If You Are Voting For Hillary, Please Do Not Watch - This Blew Me Over!!!




CAUTION: Not For Supporters of Hillary Clinton - for undecided voters and independents

Seems like it was just yesterday...

Congressman James Clyburn of South Carolina spoke to Reuters saying, "There are African Americans who have reached the decision that the Clintons know that she can't win this but they're hell-bound to make it impossible for Obama to win in November."

He also shared that sentiment and repeated it at the New York Times.

He described the tactics as both scurrilous, disingenous, and that there was a near-unanimous view in his view that both Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton were committed to doing everything they possibly could to damage Senator Obama to a point where he could never win the General Election.

__________

Undecided voters might find this interesting from Obama's 1st election - in case you were too young to know how the Barack Obama / Hillary Clinton election unfolded. So admirable how Barack Obama turned the other cheek. From MSNBC

It was wise to have them not watch. Can't rain on the coronation parade.

It doesn't matter how true it might be. It will not change the position of many, if any. For more than 20 years, Hillary has lied and flip-flopped, hobnobbed with Wall Street and panhandled $4 billion of Wall Street's money since leaving the White House. Her supporters have blinders on. They simply cannot see or accept what that report and others like it is telling them. It is not going to make a lick of difference.

Ohio in 2004 is because he saw an opportunity for Hillary in 2008 and knew his reward would be huge

and yes Hillary would have challenged Obama in 2012 had she not been SOS

Now the party leadership is destroying the party itself in the attempt to win.

It's quite a gamble.

It goes to why the Clinton campaign is careful to let surrogates argue certain points. Too easy to charge hypocrisy otherwise.

I sure do miss Olberman. It's my guess that many either do not remember this, or choose to ignore.
