U.S. Representative Chet Edwards (D-Waco) today endorsed U.S. Senator Barack Obama (D-Ill) for President and released the following statement:

“As the father of two young sons, I care deeply about the future of our nation, and that is why I am endorsing Senator Barack Obama for President of the United States. I believe Senator Obama can bring about real change in Washington--change that will make a positive difference for average working Americans struggling to keep up with the high costs of health care, gasoline and education,” said Edwards, who represents the 17th Congressional District of Texas, which includes the home of President George W. Bush.

“Representative Edwards is a strong advocate for our men and women in uniform and I'm honored to have his support,” Obama said. “Keeping faith with those who serve must always be a core American value and a cornerstone of American patriotism. Whether Democrat, Republican, or independent, we can unite with common purpose around the commitment to our servicemen and women that begins at enlistment and must never end.”

“By voting for Senator Obama, we can say it is time to turn away from the divisive partisan politics of the past and work together for a brighter future for our children and our grandchildren. Now more than ever, we need a leader who can inspire us to do better, to be better.  Barack Obama is that leader,” said Edwards.

Edwards has earned bipartisan respect as a champion of veterans and military troops and their families.  In 2007, as Chairman of the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Military Construction and Veterans Affairs, he authored the largest increase in veterans’ funding in the 77-year history of the Veterans Administration, and on March 4th of this year, he will receive the Veterans of Foreign Wars highest award given annually to only one Member of Congress.

“As someone who has spent most of my adult life fighting for veterans and for military troops and their families, I am convinced that Senator Obama will be a champion for better health care, housing and quality of life for those who have sacrificed so much for the American family. He knows that standing up for our troops, our veterans and their families is the right thing to do—for them and for our nation’s security,” said Edwards, who chairs the House Army Caucus.            

“On behalf of my family and hard-working families all across Texas and America, it is a privilege for me to endorse Barack Obama for President.”

Congressman Chet Edwards’s district is the most Republican district in the nation represented by a Democratic Member of Congress according to political analyst Charlie Cook.  Edwards has earned national praise for his leadership on nuclear non-proliferation and religious liberty issues.  He is the third ranking Democrat on the House Budget Committee and has served in Congress since 1991.

(Hillary Clinton,We love You)

The other day I made fun of one of my buddies for something he said. Just a casual joke, but he flicked me off when most other days he would have laughed and stung me right back.

Guess what? Obviously, he wasn't on his period. He was in a bad mood.

Get off Obama's back -- If he had made a specific reference to gender in his "bad mood" comment, then burn him. But he didn't. Clintonites are just looking for an excuse, and it is VERY VERY SAD.

OMG!  I just read where Larry Sinclair has filed a lawsuit against Obama, Obama's campaign leader, the democratic party, and Dean.
OBama needs to answer these accusations of gay sex and drug use in 1999.
This man has also agreed to a lie detector test.

The general election voting date is set by the Constitution as the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November in order to ensure a fair and equal process. The primary schedule is set by the DNC to favor certain people in certain states and give the rest of us little or no say. It is a disgrace and anyone defending the system is only doing so for their own political reasons. The only reason any of the candidates went along with this in the first place was because they didn't want to hurt their chances in Iowa and New Hampshire. The only reason Obama continue to support this ridiculous and oppressive tyranny on the part of the DNC is because they know that reverseing course and doing the right thing would hurt their chances. Although he had no problem running TV adds all over the media a week before the primary in Florida which he was not suppose to and his supporters were making phone calls to ask voters to vote for him. It is clearly within the rules for the nominee to allow for these delegates to be seated later. Everyone assumed that would happen. Everyone's position on this is driven by their self interest. And to say the cnadidates agreed to this is misleading. They agreed to the DNC rules, that does not mean they agreed with the decision to strip delegates. And as has been widely reported in the media everyone knew that these delegates could have been seated later by the nominee so no one should be suprised when someone says just that. What is appalling is that candidates are not saying that and all the know the only reason anyone would support not counting votes in Florida ia because they might lose because of it. 2000 taught us that. I am glad to see that Obama and the DNC learned their lesson so well. The people of Florida need to understand that their votes can only count when they are voting for phonies promising to unite the country I guess.

Go ahead and give Senator Clinton the delegates in MI and FL already. Check the numbers and do the math yourself. MI has already given theirs to her and FL will dispurse on the 1st of March.She will still be behind by more than 100 delegates. That will end the argument. But the media wants this circus to continue an little longer.

