Clintons uninterested in securing Dem votes from 2000-2007 when BushInc was stealing them
Edited on Tue Apr-01-08 10:25 AM by blm
now they want to make a HUGE ISSUE out of it against the Democratic primary process, wanting the public to believe that Obama campaign doesn't want votes counted?

Ever see Clintons take such an interest in getting votes counted when securing the election process mattered to the general election count as much as they want to see Dem primary votes counted when they KNOW darn well that they can't win?

Why? Telling audiences that Obama DOESN'T WANT THEM TO VOTE?

Did they ever tell people that Bush and Rove didn't want them to vote or try to do anything about countering the election fraud by BushInc when Clintons were the recognized leaders of our party from 1993-2005?


The Associated Press
Clinton says Obama wants to stop votes

By Beth Fouhy, Associated Press Writer | April 1, 2008

HARRISBURG, Pa. --Democratic Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton accused rival Sen. Barack Obama and his allies of trying to stop people from voting as some of his backers have called on her to drop out of the presidential race.

The Obama campaign rejected the charge, dismissing Clinton's criticism as "completely laughable."

In a series of television interviews in states holding upcoming contests, Clinton vowed to press on with her campaign and suggested Obama and his supporters wanted to keep those states from playing a role in selecting the party's presidential nominee.

"My take on it is a lot of Senator Obama's supporters want to end this race because they don't want people to keep voting," she told CBS affiliate KTVQ in Billings, Mont. "That's just the opposite of what I believe. We want people to vote. I want the people of Montana to vote, don't you?"

Montana holds its primary June 3. The New York senator made similar comments in interviews with stations in Indiana and North Carolina, which hold primaries May 6.

4. Was Obama LEADING our party when BushInc was stealing our votes?
Clintons and their loyalists were at the same time BushInc and the RNC were working every day to gain control of every level of the election process where the votes were allowed, cast and counted.

What did the Clinton loyalists at the DNC do to counter them the entire time?

2. I am soooo with you on this...
...Hillary was my last choice for lots of reasons - mostly bush/clinton/bush/clinton - just wrong in my opinion, but I'll vote for her if she is the nominee.

When the primarys started breaking for Obama and the Clintons went nuts I realized they were only in it for themselves and were GLAD Gore lost and Kerry lost and they didn't care how. Now they use voting rights because it works for them - where were they 8 years ago?

Thanks, I feel better now.

6. I can see Clintons being fully aware of the GOPs moves to control the election
process in key states across the country before 2000.

They did have SOME part of the FBI and FEC as well as the DNC working for them. The GOPs didn't control everything yet.

5. Of course she is lying about this - but look at the fight she puts up against another Dem when
Clinton's leadership of the Dem party since 1993 had nothing to say when BushInc was working for years to gain control of the election process in key states so that Dem votes could be stolen, left uncast or uncounted.
