Clinton: GOP banking on 'yesterday's America' showing up Election Day
By Sean J. Miller - 10/21/10 06:39 PM ET


BALTIMORE – Former President Bill Clinton singled out Karl Rove and the "secret committees" for causing a "crazy food fight" that’s confusing voters during a rally for Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley (D).

"They're banking on you not thinking," the former president said at the event on Federal Hill. "They're banking on some people being so mad that facts don’t matter."

The Republicans' "only hope," Clinton said, "is that on Election Day in 12 days, tomorrow's America, the America that showed up in 2008, will stay home. And yesterday's America will show up and people will be so mad, it won’t be like sports, we won't be thinking, the facts won't have nothing to do with it."

"Show up, claim your future, keep your governor," said Clinton, whose voice was often hoarse. The Baltimore rally was his third campaign stop after starting his day with events in Florida for Democrat Alex Sink and in North Carolina for Rep. Heath Shuler (D-N.C.).

Clinton has emerged as a weapon for the Democratic Party as it tries to hold on to majorities in the House and Senate and prevent Republicans from winning gubernatorial contests across the country.

1. I sure taught al gore a lesson in 2000 by not voting....

2. The Clintons who destroyed our last best chance at MEDICARE FOR ALL? .....

Had Obama not made deals with the health care industry to keep "public option"

off the table, we would all be celebrating Democrats and a Democratic victory this

coming Election Day!!

Thanks, Bill, as well for ending 60 years of Welfare Guarantees -- for trade agreements

and DADT ... !!!

HOWEVER ....

Everyone should keep pushing to the left -- keep voting against Repugs and votes for

Democrats is the way to do that --

We are fighting the elite/corporate control of government and we need to knock out the

worst of it first.

We can then double back and deal with our corporate-Dems.
