Hillary Push-Polling in North Carolina
Check out the following article. Is there no level that Hillary will sink to:

http://www.thepersonalispolitical.com/2008/04/hillary-resorts-to-yet-another.html

For those who aren't aware, push-polling is one of the most biased and misleading things candidates can do to voters. They essentially call you up to ask you if you would like to participate in a poll. Many people say yes because they are curious. Then you're asked stupid questions that go on and on about one candidate's positives and another's negatives. This one guy in NC tape recorded part of the call from a company ran by Hillary's campaign strategist, Geoff Garin.

9. It seems as though Rove GAVE them a lot of valuable information
after Billbo teamed up with him:puke:

Her campaign has sunk along with their kitchen sink strategy.

10. Super delegates need to ask themselves if this is the direction they wish to endorse OR is it
the candidate who focuseds on the issues and is bringing so many new young people into the political process.

12. Of course she is. She's a Republican now.

13. I've only received the Obama call so far here in NC (several times actually)
and his message simply reminds you that NC has early voting and encourages you to get out and vote no matter who you support.

15. How do you know it isn't the Rethugs?
Now that Scaife and all the other conservative shitstains are backing her, it sounds like something right up their alley.

18. I really don't like them fucking with our election
If Clinton is behind it, she's a true jackass for not realizing this would screw her in the general if she were the nominee.

19. nor do I, I'm just saying it doesn't really matter anymore the source since
both clinton and the GOP are trying to destroy Obama, and possibly in collusion with each other.

21. How do we know it isn't the Rethugs?
Because the call came from the Geoff Garin's polling firm. He is Hillary Clinton's campaign strategist. I always wondered why her campaign managers were professional poll people (Mark Penn AND Geoff Garin). Now we see why.

17. WWBD? That's what Hillary will do.
What
Would
Bush
Do?

She's adopted his methods and style. LYING is the central theme of her campaign. Playing victim and sowing trash about the opponent is part of that scheme.

WWBD? That's what Hillary will do.

22. I'm starting to think the Bushs and Clintons are closely related.
Babs Bush said Bubba was like her son and now I'm wondering.
