Re: The many faces of Hillary
Quote:
Clinton had her sharpest exchanges with former Sen. John Edwards of North Carolina, who accused the former first lady of inconsistency on a variety of issues.
"Sen. Clinton says she will end the [Iraq] war. She also says she will continue to keep combat troops in Iraq and continue combat missions in Iraq," Edwards said.
"She says she will turn up the heat on George Bush and the Republicans, but when the crucial vote came on stopping Bush, Cheney and the neocons on Iran, she voted with Bush and Cheney."
"She says she will bring change to Washington, while she continues to defend a system that does not work, that is broken, that is rigged and is corrupt," he said.
Clinton responded by criticizing Edwards for making a personal attack. Watch candidates make clear who they're chasing »
"I don't mind taking hits on my record on issues, but when somebody starts throwing mud, at least we can hope that it's both accurate and right out of the Republican playbook," she said.
"For him to be throwing this mud and making these charges I think really detracts from what we're trying to do here tonight. We need to put forth a positive agenda for America."
New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson pleaded with his fellow debaters for a more civil atmosphere.

You see, with Hillary any attack personal or on the issues is deemed mudslinging. She always plays the victim. She's a girl and all the guys are ganging up on her.
Poor Hillary.
If she can't handle a simple exchange in a debate without crying foul or answer a direct question with a direct answer how does she expect to be able to handle the attacks that will surely come when she is President?
