Default Enough Of The Power Hungry Clinton’s!!!

I have really had my fill of both Hillary and Bill Clinton a/k/a the Hill & Bill Show Circus, which is exactly what they have made this primary season. Both Bill and Hillary are the old guard of the same old politics as usual. This is blatantly obvious with the constant attacks, skirting of the truth and implied statement then acting oh so innocent. The behavior of the Clinton’s is exactly why most voters believe Hillary is a divisive candidate. Also most voters have zero interest in two things; continuing the Bush/Clinton dynasty and having a husband and wife presidency.
I’m not even going to go into the he said she said crap; we’ve all been flooded with that from the MSM. Hillary claims at nausea to be for change however, her behavior only suggest that she is still old school of politics. Change, is just a catch word for votes, a word Hillary suddenly learned on her flight from Iowa to New Hampshire. Once again Hillary is pandering for vote at the expense of change.
Why is it that every time I turn on the news or read a paper Bill Clinton is in front of me? Has anyone told him that he is not running for president? The days of Bill Clinton are over, never to return and yet he doesn’t get it. His suggestions and misleading statements, continue the environment that progressive democrats are trying to get away from. Yet, Bill still believes it’s all about Bill. Making statements like “I’m just a hired hand here, and I work for nothing,” really you would never know it with as much as his face and words cover the air waves. Bill Clinton has occupied more air time than all the other spouses combined, GOP included. Bill Clinton is damaging the progressive movement of change and it’s time the “hired hand” was fired.
Today, Hillary’s new statement is “I have to defend myself,” personally I want to know what the candidates are going to do for the country. I could give a rats behind about any of them defending themselves or their records. Why, because it’s all spin and I can find the answer myself. The future is about change and what they’re going to do to get the country on the right track. It’s not about defending what happened in the past. The Clinton’s just don’t get it.
So why has Hillary won the last few primaries/caucuses? It can’t be her agenda because it’s pretty close to Edwards and Obama. Is it because she is female or that people long for Bill back in the White House. I hope that’s not why. Both Hillary and Bill continue to divide the democratic party and numbers show that voters are not buying the Clinton change mantra.
Numbers, percentages and statistics can be viewed in a variety of ways, with primaries they’re looked at positive, what the winner received. If you look at the Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada and Michigan results, you have to look at the votes Hillary didn’t get. These numbers should shed some light on why the Clinton’s continue to go down the road of divisive old politics.
Let’s look at how the numbers really shack out for Hillary and you’ll see the total voter support, she is hardly running away with primary:
Iowa Caucus: Clinton 737, Obama 940, Edwards 744 and the rest of the candidates totaled 80. This means that 1764 of the caucus goers voted against Hillary;
New Hampshire Primary: Clinton 112,251, Obama 104,772, Edwards 56,681, Richardson 13,249 and the rest of the candidates totaled 5151. That means 169,853 voted against Hillary;
Michigan Primary: Clinton 328,151, Uncommitted 237,762 and the rest of the candidates 27924. That means 265,686 voted against Hillary.
Nevada Caucus: Clinton 5355, Obama 4773, Edwards 396 and the rest of the candidates totaled 36. This means that 5205 of the caucus goers voted against Hillary.
Total Numbers: Clinton has received a total of 446,493 for and everyone else combined 442,508 against. That’s only a difference of 3985 votes separating the “I voted for Hillary” and the “I voted against Hillary.”
The total numbers show Hillary’s lead is slim to non existent, which is why Hillary and Bill are creating problems.
The Clinton’s are so hungry for power that they will stop at nothing to achieve their goals. Real change and support for Hillary would show a great spread in the numbers. Real change would mean that the Clinton’s were running a positive campaign. Instead the Clinton’s continue with the same old stuff; old idea, old politics, old tactics, old thinking. Frankly their time has past.
Bill needs to go back to his foundation and accept the fact that his time has past. Hillary needs to get on the same page as progressives and truly start to understand the meaning of change. And, as for Hillary not being divisive, that’s a task that may be hard for her to achieve than understanding real change.
