Why I could NEVER vote for Hillary.... It's Disgusting

[monmouth]

Voice: Hello, This is the Hillary Clinton for President Campaign.
Before you vote on Saturday, you should know that John Edwards voted for permanent trade relations with China. That’s right, John Edwards voted for the bill that cost thousands of jobs. Like the ones in the textile mills he talks about so much down here.

You should also know that John Edwards made nearly a half a million dollars working for a Wall Street investment fund. A fund that’s been profiting on foreclosing on the homes of families; including 100 homes right here in South Carolina. That’s according to The State newspaper. Here in South Carolina, Edwards says he’s one of us, but up on Wall Street he was just another one of them.

Can you trust John Edwards? This call is paid for by the Hillary Clinton for President Campaign.

1. Que?

[neutron]

33. Edwards has been Smearing Hillary

in Daily Kos almost daily since summer.

Time she shoved a little of his own medicine up his sanctamonious a*s.

[jlake]

36. Yes and I don't think that the robo call is "disgusting"

it points factually shows that Edwards' schtick is insincere.

[cascadiance]

47. And hers isn't?!

Ms. Clinton does even more than what she claims Edwards to be doing. She's a heavy hitter for the Indian lobbyists for expanded H1B Visa outsourcing that's taking away a lot of our high tech jobs!

44. Barack and the Independant campaigns

An article in the USA Today talks about Independants running campaign ads in Iowa and Barack asked John to tell them to stop because they may not all support him. Now, the same thing is happening in California, and Barack has been asked to tell the independants to stop running campaign ads because they may not all support him. Well, he states, I don't know anything about it so I'm not telling them to stop. Could this be considered double standards, or is this Baracks campaign strategy? I would have started my own thread but I'm not allowed. Sorry for hijacking the thread. :)

2. She's afraid of finishing third.

Going negative is the only game she knows.

That being said, the fact that his trade votes doesn't match his new platform is a fair criticism.

[neutron]

19. That is a great AD

She'll SKEWER McCain.
All we're getting from Obama is "boo hoo hillary is picking on me."

Go Hillary!

[Radical Activist]

42. Going negative is the Republican game.

They always do it because it makes people get discouraged and stay home. That only helps the Republicans in the long run. Hillary going negative is a direct response to all the first time voters in Iowa. She's threatened by new voters.

[rodeodance]

49. and Obama attachs Bill

[Radical Activist]

50. that's how it works.

The person attacked has to respond, then there's more media coverage about it, and eventually everyone gets disgusted with both sides and stays home. Its a horrible cycle and its a game Lee Atwater and Rove play because they know it helps their party in the long run.

[babylonsister]

3. This smells like desperation, but she's practiced at smearing people. nt

[gaiilonfong]

6. OK Edwards supporters How is Hillary NOW!

How does it feel to have your candidate smeared by the most corrupt disgusting Taylor marsh loving DLC crooks EVER????

[neutron]

30. Edwards was Smearing

Postioning his silly ass as the "grown-up"

Clinton should have aired his tantrum after Matthews asked about
his $400 haircut.

[ursi]

57. I'd love to know how much Hilly spends on her hair and makeup

[Adelante]

31. Heh, all the snugglies come to a screeching halt!

I have to say, though, this script on Edwards is actually true, which is a nice change. It's not like the mailers twisting Obama's Choice record.

[creeksneakers2]

34. Edwards is the mud slinging champ

Hillary is just telling people where its at.

[aquart]

7. Is the caller lying?

[Emit]

4. Can you check your link -- not working for me. Tx n/t

[monmouth]

14. Sorry, try this one....

[Emit]

32. LOL! O.K.

But, where's the link? :shrug:

[monmouth]

38. In the original OP..I changed it there for new readers..

[KennedyGuy]

5. ooohh..someone just called me from the Edwards camp and said Hill was a bitch..

Edwards just lost my vote..

[aquart]

10. He can't afford those calls.

[dkf]

18. Are you making fun or did this really happen?

[rodeodance]

25. ha, shows the sillyness that goes on here so often!

[rodeodance]

29. btw--i liked your post--good response to the sillyness (AKA clinton hatred)

[unapatriciated]

52. I spent all of yesterday phone banking for Edwards and....

not once did I call another candidate names or talk about their past or policies. In fact I defended both Obama and Clinton on three calls, one was when the person erroneously stated Obama was a muslim, another was when they used the term that Clinton was a shrill b. I had one call where the gentleman hated all three using the first two terms and added sleazy for Edwards. I was never instructed by Edwards campaign to defame another candidate. I was calling to see if they were voting and who they were voting for period. If they were undecided, than and only than did I discuss Edwards policies not Clinton's nor Obama's. I'm sorry that someone would do that and am sure that the Edwards Campaign would like to know about it. You do know it is possible to trace who made the call to your home since we have to log on and they supply the numbers. At a recent rally Edwards campaign people told us that there might be people who did not support him in attendance. They requested that we did not react with boos or name calling. So I encourage you to contact his campaign and complain.

