Stop playing the victim game Hillary
Edited on Fri Mar-07-08 03:03 PM by blocker
What really bugs me is that she's allowed to insult, minimize her opponent, but when an Obama advisor says something off the record, well then it's Obama the dirty politician, enough of this s..t, if you want to be president stop playing games you \little baby, just look in the debates she was so nice to Obama, yet, when the spotlight is away, she blasts him, also why is it ok for her campaign to compare Obama to ken Starr "a real monster to our democratic party". Also what about the canadian nafta thing not being reported!

I'm so fed up of this garbage!

1. JUST IN: Clinton: "He's attacked me continuously"
WHhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!

Clinton: "He's attacked me continuously"

Clinton, in Mississippi, piled on the Samantha Power's comments:

This is the latest example of promising the American people one thing on the campaign trail and telling people in other countries another,” she said. “You saw this with Nafta as well.

“He’s attacked me continuously for having no hard exit date, and now we learn he doesn’t have one. In fact, he doesn’t have a plan at all, according to his top foreign policy adviser. He keeps telling people one thing, while his campaign tells people abroad something else. I’m not sure what the american people should believe," she said.

In fact, Clinton and Obama are more or less in the same position in terms of loudly promising withdrawal, but acknowledging, when pressed, that facts on the ground could delay it. Power's "best case scenario" line, though, seemed to go a bit beyond that.

2. It's called "disingenuousness"
It's also called "cynicism."

3. Right out of the republican playbook.
Slime your opponent and cry foul when the opponent makes valid counterattacks.

8. Imagine this going on until 2012...no thanks
Every president pisses some people off, both at home and abroad. You can't please all the people all of the time, and when you're President of the most powerful country in the world, some people will make a whole career out of being pissed off with you just because they can.

Imagine one of our international antagonists - Iran, or North Korea, say - engaged in a diplomatic tussle with the US, as happens fairly frequently. Rather than saying she's horrible or evil, they will issue some statement making fun of her, unworried by whether our media considers it tasteless or sexist. She's shown clearly that it's an easy way to get a rise out of her.

9. I don't think people will buy it.
She got the pity because she was being beaten. She's still losing, albeit by a smaller margin, but the MSM is saying "CLINTON HAS REGAINED HER MOMENTUM" for the last 24 hours. Now that Clinton is perceived to be back, she can't expect the victim card to work anymore.
