With Obama taking a lot of heat for calling some voters "bitter" at losing their jobs, causing them to go towards guns and religion, Hillary has seen an opportunity for attack. She has spent the last few days positioning herself as a God-fearing, gun-loving candidate who will defend the people against an elitist, snobby Obama.
Unfortunately, I came across a couple of things over the past few days which really capture the irony of the Clinton campaign.
First is a quote (courtesy of Political Wire) from Bill Clinton's bestselling autobiography, My Life:
The next is a video from one of Bill's 2004 speeches. Does this remind you of anything?
Bill, one of the greatest politicians in the nation, has been turned into a political liability for his wife. She has been sending him out of the country to dependencies such as Puerto Rico to court delegates, as he is too politically radioactive in the continental 48 states.
Frankly, I'm tired of Hillary's negativity and whining. Obama has run a clean and fair campaign, while she is taking every opportunity to undermine his chances, regardless of whether or not it will hurt him in November. At this point, the people have spoken: Barack Obama is the one to lead the country forward. He, like her, makes an occasional mistake. But at this point, she's trying to subvert the process, and that's not a sportsmanlike way to act.
Let's just get this primary over so we can focus on beating the Republicans in November. All McCain offers is four more years of the same.
Those of us who support Hillary would be well-advised to at least take a step back and watch how she is crippling our candidate.
Think.
Yes, you can.

"If [Republicans] could cut funding for Medicare, Medicaid, education, and the environment, middle-class Americans would see fewer benefits from their tax dollars, feel more resentful paying taxes, and become even more receptive to their appeals for tax cuts and their strategy of waging campaigns on divisive social and cultural issues like abortion, gay rights, and guns."-- Bill Clinton, in his 2004 memoirs making the same argument as Sen. Barack Obama.

Great Point!!
Obama all the way
this is a great blog and i really appreciate your efforts to show politics to the young peoples
Bill is probably the worst president the nation has ever had, followed by Jimmy Carter.
It seems that people have forgotten that Bill Clinton bombed Yugoslavia as prez to create a fake war to keep Monica Lewinsky. He targeted primarily citizen areas including housing districs and schools.
Didnt finish sentence from above:
"To keep Monica Lewinsky off the front page."
And Iraq, a war based on imaginary WMDs, is not a "fake war"?
Come on. Clinton fooled around with a secretary. Bush launched an invasion which cost tens of thousands of lives, drove the economy off a cliff and dismantled the constitution. Which is worse?
Bill Clinton did a lot of good for this country, as did Jimmy Carter. They both had flaws which I will not deny, but you can't select the facts like this.
"imaginary WMD'S?" Thats probably the most overused phrase of the
21st century thus far. We found WMD's, (you probably read the story of two soldiers who were injured from the radiation). However, those were the Unmixed componets of a bomb; if they were allowed to finish that bomb, they would have killed as many people that were killed on 9/11 (estimation 3500).
Oh and i forgot the Bill Clinton Legacy:
* Lied to Americans about the Monica Lewinsky situation
* Lied under oath in Paula Jones versus Clinton
* Shredded documents
* Whitewater documents disappeared, then reappeared
* Improperly claimed privleges
* Demonized, smeared, and eliminated and killed witnesses
* Took illegal campaign contributions
* Had credible accusations of rape brought against him
Also, 33 people were said to have committed suicide or murdered. All 33 of them pertained to bill's drug dealing as governor of Arkansas, Whitewater, or the Monica Lewinsky situation.
And Carter, dont get me started on Carter, the man who laid a wreath at the most notorious terrorist of the 20th century, yaser arafat.
:P
Oh and Go Clinton in pennsylvania! This is getting too funny! Hahah
John McCain 2008
(if you want to e-mail me you can reach me at jasterjasterjasterjaster@yahoo.com)
The fact of the matter: Saddam Hussein was, in fact, not seeking "significant quantities of yellowcake from Niger".
"Credible accusations"? Such as?
Both Carter and Arafat won Nobel Peace Prizes. The latter was a horrible man, undoubtedly, but Carter understands that diplomacy involves paying respect.
You're right. The Democratic race is becoming a joke. The sooner Clinton drops out, the better off Obama will be.
Give me proof of the 33 people who died from Bill's drug dealing. His brother got in trouble with drugs. Which witnesses were killed?
Don't start talking about illegal campaign contributions. McCain was in the Keating Five, remember?
Don't get me started about McCain:
-Against torture, but for waterboarding, universally considered torture
-Voted against SCHIP
-Against MLK Day
-Doesn't know a thing about the economy (admittedly so)
-One sixth of members of his top echelon of contributors and many of his advisors are lobbyists.
Talk about improperly claiming priveliges! Your President, Bush, is the champion of the Patriot Act, Guantanamo Bay, secret prisons, undermining of several amendments.
CLINTON' VICTIMS:
1) James McDougal: Convicted Whitewater Partner. Preparing to give a testimony against Clinton...
2) Mary Caitrin Mahooney: White House intern during Clinton. Was gunned down with two co-workers at starbucks.
3) Vince Foster: Worked with Hillary at Rose Law firm
4) Ron Brown: Former DNC chairmen. Said he would cut deal with the prosecutors
5)C. Victor Raiser II and Montgomery Raiser: "major players" in Clinton fundraising.
6) Paul Tulley: DNC political director
7) Ed Willey: Heavy Clinton fundraiser (died same day his wife Kathleen Willey claimed Bill Clinton groped her in the oval office...)
8) Jerry "Luther" Parks: Former head of security for the Clinton-Gore headquarters. Park's son said he was compiling files on Clinton's groping and fondling of interns and was planning to reveal it. The files mysteriously disappeared in a burglary before his murder...
9) James Bunch: had a "little black book" with names of influential politicians who were involved with prostitutes from Texas and Arkansas.
10) James Wilson: Politician in D.C. who had ties with Whitewater
Need more? Just message me back...
And the Patriot Act? I have no problem with it. I think the only people who are against it are people who have something to hide... And please elaborate on the amendments that Bush has broken.
