Hillary's opinion on the caucus process right before iowa? Anyone?
You see, this is why she lost, and why obama won.

Even an uneducated man like me knows hypocrisy when its staring him in the face.

1. Iowans can spot a fake when they see one up close.
That's why she finished third there. There's a good reason why she doesn't do well in the Midwest.

2. It's her team's fault for not succeeding in the caucuses. They lost at that strategy so
it's rather hypocritical for them to whine about their own failures.

3. I dont believe Bill Clinton bitched about Caucus process
in the 90's...now all the sudden they are bad (only because she does do Caucus well)...

4. Here are her statements about my MI primary
"I personally did not think it made any difference whether my name was
on the ballot. You know, It's clear this election they are having is
not going to count for anything." - Hillary Clinton, before the MI
primary

"I have consistently said that the votes cast in Florida and Michigan
in January should be counted. " - Hillary Clinton, after the MI
primary

I would guess you won't find anti-caucus statements from the Clintons, until she started losing them.

5. And this is where from camp clinton there is silence...
when faced with the obvious hypocrisy and self-serving statements on this issue before and after, there is no reply.

10. Look at what Hillary said BEFORE the caucuses!!
Directly quoted from her Web site:

"http://www.hillaryclinton.com/hq/iowa/caucus/

"I want to thank all of my supporters and everyone I have met
in Iowa over the past 11 months. I am in awe of your commitment to the WONDERFUL TRADITION OF THE CAUCUSES. Now they are here, and I hope that on January 3, you will stand up and be counted for me

She also has links on her site, offering to give ANYONE a ride to the caucuses, or to help out anyone who needs assistance or childcare the night of the caucus.

After losing the Iowa caucuses, Hillary attempts to throw the entire
process under the bus, and claim that the caucuses disenfranchise people.
She did everything in her power to get her supporters to the caucuses--offering childcare and rides.

By her own words--Hillary is a liar. She used to be a big fan of this "wonderful tradition."

What a louse she is.

11. Does anyone have some kind of quote of hers being critical of the caucuses BEFORE iowa?
I mean by her own words she has no leg to stand on, and yet she continues at this game of "caucuses suck because i suck at caucuses."
