Clinton debt larger than reported
Hillary Clinton's campaign debt at the end of March was bigger than it appeared because she didn't list the $5 million she loaned herself, a campaign finance watchdog group reported this afternoon.
Clinton, in her filing with the Federal Election Commission, reported that her campaign had $9 million in cash on hand as of March 30, and $10 million in debts.
"The Clinton campaign itemizes its debts to vendors, totaling $10.3 million by the end of last month, but since January, when Clinton infused her campaign with $5 million, the campaign hasn't been adding in that loan when reporting its overall debt to the Federal Election Commission," the Center for Responsive Politics said.
"An FEC representative tells us Clinton's debt to herself, even if she won't be paying it back, should be lumped in with the campaign's debts to others on the first page of the monthly filings, not just listed deeper within her disclosure forms -- that's how the other big self-funder in 2008, Mitt Romney, reported the $42 million he lent himself."
Including the loan would put her debt as of March 30 at $15.3 million, the nonpartisan group said.
Since winning the Pennsylvania primary on Tuesday, Clinton's campaign says it has raised $10 million and counting online.
Perhaps her campaign has raised $10 million dollars in 24 hours...$9 million coming from Bill. She's lied to win before and she'll do it again. They'll do anything to win, including supporting themselves and then overstating their "wave" of support.
When it's do or die a Clinton will lie.
Did you really think the Clintons would ever change their spots? We,ve always had todissect with a fine tooth comb everything they said,wrote,or did. Do you really want this mess again? Obama or McCain either one, but Please not thoseClintons. The lines and acting of Broadway show are synonymous with what those two have been givin g us for years.
I won der why in theabout 10 times I have written something it never appears. Can you tell I am 81 by my tyoing and therefore whayt I say has no value. i wish Obama would bring up the Clinton dscandals like Whitewater but he will not. If she wins I go to Costa Rica.
STOP THE DRAMA!!!!!!!! VOTE OBAMA!!!!!!!
Well the Republicans has the "TERMINATOR"
The Democrats has the "OBLITERATOR" and the "DETERMINATOR"
Hillary is the better candidate and best positioned to defeat the Republican attack machine in November 2008.
All the Clinton haters here are just the typical liberal democrats who all they know is figure out a way to lose. Look at Al Gore in 2000 who found a way to lose one of the easiest elections and in 2004 John Kerry found a way to lose to George Bush.
The difference between these spine-less liberal democrats and the Clintons is that the Clintons know how to win and the Republicans hate them for that. What baffles me is why so many Democrats haven't figured it out. Clinton has won the states that mattered the most to the Democrats...from California, New York, New Jersey, Texas, Ohio, Massachusetts, to Florida etc.....states any Democrat must win to have a shot in the general elections. Obama is winnning states like Idaho, Utah, Wyoming, South Carolina etc... states the Democrats never win and will probably not win in the general election. Give me a break. If the Democrats want to have a President in the White house in January 2009, they need a candidate who will fight to win. They need Hillary Clinton. She will win the big states that count. Mark my words.
Who's really suprised that she LIED AGAIN.....and she does it with a smile.
Can't wait till I can sing "Ding Dong the witch is dead, the wicked witch, the wicked o' witch. Ding Dong the wicked witch is dead. She's gone where the goblins go below, below, below."
The 2000 and 2004 presidential elections were stolen. That should be the biggest concern in the 2008 presidential elections. Does Diebolt have it sewed up?
We'll see in May what the real numbers are...
KingofPopx,
Gore lost in large part because Bill screwed things up so badly with his lying and subsequent impeachment that a navel-gazing, swaggering frat-boy was able to beat a very intelligent and experienced VP. If you think Gore lost because he was a "typical liberal Democrat" take a look at the way the playing field shifted after Bill got nailed LYING to the American people. He ruined it for the next 8 years. Thanks, Bubba! Now you want your shrill wife to take the reins?!?! I think not.
"hillary is the better canidate"
well if you believe that lets vet hillary right now, how about monica lewinsky, how about jennifer , how about all the other "issues" the repubs brought up during the clinton whitehouse.
Hillary the liar....
Born in PA
The Clintons are once again pulling the bait and switch on the American people. She's counting votes that she knew didn't count and shouldn't count, votes she received when he wasn't even on the ballot. She's praising FOX News as "fair and balanced". I truly wish they would simply join the Republican Party now and put us all out of our misery. The Clintons need to let go of the throne and let our country move on. The 5 million she "forgot" is exactly the reason she didn't want to release the figures until the day before the Pennsylvania primary. Let go Hillary.. It's over!
"the Clintons (sic) know how to win" is funny. She is _not_ winning the primary. Perhaps she has a secret Nixon-like plan to win the general.
Hillary's electability argument is another myth sponsored by her campaign. Obama is the only one she is ahead of McCain in the sum of the polls.

Where are her 2007 tax returns?
Why aren't her papers as First Lady being released from the Clinton Library?
And speaking of the Clinton Library, where is the donors list?
Why can't we get straight answers out of this woman?
Hillary Clinton is ready on day 1...
to demolish the FEC so no one finds out what she has been up to.
For all those who think Hillary is a better candidate to win in November then please tell me why the GOP is going so hard after Obama?
For the logic to make sense that Hillary is the best against McCain then the GOP would be going after her not him.
It appears that through all of this support and fanfare Clinton supporters put a deaf ear to one undeniable truth- Hillary Clinton is NOT trustworthy! She might be smart, she might be a fighter and she might have some credentials but she is simply not honest. The Bosina incident is one of many not yet uncovered.
All Clinton voters are trying to elect a President who is dishonest!!!!!
Another falsehood from the Clinton campaign? NO! Wow, if she ever got into the White House, we'd have to hire someone to keep an eye on her 24/7.
This can't be. Hillary Clinton would not, could not, tell a lie.
Don't forget that the republicans also have the DECIDER!
I love how Hillary supporters argument to elect Hillary is to say that she is proven better at lying and swiftboating to win votes so vote for her. Reality check Hillary wins states by smaller margins then Barack which is why Barack is winning. The important in the contest was the margins, that is why small states matter. Barack Obama " We cannot create change with a plus one electorate." We need a landslide to break the deadlock in the general which means we need Independents, Republicans, and African Americans to when the Presidency back. That's why the tide hasn't turned, that's why Hillary has to lie, and that's why Hillary is losing.
I am a 70 yr caucasian Republican female - I supported Obama in WI primary and plan to do same in general election. I WILL NOT EVER VOTE FOR A CLINTON and I can list several of my friends who feel the same anger with the Clintons!!! If the Democrats want to bring out the Republican in full force, then allow Clinton to steal the nomination and my Republican blood will come out. I cannot fathom why anyone would vote for or support Hillary now or ever - she is not fit to serve as our President. Is this what we want for children and grandchildren? NO!
Kingofpop...do you remember the Republican Congress we had for the last six years of the Clinton Administration, and the first six years of the Bush Administration?