Too bad more people in this Country don't READ....that is what they are counting on.

And if Obamatruth.org is all they have I am booking my ticket to DC for Jan 20,2009 to join the Party!

OBAMA '08

Thank you everyone for your support! We are all working so hard to make this happen. We will make history. We will change and unite this country like never before. I am so honored to be a part of this phenomenal movement. Everyone is so organized and methodical, working so hard and efficiently all across the nation to achieve this goal. That in itself has inspired me to work even harder. Again, thanks for your support and hard work.

The message being delivered has remained consistent and is working it's way not just across America but across the world! Thinking about it makes my eyes water up and a chill run down my back.

GO OBAMA! YES WE CAN! (you better believe it!) ITS TIME FOR CHANGE!

Where Obama's Journey Began CHICAGO, April 27, 2007

(CBS) When Barack Obama arrived on Chicago's South Side, he was on a mission to help. The fires of the once-vibrant steel industry had already died, there were 326,000 people unemployed, and nearly 70 percent of public school children were living below the poverty line. "It was a lot of poverty there, but a lot of pride," says Loretta Augustine, a community activist. Chicago was in the midst of a political firestorm. Harold Washington, the city's first black mayor, had taken the reins and racial tensions were running high, CBS Evening News anchor Katie Couric reports. It was at a church, in 1984, where Obama came to work as a community organizer for a faith-based group called the Developing Communities Project. He worked in Altgeld Gardens, a racially segregated housing project on Chicago's far South Side. In a city where political power means everything, the people of Altgeld were invisible. "To a great extent, we were powerless," Augustine says. Obama's challenge was to empower the impoverished residents of Altgeld Gardens and turn them into political players. But older members of the group were skeptical of the 23-year-old Columbia University graduate. "How was this kid gonna be any help to them?" says Gerry Kellman, who hired Obama. But over time, Obama earned their trust and figured out how to make those voices heard. "What Barack had to do was instill confidence in those folks," Kellman says. Then there was a crucial meeting: A representative from the mayor's office tried to take over ? and suddenly the South Side activist rose up. "From the back of the room came Barack's voice, and he says, 'We want to hear from Loretta. Let Loretta talk,'" Augustine recalls. "And in that instant, he changed the meeting and focused right back on our agenda." Today, still surrounded by 53 toxic waste dumps, Altgeld Gardens is often called "the toxic donut." In 1967, Augustine's 6-year-old daughter died of leukemia ? which she's convinced was caused by toxic waste. Yet no one was listening to the people in the neighborhood. "We found out there was a secret meeting in South Chicago on this issue and we had been excluded," she says. Obama and 300 community members marched to that secret meeting. "You cannot leave the community out of the process. It was so powerful," Augustine says. Most people stayed in that job for four months. Obama continued to fight for four years, cutting his teeth on community activism. ? the first measure of his leadership skills that are now being tested on a much larger stage. "Barack came here very idealistic, and he left much more practical," Kellman says. "He left, but he didn't leave us," adds Augustine. "We claim him."

Obama's view on women is very clear. Look at his wife and her accomplishments. She is also smart, forceful and very capable. He has the endorsement of Oprah - hardly a wilting wall flower. Finally, look at his two girls. the point is: His view towards women is a progressive Democratic view that matches Billary's. The Billarys are just trying to create straw men.  

To Jerry S.  Your long stupid posts are boring.  Obama said "periodically down"........he is either stupid or has bad script writer. Oh wait,  or maybe he "borrowed" it from someone??
If he's not a "chicken" as you say, then he should debate Hillary in Wisconsis.

Women's Health: Obama worked to pass a number of laws in Illinois and Washington to improve the health of women. His accomplishments include creating a task force on cervical cancer, providing greater access to breast and cervical cancer screenings, and helping improve prenatal and premature birth services. http://www.barackobama.com/issues/healthcare/

Barack Obama introduced legislation to combat domestic violence by providing $25 million per year for partnerships between domestic violence prevention organizations to combat violence against women. In our country approximately 1,400 women die as a result of domestic violence and one in four women in the United States will experience domestic violence in her lifetime. Barack Obama co-sponsored the reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act, a measure that encourages law enforcement and community organizations to provide services, grants and education to prevent sexual assault, domestic violence and dating violence.

