I really can’t stand this woman and the flat out lies disgust me at this point. I was listening to Hillieary this morning on NPR and I was yelling at the radio. My 14 y/o daughter was getting a lesson in how to listen to a politician not answer a question. If you have the stomach feel free to listen to her speak for 7 minutes.
take this reply:
Hillary Clinton says the results of Michigan’s Democratic presidential primary should count, even if Barack Obama’s name did not appear on the ballot.“That was his choice,” she says in an interview with Steve Inskeep. “There was no rule or requirement that he take his name off the ballot. His supporters ran a very aggressive campaign to try to get people to vote uncommitted.”
WHAT!? ARE you freaking kidding? Yes, Hillary, it was his choice to follow the rules and not campaign there at all and not put his name on the ballots. Seriously man, how do people support this? GRRRRRRRR
UPDATE: Von Cracker adds some nice info too from Daily Kos…
Senator Clinton caught lying – admits to breaking her pledge on Michigan

This morning, on NPR, Senator Clinton admitted to breaking her pledge to the DNC. She stated:
“… we all had a choice as to whether or not to participate in what was going to be a primary. And most people took their names off the ballot, but I didn’t. And I think that was a wise decision because Michigan is key to our electoral victory in the fall.
This is a direct and unequivocable violation of her pledge to the DNC and Democratic voters. She signed a pledge not to campaign OR PARTICIPATE. Here’s the relevant section of the pledge (pdf):
THEREFORE, I (Hillary Clinton), Democratic Candidate for President, in honor and in accordance with DNC rules, pledge to actively campaign in the pre-approved early states Iowa, Nevada, New Hampshire and South Carolina. I pledge I shall not campaign or participate in any election contest occurring in any state not already authorized by the DNC to take place in the DNC approved pre-window (any date prior to February 5, 2008).
By her own admission, she has broken her pledge.