Senator Clinton might win a Presidential Election, but if she doesn't keep a Democratic controlled Congress for more than the two years her husband managed, we'll never get Tax Reform, Health Care, Climate Change, Alternative Energy, or any other meaningful legislation that the American people need. The primary reason Bush has managed to screw this Country so severely is that he had a Republican Congress that did everything he wanted. Without a Democratic Congress, it really doesn't make a difference who the Democratic President is because a Republicans Majority won't allow anything to reach the President's desk if it doesn't benefit the Obscenely Wealthy, the Insurance Companies and the Fossil Fuel Industry.
I am completely fed up with what professional politicians have done to our government and our country. I am a Democrat, middle-aged, a post-graduate, white professional woman who will never vote for Hillary Clinton. Among my family and friends and many business associates, I don't know anyone who is voting for her.
This country needs serious honest people to roll up our sleeves and get us back on course as a great nation and a great people.
Between what Republicans are doing to the country and what Hillary Clinton is doing to a far better candidate than she is and her fellow Democrat Barack Obama, there will be no viable candidate in this election to do the job.
To #6: Anybody can destroy a good candidate. It takes no great skill or ability to do the kind of job that's being done on Barack Obama on Hillary Clinton or John McCain. All it takes are people such as yourself who are fearful at heart, and don't know how to get beyond that fear, so your first instinct is to smash that which you don't know. Your political analysis is from the last person you heard on TV, a professional hypester paid to spin and push forward one candidate any way possible. Regardless of truth, facts, or common sense. Barack Obama, who is not my first choice candidate, by the way, is winning states like Idaho, Utah, Wyoming, S. Carolina because he's brought in new voters, energized lapsed voters, attracted independent and Republican voters, and is the choice of the base of the Democratic party. The base of the Democratic party has turned its back on the Clintons because the Clintons are not ideological Democrats. They're moderate Republicans. Bill Clinton did much to hurt working and middle class Americans - Much of what Bush has done these last eight years was done on the foundation laid by Bill Clinton. Warrantless wiretapping, for example. I wager you that I know more about Hillary Clinton's record, in the Senate and as First Lady, and prior to that when she was a corporate lawyer and on corporate boards such as Wal-Mart that she's not the rip-snorting champion of the people that you seem to think she is. Ideologically she is to the right of her husband, who isn't much of a populist himself, despite the lip-biting "feeling of our pain". If she gets the nomination, she will tack to the right, hard and fast, and not look back.
Hey Billary supporters they are mighty thankful that you all helped them pay the bills, you want this woman to run our economy? She can't run her own campaign, she started with 200 mil and she's broke, she doesn't pay her bills to small vendors who helped her with her campaign and now she's asking all you hard working Americans to help the poor 109 million dollar whiner to divy up. Keep on giving, there's a sucker born every minute! Do the math people she can't win, unless you use that fuzzy math like her and Bill use.
The core element that any person should look for in a prospective employee, ANY employee, including but not limited to the President of the United States is integrity founded upon a strong moral compass. Without integrity, any amount of so-called "experience" means nothing.
Senator Barack Obama has been forthright since DAY 1 about his finances and every other aspect of his life and political career. He has laid bare all his financial records without prompting, he has been honest about his positions whether or not those postions were popular with his audiences, he has been honest about his association with other individuals, he has been honest about how he would fund and manage programs, he has been honest about his many accomplishments over his more than ten years as an elected official and more than 20 years as a commmunity organizer..
Senator Hillary Clinton has been secretive and deceptive since DAY 1 about her finances and every other aspect of her life and political career.....her upcoming defendent position in the largest political funding fraud trial in history (Peter Paul v. Clinton which goes to trial this october), Bosnia sniper fire, travelgate, whitewater, 1122 pages of omitted white house papers, still un-released Clinton library donors list, giving the wink and nod to the Canadian Government regarding NAFTA then saying that it was Obama, talking about her position on NAFTA, talking about her support of women's rights while not doing anything while a Wal-Mart board member thus hurting women's rights as they sought equal treatment, saying she was for unions while again working against unions as a Wal-Mart board member, telling people in New York state that she would bring jobs to the state but instead standing by as thousands of jobs from the state went overseas, saying she is for the environment but then voting time and again for measures that served big business at the expense of the environment and future generations, saying she is for health care and then not even providing it for her own staff...
Our country needs a person with integrity and competence. Our country needs Barck Obama as President of the United States.
Hillary sucks.... I'm sick of seeing her corporate kiss ass face on TV all the time. I'm sick of her taking advantage of those voters who aren't intelligent enough to see through her. Praying on their stupidity isn't the way to change our world for the better. It is a way for the corporastocracy to remain in power, why else do you think she hasn't dropped out. The people's choice is clearly Obama, but the corporations don't like him because he threatens to give us, the American people, a fair deal. The greedy 1% is why Hillary is still around, that and the ignorance of elderly hill folk.
As a voter who respects and admires Hillary Clinton, and believes she is the best candidate for President, I have a difficult time with your venom.
I identify with Hillary Clinton and believe in her. When you attack her, you attack me. You attack my hopes and dreams for my family, for my children and for my country.
Your mean spirited comments are hurtful, and they tell me you think you are better than I am and that you look down on me. Your comments tell me that if I don't agree with your opinions about Hillary Clinton, then I too am all the nasty things you call her.
Is this your way of persuading me that your candidate cares about uniting our country?
This is so disheartening.
I am a hardcore, right-wing republican. I despise the lying, pond scum sucking Clintons. But, I would consider voting for Obama in November provided he gets the nomination and makes a compelling case. Go Barack!
i can never stop wondering why obama attracts such mean followers. it has to reflect something of his own character. thankfully, in my life, i have never met people the likes of which i see spewing forth their hate of senator clinton. it is scary and so very sad.
Liar, liar, pantsuit on fire. Wake up America. Indiana and North Carolina, it's time to end this on May 6th. It doesn't need to go on. END IT!!
the BIG STATES she has won argument is BS.
Obama got the MOST DELEGATES in Texas. Hillary conveniently is using the primary vote and leaving out the Caucus. In California and New York any Dem candidate will win....and California right now over 60% support Obama. Obama would have more support in NY against John McCain if you look at the polls. She barely won the state Obama didn't campaign in, and it was a closed election blocking Republicans and Independents who are a big base of Obama's support.
Look at any poll the day after, day of, or day after the election and Obama had the majority of New York Support.
The Michigan election Obama was not on the ballot and the candidates all agreed months before it would not count, they would contest this, they wouldn't call it a victory or campaign there and Hillary did all of these things in Florida. She is LYING to her own supporters. Watch on youtube..in 14 different radio interviews, speeches and interviews she says she agrees Florida and Michigan shouldn't count commits not to contest it. All t he Dem candidates were asked by the DNC to take their name off the ballot in Michigan and Hillary put hers back on at the last minute. Massachussets will FOR SURE go Democratic in the general election, no question regardless who runs. If Hillary is saying she can win Ohio that is a JOKE. When campaigning there she lied to the people saying she was never a supporter of NAFTA and then said Obama was talking secretly to Canada. We later learned she was the one that helped get NAFTA passed, blocking opposition from labor and environmental groups and she was the one talking to Canada. I don't see how she could POSSIBLY win Ohio when the Republicans air these lies. NAFTA is the most hated thing in Ohio. So I have named ALL the states on your list.