Does the magic number 2025 include the delegates from Michigan and Florida? Since one of the superdelegate is dead, will the number be reduced?

I do 't understand how the delegate count for FL and MI haven't been taken completely off the table. FL and MI had a total of 366 delegates. Only 183 have been taken off the total number of delegates needed. Went from 2,208 to 2,025. Shouldn't that be reflected in the number of delegates needed so the true number isn't really 2,025 but rather 1,842.

The reason only 183 have been taken off is that a candidate would not need all of the Fl and Mi delegates in order to secure the nomination.  They instead would need half (366/2 = 183) of the Fl and Mi delegates and a majority of the other delegates which as it turns out is 2025.

Looks like Hillary must be paying people to get on the web to try and stop the BIG "O". Obama is the only candidate in the running that is not corrupt. McCain has 26 paid lobbyist on board as campaign advisers. Hillary Clinton has 11 paid lobbyist on her campaign. You don't think there are deals being made here. Bill Clinton set the standard for the most immoral president ever (Whitewater, Lewinsky, Illegal Campaing Funds, Witnesses turning up dead?) We do not need another Republican in the Whitehouse and we do not need another Clinton. Although it is hard to ditinguish which would be worse. As an American public we all need to STAND UP and take back what is rightfully ours. AMERICA. White, Black, Latino, Asian or whatever your origin may be it does not matter. Young, Old, Male, Female. It does not matter. What matters is we are all Americans. We all have the right to vote. That wasn't always the case but it is now thanks to our ancestors who fought for that right. So what we need to do is STAND UP and fight for a candidate who believes in all Americans.
MR. BARACK OBAMA.

BTW just in case you are wondering I am part German, Irish, Scotish, and Native American. most folks would say I am a white male. I just say I'm proud to be an American and proud to Support OBAMA 08

Let's take a closer look at who's really qualified and or who's
really working for the good of all of us in the Senate. Obama or
Clinton.

Senator Clinton, who has served only one full term - 6yrs. - and
another year campaigning, has managed to author and pass into law - 20 -
twenty pieces of legislation in her first six years.

These bills can be found on the website of the Library of
Congress www.thomas.loc.gov , but to save
you trouble, I'll post them here for you.

1. Establish the Kate Mullany National Historic Site.

2. Support the goals and ideals of Better Hearing and Speech Month.

3. Recognize the Ellis Island Medal of Honor.

4. Name courthouse after Thu rgood Marshall.

5. Name courthouse after James L. Watson.

6. Name post office after Jonn A. O'Shea.

7. Designate Aug. 7, 2003, as National Purple Heart Recognition
Day.

8. Support the goals and ideals of National Purple Heart
Recognition Day.

9. Honor the life and legacy of Alexander Hamilton on the
bicentennial of his death.

10. Congratulate the Syracuse Univ. Orange Men's Lacrosse Team
on winning the championship.

11. Congratulate the Le Moyne College Dolphins Men's Lacrosse
Team on winning the championship.

12. Establish the 225th Anniversary of the American Revolution
Commemorative Program.

13. Name post office after Sergeant Riayan A. Tejeda.

14. Honor Shirley Chisholm for her service to the nation and
express condolences on her death.

15. Honor John J. Downing, Brian Fahey, and Harry Ford,
firefighters who lost their lives on duty. Only five of Clinton 's bi lls
are, more substantive.



16. Extend period of unemployment assistance to victims of 9/11.

17. Pay for city projects in response to 9/11



18. Assist landmine victims in other countries.

19. Assist family caregivers in accessing affordable respite
care.

20. Designate part of the National Forest System in Puerto Rico
as protected in the wilderness preservation system.

There you have it, the fact's straight from the Senate Record.







Now, I would post those of Obama's, but the list is too
substantive, so I'll mainly categorize.

During the first - 8 - eight years of his elected service he
sponsored over 820 bills. He introduced

233 regarding healthcare reform,

125 on poverty and public assistance,

112 crime fighting bills,

97 economic bills,

60 human rights and anti-discrimination bills,

21 ethics reform bills,

15 gun control,

6 veterans affairs and many others.


