After adamantly claiming that she would not go after Obama's pledged delegates (those are the ones assigned by the elections in these primaries), Hillary Clinton has now reversed her position. She just told Newsweek that she will in fact try to get the pledges delegates that Obama won in the elections to change their votes and defy the voters of their states. All in order to crown Hillary Clinton the winner of the primary even if she loses the primary.
That's lower than low. That's not just dirty, that's Republican. A move straight out of the Karl Rove handbook.
It's also outright robbery. If she tries to steal this election by circumventing the will of the Democratic primary voters, I'll go to the Democratic convention with a pitchfork. And I'll bring an army with me. This cannot and will not stand.
In the video below we give the exact quotes from Senator Clinton that indisputably shows her hypocrisy on this:
Hillary Clinton, we have a message for you if you think you can take this election with these kind of dirty tricks -- no, you can't!

1. How can you even pull the Republicans into this argument? Karl Rove handbook? Of what? Turning out his base to WIN?
You idiots will knife each other to death before November, thank God. Two disasters to be averted. It is so much fun to watch how badly Dems screw up their own elections and can't even come to a decision on how to have a re-do in Florida and Michigan because you are too cheap to finance it. Just get scumball Soros to do it. It will be just one more chit he can hold over your nominees head come election time.

2. Look here people, Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter, and the rest of the right wing goons are all praying that Hillary wins. Doesn't that give you Hillary supporters pause? Well, I'll tell you something that should, Hillary has already lost the race. Why is Dean and all the rest allowing this contest to go on? Something doesn't smell right, there's something besides Hillary's delegate count that doesn't add up. Could it be an establishment coup? I'll tell you one thing, I'll be in Denver looking to join the pitch fork army.

4. The Democrat Primary is about to sink further into the slime. Neither Obama nor Hillary can get enough Delegates from the States that have not voted yet. Right about now, they are running 50/50 on the remaining delegates to be selected. That leaves getting Delegates to change their voter chosen vote or to do something about Michigan and Florida. The Primary between Obama and Hillary has sunk deep into the slime pit of name calling and dirty tricks. Then Cenk has the nerve to put the blame on the Republicans, saying dirty tricks are out of Rove's handbook. The Democrats, and the champions at slime-the Clintons, like to point the finger at the Republicans, to take away the attention they are getting.
This reminds me of how the Democrats tried to get Reagan out of office over the Iran-Condra arms dealings. Yet, the Democrats were alreay involved in their own secret illegal arms deal. On July 3, 1979, President J.Carter signed a Top Secret resolution authorizing the CIA tosupply the Afgan Majuhadeen with arms to fight the Soviets puppet govt. in Afgan. This was 6 months before the Soviets invaded Afgan on 12/24/79.It wasthe intention to have the Soviets military go into Afgan to prop up the government they supported. Sort of creating a Soviet Vietnam in Afgan, which it did. But over 1 million also died in the 10 years of Afgan fighting.
So putting the blame on Reagan covered up Carters illegal and even more costly arms deal with Afgan Mujahadeen.
The remaining primaries will see the fighting between Obama and Hillary get even dirtier, while the Republicans sit on the side and watch the Democrats rip one another apart, thenblame the Republicans.

7. Look at the bigger picture? Democrats are divided in a bad way because we are not dealing with logic, we are dealing with pure emotion. It's like the battle in Conneticutt with Lamont and Lieberman. It was tough to reject Joe, but the Party position is against endless war. After the rejection, Joe looked at his position selfishly...just like Bill and Hillary will. If Hillary is rejected she can take her illogical feminist radicals, combine them with a few moderates from the right, appeal to the growing group of independents, and promise protection to the Hispanic population to gain enough support to pull a "Lieberman." Democrats are wrestling with a false option. The Party pushed Edwards out to give us "Choose a flawed Clinton or take an unknown Black man." If we take the Black man, then Hillary and Bill's ego would be bruised and they would have every right to leave. If we take Clinton, then Bush III vs. Clinton III is a race we could lose. Obama inhaled and he's risky on national security. Obama needs to partner with Al Gore. The best thing Hillary can do for Democrats is to pledge her delegates to Al. If the Party picks Gore over Obama, then Hillary could be his VP or punch her ticket to the Supreme Court. If Obama loses or refuses to accept the VP, he sets back race relations for years. Don't think Republicans won't be playing the race card from now until the election. What's the "N-word" in Spanish?

8. A Pitchfork? Yikes. Is he serious? Maybe. And I knew Cenk couldn't get through the blog without blaming Democrat unrest and infighting on Karl Rove, that convenient bogeyman. Get ready for utter chaos and possible riots among the "peace and love" crowd at the convention.
And Democrats have chuckled as Repubs have openly debated about McCain's conservatism. Well, don't look now, but the Dems are about ready to nuke any remaining vestiges of civility, decency and reason within their party and make the discussion on McCain look like a Cub Scout den meeting.
