Re: Shameful tactics...
Shame on you Hillary!
http://www.swamppolitics.com/news/polit … obama.html
A lawyer in a predominantly Democratic suburb of Cleveland relates this tale to The Swamp on the day before the all-important Ohio primary:
So last night around dinner time, the phone rings. It's the Hillary campaign-official number, per the caller ID. The woman on the other end asks me if Hillary can count on my support Tuesday. I say I have not decided.
She asks what would help me decide. I say, 'Well . . . maybe she can make Bill her vice president.' She does not know how to take me, of course, but has to assume I am serious. 'I don't think she can do that.' 'Bill will have a significant role in major decisions, though, won't he?' I ask. 'Oh, certainly he will be very involved. Do you like Bill?' 'Very much.' I reply.
She then launches into a two-minute spiel on all the very specific initiatives and proposals Hillary has put forth on health care, the war in Iraq, etc., etc. At the end of her spiel, she says, 'And we haven't heard anything that specific from Osama bin Laden.'
I say, 'You did not just say that.' She replies, 'I'm sorry . . . just a slip of the tongue.' She then thanks me for my time and encourages me to vote for Hillary on Tuesday.
The lawyer says he was "stunned" and tells The Swamp the call originated from the Clinton campaign in Columbus. Are the dirty tricks ramping up as we get down to the wire? Swamp readers in Ohio and Texas, relate your own encounters with the Clinton or Obama campaigns if you've had them.
Re: Shameful tactics...
She makes me physically ill. As I mentioned in a different thread awhile back, Hillary is reminding the country of what they disliked during the Clinton era, and she is taking the bullshit even further than Bill ever thought of doing.
I hope she gets her ass kicked tonight.
Re: Shameful tactics...
I doubt that Hillary has people saying this about Obama in their phone calls. Years ago, when a friend of mine was running for office, my husband and I made phone calls to folks to persuade them to vote for him. We did stick to what he stood for, how he planned to run things, the changes he was going to make if he got in. However, there was one person who did make phone calls for our friend that went a bit over board, and he got some complaints about that person- I guess he was very degrading about the others running against my friend and said some not savory things about them that he shouldn't have.
Yes, this person went overboard, over the line, in my opinion, but it isn't right to judge the candidate over the supporter's rude comment.
