Hillary's campaign issues deceptive release that shows Bill Clinton distorted Obama's words
Factcheck: President Clinton on Sen. Obama's record

Actually, President Clinton’s statements about Sen. Obama are true. Yesterday, President Clinton said he observed voter suppression in Nevada:

<...>

The Las Vegas Sun confirmed the tactics that President Clinton was discussing:


Earlier this week, President Clinton highlighted Sen. Obama’s comments on how Republicans had all the ideas for the past 15 years:

Her principal opponent said that since 1992, the Republicans have had all the good idea…So now it turns out you can choose between somebody who thinks our ideas or better or the Republicans had all the good ideas.


Don’t take President Clinton's word on it, here is Sen. Obama praising the Republican Party for being the party of ideas that challenged ‘conventional wisdom’:

"I think it’s fair to say that the Republicans were the party of ideas for a pretty long chunk of time there over the last 10-15 years in the sense that they were challenging conventional wisdom."


From TPM Election Central:

Since the audio I have is limited, I can't vouch for the full context. But the charges are eye-opening. Smith has more of the story's details -- and the culinary workers' denial of the charge -- right here.


The Clintons have decided to use every dirty trick in the book

4. Hear, Hear for secret ballots
and voting for a decent number of hours in a day and being able to vote absentee and checking voter registration if voters are required to be preregistered

7. I think if they really wanted people to vote, they would hold the elections on weekends
I suspect the lifetime politicians really don't want people to get out and vote

In spite of that, I think the 2008 election will prove them wrong

2. Shows the Hillary campaign is worried
Edited on Sun Jan-20-08 07:49 PM by gaiilonfong
They saw it on MTP and other news outlets...The framing is and will be megalomaniac bigdog is lying, Ted kennedy has called him out.
I think this is a big moment in the primaries, this thing can turn against Clinton and in a big way.
Hillary OVERPLAYED her cheating husband and now it WILL come back to bite her in the arze.

8. The Clintons are LIARS!!!!
Obama NEVER said the Republicans had "all the good ideas" or even that they had "good" ideas.

He was analyzing the politics of the last couple of decades, and said that the GOP was the party that had ideas that challenged the previous conventional wisdom.

He did not praise those ideas, say they were good ideas or otherwise endorse the GOP agenda. He was making a point that the Democrats have to take the lead and challenge those ideas with our own.

14. Why would it "implode?" Most of us can handle the truth.
Could you, perhaps, be projecting?
