22. The Clintons are reaping what they've sown.
Hillary has LIED openly numerous times. She continually distorts and twists facts and logic. She is placing emphasis on the importance of the "WHITE" vote. She is disparaging our presumptive nominee. Her surrogates have THREATENED Pelosi, Dean, the DNC, and the DCCC.

Bill has race-baited and wagged his finger and has unleashed various tirades throughout the campaign. What's worse, anyone who comes out in support of Obama is branded a TRAITOR and slandered in the press.

They have made the mistake of taking endorsements of Obama as a personal affront instead of recognizing that people have a different opinion about who would make the better president. Their treatment of Richardson and Andrew I think were awful... just to name a couple.

Chelsea.... now here's my problem. i adore chelsea. I always have and I probably always will - unless she turns out like her parents. BUT she is a GROWN WOMAN who has chosen to be involved in Hillary's political campaign. She can go out and stump for her mom, but not have to face tough questions or scrutiny? Why is she untouchable? I think it's fine you are helping your mom, but when campaigning, you have to take the bad with the good. She's trying to have it both ways. Secondly, and this hasn't been talked about to a large extent, but because her mother is a wretched liar, Chelsea has been put in the position multiple times of either having to publicly say that her mother is incorrect OR lie herself to protect her mother's lie. She has been made complicit in the lies. That angers me MUCH more with Hillary than with Chelsea.

Truth is an absolute and I don't care to be lied to. Not by Hillary. Not by Bill. Not by Chelsea. Not by anyone. And to do so SO BLATANTLY is just insulting to my intelligence and I take offense.

Like it or not (and believe me I don't like it) Chelsea is a surrogate of this campaign. She CHOSE to be an official speaker of the campaign. She is NOT A LITTLE GIRL. She is a grown woman. If she were 12 I could see your outrage. But she is 28. Old enough to run for public office herself. People have every right to scrutinize her as much as they scrutinize any other campaign surrogate.