The only one remaining is New Jersey which is a swing state. Please show me a poll saying Obama would lose NJ, if you can't now the whole BIG STATES argument is flawed.
The reason why Obama lost CA is the way CA awards delegates whether you win 45% or 55% of the state you get the same amount of delegates pretty much so he didn't campaign there much. If you look at the exit polls of people voting that day Obama won by a nice margin. Hillary only won because half of CA votes absentee and these absentee ballots were sent out two months prior when Hillary had just won NH and nobody heard of Obama.
A the PEAK of Obama's low point, the Reverend Wright issue Obama had 60% of California.
This just shows the integrity of Hillary Clinton as she is lying to her own supporters.
If Hillary cares so much about counting all the votes and not silencing people in remaining states than ask her to agree that whoever gets the most votes gets the nomination. She won't do that as knows she will end up losing votes and delegates and wants to push this out so she has 4 months to DESTROY obama nad ruin him, get all her supporters to think he is trying to steal it, to hate him and get her supporters to support McCain over Obama so that way she can say they have to give her the nomination or else the Dems will lose.
It is very very clear. I don't know how you could argue against this. I can find 5 youtube clips where she says McCain would be a better commander in chief, has more foreign policy experience and is more patriotic than Obama...this breaks a cardinal rule of endorsing someone from the other party vs. your opponent in the party. Her own campaign admits she can not win this legit.
Now Bill Clinton is saying that Obama doesn't care about the White Working class vote read the interviews. The Clintons are trying to get all their core constituencies to believe that Obama doesn't care about them and McCain is better, holding her supporters for ransom forcing the DNC to give her the nomination.
Watch the last debate...when asked if she would endorse Obama if he got the nomination she said "I will do everything I can to make sure ONE of us wins in November."
That is the leverage she holds. She will tell all her supporters Obama is this awful guy than say she won't later tell them to vote for him unless this lasts another 4 months so she can get the nomination.
How could you as a supporter of her support her if she is explicitly lying to you.
She has given SEVEN different definitions of what "winning" the primary is and you can go on youtube to see.
But hey that's fine to support her.....if you live in Indiana it doesn't make a difference if you support her or not...if you end up deciding you prefer Obama Hillary will cancel out your vote by overturning the overal vote with the super delegates, so everyone that votes is basically voting for Hillary, doesn't make a difference.
3 years ago Obama was in debt living in a 3 bedroom condo with his kids and he is this elitist that is out of touch with the working class?
He worked as a community organizer in ILLINOIS in a horrible area of Chicago organizing people that had no jobs when the steel mills left making almost ZERO when he could have made hundreds of thousands in corporate law.
Look at all the money Bill Clinton has gotten 110 MILLION. Bill is the biggest lobbyist in Washington has taken 15M from Saudi Royal Family to manage investments, another 10 M for his foundation from another middle east person.
He is CLEARLY not representing the real people.
if you are voting for Hillary who do you think will really be running the country..It will be Bill Clinton with Hillary as the spokesperson...Sure this will really help improve women's rights having some woman screwing up even with the help of a husband.
The TIDE has turned. Obama got a higher % of senior vote than most of the states he won, and a higher % of the white vote at every age.
Hillary won because the state has few blacks, is the oldest state in the country which helps her, has a large catholic constituency which helps her, and 20% of people voting said race played a factor with 9 out of 10 of those voting for Hillary.
Hillary's trying to get people to hate him plays on the hate of blacks it is very clear.
How could she POSSIBLY endorse him to her supporters after 6 months of telling all of America he is not ready to handle the war on terrorism, has no experience, is racist towards white people, has been trying to steal the election, is against women.....please explain this to me.
If Obama gets the nomination (which he already won) after four months of this how in the world can Hillary even endorse him. She has repeatedly said McCain would be a better president, has more foreign policy experience is more patriotic. She will have no credibility endorsing him NONE AT ALL.
How can he win if she has got the whites to HATE him. Can one of her supporters explain this to me..And the longer she is negative the more she is hated 67% of Americans feel she is not honest or trustworthy...as she tries to steal the nomination this number will go to 80% especially with new lies printed every day in the paper, we will have 5 more Bosnia issues. At this point NEITHER candidate can win and we will hand the nomination to John McCain, how is this not clear to any of you.
Obama will be forced by the party to run as her VP otherwise the Democrats won't win, and we will have a dysfunctional white house where Hillary and Obama are co-president.
If Hillary is this manipulative, morally corrupt in the democratic primary she will be in the general election and will be as President.
Look at how much she has divided the DEMOCRATIC PARTY..the whole Republican Party already hates her, when someone says her name in the Republican debates it gets louder than an Aerosmith Concert. So she will have 75% of the country AGAINST HER.
If she forces her way into the White House and all the Republicans and half the dems hate her, feel she didn't legitimately win please tell me how she will pass her healthcare bill or get anything done.
These are legitmate points. While you might feel sure she should have won this race, closed it out a month ago became our nominee that is one thing, but she DIDN"T do this and the only way she will be our nominee is if both Dem candidates are destroyed and tarnished and hated by the others camp.
We can't go back in time and have her win Iowa, and Nevada and super tuesday and have it be over like she planned. She planned for the race to be over super tuesday, it wasn't. Sure if it was over then she could have put together the Democratic Party and maybe won the white house...but what she wants is to last this race for 5 months. No sane person could say that if we go into the Democratic Convention divided, she overturns it and you have 300,000 Obama supporters protesting outside she will somehow inherit the movement of change and win the presidency.
Please explain how this is possible. 95% of blacks support Obama (Blacks started out 80% for HRC by the way) if she denies the first black to win legit the nomination, the nomination how in the world will the dems keep the black vote?
What about all the young people. She complains about all the "activists" supporting Obama. Well those activists will be louder if she steals it, so explain to me how she can get ANYTHING done.
If Hillary is telling her supporters Obama can't win New York or California these are clear lies to you guys by her. She has to lie to you to get your support, that is pretty pathetic.
There is a reason why college educated people overwhelming support Obama...people that closely follow the race online overwhelmingly support Obama, 3X more Republicans support Obama, 2X more independents.
Does Hillary thing Obama's endorsement will win over these people, give me a break.
Look at the re-do's she has planned in Florida and Michigan..please look at these plans they are FULL of Fraud. The new Michigan election will have completely different rules from the first now barring Republicans and Independents who voted in the first one not bothering to change party affiiliatn as they didn't have to..Now these people can not vote again in second one? And with Obama increasing registration 10% in every state so far he can't do a registration drive to register the college students in Michigan as they can't vote unless registerd to vote for the first one.
Please explain to me how Hillary can win Michigan in the general election. Obama right now would win Michigan in the general election and Hillary losing it. If Hillary prevents Independents and Republicans who supported Obama in first one from voting again do you honestly think these people will now vote for her in the general election? How can she win the state if she pisses of the indepents and Republicans who decided they wanted a democrt and participated in the first election and now are barred from doing so in second that counts. Will she get these votes.
