2. Democrats working to disenfranchise...
This shit makes me sick, literally.

...

“This could shut down those precincts in the casinos and keep culinary members from voting,” said Jon Ralston, a political pundit with The Las Vegas Sun, who broke the story on his blog. Mr. Ralston said it is unclear whether there are ties between the lawsuit and the Clinton campaign but, he predicted, “Even if they’re Hillary supporters, the campaign’s going to say they had nothing to do with it.It is unclear when the court will hear the matter.

3. Democrats aren't
Edited on Sat Jan-12-08 11:46 PM by origin1286
Two corrupt and power hungry happened to get married and get a taste of power and this is the result.

Win by any means necessary. Slash and burn. Scorched earth. Whatever you want to call it.

4. Absolutely, notice that when it backfires the plan is to spread the cause
The title is Democrats and the story is HRC.

5. Thanks. Silly me...
Here's another tidbit from the WaPo on Hillary's dirty hands --

The Nevada State Education Association, some of whose top leaders have individually endorsed Clinton, filed the suit and is using a law firm with close ties to the onetime front-runner, Kummer, Kaempfer, Bonner, Renshaw, and Ferrario. Former congressmen James H. Bilbray (D-Nev.), a lawyer at that firm, has endorsed Clinton and is stumping for her in the Silver State.

6. Also, Hillary Clinton has EVERY opportunity to publicly oppose the lawsuit
The timing of it (apparently no objection was raised until the Culinary Union endorsed Obama) really tells the WHOLE story.