His first year in the U.S. Senate, he authored 152 bills and
co-sponsored another 427. These inculded **the Coburn-Obama Government
Transparency Act of 2006 - became law, **The Lugar-Obama Nuclear
Non-proliferation and Conventional Weapons Threat Reduction Act, -
became law, **The Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act, passed the
Senate, **The 2007 Government Ethics Bill, - became law, **The Prote
ction Against Excessive Executive Compensation Bill, In committee, and
many more.

In all, since entering the U.S. Senate, Senator Obama has
written 890 bills and co-sponsored another 1096.

An impressive record, for someone who supposedly has no record
according to some who would prefer that this comparison not be made
public.

He's not just a talker.
He's a doer.

Let's make Bill Clinton our nation's first First Gentleman!  http://www.clintonforfirstgentleman.org/

If I were in Hillary's position, I'd be "down" too.  Oh, and I'm a guy.  He likely meant she's desperate and frantic.  It has nothing to do with being a woman and everything to do with being in a tough position as a candidate.  Come on, people!  Just because it is possible to twist anything into a race/gender argument does not mean we should.  Debate the issues.  I'll vote for whoever I think is doing that best.

Come on over to BarackObama.com and help us with making calls, raising money, and working to nominate the most electable and progressive candidate running. Yes we can.

hey everyone

do you remember clinton freefall comercial its applying on hillary falling in the polls but for one big problem is the parachute they have is defected too bad……..lol

obama 08

I'm still for Hillary and yes I hope...that she wins. But, I am still ready for vote for Obama. I'm an old guy but I can't believe that and Democrat or independant could vote for the McCain ticket---especially after viewing him with G.W.Bush today. Looks to me that there are Democrats willing to shoot themselves in the foot just to avoid voting for either Hillary or Barrack. What crazy thinking. It has no logic. All based on emotion and anger from god knows where. So, you don't like a candiate. Too bad. Voting against one or the other of the Democratic candidates who is the final nominee by voting for McCain or nobody at all is plain stupid. Why all the heat and so little long-range thinking? Go Hillary! Go Obama! Go to sleep,Republicans. You need your rest and so do we need your rest. The Republicans make Moses look young.

When I see Clinton supporters' "arguments" against Obama based on purported sexist remarks or plagiarism, it makes me really sad for America.  It's no wonder we can't get anything accomplished on the major problems facing this country when people are so desperate to get elected that they will stoop to the lowest lows to get there, dragging the rest of the American electorate with them in the process.  If Clinton gets the democratic nomination, I'll be voting for McCain.  At least you can believe what he says, and he has a proven record of working across the aisle.

obama is a liar along with his wife and oprah. she needs to lose her ratings.she is asking like she is racist. she is running around trying to get all the black votes for obama.he did not get my vote,i didn't buy into it.he is not qualified for president.he is running a revival.

20 YEARS of BUSH and CLINTON are ENOUGH! I believe most Americans agree! We need a new face in the White House!

Senior Advisor for Clinton campaign, Howard Wolfson, Steals Barack Obama Line on Hardball over a month ago.

another example of a pathetic campaign that indulges in hypocrisy..

How could anyone think Obama was referring to a 60 yr old woman having a period?

LOL

That is just desperation.

I have a feeling she will win WI, then maybe Clinton supporters won't have to take it so far.

But a CNN poll says they're tied in TX, which means she can't win the nomination anyways.

http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalpunch/2008/02/michelle-obam-1.html

Why is MSNBC, not talking about this? Anything that Bill Clinton *may* have done is game, but anything that the Obamas do that may hinder his candidacy needs to be kept under wraps? Just goes to show your bias.

I believe i am going to take the advice of some of the bloggers at Media Matters and contact the sponsors of their MSNBC's programs - Hardball, Countdown etc.

Clinton needed a win in NH and dredged up a good cry on the day before the election.  Clinton needs a win now in Wisconsin and has made a vacuous claim of plagiarism the day before the election.

Imagine.  Anyone else see a pattern?   Do SOMETHING right before an election to fool people.  Hmmm.  Why does THAT sound familiar?  Terror alerts anyone?

(I wonder who writes HER speeches)

I found it quite interesting that Olbermann could rant today in defense of Obama's "PLAGIARISM" yet he apparently cannot correctly spell the word. Maybe his rant is "PLAIGARISM", as this is the way he  twice misspelled the word on his newshole page!