This is the most fraudulent election in US HISTORY. WORSE than Florida with Al Gore and George W. Bush.. You can make all the conspiracy theories you want but nobody has officially connecting George W. himself to what happened. This, Hillary's hands are ALL OVER IT.
As far as California, California has 8X more electoral votes than Idaho. Obama's win of 83% of Idaho netted him MORE electoral votes than Hillary got from getting 10 more points on him in California.
Now Obama should be punished becuase the agreement from day one was about who won the most delegates and that was his strategy?
What if Hillary led up with 20% more delegates and Obama pulled some funny math saying he should win by some new reason. Do you honestly think the DNC would agree and let him stay in the race for 5 more months trying to destroy her, ruin her and convince all his supporters McCain is better. Give me a break. Stop telling me she is being discriminated against...there is no way Obama wouldn't be pushed out if the situation was reversed.
It was Hillary's own fault to not have a continency plan, just assuming she would win Super Tuesday and when she lost not having any money spent in remaining races on fliers, people on ground, ads. This is because of her own incomptency, it is not Obama's fault that Hillarys campaign was by her their own admission "completely unprepared" for the next 12 states. Why is this Obama's fault, he won them fair, is he supposed to give her some of his delegates in these states based on how she would do if she ran a better campaign.
What is your argument here.
Hillary's campaigns argument is ther ewill be no harm to the party this continuing for 5 months, no problem bringing party together or beating John McCain. Do you HONESTLY agree with this.
And if you say you don't she says like she has that they are trying to force her out because she is a woman, bullying her or that it is Obama that wants to silence the voters not her that wants to overturn it.
She wants to get all these uneducated people that haven't followed what's going on to join her losing cause in believing that somehow she is a victim, her opponent is stealing it and trying to reverse their votes or make them not count.
This just shows how highly she respects her supporters. She wants a bunch of dumb people that she can fool into feel she is being duped by the the establishment. That is her recruitment drive.
Than after she lies to all of them and Obama gets the nomination she will argue that Obama is not able to win this dumb people that don't get what's going on or women feeling that Hillary is a victim and they have to support her.
Than she wants them to feel she is a victim (coming from someone who began this race with an absolute conviction 100% she would win as did every analyst) that she is getting the short end of the stick., discriminated against when really it is her husbands standing in the Democratic Party that is really the only reason why this race continues.
Hillary is a PROFESSIONAL VICTIM. She says she is a victim because her opponent can outraise her 5X when she is the one taking lobbysit and PAC money and can't possibly win in November if she can't raise money.
Her campaign is bankrupt and they are lying about it, and Bill and Terry McAuiliffe''s onnections in the DNC allow her to run a campaign 30 Million dollars in debt and lie about it. Give me a break.
I swear after Obama is nominated in November Hillary will stlll be running. She has not "exit strategy" she is a sore loser.
She wants the DNC to apologize somehow for not originally having whatever rules change she now wants originally. Look it is very simple.
If this was about popular vote, not delegates Obama would have a different strategy and still win. If it was about "Big states" Obama would just campaign there..either way he still wins.
It is her fault that she invested all her funds in Ohio, and Texas and none in the 12 states prior. If Obama blew those 12 states, won Ohio and Texas and clearly couldn't legit win the race do you think they would let him continue or let him be a victim.
If Hillary just kept her mouth shut she could be the president in 4 or 8 years. That is what she wants anyways..McCain will be the President 4 years later he is 75, falling apart, the economy is run into the ground she will run against a 75 year old John McCain and probably win. Obama having lost the nomination in 2008 because of Hillary will be out of the picture.
If Hillary cares so much about making sure whatever Dem gets the nomination wins the presidency why is she telling all of America in all these battle ground states that Obama is evil has not enoguh experience, is not patriotic, is tryin gto steal the eleciton, haas no foreign policy experience, would be a worse commander in chief. How can she possibly endorse him
Each time she campaigns for him telling people what a great guy he is Fox News wll play clips of her ripping him. She won't admit she lied all along about him she never does.
One state she WON, New Mexico she won by like 500 votes and there was TONS of fraud, her state head was stealing big boxes of ballots and bringing them home. they got the same amount of delegates though. Now Obama is punished. This is a bait and switch on Hillary's part.she agrees race is about delegates and when she is down in delegates she finds another standard, when down there, finds another.
I got an idea for Hillary where she might win. Do it like they had in Michigan where her name is the ONLY NAME on the ballot in every remaining state, then cut deals with all the super delegates.
Hillary is acting like she is entitled to the presidency.
Obama 2 months before announcing his run was discussing running for governor of Illinois in 2010 as a dream job....2 months later he is running for presidency has the smartest campaign strategy, platform, idea of what people want (change) when other candidates think it is experience...Hillary has planned this for 25 years.
Advisors for the Clintons have come forward saying when they married it was a political marriage more than anything. They had this agreement that in 20 some years they would each serve two terms. She has discussed idea of running for 15 years now since 1993.
How come in 15 or 25 years she doesn't have enough time to figure out how to get elected especialy when teamed up with Bill Clinton the most popular member of the Democratic Party who would be serving as co-president and Terry McAuilfe the ever popular ex DNC head that has all the contacts there.
She has had 15 years, played every game in the book and is still down. Obama had 2 months to prepare. Got no press coverage or endorsements initialy and had ZERO dollars. His campaign started with just 4 staff members and they built a better strategy.
Do you realize that once she is pushed out of this election it will be HARDER for women to run for president, elected positions, and in general move up in our country as we will see this great example of some woman that played ever game, constantly used the gender card and people will have this stereotype.
The only way Hillary will be pushed out is if finally one of her own main aides, or campaign workers start turning on her and expose the documents of what her plan really is so we all see this long strategy to steal the vote that she is behind, see her plan to play into racism to defeat Obama, see all the lies.
Once this comes out Hillary is toast. The only way this will end is if Obama wins NC and IN and Hillary is exposed.
Also how will Hillary win in the general election when the Republican candidate plays tapes of what she said about each state she lost "not representing the American people" or "not representing real americans" or "shouldn't count" or "doesn't matter" as they are caucus states or "small states don't matter" How can she court these states when she discounted their vote the first time. Please explain this to me.
And as far as SWING STATES, in 5 months EVERY STATE will be a swing state as the Democratic party will be divided and she will be hated by Republicans.
She won't be able to win Ohio or Florida as she will be too busy hanging on to New York and California.
She is making a mockery of the Democratic Party a HUGE MOCKERY.
And me forecasting this would happen IN NOVEMBER I was criticized by every female friend and female family member as being sexist. This is hilarious.
Hillary will go down as #1 on youtubes greatest hits...her lies will be played for the next 10 years.
For Obama to win the nomination he will probably have to DENOUNCE Hillary to get Republican votes.
My faith is that Al Gore, Howard Dean, John Edwards and all the other original candidates join in and endorse Obama on May 7th after a NC and IN win.
Hopefully some major people will endorse sooner.
HRC will play so many games Obama will have to get turnout of his supporters at 80%.
The funny thing is if this was a movie, a screenplay people would say it is not possible.
