to add to the pile. This woman seriously drive's me nuts!
I cant wait for the moment when Obama is handed the nomination and a 1000 cameras catch her reaction.

mmmmmmm....... : )

Try to be a little objective in your reporting. Hillary didn't say that she didn't take money from the oil companies, she only said that Obama was lying when he said he didn't. And, she was right. Because both of them get money from the oil companies in one way or another, and Obama says he doesn't, THAT'S THE STORY.

Clinton is a desperate liar

We should call Billary Senator Forked-Tongue. She has well earned the character label since White Water to the present day.

Good article. It seems a shame that a lot of people actually do not care to look beyond the sensation sound bite to find the truth. They want somebody else to give them their opinion.

Perhaps the times are beginning to change.

Hillary is not making the claims, Obami is. And he shouldn't lie in his TV ads

So nice of your site to fight the fight for Obama free of charge; if the public were to add up all the positive coverage given free of charge plus the gratuitous knocks on Clinton and McCain, it would be truly astounded at the real funds "spent" by and on behalf of the Obama campaign.
Center for Responsive Politics? Where is the timescale on their chart? Clinton has been in the fight a lot longer and on a much larger scale than Obama and can probably be measured in similar manners across the board.
Doesn't change the fact that Obama approved the tax breaks and incentives to the oil companies proposed by Dick Chaney and Clinton didn't.

Obama = Racist, Wright = Racist. you decide.

Wow, what a great plan. 5 MILLION jobs, clean energy and reduced foreign oil. All at the expense of those evil oil companies, not taxpayers. Sounds almost too good to be true.

Couple of problems with that though. The first, obviously, is that corporations don't pay taxes, the consumers of their products do. If you make the oil companies pay then they will pass that obligation along to us at the pump, just as all companies must.

Second is, if it's so great, why is Hillary holding it back till she'sPresident. Right now, today, she can introduce it as a bill (and we'd get to see just how all this is supposed to happen) AND she'd get to vote for it. As President, she could do neither.

The fact that these type ads work or politicians believe they work speaks poorly for the intelligence of our population.

Why do politicians like Clinton continue to get away with lying in campaign advertisements? Shouldn't it be unlawful to do so.

Are you an idiot? Clinton never said she didn't. You people in the media need to shut up and be more honest. Mention some of Obama's flaws instead of just all of Hillary's as well.

You're telling more lies as well. Clinton doesn't steal. You write like a sexist pig.

This is something I've found confusing. If I make a contribution to a presidential campaign is there someone keeping track of who I work for? If some middle manager at Shell Oil gives Hillary Clinton a $500 personal contribution, are we worried about this? I'm all for watchdog groups, but if this what they're tracking, I think it's just confusing. Individuals are entitled to make contributions to their candidate of choice, so let's focus on who's really buying influence and playing dirty.

She is lying again. She said, corporations are not allowed to contribute to political candidates, and then she goes and says, "misleading television ads claiming he doesn't take money from oil companies." I think she lost her head somewhere on the campaign trail.

poor Hillary she refuses to understand that she no longer is considered credible, therefore anything she says is ignored or paid little attention to. Get out the race now before your reputation is lost for good my dear.

That's the point: Obama's campaign is definitely more hypocritical.

Hillary doesn't say she doesn't take money from employees of oil companies and lobbies...Obama does however.

Obama says he doesn't take from oil and gas co., he also says he doesn't take from "registered" lobbyists, but he DOES take from "friends" of lobbyists, and "firms" that hire lobbyists, and he has former "registered" lobbyists working on his campaign. Afterall...his whole campaign has been "I'm Not Washinton As Usual"...

Clinton never says she hasn't taken money from special interests. I trust her to work the hardest to actually see her commitments to the voters through to fruition. I just don't believe Obama will be very effective if he gets elected.

It is Hillary who has demonstrated a true ability of working across party lines..just listen to Republicans and Dems alike on capitol hill. Political pundit Cokie Roberts says Obama did very little working across party lines in his short time in the US Senate.

Seems like everything Obama bases his whole campaign on is a lot of fluff...
Hillary wants the voters to hold her to accountability, and I truly believe she will work her heart out to try and achieve what she tells the voters.

Please don't let TV tell you how to vote...Check out Hillary's website to see her progressive agenda.

She recently unveiled a plan that strives to cure breast cancer within our lifetime.
She also has a detailed plan on strengthening the military and helping our wounded soldiers. Check it out...it's pretty impressive!! Also, a progressive "insourcing agenda" that should be featured on mainstream media if they could possibly fit it in between all the negative tidbits.

Hillary is a noble, admirable, misunderstood and complicated person. She knows policy extensively, has the passion to stick with her commitments, works her heart out, and is the most qualified person to lead this country.

Please don't let the tv pundits tell you how to think. If you'll do your own research, Hillary stands out clearly.

of course she does, and of course she would publish such and ad without really thinking how entrenched she is herself in this accusation against Obama. Before this election I was pro-Obama but felt if he lost Hillary was fine. Now, Im not so sure. I'm not ignorant or overemotional enough to call her anything but I'm definitely not calling her a rep for change.

yawn. what new-she lied - sorry "misspoke" again (times numbers so large only the CPAs who do income tax returns of people -like Bill "does perjury Mean that?" and Hillary "don't i get the benefit of an innocent spouse under the IRS rules" Clinton.

First off, I'd like to thank Boston for pointing out Clinton's hypocrisy. This is the same double talk and sleigh politics that Clinton will user to get elected. She apparently has no moral compass when it comes to becoming the nominee so why should I trust and believe her when she says she'll be the best candidate.

