Clinton accuses Obama supporters of false hope!!!

[mckeown1128]

New York Sen. Hillary Clinton, reeling from defeat in Iowa at the hands of Barack Obama, urged Democratic voters on Friday not to build up "false hopes" by choosing an inexperienced presidential candidate.

In Iowa, which kicked off the process of choosing the next U.S. president with its caucuses on Thursday, the former first lady finished a disappointing third, nine percentage points behind Obama and narrowly behind former North Carolina Sen. John Edwards.

"This is a new day, this is a new state," Clinton told reporters after arriving in the New England state. Despite her loss, she said she would continue to contrast her resume with Obama's comparative youth and inexperience.

"We can't have false hopes. We've got to have a person who can walk into that Oval office on day one and start doing the hard work that it takes to deliver change," she said.

1. She's going down. nt

[itsrobert]

2. What is "false" hope?

that doesn't make sense.

[Peregrine Took]

9. When my mom was dying of cancer the doctor told us not to give her "false

hope" - she was doomed.

[skooooo]

13. Maybe she means..

.."unrealistic?"

[BringBigDogBack]

3. lol!

[rodeodance]

4. and why do you include the word supporters in your subject line?

[indimuse]

37. YOU are a LIAR!!! Just like your guy!

Clinton accuses Obama supporters of false hope!!! There is nothing about this true. Really look at what you posted...That is pure shit!Obama does NOT deserve supporters like you! You are the reason I can't stand his ass anymore!:nuke:

[annie1]

5. she shoulda said "random hope" and she'da been spot on.

[CyberPieHole]

6. Where exactly does she "accuse"?

Or is that your spin? Can you link to the word "accuses"?

[JuniperLea]

7. She had momentum...

Now that momentum is a downward spiral. She just doesn't get it. I feel for her, really I do. So much for inevitability.

[Sulawesi]

8. Now there is a positive message, your hope is misplaced! Vote for me!

[laureloak]

10. "False hope" - that statement rings true to me. n/t

[Cameron27]

11. There's nothing wrong with that statement,

anyone can use the words hope and change as a campaign slogan, but unless they define those terms that's all they are. A woman as the first President in this country's history is as much change as having Obama elected. Hope? What does that mean?

18. Re3ad or watch the speech last night and then ask me that question.

21. I watched his entire speech,

and it was masterful, but I'm not voting for hope and I'm not voting for inspiration. I want a hard-nosed politician who can get at least some of the things I want and need successfully passed through congress. How and why is Obama better able to do that than Clinton?

23. The entire Democratic field has shown better judgment than Hillary Clinton

None of them, once burned by Bush on Iraq, would have voted to once again trust Bush with the authority to go to war in Iran. While Biden and Dodd voted against the warmongering Kyl-Lieberman Iran bombing resolution, Hillary could not resist joining the traitor Joe Lieberman in giving Bush another green light for war.

I want a hard-nosed politician who can get at least some of the things I want and need successfully passed through congress.

Hillary's dismal failure on health reform set back for over a decade efforts to provide universal health care for all Americans.

There isn't a single major piece of legislation that Hillary can take credit for.

Check Obama's record in the Illinois legislature. It is a record of solid accomplishments and bipartisan cooperation, despite initial opposition (such as the law that required video taping of police interrogations, to prevent police abuses).

[Cameron27]

31. Hillary's dismal failure on health care reform

was due to a combined corporate, republican attack. What were the rest of her rivals doing about health care at that time. The rest is just hyperbole, she trusted bush, a big mistake, but if you read her floor speech, she warned bush about invasion and was voting for more UN intervention and more inspections.

Read Edwards' floor speech, his voting record on Iraq, and his cosponsorship of Lieberman's amendment and Hillary comes across as a dove.

[The Ghost]

12. WOW

that isnt just negative towards Obama, or anyone, its just purely negative in general. fucking hell, what a downer of a statement. i mean seriously, its depressing to hear that from any Dem, with all thats going on in the world. Shes really starting to drown now.

[K Gardner]

14. Oh.. Hillary, Hillary.. where art thou Hillary? That is just not going to resonate well with the

millions of people who want to vote for Hope.

[Cameron27]

16. Vote for hope?

Hope in what? I hope a Democrat is the next president, what other hope is Obama offering based on his senate voting record?

[annie1]

24. please tell me what is a vote for hope.

[K Gardner]

27. It's very sad someone would have to tell you that. But then, you

haven't even decided who you like. One minute you're all Obama, the next you're all Hill, the next you're dissing Obama. When you figure out what you're hoping for, you'll know what a vote for hope is.

[jefferson_dem]

15. It's not Hillary...It's Debbie Downer!

What a drag she is.

[K Gardner]

19. ROFLMAO.. that should be the official avatar now.

[indimuse]

17. well it is "false hope"..

when you tout a policy being "universal" and IT'S NOT!...



buyer beware...:evilgrin:

[pennylane100]

20. One of sales golden rules,

do not talk bad about your opponent. You have to demonstrate your strengths and downplay theirs. She could do a lot better in choosing her advisors.

[Cha]

28. And hillary should have

started a long time ago.. "She could do a lot better in choosing her advisors."

[indimuse]

35. agreed.

:smoke:

[IndianaGreen]

22. Hillary already dissed Iowa, and now she is berating Obama supporters

We know that there is no sewer low enough for the Clintons to drag us through if it saves their political skins. This is going to get very ugly!

[BootinUp]

25. Obama supporter attacks Hillary!!!

film at eleven.

[Jai4WKC08]

38. I think you're too subtle for most of these people

;)

[Cha]

26. Now she's begging.

False hope is what hillary gave me and some of her constituents in New York when we begged her not to vote for the IWR and support the bushits on their raping of America.

[hayu_lol]

32. I see the same vendetta is still carrying their torches and hot tar...

wonderful how the Repugnant Hate Machine feeds off Dems.

Obama got 40%

Edwards/Clinton got 60%

A little food for thought there for those with real minds.

Oh yeah, less than a percentage point difference between Edwards/Clinton...it is a real tie, not an implied one.

Now, if Edwards just wouldn't sound so much like Lindsey Graham when he speaks....

[Cha]

34. And I see you

ignore facts.

[cali]

36. Obama/Edwards got 70%. Clinton got 30%. Or: Clinton/Obama

got 70% and Edwards got 30%.

Thank you so much for that delicious red herring.

[CarbonDate]

29. CarbonDate to New Hampshire: don't give Hillary "false hope".

Dear gods, she's fucking cynical.

[Cha]

30. I guess she didn't listen

to Obama's Iowa victory speech..he quite defined what "Hope" is and anyone who has guts has that hope. Try to keep up, hillary.

[BeyondGeography]

33. Didn't Bill used to believe in a place called Hope?

[BeyondGeography]

39. Hope-less

[Cessna Invesco Palin]

40. You know what this reminds me of?

Sadly, it reminds me of GHWB and his "bozos" statement about Clinton/Gore. I really wish I didn't have to say that.