Bill and Hillary will have to leave the country.
I am a 67 YO white female, and I support Senator Obama. I lived through the Clinton years. In fact, I have been around during many Administrations; I can without hesitation say that THIS IS THE TIME, the time to try to alter the adverse course the US has been on. My children are divided; one a Republican to the core, the other more receptive to a different future. I have no misconception that I can alter anyone's opinion of the candidates, the throw of the dice, the feeling that nothing will change. BUT, at this stage in my life and given the stakes for citizens of all ages, it is time to Roll The Dice. However, I have a 'lucky feel' in my gut and from everything I have read extensively about this campaign and all the day to night coverage I have watched on all channels, I am convinced that we have to elect, and STAND BEHIND, Senator Obama in his optimistic pursuit of a better America. I am fortunate in that, at least at the present, secure ecomically, but who knows how long that will last. My neighbors are not as fortunate; my community is not. We all need to look at the long term picture.....I won't be around, but my children, my neighbors, their children and grandchildren will. Think, please ....just imagine what the reality will be in 4- 10- 20 + years from now. We cannot grab the most immediate promise of this or that, or lack thereof in case of the Rebulicans. What do we want for those who we wish to protect in the future?
It is intresting to see wolves at the throats of a lamb. People do not speak honestly about what they really are feeling! As a black I've been called many names with a smile on anothers face. Told that I should become a secretary by a high school counselor who wore white gloves so she wouldn't touch my hands. A teacher who was so jolly ...as she sang a song called o'Black Joe, and had me and other little children in a northern school point to a dark skinned african male student who was truly handsome and beautiful who had transferred into our school called Benjamin Franklin...and yet another white african child was being praised by her.
No white can express my feelings for me.... I have seen white preachers put down on radio stations because his wife decided to marry another...so the it reminded me of a pharasee saying that he was perfect and never made mistakes! I look at the Fox Station who are standing in this same gap of self righteousness...who is perfect? News casters attacking innocence with one question after another ...rapidly...as if they are attacking a wounded animal....going for the neck ...knowing he's been raised by a Clintonite? Who is real...?
Plantations still exists....
In my view there's only two real negatives associated with Obama ..... 1) A somewhat arrogant and condescending demeanor and ....... 2 The extreme obnoxiousness of his supporters. It's the latter that may very well insure a Republican victory in November.
I've voted in every Presidential election since 1972 and have never voted Republican. 2008 will be my first.
For the past 71/2 years I've been hitting the "mute" button or turning off the TV whenever our POTUS is on the screen. Eight years of enduring an obnoxious commander-in-chief is enough for anyone. Who needs eight more?
the bitch is broke, and im sick and tired of this old women supporting her, i believe after 70, they ought to make it illegal to vote
I'm still scratching my head trying to figure out just what exactly the "experience" is that she's talking about. She's already taken a run at Healthcare and failed miserably at that, she wasn't under fire in Bosnia and didn't open any borders to allow refugees through.
I saw somewhere about her commemorating trees or something but come on.....
Has she ever listed her experience anywhere or is it just me that smells the smoke being blown up my butt?
Show us the money, break down, Hillary. I am sorry but we can't trust you on your $10 million claim. How many times did you lie about not being in debt when the FEC numbers clearly showed you were?
As I articulated in #6, Senator Clinton is a stronger candidate to contest and win in Nov. 2008 general election. That is not in anyway diminishing Senator Obama's qualifications.
All the criticisms of Senator Clinton here centers on irrelevant, cryptic musings dredged up by the Republicans during President Clinton's regime. It has nothing to do with her policies and what she stands for as a Presidential candidate. Loathe and criticise President Clinton all you want, he is one of the greatest U.S. Presidents ever. Travel around the world and see how highly President Clinton is regarded and reverred. All the personal bias/hatred against for Senator Clinton here will not diminish the fact that she is better experienced and and better situated to face the Repuiblican assault machine in the general election. The same crap being said now by her detractors was said when she ran for the U.S. Senate in New York. Today she is highly regarded in New York and won her re-election in a landslide.
Senator Obama looks so refreshing and clean simply because he had been in politics for a VERY FEW years with little or no record. He is Untested and all we have are great speeches. We are not electing the most articulate candidate folks.
Al Gore lost in 2000 by listening to the typical spine-less democrats and distancing himself from President Clinton (the only democrat to be re-elected in several decades) Al Gore let the Republicans out muscle him and steal the election in 2000. Senator Kerry repeated same thing in 2004. The same democrats want to repeat same in 2008. Same crowd now beating the Obama drums. Democrats need a winner in November 2008 and NOT an 'also ran".
Attack Senator Clinton all you want, she will be the stronger candidate for the democrats in the general election. She has more votes (counting Florida and Michigan) thus far. More people have voted for her. It is unfortunate that in 2008, so many democrats like the ones on this site are still so naive to not figure yet what it takes to defeat the Republicans, to not figure out yet why the Democrats have 'lost' two consecutive Presidential elections. It's time to get real.
Senator Clinton will be the nominee when all the votes are counted after June 3, 2008. She will go on to win the Presidency and prove all the nay-sayers wrong...just like she did in New York.
Enough Said.
Hillary Clinton seems to have a difficult time being honest---no surprise. But truly a hard time being honest about her funding. Read this: http://www.paulvclinton.com/
Bill and Hillary are now embroiled in one of the biggest election fraud scandals in history. They'll be going to court tomorrow. Now where is the media about that?!
Hillary is a bon liar and will die a liar. END THE DRAMA, VOTE OBAMA.
I hope Obama just starves her disaster of a campaign. I hope her debt does nothing but grow until she finally admits the inevitable: she's finished.
I'm just waiting for obama to win and then in general election have a third party, Clinton/Lieberman 2008.
Gah. I can see it now
Lets not forget that the so-called big states Hillary won was not because of the democratic vote but because republicans voted for her so she could win, they know she doesn't stand a chance at all against McCain.
1. Hillary = Iraq Vote= War = Abu Gharib = War Crimes
2. Hillary= NAFTA= Job Losses
3. Hillary= Liar = Sniper Gate
4. Hillary= Selfish
Hillary is a very greedy person.
I believe the Clintons want more money. That is why they are running for President. Why don't we just give them some more money?
All the people who hate Hillaryyy.......... I dont see whats wrong with this woman.... you people need to get some knowledge before you start saying something about her. you think OBAMA came from the other planet..but I can assure you he aint what everybody thinks...... he is going to mess-up this country sobad that Bush seems like better.
plz do vote Hillaryyyyyyyyy . . . . . .
WRAL-TV in Raleigh, North Carolina refused to run the NC RNC Ads about Rev Wright - good for them. Now let's try standing up to Hillary and Bill and demanding some answers. STOP talking about numbers and make her answer some of these questions. NOW she wants another debate. NO we wants answers, we want the donars list, let's not find out the day AFTER she wins the nomination. The whole world is watching America, stand up to this woman and demand some answers.
I thought I remember her saying that she had already been reimbursed for the loan she made for herself? I don't know, maybe I just dreamed that. Wouldn't surprise me if she did say that and it turns out not to be true either.
