Hillary Clinton may take delegate fight to convention

May 21, 2008

By Brendan Farrington

Hillary Rodham Clinton says she is willing to take her fight to seat Florida and Michigan delegates to the convention if the two states want to go that far. In an interview with The Associated Press, Clinton was asked whether she would support the states if they continue the fight.

The presidential candidate said Wednesday, "Yes I will. I will, because I feel very strongly about this."

Clinton is calling for delegates from both states to be seated at the convention based on the primaries. Both states were stripped of their delegates because they voted early, violating national party rules. Clinton won both states; Barack Obama's name wasn't on the Michigan ballot.

The DNC's rules committee will hear an appeal on May 31.

    Clinton Playbook Rule No. 2: “Many categories of responses, which are misleading, evasive, non-responsive or frustrating are nevertheless not legally false [including] legally truthful answers that imply facts that are not true.” Hence Hillary Clinton’s serpentine logic regarding Michigan & Florida – Clinton Rule No. 1: Perception trumps reality. Clinton Rule No. 3: Ignore: http://theseedsof9-11.com

    Tell Hillary to get in her covered wagon and take her snake oil out of town, this is one elderly white women she isn’t fooling. She owes every women in this country an apology for her pretense of a woman today in Florida. That was the worst sap spewing snake oil game I’ve heard in years. Give me the honest whore any day instead of her constant demeaning of women.

    When she comes to Michigan for the second sap spewing, I’ll introduce her to the Mayor of Detroit , Kwame Kilpatrick, and the white woman Governor Grandsomethingorother, they both have the same thing in common and I’m sure she’ll do for our Nation what they have done for Michigan.

    We didn’t end up on the bottom of the food chain without the totally inexperienced at the helm.

    For all those elderly women fools voting for her, for God sake read up on despots and connect the dots.

    When a female is as RUTHLESSLY MEAN as Hillary ROTTEN Clinton, I must question if she is indeed FEMALE! If we live on this planet, each of one of us have had to abide by RULES [otherwise known as LAWS]? Being a member of society means we all must abide by RULES (even when we HATE them or don’t want to! Rules are simply another word for ‘LAWS’ and they are NOT SUPPOSED to be DISREGARDED OR BROKEN otherwise people could be hurt, fined, jailed, etc. We are all living in a country governed by LAWS [RULES]. If we run a red light [and get caught by a cop], then we will be ticketed, pay a fine and maybe end up with a driving record ,and if not caught, we could possibly KILL another person or DESTROY property. If we DISOBEY any LAW [RULE] in this country, we will be PENALIZED in one way or another. The reason LAWS were designed by people were so that we could live in an ORDERLY FASHIONED WORLD, otherwise there would be complete CHAOS! Laws [rules] maintain order! So now that MI and FL have failed to obey the LAWS which governed their states (the officials of those states disobeyed the laws when they allowed those states to vote out of turn [earlier than they were scheduled] and now they are being penalized. But the clintons have decided that THEY DO NOT HAVE TO ABIDE BY LAWS - they are special and have NEVER had to abide ‘other’ peoples laws - so they want to change the LAWS of the DNC. If they succeed in doing so, they WILL BE PENALIZED. That is just the way things work. So what is that penality going to be? None of us know the answer to that question now, but we will by the end of this month. It simply would NOT be FAIR to seat those delegates as they would ordinarily have been seated, but the officials will figure something out which does NOT necessarily mean it will be ‘favorable’ to the clintons. That is just the way life in an orderly world works! So even though their names are CLINTON, it does NOT give them the freedom to reek CHAOS in an orderly world. They are not ABOVE the LAW and they will be PENALIZED. If not, then the world would simply have the SAME RIGHT to ignore all LAWS . CHAOS would become the norm since no one could ever again believe that they were also NOT ENTITLED to break the LAWS [just like the clintons did] and we could all change our names to CLINTON so that we too would be entitled to their same treatment under the LAW!

    To correct the lady above,

    She neeeds to get a life, the Clintons are liars of everything.
    Bill Clinton has the blood of 911 on his hands because while he was chasing skirts, benladen and company were planning 911.
    When the USS Cole was bombed, Clinton was still chasing skirts.
    When the trade center was bombed, Clinton was still chasing skirts and lie after lie that he did not have sex with that woman, what a jerk.
    Whitewater, the travel office, the white house theft, the renting bedrooms, the selling of pardons.
    Hillary as the rebranded product would have you believe, is a sick woman and will not be happy until she kills Obama’s chances so she can make us all vomit again in 4 years.
    A person who lies about everything cannot and will not run this country.
    Oh yes I forgot, she will break up Opec, yea right.
    The poor idiots who voted for her BS show that lack of college makes you a real moron when it comes to BS filters..

    what will change when Obama has lack of experience and old Clinton team? Get the original with Hillary and bring America to it’s splendor again.

    Obama is hope but Hillary is the HELP for Hope that Dr. King died for.

    If this was the NFC championship game, Hillary would argue that she should go to the Superbowl because she has more total yards than Obama. Never mind that she is behind 28-3 in the 4th quarter. What a Joke.
