It's such a coincidence!!!
That the most basic tenets of civil rights just happens to coincide with Hillary's personal interests in trying to get more delegates.

Can anyone here tell me what Hillary's position on FL and MI would be if Obama had won those states? Anyone? Anyone?

Edited on Fri May-23-08 06:26 AM by Jake3463
and I would be calling for Obama to stop it if the situation was reversed.

The problem right now is you guys are enabling her.

8. It's a false choice,
because who won or didn't win, or whether they count or don't count, is a peripheral issue. The issue is that Clinton signed the same agreement as everyone else when she thought she was simply going to be handed the nomination. When things didn't work out her way, she suddenly wanted to throw out the agreement that she herself signed. All the other candidates still followed the agreement to the letter. Clinton's a lawyer; she should know better. She can't have it both ways. She was the only one on the ballot in Michigan because she didn't have the integrity to live up to her agreements like everyone else. And she thinks that should count?

Just go the fuck away, Hillary, while there are a few people left who can stand the sight of you.

5. I'd like to know where Hillary was in 2000 and 2004.
If you want to talk about safeguarding voting rights, that is.

9. You know what . . .
That really IS the question.

She didn't have anything personal to gain then, therefore she couldn't have cared less.

10. That's the crux of this issue
She/They (Clinton's) only care about issues when it's politically expedient for them and serves their own interests.

8 years too late on the voting rights issues and she still can't understand that the issue before her now has zero to do with 2000 or 2004.

7. She's be spluttering about how they shouldn't count.
After all, they ALL signed the agreement.
