To me young voters are ON TO THE LOSERs the ClintonS........Yo Bill go away your time is past!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
QUAKERTOWN, Pa. -- Older voters gravitate to Hillary Clinton because they're too wise to be fooled by Barack Obama's rhetoric, former president Bill Clinton told Pennsylvania voters today.

Clinton's comments, to a packed high school gym about an hour north of Philadelphia, were one part presidential politics and one part legacy protection. His beef was with Obama's contention that many of the problems facing the country today were simmering long before President Bush took office seven-plus years ago.

[EFerrari]

1. And I'm too old to be fooled by yours, Bill.

lol

[Independent-Voter]

2. "a packed high school gym" LOL

God damn the Clintons are a fucking joke.

[Darth_Kitten]

6. Yeah, a successful president..........

what right does he have to say anything? :sarcasm:

[gaiilonfong]

15. a successful president

WHO BLEW and now is making it WORSE


109 mill from FOREIGN governments and CRIMINALS...yeah that is success ReTHUGlican style..

Clinton should be the nominee of the Connecticut for LIEbermaqn Party!

[PVnRT]

25. He has the right to say anything

...and when it's stupid, he'll get called on it.

[TheDoorbellRang]

35. I guess a former president is elite enough to call voters stupid

:eyes:

[Connie_Corleone]

3. Calling young voters fools. Wow.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

20. Quick national headlines - Clinton called voters fools

eh Bill clinton that is

[Skwmom]

4. He's upset that Clinton policies which shipped jobs overseas and deregulation

which led to the subprime crisis are being exposed. And let's not forget the vote on the IWR (which they thought would be Hillary's ticket to the Whitehouse).

[marmar]

5. More strong evidence that the Clintons are completely out of touch.........

..... and that era of Democratic politics needs to end. Now.

[Darth_Kitten]

8. I wonder if a lot of Obama supporters remember the 90's....and the 80's

n/t

[marmar]

9. Umm. The '90s were like a weekend in Vegas: They were fun while they lasted.....

..... But when they're over, you realize the damage caused by all the gambling and excess.

[Double T]

7. The problem with YOUTH is that THEY believe they know it ALL.

The startling Revelation is that THEY DON'T!! The Big Dog is ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. Think BEFORE YOU vote.

[madmom]

17. I agree 100%, I work with young people, they really don't think before they do anything! (most)

[Double T]

18. Yep. We ALL were YOUTHS at one time and the older we became.........

the MORE we realized how wrong we were. Idealism is GREAT; it just has NO PLACE in politics or elections.

[PVnRT]

27. No idealism in politics?

I guess my generation should just do what the boomers tell us to, since we're so dumb.

[BumRushDaShow]

31. Time to repeal the 26th Amendment!

Let's be those crabs in the barrel, saith the generation who insisted on not trusting anyone over 30 (until they were over 30).

:eyes:

(and yes, I am pushing 50)

[cali]

32. Why that young sprig, Pat Leahy!

And all the other reckless youth like Kerry, Kennedy, Sebelius... and me.

I think. I'm educated. I don't need Bill Clinton to tell me what to do.

[Double T]

34. Oh YES YOU DO!!!

[Eric J in MN]

10. Bill Clinton says that older people remember the 1990s...

...is a better way to summarize what he said.

=====
"I think there is a big reason there's an age difference in a lot of these polls," he said. "Because once you've reached a certain age, you won't sit there and listen to somebody tell you there's really no difference between what happened in the Bush years and the Clinton years; that there's not much difference in how small-town Pennsylvania fared when I was president, and in this decade."

[AZSlacker]

11. I'm in ur booths, votin against ur wife!!

[bluethruandthru]

12. I wonder if that comment, that insults an entire group of people

will get the same coverage and outrage from the media that Obama's "bitter" comment did? To me, it seems much worse to call a group "unwise" than it is to say a group is "bitter".

I won't hold my breath waiting for the 24/7 media coverage.

[JohnnyLib2]

13. Maybe this levels the field somewhat?

Boomers and older were insulted early, if they chose that interpretation.
Now, youth can feel insulted, if they choose that interpretation.

And on with the primaries....:shrug:

[tularetom]

14. This "older voter" calls bullshit on that.

In fact Ms Tom, who is hillary's prime demographic (60+ middle class white women) said she will sit this one out if hillary is the nominee. I have 6 months to talk her out of that and I think I can do it, but one year ago she was looking forward to a hillary presidency. And for both of us, bill's performance in the campaign has been a heeuge part of why neither of us supports a clinton candidacy.

He needs to spend the rest of his days riding around in daddy bus's golf cart reminiscing about the good ol days when they both made the world safe for corporations.

And hillary? I would suggest that after this sorry performance her senate seat may be in some jeopardy. Or she may just lose interest and leave before the end of her term.

[high density]

16. I feel foolish for once upon a time supporting the Clintons

How unwise of me.

[gaiilonfong]

19. me too

I defended them everytime even when they were lying....
but I hve come to the conclusion the ReTHUGS were right about them...that the ClintonS will say ANYTHING for power

[susankh4]

21. Bill is our only hope now....

to woo the south. Hillary can't do it without him. Neither can Barack.

Don't write him off. He will be Barack's best friend, once the ticket order is determined.

[Spider Jerusalem]

22. Not true at all

There are several potential VP choices who could do that, and likely do it better than Bill could (Jim Webb comes to mind).

[Hugabear]

24. Are you talking about the same South where Obama has been doing very well?

n/t

[susankh4]

33. I am talking about the *General Election*

[Hugabear]

39. So am I

Obama has been doing very well in the South so far, better than Hillary. So what makes you think that suddenly Hillary is going to be able to carry the South in November?

[mckeown1128]

23. I like how all the flower children(young voters) of the 60's who wanted

to be heard, who wanted to be taken seriously, who wanted to end the war... all of a sudden think young voters are stupid and shouldn't be taken seriously. If I had a nickle for every "pimple faced" slur I have heard out of Clinton supporters... I would be rich.

[PVnRT]

30. That bugs me as well

Was the "idealism" behind the two Kennedy campaigns idiotic as well?

[mod mom]

26. Younger voters, who are more likely to utilize the internet to research information, are better

informed than ever before-this is the reason they support Sen Obama.

I believe it took years to evaluate the policies that Bill put in place (NAFTA, FAVORED TRADE W CHINA, TELECOM ACT OF '96, BANKING MERGERS). Many well informed people have realized that those policies, while they might have been good in the short term, have helped cause our current problems.

[ClassWarrior]

28. Old folks aren't as wired, so they can't fact-check as easily.

NGU.

[oviedodem]

29. Bang up job driving away the new young democrats; idiot.

[Teaser]

36. Stick with this "big dog"

[MethuenProgressive]

37. Your headline is disproven by your link.

Why make chit up? Can't say anything good about your own candidate?

[gaiilonfong]

38. Ok Mr HillaryISN'T44

LMAO

[bunnies]

40. More insults for Obama supporters from camp Clinton.

Gee. I wonder why some people wont vote for her. hmmmm.

[knixphan]

41. Clintons are sooo afraid of the next gen!

But you can't stop progress, baby!
