Bill Clinton gives speech at polling station, breaking the law with impunity - IS HE ABOVE THE LAW?

[Dragonfli]

Bernie Sanders supporters booted who were further away for just carrying signs.
Bill ACTIVELY CAMPAIGNS FOR HILLARY WITH A BULLHORN DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF POLLING STATION

That the law only applies to the little people and not to our self proclaimed royalty would appear to be quite true!

I wonder, now that there is indisputable proof that Bill is completely above the law, If Hillary may break the law as she sees fit as well. Never mind, I think I already know the answer to that.

At least we know now that the Clintons have to cheat and even break the law if they want to win, I guess they must know with some certainty they would lose in a fair primary, or they would hide the cheating better or even Goddess forbid, not cheat at all let alone break the law to do so.

1. Read the law and then show me where he broke it. Thanks. nt

6. How about No electioneering within 150 feet? That will do, for starters. n/t

[JaneyVee]

8. Electioneering means flyers, pins, or mentioning names.

[Dragonfli]

14. Bullshit and you know it, he was there campaigning for his wife.

Pretend all you want to, what he did was far worse of a violation than posting a "sticker" and the worst part is you bloody know it and condone such dishonest behavior.

I am very disappointing in you, but not surprised by you.

15. Primaries are run by political parties, not the state or the government

From what I've seen so far neither parties have a issue w candidates showing up at primary or caucus polling places.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

16. That is not the case in CA.

[emulatorloo]

22. Excellent!

[HooptieWagon]

26. Totally incorrect.

Parties run the caucuses. If the parties opt for a primary, it is conducted by the state and local elections officials. The Presidential primary piggybacks on the state and local primaries, which would be held anyway.

[aidbo]

31. ^Right. ^

http://blog.constitutioncenter.org/2015/09/who-controls-primary-elections-and-who-gets-to-vote/

An important layer in this system is the federal government, which mandates that all federal elections, primary or otherwise, be held in accordance with the Voting Rights Act. This ability is derived from its enforcement power under the 15th Amendment.

[emulatorloo]

44. Thanks for the correction. Yes I was thinking about caucuses and ass-ummed primaries were the same

Really appreciate it.

[cherokeeprogressive]

43. Wow. Take a civics class. Elections are run by counties, under the supervision of the state.

[emulatorloo]

45. See reply 44

[fun n serious]

23. He did NOT violate any laws.

He was not campaigning and did not approach voters. A few approached him but he did not say a word about how they should vote. He is within the law.

[questionseverything]

27. lol thanks for the laugh

so giving a speech with a bullhorn isn't campaigning?

this rabbit hole stuff just makes me

[Dragonfli]

28. This posts tells a different story and it is BASED ON MA LAW

http://www.democraticunderground.com/12511386461

You are simply incorrect. It is not a felony or anything, but illegal, unethical as hell and proof that cheating is considered ethical by some that appear to lack ethics.

[fun n serious]

29. I read it. He was not campaigning.

Many candidates have greeted voters at polling places..He is not a candidate though and he was not campaigning.

[iAZZZo]

9. thank you for linking to mass. state statutes /s (n/t)

[yourpaljoey]

2. Will Bernie be forced to run as an Independent?

[amborin]

3. we already know the answer; and it's outrageous and unacceptable!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

4. I have no permissable words to express my outrage at this law-breaking move.

HOW DARE HE.

HE IS A SCUMBAG.

[snagglepuss]

10. I beginning to think both are unbalanced, Bill more so.

I think neither of them has ever developed the inner resources to deal with being regular people so as soon as they left the WH they've spent their lives obsessively plotting to get back so they can feel powerful again. I find their attitude smacks of the Bush regime's belief that they make their own reality.

11. Exhorting Democrats to vote? As an election protection

attorney who has actually gotten off her rear to show up at an actual polling place to protect the vote of actual people, would you kindly point to the actual law you think was broken?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

20. This post should answer any questions you have:

[msanthrope]

32. Can't see any law broken. ....kindly explain to me what you

think is a crime.

[renate]

17. I've never seen you be anything less than sweet as pie

I'm glad you broke your streak for this.

I love you.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

24. Thank you!

I have a terrible temper and I usually know how and when to use it.

Today is that day.

Love you too.

[think]

5. When you're part of the establishment this is the kind preferential treatment you expect & get...

[ucrdem]

12. Take a deep breath. Breathe in . . .

. . .

[itsrobert]

13. i heard people campaigning for Bernie

Why weren't they arrested?

