Excellent article illustrating the Clintons lack of principle in their last days campaigning

Guy T. Saperstein's "What Game Is Hillary Playing?" is an excellent analysis on the Clinton's last hurrah and how they have imposed an ever-decreasing level of standards when it comes to the truth, making valid claims and displaying a case of desperate behavior that is bound to be part of the Clinton legacy:



With other recent statements from the Clintons about how there is a cover-up within the Democratic Party and insinuations by some Clinton supporters that they would vote for McCain, who many remember was more or less endorsed by Hillary Clinton, it certainly makes clear-eyed Democrats wondering just what the Clintons are more concerned with... a Democratic White House or some phantasmagoric delusion that the Clintons win at our peril.

And the reason they wanted to sanction FL and MI in the beginning was due to fear another candidate would get an advantage over Clinton. Now that it happened even with their string pulling, more dirty tricks are in order. Reality is a bitch for those folks.

but I totally agree

I didn't see it in that thread.

:thumbsup:

The stunner, which I think I've heard in the past yet never ceases to amaze, is: "What has changed is that now we are behind."

On edit: I can't get the link this time. Don't know if server's down or not. Just FYI.

Finally, a modicum of truth oozes its way out of the Clinton campaign.

:kick: and REC'D!!!

...leading into the Last Act.

That's actually one of the few honest statements from the Clinton campaign.

She has had plenty of chances to exit gracefully but chose instead to behave like a jackass in her demented insistence that this nomination is hers.

As someone on one of the MSM pundit shows made a point of, it's as though the Clintons don't understand the new political reality of two things: Google and YouTube.

It's as though they think people can't see previous statements or can't look up previous positions. They are truly so last century...

Unfortunately for them, they miscalculated and will forever be remembered for this embarrassing chapter of their careers.

"Smoothing it over" is long past impossible at this point.

"Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, prepare for doom."

I loves me some Matt Taibbi!

From average-above average down to below average.

It's now clearer that Bill's legacy includes the loss of the senate and congress, and Gore's loss in 2000. He paved the way for Bush's terms which undid much of his legislation.

for too long..it's their nature but this is our country and they are not going to hijack it again.

Thanks, zulch..I love articles like these that explicitly lay out how bilary is trying to CHEAT.

Bingo.


Billary is like the abusive spouse who kills their supposed loved-one to prevent them from leaving.

Honestly, she coasted on the "Inevitability" thing, while Obama worked at winning Iowa. She felt she'd have it wrapped up by Super Tuesday, and he did the groundwork in all those states that came after that in February. He rolled her 11 in a row and that pretty much has been the ballgame. Florida and Michigan were insignificant, her campaign felt they weren't needed, they agreed to the rules and worked on getting SDs committed at an early juncture. It's interesting to see the way the Clintons reacted when they realized she almost had no shot of winning. All of a sudden, Florida and Michigan matter. And only certain states matter. Then all of a sudden she gets a big victory or two in smaller states and that means she's more electable. Truly fascinating the lengths they are going to get power. Not too good for the party, but an interesting study.

by lying and becoming the "white mans" candidate.

I read an article yesterday that basically said the reason the Clinton's are sooooooo desperate now in not only their need to get in the WH, but because they have burned their bridges behind them. Her popularity in NY had diminished, there have been at least one protest outside his Harlem office and her standing in the Senate has been tarnished. Another article said that when she recently returned to the Senate for hearings, that there were eight empty seats around her because her Democratic colleagues did not want to be associated with her.

The Clintons have played this game their way, and because Barack didn't stoop to their level, their behavior has become apparent. They have used race in their strategy while screaming gender bias, and only those that support them blindly have not seen the falicy of their words/arguments. They used "white speak" thinking that only the population they were covertly speaking to would understand their words; not realizing that many of us who do not agree with it would also understand. They played the game and they lost, but they are very bad losers. :mad:

All the crying and whining when this simple fact is pointed out to them is becoming a case study for armchair psychologists around the world.

Truly a stunning display of contempt for the intelligence of the electorate.

Dodd and Kucinich were also on the ballot. If he can't get that right, why should I trust him at all.

try and keep up.

your blinded by your support for Hillary irregardless.

This OP nails it. If the truth hurts, too bad.

The Clintons don't get a free pass for their usual triangulation and deception.

The Clintons have never had any principles at all. They were just good con artists. Nothing more.

Why on God's Green Earth did anyone ever think that Bill Clinton was good for either the Democratic party or liberal issues? I have never understood that. Welfare reform, NAFTA, Don't Ask Don't Tell, which was an INSULT to gays, loss of congress, failed health care reform, I could go on and on. And lets not pretend that he had so much to do with the economy of the times either. It was under him that the gap between rich and poor dramatically began to increase. It was then that the joke started about low paying services jobs in this country, "There have been millions of jobs created! Yeah and I have two of them". I only started feeling a bit kinder to him when Bush came into office and compared to that, well, Clinton looked brilliant. But now I am reminded of all the reasons why I've always despised the Clintons. Absolutely soulless.

IF she doesn't win, we are going to vote for McCain!

How old are we? So you would destroy the country even more because you are acting like a baby because YOUR candidate just couldn't past muster?

And all this Hillary is losing because of sexism crap. Did any of them stop to think that people just don't like the Clinton's, and i am not talking about for the usual right wing conspiracy reasons. some of us just don't like their style of politics, the end! I certainly won't vote for her just cause she is a woman!

Either way, we get a black man or a woman candidate, historic all around, you can't win them all the first time.

I read this article the other day and realized that no matter what the "facts" are, it doesn't matter to Hill/Bill.

- They are the saddest excuse for Democrats that I've ever seen.....

An extremely rare bit of honesty from the Clinton campaign. I wonder if Ickes realized he gave proof to what Obama supporters have been saying all along.

you don't need us voters just seize the throne

that people on this board can still support her?

She is scum.