Obama says that in his defense to the accusations that he uses parts of other people's speeches that he wrote 2 books and that he writes "most of his speeches".  Well the LA Times and Chicago Sun Times have stated that many parts of Obama's books were stretches of the truth, combined facts and people for more of an effect, and that he took credit for many things he did not do.  As for his speeches he currently employes a number of speech writers and one of them were featured in various press outlets a few weeks back on how he writes Obama's speeches.  I would be surprised if we don't hear more from this.

WHY SHOULDN'T MY VOTE AND CONSEQUENTLY DELEGATE COUNT IN FLORIDA AS THEY, THE DNC PUNISHED FLORIDA, (FLOOR-I-DA), NOT (FLAH-A-DA), FOR MOVING THE PRIMARY?  ALL VOTES AND THE CONSEQUENT ACTIONS OF THEIR VOTE SHOULD BE COUNTED.  AS SUCH, CLINTON SHOULD GO AFTER THE DELEGATES SHE WON IN FLORIDA AS SHE WON BY A GREAT MARGIN COMPARED TO HER ONE YEAR SENATOR, THE SECOND IS HIS YEAR ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL.

THAT IS CHANGE, YES, BUT AT 46 YEARS OF AGE DO YOU THINK HE KNOWS WHAT TO DO AS THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES?  WHAT ABOUT FOREIGN POLICY, I WOULD WRITE A WEAK AREA OF THIS NEW PERSON WHICH CAN TALK VERY GOOD IF HE HAS NOTES OR A SPEECH TO READ, BUT DOES NOT DO VERY WELL THINKING ON HIS FEET TO QUESTIONS PRESENTED HIM AS I HAVE HEARD.

Hillary came into this first leg of the trip to the White House with reportedly, "The Clinton Political Machine", former President Clinton at her side, 35 years of experience according to her and a longstanding association with Washington, in various roles and almost 20 years of media exposure.  I am a 59 year old white female, recently widowed, and had looked forward to the first female President, but after seeing how she has handled her campaign, I am worried.  I am sure she was ready for a battle with any of the other nominees on the primary ballot, but she wasn't ready for Barack Obama, she didn't change her strategy, she ran out of funds, her staff started leaving and now the superdelegates(markers called in, no need for cash) are leaving.  Will she be ready for a surprise attack, a regime change?  Will she handle the National budget as badly as her campaign funds?  Can she handle the toughest job on the planet?  I thought so, but I don't anymore.  I hear complaints, nickpicking, I am disappointed. I would rather wait for a woman who represents todays female, strong, intelligent, ambitious, with the inner wisdom women have passed from generation to generation.  We can do better.  I want a female President, but I want a great one.  Hillary isn't it  

To wrap up the day on the topic of plagiarism...

In case you missed it because the press was otherwise occupied.

Hillary, you liar!!!! Cannibalized the newsday with a total waste of everyone's time. And she wonders why her negatives are so high?

People, the truth is out. And the truth is Obama.

I really would be fine with either Hillary Clinton or Barrack Obama as President.  After eight horrid years of Republican mismanagement of the war and the economy, with McCain generally promising more of the same, either Hillary or Barrack will be a vast improvement.  

That being said, I can see why the McCain campaign fears an Obama nomination.  As one commentator noted, McCain would be the second coming of Bob Dole, a cranky war hero with a long history in the Senate who was due for the nomination, versus a charismatic, fresh face in Barrack Obama.  Heck, John at 5'7" is dwarfed standing next to Barrack. It is no accident why McCain is trying to bring down Barrack.  Because Barrack is the tougher opponent.  John McCain v. Barrack Obama would be Bob Dole v. Bill Clinton, Round 2.

Hillary supporters, why would you continue to back someone whose approach to getting elected and being president is that apparently not all Americans matter? Just the ones who get you elected.

Why waste your support on such a blatant hypocrite of a candidate who continues to show little else than crassness and desperation?

Obama in '08!!!!

Today, people are talking about the race issue between the two candidates but I do believe that they should go above that notion of race. We have been accepting the concept that anybody half black and half white is an African American; why?
I am black myself, have a lot of admiration for Obama and proud of him, and would honestly vote for both candidates. The Clintons have been wonderful to the entire world.
Barack’s candidacy should be seen as a victory for America; and a union between two races which should gather people toward a same goal without any distinction of ethnicity. Today America should be proud of having such a person, to whom everybody in America could identify herself or himself with; whose mother is white and father is black. Isn’t that the perfect melting pot that has been, in part, making America be the best and powerful country in the world?
“Different but equal” has been a leitmotiv in America. When are we going to walk the talk? Now is the time to demonstrate that America can reach the mountain top by being all together and consider each other without seeing race when we talk or act.