So, just another Clinton "mis-speak" or another lie?
Does anybody really believe she has collected $10 million in ONE DAY since PA primary?
She lied about $10 millions!!! If they have 60 000 'donors' ... each of them must send more than $ 200 to cover this... ABSURD!!
Another Clintons lie : please read here - about her 'not knowing" about the two pardoned terrorists by her husband...It was a major issue iagainst her campaign for senator in 2000.. here are the facts: http://weblogs.newsday.com/news/local/longisland/politics/blog/2008/04/hill_on_brinks_radical_i_didnt.html
Who are those people who still vote for the LIAR!!?
Barack Obama is a hypocrite. He used the "reverend" Wright and other race radicals and terrorists for political gain in Chicago. Then goes on to lecture America about race relations. Please. I am so disgusted. He's supposed to be this great uniter who can't seem to "unite" the democratic party much less this country. I will give him credit however, for his ability to manipulate the news media and his obsessed "followers" with speeches written for him by John Favbreau. Yes, if it makes you maniacs happy he will most likely be the democratic nominee, and after the way many Hillary Clinton supporters haven been treated by fellow democrats. Good luck with that in November.
Hillary has at last pushed the envelope so far that it's difficult to look at her with a straight face. In these last months she has sunk to new lows and has changed the rules so many times that she's begining to become a parody of herself. Beyond her downright scary remarks about "nuking Iran", these latest assertions like "I have more votes among the people who actually voted" are beyond juvenile. She reminds me of the much loathed playground bully. "If I can't have the presidency, Barack, I'll be damed if I'll let you have it. I'd sooner smash it then let you win it". Appaling megalomania at best, and an abolute and nearly criminal traitor to the Democratic process at worst. I can't imagine how any American could be so damned duped as to seriously consider voting for her. Do we really need another manipulator-and-chief? WAKE UP you zombies! Have you learned nothing from the last 8 years? A ROVE by any other name is still a Rove!
Good evening:
Hillary has an ad showing on Indiana television. But guess what? She blames George Bush about a factory closing down in Indiana. But guess what? The factory closed down when her husband, Bill, was president. What hypocrisy?
And she wants to be president? She feels she's more qualified? She can manage a team? Who's the fact checker in that campaign? I wonder how much publicity this will get in the media?
http://asecondhandconjecture.com/index.php/2008/04/24/clinton-to-keep-defense-jobs-here/
Unbelievable!
I think Clinton fatigue has set in for many people. The Clintons don't own the Democratic Party. I'm tired of their lies and Republican tactics. It is time for the Democratic Party to move on without them.
I simply don't believe the $10M number. Folks with money to donate are generally smart enough to see that Hillary has no chance of winning the nomination now. That is a fact regardless of whether or not you like her. The media of course wants to paint the race as still up in the air because to admit it's over will give them less to talk about.
I as a woman would NEVER vote for this scandal ridden poor excuse of a woman. She totally embarrasses my gender. Ask the people of upstate New York what she has done for them lately. Don't worry it won't take long, the answer is quite short.
The reason Al Gore lost the election in part can be traced back to the scandals of the Clintons. Those of you that think that Hillary will bring us back to the 90's need to seriously think about how the world has changed. Part of the changes in the world were created by the Clinton administration, it's called NAFTA.
David Geffen did say "What scares me the most about the Clintons is how they lie so easily."
Big deal. Who here understands campaign finance regulations?
Clinton has over $30 million in her campaign fund. The accounting system and regulations dictate how much her campaign can spend in a primary versus election. It's all about bean counting.
In any case, even with Obama's huge cash advantage, why can't he seal the deal, hm?
hillary is the toughest person in the world she would make a truely great president i think thats one thing we can all agree on
Why is the media not reporting on Peter Paul vs. Hillary Clinton ?.
Yes Hillary sucks very bad and if she gets the nomination I'm going to become an Independant.
Ladies, think about it.
Hillary has totally mismanged her campaign, with huge turnover and debt.
By wide agreement among the press, Hillary has led the negativity of this campaign.
Hillary no longer has any chance to win the nomination by the rules. Yet she continues to jeopardize the Democratic Party's chances to win in November by refusing to accept her defeat now and let a unified Democratic Party with Obama go after McCain.
McCain today stated that women do NOT deserve EQUAL pay, period.
Now you have it, ladies: your vote for Hillary is a vote for McCain, and a vote for McCain is a vote against YOURSELVES. Stop the stupidity!
Ever see how many defense contractors contributed to Hillary's campaign? No wonder she voted for the war. My husband and I and our three college-age children would never vote for Hillary Clinton because she lacks integrity and ethics. She represents everything I hate in politicians. Can't vote for McCain either partly because he called his wife c**t , in front of people even. So if Hillary steals the election at the convention, than I will be staying home in November, or write in Barack Obama's name. I think the Democratic leaders are a lot to blame for allowing the Clintons to run such a negative campaign when she has no path to win. Richardson is the only one with balls. I have a lot more respect for him now and will support him in any office he holds. Carville needs to be kicked out of the party after Obama wins.
At this point, Hillary should be financing her own campaign with loans from her 100 million dollar fortune, instead of begging for donations from supporters-- many of whom are poor or working-class people.
It's really starting to bug me that she expects poor people to finance her egotistical quest, and she'll overstate her almost non-existent chance of winning to keep the money rolling in.
I'm sure the Clintons will find a way to repay themselves the 5 million they already lent the campaign. And they'll do it on the backs of the working poor.
If it weren't for Bill Clinton bullying the super delegates, this race would be over by now. In any other place of business, he would be brought up on harrassment charges. His threats kept Bill Richardson from endorsing until after Texas. By then it was too late to help Senator Obama. Although we appreciate the endorsement. And what's with Rahm Emmanual? I think he is the only ill. super who has not endorsed Obama. I know he worked for the Clinton's, but obviously he doesn't want her. It's been over two months since the Illinois primary. Make a decision Rahm! We know you're scared, but step up and be a man!
Hiding an additional debt of $5,000,000 in the small print is what to expect from Hillary's presidency.
With Hillary, read the small print, cross every T and dot every I. Even then, cement in those goal posts. She'll be owing money and favours big-time (read Special Interests) if she gets in.
At the beginning of this primary, I liked either of the democratic candidates that are still running. (There were two others I would have considered, but they are no longer running.) Since Super Tuesday, HRC has become extraordinarily negative in every aspect of her campaign. She is cleary thinking only of herself and not the country. (Sound like GW?)
Her negativity, has convinced me that there is no way I will vote for her in our late primary. My brother, who voted for her in his primary, has changed his opinion of her as well. He would rather not vote in the general election than vote for her. He has never not voted in a Presidential election. She has lost all the respect and
admiration that I used to have for her.
I have discussed with my family what would happen if BO did respond to her malicious and exaggerated attacks. Wouldn't it be wonderful if he didn't hav
e to answer to what she says about him.
I agree with earlier posters, Billary cannot manage her own finances, much less Americas'.
