Thank you, Senator Clinton, for the validation.
Back in the day, when you were first starting out, I felt that you were not interested in standing up for me, that you weren't interested in working to earn my vote when you could claim it as an entitlement. That is why I did not support you. Now you've demonstrated that my feelings were correct:

TAt a small closed-door fundraiser after Super Tuesday, Sen. Hillary Clinton blamed what she called the "activist base" of the Democratic Party -- and MoveOn.org in particular -- for many of her electoral defeats, saying activists had "flooded" state caucuses and "intimidated" her supporters, according to an audio recording of the event obtained by The Huffington Post.

"Moveon.org endorsed -- which is like a gusher of money that never seems to slow down," Clinton said to a meeting of donors. "We have been less successful in caucuses because it brings out the activist base of the Democratic Party. MoveOn didn't even want us to go into Afghanistan. I mean, that's what we're dealing with. And you know they turn out in great numbers. And they are very driven by their view of our positions, and it's primarily national security and foreign policy that drives them. I don't agree with them. They know I don't agree with them. So they flood into these caucuses and dominate them and really intimidate people who actually show up to support me."

Thanks for the validation, Senator.

4. She can't keep from telling a lie!!
"MoveOn didn't even want us to go into Afghanistan."

How can she think she won't get caught??
She needs serious help!