[Dragonfli]

21. They were much farther away, had not used bullhorns and when they were told they were

too close even tho they thought they were legally far enough away, they left, you know, like law abiding citizens, unlike those that believe themselves above the law.

[oldandhappy]

18. unethical

[senz]

19. They scoff at the law.

Cheating is a way of life for some.

[Downwinder]

25. Of course he is. It is called affluenza,

[Avalux]

30. Let's see...former prez....9 figure income....yes, yes he is. n/t

[ChiciB1]

33. I'e LOST All Respect For Them... BUT Mostly I NOW Really

believe they will do ANYTHING to win! I wonder what's already been done?? I would say this IF any candidate did this and to NOT see it for what it is, can only mean you agree with this type of campaigning!

I've NEVER seen such blatant disregard by anyone who is as well known as THIS EX-President in my entire life! He knows FULL WELL what he's doing

Already saw the FB video is gone! What does THAT SAY???

[Dragonfli]

34. It exposes character and honesty, not only regarding Bill, but also regarding all who allow it to

go unchallenged. That includes Hilary's character and honesty if she does not tell him to "cut it out". I agree with you on all points. They will do anything it appears.

I do have some good news for you! The video in this OP is still functional! I had to change it from the first one out there but we still have it. This proves that those that can copy and re-post YouTube videos on different accounts need to involve themselves in a mass effort regarding copying anything with the potential to be "disappeared".

Perhaps even forming an underground youtube chain of cells in the populist revolution and having a line of communication one with another to repost and spread the word of the new addresses as needed, it is sad to think we have to worry about truthful videos being "disappeared" as if we lived in some third world dictatorship and need to have defenses ready against such things but...

....there you have it, a problem of Character and Honesty in high places, censorship, and all that goes with the things I just mentioned.

I believe we essentially live in what I call a second world country, by many metrics to include corruption, An Oligarchy that is represented at all costs, a party that is at present at John Birch Society levels and fast approaching compete fascism status, another party that only caters to money but allows some limited social liberty, an exponential growth in poverty, an ever increasing loss of a middle class, a gap between rich and poor that is even worse than in the gilded age and Most of all NO PARTY AT ALL THAT REPRESENTS LABOR AND THE POOR.

We need a revolution, Bernie offers a bloodless one that could even work if people become as involved in the revolution as it should.

If that fails, Goddess help us, when the poor become angry enough, and the middle class that is becoming extinct are finally out of credit and equity and have no place left but to join the poor, the historically consistent thing will happen that has happened every single time Capitalism or Aristocracy is left completely unchecked to reach it's final excesses and final potential - A Real revolution that involves blood and loss and quite often a replacement government no better than the one overthrown.

[ChiciB1]

35. Yes, This WILL Happen! I Read The Rise & Fall Of The Roman Empire

a long time ago, forgotten a lot... but we ARE at the precipice and I KNOW in my gut that SOMETHING IS GOING TO HAPPEN!

I've been telling people this for quite some time. And I, like you thought Bernie could wake people up enough to start us down a path to heal so many wrongs. But after what I've seen these past few months I really feel the fix is in.

I will still fight for Bernie because he's taken on more than one person should have been made to do, but TPTB want him gone. Still they HAVE BEEN EXPOSED and he's done more for The Democratic Party than our current leaders dared to do so far!

BTW, I did post the video to my FB page with some very pointed comments! Thanks a lot! Funny how the other one went "POOF!"

Yes, the people will either continue to pay OR THEY WILL REVOLT!

Your words are more profound than mine, but I agree.

Really tired, thanks again!

36. MA Secretary of State came out and said no violations occurred.

[Dragonfli]

37. If DWS is any indication of the "fairness" of the party machine, label me unimpressed.

Had a Bernie supporter gone there in front of the building with a bullhorn and campaigned, said individual would NOT have had the same proclamation made by the state SOS, instead such an individual would have spent the night in a local jail and faced a large fine imposed by a judge the next morning.

This is reminiscent of the SOS of Ohio in 2000, Ken Blackwell who made similar proclamations regarding HIS chosen candidate.

[Holly_Hobby]

38. That depends on what the meaning of "is" is n/t

[jillan]

40. LOl - we posted the same exact thing at the same exact time - Jinx!

[Holly_Hobby]

41. Tee Hee, I couldn't resist either n/t

[Dragonfli]

42. The very rare jinx of truth! You both have a point and the jinx nails it!

The famed jinx of truth

[jillan]

39. It depends what your definition of is is.

Have a good day today!