God Bless America!

Why does Hillary always twist everything Sen. Obama
says. It really gets sickening. I pray Obama Wins for I know he will make a major change in the way people judge each other. I haven't felt this way since John Kennedy ran for office.  

Obama claims that his father was given a free ride to USA by JFK. This is totally untrue. His father came to USA long before JFK became president.

Obama will tell anything including utter lies to make his point.

Please read Obama's speach at a church in Selma, Alabama in March 207 to make his point that his existence (birth) is due to the march in Selma, Alabama. Unfortunately, he was off by many many years.

Here is the link to his speach:

I concur. calm down. Senator Chuck Schumer was on Meet the press and basically outlined HRC strategy.

Play this game till June. Even if the delegate difference is 20% or more...Events between now and perhaps June will cause change in the mood of the country and perhaps favor Hillary.

I think its a game of attrition.

I am perhaps an Obama fan, don't like this, but I think its only a good thing to vet him out as well. If  he comes out winning the game of attrition (which I hope he does), only makes the game fair and square...

Obama is nothing but a motivational speaker, but so is Tony Robbins.  That doesn't mean he would make a great president.  Barack Hussein Obama has little experience and is weak on national security.  I am sick of the media generated hype and free ride he is getting.  The media does not scrutinize his record or expose his past.  He plagirizes speeches and deliberately stages rallies with so-called supporters who faint.  What a coincidence that they are always white young females in the front so he can call attention to it and offer them water.  Oh please!!  Obama is not to be trusted.  People should stop drinking the Cool-Aid.

"I asking you to believe."
"Not only in my ability to bring about change in washington ... i am asking to believe in yours."

This is the change we can believe in.

Here is HRC and her divisive politics. When she loses, she says that the electorate doesn't represent the country. According to her, we should accept the world as it is, blue states will always be blue states and red states the same. Talking about progress?
This is the mindset that people who have spent their whole time in washington have. And in this election, at this time we are going to stop the game playing and make politics cool again.

check for yourself how negative the clinton camp is: http://www.politico.com/blogs/bensmith/0208/Secondclass_delegates.html#comments


Fired up and ready to go.

THEY VALUE OF EXPERIENCE CANNOT BE UNDERESTIMATED. PLEASE, FOR THE SAKE OF OUR COUNTRY RESEARCH

"THE CJ POLITICAL REPORT DEVAL PATRICK A CAUTIONARY TALE."

THIS MAY HELP SOME OBAMA SUPPORTERS REALIZE THE REAL DANGERS OF ENLISTING AN INEXPERIENCED AND RHETORICALLY-BASED CANDIDATE INTO OFFICE. ONCE YOU RESEARCH THIS, YOU WILL UNDERSTAND WHY MA RESIDENTS REFRAINED FROM VOTING FOR OBAMA REGARDLESS OF KENNEDY AND KERRY'S ENDORSEMENT. BE RESPONSIBLE, AND DO YOUR RESEARCH BEFORE YOU VOTE! DO NOT SEND OUR COUNTRY INTO RUINS! YOU WOULDN'T LET SOMEONE PERFORM SURGERY ON YOU WITHOUT AN M.D.! YOU WOULDN'T LEAVE YOUR CHILDREN WITH A SITTER WHO DIDN'T HAVE A BACKGROUND CHECK. THEN WHY WOULD YOU CHANCE OUR COUNTRY AT THIS MOST CRITICAL POINT? SAVE YOUR RISKY DREAMS FOR 4-8 YEARS FROM NOW. OBAMA ISN'T GOING ANYWHERE. WE CAN'T AFFORD TO GAMBLE.

You know your best friend when you are in trouble. HRC likes when you vote for her but if you dont vote for her you are labeled activist who doesn't represent the country.

Hilary Clinton discriminate voters in red states, she discriminate based on abilities.

NEW from Hilary Clinton.
Hilary clinton dscriminate based on abilities. If you are smart, then you cannot be president.
Hilary clinton discriminates democrats in red states calling them activist or democrats who don't matter.
