The Democratic candidates for president had hardly stepped on stage for their debate here Thursday night when the political insults started dropping faster than Flying Elvises.
Sen. Hillary Clinton of New York accused former North Carolina Sen. John Edwards of a mud-slinging fest "right out of the Republican playbook."
Edwards managed in one short monologue to link Clinton with President Bush, double-talk on Social Security and a "corrupt" political system he says she won't challenge.

Mud Bath at Democratic Debate
A mud-slinging fest?
So, they’re finally telling the truth. I guess this is a positive development...
Not sure who won, as Hillary really excels at Mud Throwing.
Wolf was disgraceful. Hey Wolfie, Journalism 101 says "ASK A FOLLOW-UP QUESTION!"

So you saw the "mud (or manure)fest" Democrat debate too?
LLS
You actually watched it? eeeeeeewwwwwwwww.
Yes... and it was an awful 2 hours... but I was all over the live thread... had it streaming on a second monitor.
LLS
Somebody had to! ;-)

The Democrat (Socialist actually) Party is pure Evil.
If you don’t like Hillary, prepare to move even MORE Left with Obama.
And if Obama still isn’t far enough Left for you, prepare for Kucinich (Kook-cinich).
They are all BIG government Lefty socialists. They all want the Federal government taking your money, distributing it to those who “NEED” it...
Social welfare out the wa-zoo...grabbing your guns, radically altering the fabric of traditional society via feminism, pushing special rights for homosexuals, race politics (giving unfair preference to racial minorities in order to “make up for” the injustices of the past), the most insane foreign policy of trying to stupidly tell the President how to conduct a war (hello, Constitution anyone?)...
I mean, if you are agains the war, then stop funding it. Just call a vote in Congress to end all funds for the war, ala Vietnam.
Otherwise, STFU and let the Commander-in-Chief have WHATEVER HE WANTS to try to achieve VICTORY.

I will say what I have said since earlier this year. Hillary will defeat herself. She will say the wrong thing, at the worst possible moment, to the wrong person, and in front of the cameras and microphones.
Then the world will see her for what she is, and fear what might be.
Biden came off very well. An adult looking down at the rest on the stage.
This BS is all about Mrs. Clinton tying the hands of the Republican nominee during the debates in the general election.
I can’t imagine anyone enjoying this sham... it was awful... it showcased EVERYTHING bad and evil about the dim party. They lost votes last night... no way but down. Only full bore commies and socialists could have been pleased. BDS was thick and pervasive.

I watched the Mud Circus , also. I hope Democrats watched it too, so they could see the best the Democrats have to offer for President of the United States... reduced to Mud.
You saw the Cos? cool. He’s a true gentleman.
So Typical of Hillary to pass blame, very typical of the whole Clinton era.
LLS
All in all it was in keeping with the strict programming of fatso that we have come to expect. It is hard to see how she will survive in a one on one debate in the general election and to the constant hammering she will be sure to get via the campaign ad route.