The Clinton's Meteoric Rise in Wealth in the years preceding Hillary's historic run and the source of that income is troubling. See: http://www.thememlingindex.com/hillary_clinton_net_worth-wealth.html The Mainstream Media needs to examine more deeply and expose the foreign and domestic sources who are funding the Clinton Machine, an in essence attempting to purchase from the Clinton's an unprecedented level of access to the Executive Branch of our government. The Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) is a front, much in the same way some Pizza joints were fronts for MAFIA. Bill has used CGI as a source of revenue generation to network with the most powerful in the world. Contrast that with Obama who is raising nearly all his funds from individual American citizens. Clintons are in the fight for their political life because those that financed them will pull the plug on them financially if Hillary loses? There is a veil of secrecy around the source of their income, donors and Hillary's tax returns. The mainstream media are not making as big an issue out of this as they should. GIven that the Neo-cons and MIC seem to trust Hillary more with the Bush Legacy, did she sell herself out to the powerful forces and insure them that a second Clinton Administration would give them precisely what they want?? Ask yourself because if the roles were reversed OBAMA would have been forced to concede this race already. The man has won 30 states, leads the popular vote, has more delegates, cash on hand and the media is allowing Hillary to turn this race into DESTROY THE EVIL DANGEROUS BLACK MAN and not calling her outright on how barron is this this tactic.
I can't believe the Clinton campaign is praising Fox (can't say the word news since it is not news). Look at how she has run her campaign....in debt, doing anything to win (putting their greed for power before their country), smearing Obama. I am a 64 year old, white gramma who has supported Obama from the beginning. I remember all the hatred of the 90's and don't want to relive that.
Vote Obama NC and Indiana.
The questions we need to ask are 'HOW?' and 'WHY?'. WHY less informed people will vote for someone who continually deceives them (Bush as well - they voted for him). Then the next logical step is HOW to make these people understand that they are voting against their own interests. You can obviously say any thing you want to but it doesn't necessarily make what you say a truth or a fact or even plausible. The main stream media wants this to go on because it is making them a ton of money. That is what Hillary is facilitating with all of this. She is enabling corporations to make a ton of money about the most inane and nonsensical arguments the same as Bush/Cheney are enabling the Military-Industrial Complex to make obscene profits. All at our expense. Mine. Yours. Don't watch, don't listen and guess what - it will stop!
Jesus - just the sight of her makes me want to puke. I cannot believe I ever voted for Bill.
ENOUGH with the Clinton apologists and the Hillary-lovers who don't seem to have 2 rational brain cells to rub together at this point!
GET A GRIP AND WISE UP! She is NOT honest, NOT ethical, NOT Progressive, NOT gong to stop the corporate and lobbyist pandering in Washington (nor even try), and N O T going to win the nomination!
Her continuing to pull this Party down to the depths of her and Bill's level of shameless self-promotion has become obscene.
Life is like a box of chocolates...sometimes poop looks like a chocolate.
sometimes Hillary looks like a good candidate, until you take a bit and realize she's full of poop.
A Clinton Dynasty? give America a break!with the Clinton's its greed & super EGO her arrogance makes Bush blush , its Hillary and dam the democrat party
Enough of the same old politics by same old players.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zLVHIcHPGV4
And then on top of al of this, she has a court hearing tomorrow with reference to fraud....http://www.nowpublic.com/world/peter-paul-vs-hillary-clinton-election-fraud-case-stuffed-california-court
The Clinton's are LIAR'S and THEIVES. She has been lying all through this campaign, she will do anything to win no matter what it takes. I really don't know when the people will finally wake up to all of her GAMES.
Hillary is now telling the people in Indiana that she is ahead in the popular vote if you count Michigan and Flordia, which is another lie. As long as she was leading Michigan and Flordia meant nothing until she start losing. Hillary knew the rules just as well as the other candidates and this was an agreement that was made, but because she is Hillary Clinton let's just change the rules, ( I think not ).
This nonsense about Obama can't win the ( Big States ) this is just a bunch of CRAP!!!!!!!. If the demoratic party is so afaird that these big states cannot be pulled by Obama then why won't they just pull the plug on Obama and give the nomination to her, the reason why they don't is because she is not the WILL OF THE PEOPLE.
While Bill and Hillary was in the whitehouse, her brother's 1. Tony and Hugh was wheeling and dealing ,2. when Bill gave those pardon's before he left the whitehouse she knew nothing of that either, 3. sniper fire she just mistated, 4. while her husband having sex with other women, I guess she slept through that.
5. Hillary was raised as an REPUBLICAN.
If you really want to know about the dirt that went on in the whitehouse with her brother Hugh, go to Hugh Rodman.com and you will hear and see much more than what I can possibly tell you here. Hillary's hands have been dirty from day one and she always has an excuse for everything.
My advise to Hillary, " YOU CAN FOOL SOME OF THE PEOPLE SOME OF TIME, BUT YOU CAN'T FOOL SOME OF THE PEOPLE ALL THE TIME"
OBAMA08
Get ready for more attack ads people, ads that try to revive old racial divides. I for one believe that the good, honest folks in America are tired of race baiting, but both the GOP and McCain's close friend Hillary (according to Billary) are using the same type of attacks against Obama. I wonder if they get together and plan it out.
Nevertheless, NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN or divide and conquerors.
America 2008!
All her speeches now end with the famous...
You know, so if you want to, you know, help out with the campaign, you know,
go to hillaryclinton.com, you know, and help keep us afloat, you know,
even though I am worth 109 million dollars, you know, I need you to send
that money my way...
you know.
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A WHOLE 5 Mil??????
Duh.
Come on, The Clinton Campaign is not capable of telling the truth. They are embellishing her numbers and chances at winning the nomination, as they are embellishing her debts, and how much money she has taken in since "winning" a handful of delegates in Pennsylvania.
I'm glad that this reporter checked her numbers. I'm not surprised she left out her 5M loan - just shows how dishonest she is at every segment of her life. Shes constantly proving this time and time again.
I hope if at all possible you can review this months statement and tell us the truth - I have no reason to believe she had 100,000 new donors who totaled 10M. It's just another falsehood to give the impression she's on top -lol. Is there anyone that believes her - she's been the butt of jokes everywhere about this. She can't even count.
But I know I can't wait to see this months report. I predict she is another 5 to 10 MILLION DOLLARS in the red. And this woman really thinks she should be the one to run our ecomony? Give me a break. She's run the worst campaign I have ever seen.
So Hillary's own campaign is in debt and she feels compelled to fudge on disclosing those finances...I wonder how she would tackle our country's staggering budget deficit? Could it possibly be with transparency, accountability, and competency?
It seems to me that if you can't run a campaign you are not quite qualified to run a country either.
If she can't organize to pay campaign debts (many to small business people, schools, bands) how can anyone think that she could get our country's finances in order?
Obama is CORRUPT, a LIAR, and his slogan of change an ILLUSION.
