"Clinton Campaign Deepens Divisions"
(Not all of those "hard working white Americans" seem impressed)

"Sen. Hillary Clinton and members of her entourage, including daughter Chelsea and husband Bill, will be seen by many West Virginians during the next few days, as Clinton attempts to woo voters in the Tuesday primary election. Increasingly, however, it is becoming apparent that Clinton is fighting a losing battle. Her campaign is doing nothing more than deepening a rift in her party — and we don’t think the staunch Democrats of the Mountain State like that idea."

1. Bill deepening divisions? YOU BETHCHA!!!
Per ABC News' Sarah Amos, this is what the 42nd president of the United States said Friday in Ripley, W.Va.:"Hillary is in this race because of people like you and places like this and no matter what they say," Clinton said. "And no matter how much fun they make of your support of her and the fact that working people all over America have stuck with her, she thinks you're as smart as they are. She thinks you've got as much right to have your say as anybody else.

In Madison, W.Va.: "It is very interesting, from the very beginning of this race there has been a sharp divide in the vote -- the people who need a president, who need to turn the economy around, who need to restore the middle class, who need to give poor people a chance to work their way into the middle class, who need to give our children a better future, who need to restore our standing in the world and the war in Iraq, but do it in a way that rebuilds our military and stands up for America's security and standing around the world -- they have been for her from the get-go."

And on and on... Ginning up the resentments and the class divide (and maybe other divisions). ... His message to these voters: Obama and the media are laughing at you and think you're stupid!!!

2. It's called "turning your opponent's strength into weakness"
Edited on Sun May-11-08 09:47 AM by rocknation
If unity, self-empowerment, and "little people" donations are what have made Obama successful, then that's what have to be destroyed: re-introduce the fear, bigotry and powerlessness into the voters that the Rethugs have been feasting on for the past eight years, and cut down on his cash flow with rumors that he'll use his supporters' contributions to pay off her campaign debts!

:mad:

4. That sadly, is an accurate statement
It's sad to have people you admired, be exposed as frauds and not the people you thought they were.
