We have been less successful...because it brings out the activist base of the Democratic Party
Edited on Sat Apr-19-08 04:41 PM by lynyrd_skynyrd
Hillary Clinton:

"We have been less successful in caucuses because it brings out the activist base of the Democratic Party..."

"We have been less successful in caucuses because it brings out the activist base of the Democratic Party..."

"We have been less successful in caucuses because it brings out the activist base of the Democratic Party..."

"We have been less successful in caucuses because it brings out the activist base of the Democratic Party..."

"We have been less successful in caucuses because it brings out the activist base of the Democratic Party..."

"We have been less successful in caucuses because it brings out the activist base of the Democratic Party..."

"We have been less successful in caucuses because it brings out the activist base of the Democratic Party..."


Repeating it might just be the only way for you Clinton loyalists to understand it. Even if MoveOn.org's membership was not part of the base, (it is, but never mind that), Hillary Clinton herself seems to think so, and she is against them. This is equivalent to the Republicans going against the evangelicals and the rich.

Hillary Clinton has declared herself to not be a liberal. It's something we liberals have known all along, but now there is proof. She even had the gall to use the phrase "that's what we're dealing with". Excuse me? I didn't know the Democrat was the one who had to "deal" with us! :eyes:

And she accused liberals of "flooding" the caucuses to "dominate" and "intimidate".

Give me a break.

It can't be repeated enough:


"Moveon.org endorsed Sen. Barack Obama -- 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."


Hillary Clinton, http://www.huffingtonpost.com/celeste-fremon/clinton-slams-democratic_b_97484.html">in her own words.

It's a good thing this is my last thread for the next 24 hours, because I'm so unbelievably disgusted right now that I might have kept on starting these threads. I honestly thought that my loathing of Hillary Clinton had hit the exosphere long ago.