Just because Obama received money from someone working somewhere in the oil industry doesn't mean he is bound to them for favors. Even if a pipeline maintenance engineer contributes more than 200$ it's registered as a oil & gas contribution. It is the same for Clinton but she has no right to lie to voters when she has even more money than Obama from the oil & gas industry.

Hillary will say and do anything to see Barack Obama lose period. If anyone has been misleading and can easily be tagged as a plain old liar it would be her. To listen to anything coming our of her mouth or from her talking heads campaign folks of the day is ludicrous. I for one want the President to have great judgment and integrity therefore I will support Barack Obama with the maximum amount allowed by law even though I am currently serving in the US Army as an enlisted man not an officer. He knew not to support this war that cost us 12 billion a month and has taken over 4000 of my comrades lives.

Barck Obama in 2008.

Yup, so when do facts ever get in her way? We cannot allow this habitual liar, dissembler, distorter, misspeaker into the White House--we deserve better!

Shame on you Barak Obama for misleading the good people in PA. You are showing yourself to be a ruthless social climber who will say or do anything to get what you want.

Before doing more screaming Hinnis, please just tell us how this wasn't a bold-faced lie:

Clinton says sniperfire:

Senator Clinton always plays to the uninformed citizen, the hard-working guy/gal who might not have time to fact check her every lie. She makes it so easy for the careful voter to hate her.

Senators Clinton and Obama will never seriously challenge existing trade agreements like NAFTA. Liberals need to come to grips with the reality that we vote for the lesser of two evils if only to hold off McCain and his failed Iraq policies or his promise of inaction in the face of America's health care crisis.

-----CLINTON SLEEZE FATIGUE WILL INVIGORATE GOP, DISPIRIT DEMOCRATS AND SINK DEMOCRATIC TICKET-----

-----OBAMA/KERRY TO WIN-----

It is possible that Senator Clinton is the best candidate. However, even though many may like the policies that Senator Clinton proposes, they should also consider her record, just as Senator Clinton insists.
.
The last Clinton Administration, when faced with the fact that protection rackets where assaulting, torturing and murdering people with poison and radiation, chose to avoid its responsibilities to incarcerate the criminals and to protect the citizenry.
.
Instead, they made a deal with the criminal gang stalker protection rackets to leave them alone and to consequently abandon the citizenry.
.
Do we want a President who sells out the citizenry for votes?
.
Do we want a President who sends a "crime does pay" message to society?
.
Would you vote for a President who signed nonaggression deals with the KKKlan or the Nazi party? Gangs that torture with poison and radiation are much like the KKKlan and Nazi Party.
.
We do not need a sellout President. We need a principled leader President.

If you are one of the few who do not know what the above refers to, do a web search for “gang stalking” to see the tip of the dirtberg. Please do it before you decide to reply to my post. Here let me make it easy for you: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=%22gang+stalking%22.

hypocrite.

Hillary came to this Presidential campaign with distinct advantages: great name recognition; powerful, established political machine at her service; a past President as a surrogate; sweeping DNC superdelegate support, access to the DNC’s establishment political fund raising machine, etc….

In contrast, Barack Obama had to start scratch. In the last year, Obama’s campaign organization has greatly surpassed Hillary’s in fund raising, in quiet efficiency, in solid policy themes, in dignity and in effectiveness.

With all of her claimed 35 years of experience, you’d think that Clinton would run the BEST political campaign by far. She hasn’t.

Shouldn’t Primaries be viewed as a preliminary test to a candidate’s basic management capabilities, to judgement and cool-headedness under pressure, to honest transparency?

Hillary is becoming a national embarrassment (to women particularly)

I'm sure Hillary just misspoke.

The writer of this article is an idiot. Hillary never claim that she didn't take any money from these oil company, she was merely pointing out the hypocriticy in Obama's ads.

HOW ARE HILLARY SUPPORTERS GONNA SUPPORT BARACK IN THE END IF ALL HIS SUPPORTERS ARE BEING SO PATHETIC. READ THE DAMN ARTICLE PEOPLE AND USE SOME COMMON SENSE.

I wound'nt be so quick to down rate Hillary, she does have the experience and knowledge to be president, however, i think the opponents are worse. Lets face it all politians lie or stretch the truth. mccain would be a nightmare, obama the name says it all

After a pause of several weeks, Clinton has now fired the first salvo to shift this to a negative ad war. Fortunately, she can't afford much ammo and is now having to stick to radio. She will be down to a string and two tin cans by weeks end. Obama has every right now to fire back. Time to don your helmet and Kevlar. The battle has begun!

Michele C.
Here is the hypocrisy of Hillary’s ad…
There is a difference between the employees who work for Pac and the oil giants.
Hillary gave disinformation (deliberately lied).
I am a healthcare professional; I gave; does that mean as an employee I represent a special industry?
If you agree; then you will realize employees of industries are not lobbyist.

How can you justify NAFTA-gate, Columbia-gate and all her other lies?
Those endorsements prove she is glued to lobbyists and special interests. Perhaps Obama should give another ad explaining to her easy to fool, uniformed supporters the difference between the employee and the giants.
If they can comprehend being duped, that would really be a change. This woman is a phony.
BTW: the 2.5million from Elton’s concert should help her pay her debt. This is really why they won’t quit. They want others to pay. Is it legal to accept foreign money?

Obama takes it from EMPLOYEES. That can be Obama supporters who decided to donate money. So a person sends you like $2,000 and you decline it saying, "No sorry you work at an oil industry. I can't take money from you. I don't like you. At all." And that's discrimination. We all know (I hope) the laws about discrimination.