[SammyWinstonJack]

8. If true, that is disgusting! Is Hillary poor?

:silly: Oh and didn't NAFTA cost Americans jobs? :wow:

[MannyGoldstein]

9. Bill Clinton Originated It, And Hillary's On Record As For It

Scum.

[Deja Q]

12. Nobody's perfect...

[Deja Q]

11. Will she talk about her big, firm Tata?

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=hillary+tata+10&btnG=Search

[KennedyGuy]

16. Oh..I do so hope she will...

[DJ13]

17. "Will she talk about her big, firm Tata?"

At her age I doubt her tatas are firm........

[Triana]

13. SAME HERE - she has lost my vote under ANY circumstance and...

...every iota of respect I ever had for her.

She can kiss my white patootie.

[fascisthunter]

15. she's a despicable sellout

like her trolls

[Jai4WKC08]

43. We're trolls?

Just because we defend Hillary Clinton?

That's a good one. And from someone who's been at DU for all of two months.
:rofl:

[tritsofme]

20. So are you disputing the content of the message?

Politics is a blood sport, if you can't take the heat get out of the kitchen.

[Seabiscuit]

26. I dispute the content of the message. Yep. Damned right I do, as should you.

It is a complete distortion of the facts and you should know it.

[tritsofme]

37. Well lets have a look at what is said.

Edwards voted for permanent trade relations with China, check.

Edwards made an assload of money "learning" about poverty at a hedge fund, check.

The hedge fund where Edwards worked and the different arms of its business did and is doing some shady shit.

You might not like some of the things Mr. Edwards has done with his life, but I see no reason not to expose these simple facts and let the voters decide.

[george_maniakes]

28. the candidates are accountable for the way they run their campaigns.

If hillary is running a gutter politics campaign, saying "thats politics, suck it up" doesnt excuse her decisions. It does maybe speak to your expectations of your candidates behavior on campaign.

[1corona4u]

41. It's fucking politics.

Faux outrage from people on this thread is hilarious.

[george_maniakes]

45. what would you prefer, just an all out slime fest where its not the candidates that matter...

its how much crap they can throw at their opponent? Thats a crappy standard to be achieved. Whatever happened to trying to raise the level of discourse?

[1corona4u]

46. Is this your first election?

Get real.

[Occam Bandage]

21. She didn't lie. Attack calls are expected; every candidate does them.

[MilesColtrane]

22. If you think Hillary does a good job of dividing the Democrats against each other.

Just wait and see how she does with the entire voter roll in the general election.

It will make the Civil War look like a polite disagreement.

[2hip]

59. This is THE #1 issue many won't even acknowledge

We will lose the GE if HC is our nominee...the Repugs have an irrational hatred of the Clintons that Dems have failed to consider and it's an oversight that will sink us.


        Edwards '08 tees!

[Seabiscuit]

23. She sees the writing on the wall - that Edwards will come from behind and

deny her the nomination. Since she can't tolerate the propsect of losing, she's already bitterly handing the GOP a bucket of slime to use against him in the GE.

[Big Blue Marble]

24. If my memory serves me right,

weren't permanent trade relations with China established under a Clinton Administration?
This seems like blatant hypocrisy.

http://archives.cnn.com/2000/ALLPOLITICS/stories/10/10/clinton.pntr/

Clinton signs China Trade Bill. 10/10/00

[Windy]

35. Oh BBM, be careful, you're spreading facts!!! n/t

[CK_John]

40. Nixon did it. It's Nixon fault. n/t

[unapatriciated]

53. naw it's Raygunomics, Nixon wasn't even a trickle.

[MannyGoldstein]

48. Absolutely

It was Clinton's baby all the way.

[TwilightGardener]

27. Unpleasant, but if it's factually correct, it's not really a smear.

[george_maniakes]

39. thats so wrong. Taking comments out of context so they lose the meaning the speaker intended is ...

so wrong.

[donheld]

51. We all know Mrs Clinton would have voted for the same thing

If she had been in the senate then.

[zulchzulu]

54. Here would be the response

Voice: Hello, This is the Hillary Clinton for President Campaign.

Before you vote on Saturday, you should know that my husband Bill signed the legislation for permanent trade relations with China. That’s right, Bill Clinton signed that bill that cost thousands of jobs and took away our steel industry and gave your poisonous toys for your children.

You should also know that Bill Clinton signed NAFTA and other free trade bills that just about every Republican is clapping about. Yes, he's a cheating skirt-chaser and I have borrowed his resumé for mine to say I'm experienced, but that's just the kind of gal I am.

Can you trust me? I sure hope so, you dummy. (Insert cackle here) This call is paid for by the Hillary Clinton for President Campaign.

[zulchzulu]

58. WOW!!! Listen to this Hillary ad she wrote. It's like she read my comment!

MP3 of Hillary ad

Dang, how did they do that?

:shrug:

[ursi]

55. The greedy liars want back in the White House with their hands on power

...and will resort to desperate measures to get it. Jerks.
