Hillary Clinton Uses Women Voters as a Shield to Deflect Criticism

Hillary Clinton is allowed to say the most awful things about Barack Obama, but any time Hillary Clinton gets in trouble, she uses women voters as her defense shield. Obama better not strike back, he better not criticize her in any way, shape or form because otherwise Hillary Clinton will take her women voters and go home.

Obama is stuck in a position where he has to keep absorbing these hits but can't hit back for fear of alienating Clinton's voters. She keeps using this to batter him. She even used this strategy to defend her horrific comments about RFK's assassination. How? We explain in the video below:




Here is actual the paragraph from the Hillary editorial I am quoting above:

I am running for all those women in their 90s who've told me they were born before women could vote, and they want to live to see a woman in the White House. For all the women who are energized for the first time, and voting for the first time. For the little girls - and little boys - whose parents lift them onto their shoulders at our rallies, and whisper in their ears, "See, you can be anything you want to be." As the first female candidate in this position, I believe I have a responsibility to finish this race.

I am running for all the men and women I meet who wake up every day and work hard to make a difference for their families. People who deserve a shot at the American Dream - the chance to save for college, a home and retirement; to afford quality health care for their families; to fill the gas tank and buy the groceries with a little left over each month.


I'm sick of her tactics, her excuses, her lies and her disingenuous reasons for continuing to stay in the race. It has absolutely nothing to do with these voters. It has to do with the fact that she cannot believe she won't get to be president -- what she had always assumed to be her right. She suffered through all of Bill's dalliances just so she could get into this position. She was the anointed one. It was supposed to be her. She cannot and she will not let it go. And it has now become sad and embarrassing.

John McCain's Un-American, Criminal, Thug Supporter

The title of this post might seem like an exaggeration. How could Saint John McCain have a friend and supporter who is a criminal, a thug and far more un-American than Reverend Wright? This man we're talking about even worked actively to undermine the American system of government -- and was convicted for it. And John McCain calls him a dear friend. You don't believe it, watch and hear the quotes for yourself:




Here is the story that has all this information and the links that link to the original stories. Now, I know a lot of people will think, "This doesn't count." But think about that. Why don't you think it counts?

There are three reasons: 1. You already know this guy so you feel like it's old news. But that doesn't make his actions or his words any less despicable. 2. He is white. Admit it; it sounds a lot more dangerous to you if it's a black radical calling for people to shoot the heads off of federal agents 3. He's a Republican, so we know they don't play fair and he was just trying to give his party an advantage. Now imagine how you and the media would react if you heard Obama's staff broke into McCain's headquarters (or Hillary's) in the middle of the night and stole his most important campaign information. And Obama later said the people who did that are his dear friends and he is proud to be associated with them.

Look, you know the answers to these questions. You know that it would be different if it was a black Obama supporter who had done any of these things. I don't think everything is about racism, not by a long shot; but aren't some things? And if that's not the right explanation here (and it might not be), what is the reason behind this incredible double standard that is applied to Obama and McCain backers?

McCain and Obama Go to War

McCain and Obama clashed on Iraq today. And Obama whooped him bad. Check out the dueling quotes here:




Obama can do this all day long during the general election campaign. Hillary can't, because she voted with John McCain to drive us into the ditch in Iraq as Obama said the other night in the debate. This alone is an overwhelming reason to vote for Obama in the primaries. And it will also be an overwhelming reason to vote for Obama over McCain in November.
