Hillary stop lying to me, I CAN COUNT
I am on Hillary's mail list, so I was looking over some of her emails from her website
This one says she gotten "Nearly 18 Million Votes" and "Won the most votes"

The Last Two Races
by Lindsay Levin6/2/2008 11:14:50 AMHillary just sent out the following message:


Dear Friend,

Tomorrow is the very last day Americans will have the chance to vote in this hard-fought and historic race for the Democratic nomination. Every vote we receive in South Dakota and Montana will help us add to our popular vote total. Every vote helps us make our case that I am our party's strongest candidate in November.

Nearly 18 million people have stood with us -- the most votes cast for a candidate in the history of presidential primaries in either party. We've defied the skeptics and answered an important question: Which candidate best represents the will of the people?

Now, one day before the final two contests, I am calling on you to dig deep and help us win every last vote we can win in South Dakota and Montana. We are in the middle of an all-out push to get out the vote, and every dollar you give right now will help us get voters to the polls and win the nomination.

Contribute today to help us get out the vote in South Dakota and Montana.

Together, you and I have celebrated a string of incredible victories. We've made history by giving every American a chance to have a say in this race.

We've won the key swing states that will decide the race in November -- and yes, that includes Florida and Michigan. Most important, we've won the most votes. There is no more powerful way to prove that I am our best chance to win in November.

That's why I am asking you to stand with me today. And I promise you, as I always have, that if you stand up for me now, I will stand up for you every day in the White House.

Contribute today and help me win the nomination.

I am so proud of the journey you and I have taken together, and of everything we have accomplished along the way. Tomorrow night, we'll count the final votes. Today, let's keep fighting.

Thank you,



Hillary Rodham Clinton


Also, I got an email quoting Harold Icky's comments at the R&B meeting complaining about the decision of Michigan, but in the letter above and during her speech in PR, she claims MI as a victory.
My question if she is claiming it as a victory why is she sending out propaganda that gives the impression she is against the decision? Which is it Hillary?

Tbis is the email

Dear ,

Hillary has consistently stood up for the voters of Michigan and Florida.That's a lie Lanny Davis admitted on MTP that they only fought for MI and FL after she started losing...Hillary herself said the contest would be over by FEB 5th...she said that when she was stil ok with MI and FL not counting She, like you, has insisted that the voice of all Americans be heard. Today, the DNC's Rules and Bylaws Committee announced their decision on seating Florida and Michigan's delegations. In recent days, almost 350,000 of Hillary's supporters wrote in to the committee to make clear what an important principle it is for our party to count every vote.

Our campaign has released an official statement about the results of the Rules and Bylaws Committee meeting and I'd like to share it with you, our most dedicated supporters.

I know how passionate you are about the importance of counting every vote cast in Florida and Michigan and I appreciate everything you are doing.

Sincerely,

Maggie Williams
Campaign Manager
Hillary Clinton for President


This the quote the link in the email takes me too
Harold Ickes and Tina Flournoy made the following statement:

Today’s results are a victory for the people of Florida who will have a voice in selecting our Party’s nominee and will see its delegates seated at our party’s convention. The decision by the Rules and Bylaws Committee honors the votes that were cast by the people of Florida and allocates the delegates accordingly.

We strongly object to the Committee’s decision to undercut its own rules in seating Michigan’s delegates without reflecting the votes of the people of Michigan.

The Committee awarded to Senator Obama not only the delegates won by Uncommitted, but four of the delegates won by Senator Clinton. This decision violates the bedrock principles of our democracy and our Party.
We reserve the right to challenge this decision before the Credentials Committee and appeal for a fair allocation of Michigan’s delegates that actually reflect the votes as they were cast.


So which is it Hillary? Either you are happy about the decision with MI
or you just want to pretend you are'nt to fan the flames, either way, once again it makes you appear to be a horrible person with no soul, and you only care about yourself.

1. Maybe she's using her voters as leverage for something else she wants
"I'll tell them to back you as soon as you do 'XYZ' for me." I don't know but if this is just "normal" politics it surely does suck. x(

4. Duh!
Hillary holds a lot of suggestive power with many of her supporters, we have all heard several of them on youTUBE and the news and on DU repeat verbatim her talkingpoints, but do so in a way that not only say it they clearly believe it.

It's disturbing watching these people repeat these lies as truth, then she says I will work hard for the nominee, but so far her action say only if she is the nominee.

Why did she post Harold Icky's comment from R&B on HER website, IF she is satisfied enough with the out come to claim MI and FL as a win for her?

So on one hand she is giving the impression it's ok, but on the other, she is signifing it's not OK.

9 times out of 10, her supporters will lean to the negative side of the Arugument, and hold up Harold Icky's comments as a reason to stay angry about the decision.

3. It should read,
"Every dollar you send will be used to pay off my massive campaign debt".

p.s.
Throw in a couple of extra bucks for Mark Penn. He eats cash out of a hog trough.

7. Sadly, Hillary is lying to you.
She is exploiting the emotions of her supporters, manipulating them into believing that she is winning when she is not. Her objective is to create discord among the Democrats by turning this into another Election 2000 fiasco, which it is not.

Hillary needs to stop. Thank you for having an open mind on this and not being afraid to recognize the truth. ;)