1) CORRUPT: A houseowner wants to sell both a house and adjoining land. Obama can afford to buy only the house. No problem, the criminal Rezko to the rescue. Rezko pays full price for the land, whereas Obama gets a discount of $300,000 on the house. Nice to have criminal friends like this!!! (ref ABC News)
2) LIAR: Obama claims he did not know about Wright's America-hating (God damn America) and racist views till it was revealed in the mainstream media in March 2008. Obama attended Wright's church for 20 years, was married by Wright, had his children baptized by Wright, donated over $20,000 to Wright's church and named his book "Audacity of Hope" after one of Wright's sermons. You really believe after 20 years and all this he did not know?
3) ILLUSION: Exelon Corporation had not disclosed radioactive leaks at one of its nuclear plants in Illinois. Obama, a senator for Illinois introduces a bill to make disclosures mandatory. Seems like Exelon doesn't like it. Each draft of the new bill by Obama goes more and more towards Exelon till disclosures end up being "voluntary". What gives? How about $250,000+ donations by Exelon!!! Obama is not change, he is WASHINGTON BUSINESS AS USUAL. (ref NYT)
People need to realize that Hillary has been fighting for them all along. All the way back to 1993 when she tried to introduce universal health care.
I to am a older white femal. I remember Hillary pushing Nafta an saying how good it was for our country! Now when it's not convient, she says she was always against it. I also remember when Kennedy an hatch wrote up and helped pass the Chips program that gave medical assistant to thousands of kids-----------Hillary just resently took credit for that because she gave a supporting speech when Kennedy asked her to! I remember when they took money from Peter paul for their fund raiser, an good by party for Hillary Sen. campagne and fairwell to Bill from the W.H., and on april25 they will now be going to court for fraud on that! So none of this surprise me! The Clintons believe they are above the law and intittled to do what ever they want to do! They think we all owe them something, because Bill was President and he did so much for us all, you know. I'm hopeing this will end soon. And it's time you all stop saying all us old folk are for Hillary! It just isn't so! not any more!
Not only can Mc Cain take a vacation because Hillary Clinton is doing the work for him.
Now also Hillary can go to the beach by Los Angeles after answering charges of fraud in the LA court tomorrow since CNN is doing all the work for her.
Another priority on her schedule should be to pay off her debts to the poor, uneducated , gullable vendors that may be forced into bancruptcy because of her habit of not paying her debts.
She thinks she is entitled to their financial support as well as to the Presidency .
It is therefore fine with her to "screw" the vendors and the american people.
Let me know if and when she is going to pay back what she owes and I will apologize for this comment.
In the mean time I suggest that other vendors loan her money and services at their own risk. We must learn from our experience, don't we?
It's over. Obama is the nominee. I'm a conservative and I'm voting for Obama in Noember, not for either of the last two members of the Bush/Cheney/Rove/McCain/Clinton Axis.
How insane is it that the candidate who's behind, who's broke, who's got the highest negatives of any candidate ever, is still in the race because she's questioning the front-runner's electability?
why do we want a person who has never once told the honest truth during the entire campaign if not her life. Its always something, then we find out right after its no longer politcally important that what they said wasnt exactly the truth. I dont get why people want to hear this for another four years. The next president has to be a person the public can trust and its not a clinton. I mean syria and north korea were building a nuclear facility and even with documentation syria can send its ambassador on to cnn and say we have no credibility to question them because of iraq. THIS IS SYRIA PEOPLE. But yet they are sort of right. The people need to know that when the administration says something its not a lie or politcally polled and analyzed statement which they dont actually believe it. I mean people, Hillary was a defense attorney for communists and she says shes in touch with real americans. Her idea of a democracy is a government where the elite rule and the
pions listen and follow. This was pretty obvious in her remarks 11 years ago when she told Bill to screw working class whites. She has never worked with these people she says shes been a champion for. She always made sure she was in a position where she had people with serious problems gravelling at her feet, enflating her enormous sociopathic ego. Shes an evil woman who we would seriously regret ever putting in a position with that type of power. She says she's going to stand up for you now just wait, just wait. If she is ever allowed in that house again we will be conrtolled with an iron fist for four years and probably long due to election fraud and an executive order to eliminate term limits. Hello Hillary " Robert Mugabe" Clinton.
Does anyone else notice that when Hilary tells everyone these new equations of hers in which somehow magically she is the winner of the popular vote, that she actually sounds like she is embarassed of what she is saying?
She knows the the crap she is trying to sell is nothing but that, CRAP.
I'm kind of embarassed for her. She is like a stray dog that you feed and then they won't leave your yard. Yech.
The monster strikes again.
How long are we going to let the monster damage the United States political process. How can you stand this lying monster.
Doesn't really matter about her debt anyway.
Because tomorrow a.m. what the great media will report is how Reverand Wright\
is ruining the Obama campaign.
But it will not make front page that Hillary
a) called for the complete obliteration of Iran should they "choose' to attack Israel
b) is supposed to be in a courtroom trial tomorrow a.m. in la for a 72M lawsuit
for trial fraud from their last campaign.
It is so very clear that the media wants to fry obama bigtime. Sick stuff indeed.
I just read that the media has begin to focus on Hillary...the "Monster" as they are convinced that Obama isn't electable! It is obvious that math is not their greatest strenght. This woman have caused God-fearing people (I know they love the Lord, because they have crucified Jeremiah Wright)to lay down their religion and follow the enemy. Shame on you Hillary Rodham Clinton!!! Their blood will be on your hands. These poor, uneducated (and some educated) would rather have a lying, dirty and relentless beast run our country, while attempting to destroy this very well qualified man without giving him a fair chance. I am glad that the media is giving him a break... This will give Obama a chance to exhale for a minute without the media taking every word from his mouth and twisting it into something ugly.
OBAMA 2008!
Spend her into oblivion, Barack!
Obama has integrity I think not his lies are ones of ommission and lies are lies no matter how they are done!!!! And please tell me how Bill's indescressions with Monica Lewinsky count against Hillary last I checked he got the Blow Jobs not her.I guess if she had divorced him that would be used against her too,Then she would be devoid of family values. It amazes me how obamities will damn her for either. But why won't they release Michelle Obama's thesis about White people untill after the election ? I bet if it was released before you all wouldn't love him so much!!!!!
why has this news not appeared on CNN. Is it true that CNN is now "clinton news network" It just shows how manipulative the Clinton campaign is. I look forward to Obama as the US President.
Mark my words:America will not get what it needs, and this will go down to the depths of filth. Better for the rest of the world I guess.
I can't stomach Hillary anymore. I want to know why she and Bill feel that they can mistreat African Americans and think that we will forget and vote for her. I WILL NEVER FOR HILLARY CLINTON. For you worried white people, we are not voting for Hillary because we have been suckered all of these years. But Bill and Hillary demonstrated what we really mean to them. We feel really betrayed.
Hillary supporters, you are not thinking straight. Just remember the drama of the Bill Clinton Administration. And what has he done since 2000? Who knows but he certainly did not become a saint. The Republicans will slice and dice her no matter how she fights back with her lies. The American people deserve better after the last 7 years.
Obama for President.
And after '08, I advocate AAs becoming independents so our voting block means something. No one will ever again take me for granted.
In my view Obama has two significant negatives: 1) A demeanor that strikes some of us "low class" types as a combination of smuggness, ar
