Hillary's new line on Bernie on the Auto Bailout (Youngstown Ohio)

[kennetha]

.....drum roll.....

My opponent voted for it, before he voted against it.

"There are some people supporting my opponent, who apparently, just can stand the truth. But I'm going to tell the truth. He voted against the money that bailed out the auto industry."


Go get him Hillary!

[madfloridian]

1. You seem proud.

[kennetha]

2. speaking truth to denial

[cyberswede]

3. That would be funny...if it weren't so ironic.

[ish of the hammer]

5. speaking of speaking truth...

the reagans and hiv/aids. and where WAS Sanders in 1993 during the health care fight Clinton ran from?

[madfloridian]

9. The utter insistence of her and her supporters on this bald-faced lie is getting to me.

I started this campaign perfectly willing to vote for her if she were the nominee. It never occurred to me it would be any other way.

What I have seen of her campaign, the racism, the pitting of races against each other, the faux attacks that take Bernie's strongest points and use them against him by false innuendos....it is all building up inside me.

I have never seen our party acting so badly. DWS is shutting at least half of us who are long-time Democrats because of her blatant support for Hillary.

The rules REQUIRE her to be neutral, but no on gives a damn about the fact she is not.

I have not decided yet what my final vote will be, but right now I am tired of being threatened. I have never voted anything but Democratic, and I am sick of the attacks.

So you go ahead with your attacks and be proud of her lies. It's not a very good idea.

[Voice for Peace]

32. I'm increasingly inspired by those who are taking a stand

Committing to integrity, not voting from fear.
If not now, when?

[madfloridian]

33. Well, you can sort of compare it to boiling frogs...

If the water starts out cold they adapt...until they reach that point of no return.



Then...it's time to adapt or jump out of that boiling pot.

[TM99]

4. Of course he is.

Liars support liars.

[Ruby the Liberal]

6. She is TRIPLING down on that?

Holy shit.

[GreatGazoo]

14. but it worked so well in Michigan that she had a 99% chance of winning

According to our final polls-plus forecast, Hillary Clinton had a greater than 99% chance of winning the Michigan primary.

19. It is as if she and her team believe that only college kids use the internet & and blue-collar

workers are social media troglodytes and have no option but to slurp whatever comes out of her mouth.

[marew]

29. I smell desperation! n/t

[thesquanderer]

7. Doubling down on a bad strategy.

Nobody is going to believe that Sanders isn't on the side of union workers.

[Joe the Revelator]

8. She is running such a 1990's campaign.....open her mouth, and lies just....

....fall right out.

[Luminous Animal]

10. Another day. Another lie.

11. K'n'R baby

[SheenaR]

12. The best I can say is

You have as much integrity as your candidate. So I guess you will take that as a compliment

[AgingAmerican]

13. Go get him with lies, half truths, inuendo and vitriol Hillary!

Yeah, double down on that girl!

[earthside]

15. The wheels are coming off.

As she gets caught in one deception and exaggeration after another ... the more desperate she gets and the more outrageous become the prevarications.

Hillary Clinton is not one of us.
Hillary Clinton is a hackneyed, old fashioned machine politician.

Thank goodness we have a genuinely progressive alternative.


Clinton's Charge That Sanders Did Not Support Auto Rescue Is Wrong

This Is Why Hillary Clinton's Comments About Nancy Reagan Still Matter
Her remarks on the late first lady's legacy on HIV and AIDS can't be forgotten.

16. FORBES: "Clinton's Charge That Sanders Did Not Support Auto Rescue Is Wrong"

Secretary Clinton is chastising Sanders in the Motor State for not voting for the bill that created the funding for an auto bailout. Except, it wasn’t known that the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) bill, designed to bail out Wall Street banks from their subprime mortgage loan debacle that was crashing the economy, would be used to rescue the auto industry at the time Senators Sanders and Clinton voted on it. Clinton voted yay. Sanders voted nay. It was President Bush who signed the bill into law.

Later, in December 2008, the Senate took up a separate bill that would have provided rescue funds specifically for the auto industry. That bill failed to get the 60-vote filibuster-proof minimum when Republicans balked at saving General Motors GM +1.43%, Ford and Chrysler, in large part because they wanted to use the occasion to try and destroy the United Auto Workers union, which stood to benefit from a bailout by having their healthcare fund and pensions protected, and its interests prioritized over bond holders. Both Clinton and Sanders voted for this bill.

17. When you support Hillary's lies like this, it makes you a liar too. Take a bow.

[jillan]

18. How about that! She is using the same line Rove used against Kerry in 2004

Isn't that special?

[QC]

20. Sometimes I wonder if Rove is working for her campaign.

It would explain a lot.

[Luminous Animal]

21. Ahyup.

Hillary:

I voted for the Iraq war before I regretted it.
I supported NAFTA before I regretted it.
I lobbied for the crime bill before I regretted it.
I lobbied for TPP before I regretted it.
I lobbied for welfare reform… oh wait, I don't regret that yet.

[kennetha]

26. That wasn't Roves line

That was Kerry's own stupidity

[jillan]

27. And Karl Rove used it as part of the swiftboating of John Kerry.

[jfern]

22. Hillary is a compulsive liar

[DefenseLawyer]

23. Pathetic

Lying about Sanders is bad enough, but then calling him a liar for denying your lie? That's staightup Karl Rove shit right there.

[Carlo Marx]

24. Most people saw the Kerry swift boating, the Rove racial smears as vile, not inspirational.

The Clintons are ground breakers in dirty politics. If Hillary wasn't so powerful it would be amusing to watch the incompetence and the embarrassingly detached behavior.

[pdsimdars]

25. It gets easier and easier to see who the smart people are voting for

you know, the ones who can follow a thought and are interested in the truth.

[kennetha]

28. Others have taken note

[Gwhittey]

30. Hmm this is excatly what Trump does

He lies and then double down on it. She must think Dems are as gullible as the Republicans. Well it worked on OP so, but the OP was already a koolaide drinker

[casperthegm]

31. This is not how a campaign should be run

This should never be excused away as "politics as usual." Lies are not ok. Yes, it's great that every time she does it Bernie's campaign is able to quickly refute it. Sometimes with comical pictures. It's kind of a combination of pathetic/funny. But HRC and her supporters have an awful lot of nerve if they expect us to support her if she wins the nomination. This is no way to run a campaign.
