I Have A Question About Hillary
Obama has the popular vote, right? Ok. And Obama has won the majority of the states with just a couple remaining which won't be enough for Hillary, right? Ok. Also, back when Al Gore won the popular vote against Bush didn't Hillary say that the electoral system should be changed to reflect the popular vote because that represented the majority will of the people? Didn't she say something to the effect that the majority will of the people is most important toward the legitimacy of the winning candidate?

So my question is what the hell does she think she's doing? Isn't the only way she can win is by her somehow getting delegates to ignore the will of the people?

What does that say about her character? That she gives a shit about we the people, or that she doesn't give a shit about nobody but her own self? Correct me if I am wrong, but, that's what it looks like to me. It looks like she's a hypocrite who doesn't give a shit about anybody but herself.

Am I incorrect here?

One less Hill-hater to deal with today!

5. So What's Up WIth Hillary's Character?
Why is Hillary giving the middle finger to the will of the people?

You know, unless I am incorrect about my point, her character on this issue is no different than that of a despot.

This should be a giant red flag especially considering the office she's trying to swindle her way into.

4. Who knows what the devil promised when she sold her soul.


























I think she was promised a bunch of these:





NAFTAGATE: The devil made me do it.
SNIPERGATE: The devil made me do it.
IWR VOTE: The devil made me do it.


Maybe it's not too late to spend a little of that cash on an exorcism.

7. It's like Australian rules football, It's sort of the same game, but not quite.
When Hillary is running, it's whatever contest that she wins last that determines the ultimate winner.

8. Yes, you are incorrect.
Hillary is just using the current rules...that's politics.

The "popular vote" doesn't mean squat in this nomination process...delegates do.

All delegates, both pledged and super, can vote for whoever they want to at the convention.

Here's a toast to a floor fight over delegates and a massive free-for-all at the convention. :toast:

9. Thanks all
And as for Hillary. IMO her actions require that she be relegated to the same consideration as Lieberman, Bush, Cheney, etc. Seriously, I think she has illustrated loudly enough during this champaign that she's a self serving elitist who will flip flop on a dime to serve either her own personal interests or her corporate sponsors interests and could care less about integrity or us people.

What a shame.

10. Hillary's goal is to "practically tie" the popular vote (including Florida and Michigan)
She also wants to emerge as the best candidate to beat John McCain in November.

In the end it will be for the (pledged and super) delegates to choose the nominee.
