Democrats Divided? Bill: 'That's a Bunch of Bull'

Share

March 28, 2008 2:28 PM

ABC News' Z. Byron Wolf Reports: At a campaign stop for his wife in Kannapolis, North Carolina, former President Clinton weighed in on the protracted Democratic nomination fight.

Clinton dismissed talk about whether the nomination battle between Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-NY, and Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., is dividing Democrats.

"That's a bunch of bull," he said.

"I wasn't nominated until June 2nd, 1992," he argued, then said maybe it was June 3rd.

Watch the VIDEO HERE.

He told several hundred North Carolinians that the race should continue because, "you have a right for your votes to get counted."

We shouldn't listen to Bill. I doubt there's a Democrat alive who knows more about 'bull' than he.

The only "bull" here is coming from BILL! He will NEVER shut up! Can't wait until Hilliary gets in and he gets to have a press conference along with hers every time. It will be so nice to see that Hilliary is SO qualified that she will need to have a "co-president" beside herself at every turn. So much for being her own "girl."

I don't think Bill will urge Hillary to get out of the race until he has secured his postion as McCain's vice-presidential nominee. Why else would he be on the stump praising McCain so much? He's determined to get back into the White House one way or the other!

In Indiana - we've not played part in a primary since Robert Kennedy campaigned here. Funny that all of the sudden Bill's worried about me, here in Indiana, voting. Oh wait - his wife is behind!!!

Read the spin, people, read the spin...

I think there is. Don't you think Hillary (liar-liar- pant-suit-on-fire Hillary) knows better? Bill is just a puppet on a string.

She isn't dividing Democrats anymore than Obama is. Maybe the reason she doesn't quit is because at least 50% of actual Democrats (not independents and crossover Republicans who caucused for Obama because they just hated Hillary) want the most qualified candidate, not the most politically correct one. We need to have a choice as long as possible in case other disturbing facts arise about Obama's beliefs and value system. If he had waited and run in a few more years after Americans had really gotten to know who he is and what he represents, and had actually achieved a national record to run on instead of rock star status, we wouldn't be having a problem.

Bob Casey endorsed Obama today. This should make PA very interesting. Although I think Hillary should drop out now, if she doesn't win PA by a huge margin she should immediately pack it in. Otherwise, she just hurting her party...

Alright Bill, we'll count the votes, but the outcome is still the same. Hillary loses. Why are you so intent on ruining the Dem party this election. I hate to disappoint you, but you won't be seeing your third term. Put your ego and that of your wifes aside and do what's best for the party.

Trivia Question:
Which presidential candidate has not lifted a finger to help resolve the Michigan and Florida voter disenfranchisement problem?

Hint:
His last name rhymes with pajama.

What an intelligent man Bill Clinton is! Hillary is equally intelligent, if not more so. She deserves credit for assisting him in being successful. His presidency was very successful. With the vote being so close, he knows that the situation can change quickly. The Obama camp wants to say they have it all wrapped up, but they do not.

Cut short the process? We know why. They are afraid that the sky will fall before the Convention. If they crown their king now, he will win the country by a landslide. This experienced Democrat does not think so. The one person who has been the toughest in this campaign is Hillary Clinton. She has beaten back the Karl Rove/Republican playbook first used by Obama in one of the earlier debates in this campaign. She has fought back against the vast cable news network. She has endured so much ridicule that an ordinary person would not survive. Guess what, she is still standing, she does not throw in the towel, she never gives up, and my Lord, she is tough!

Bill is right on this matter. It is a bunch of bull to talk about division before everyone has voted. If I lived in Pennsylvania, or one of the other primary states, I would be mad as hell. I would want my vote counted. I am a lifelong Democrat, I have worked for the Party, and I would be mad as hell to be denied my vote.

With that said, Go, Hillary!

Uh the Republicans (like Limbaugh) are voting for Hilliary. Can anybody here read a newspaper. (It was in the LA and NY Times so it MUST be true...) Is it SO wrong for DEMOCRATS to choose who gets to represent the DEMOCRATIC party??? Strange days, indeed!!!

Posted by: cba | Mar 28, 2008 3:28:53 PM

My gosh people listen to yourselves>>>>
You think Hilly billy can run this country.One a wim>>>>All her help to billy was in her head she was wishing.They are the worst thing that could happen to this country.My God 8 years of the jerks is enought for any one to take.

This talk of Clinton being SHOVED OUT of the race should send a clear signal to folks that there is a LOT of BS , and that Clinton never had a chance.

Obama cant get 2024 delegates, and needs super delegates to win, and you expect Clinton to drop out? Why?

on what grounds?

In other words, what is the point of having this process at all if they are having a back room deal right now?

If you take a look at all the shucking and jiving the Obama camp is doing, it beome ridiculous.

You want the 'will of the people' but then stop the process with 10 states left. Even though Obama hasnt won.

?????????????????????????

Im telling everyone quite clearly now that the MEDIA is going to get ROASTED ALIVE when all this is said and done.

When all the smoke clears. When all the fuss is over and they look back on this democratic nomination process, it will be CLEAR that the LIberal media HYPED Obama into the nomination.

You Obama fans dont mind. Not until the day comes when the media TURNS on Obama. And that day will come.

Then you too will realize how devastaing and dangerous the media really is.
