Kerry Hits Hillary for Florida Flip-Flop

1/29/08, 1:38 pm EST

The Obama campaign just held a conference call with Senator John Kerry who slammed Hillary Clinton for abandoning her previous commitment not to contest Florida or seek its forfeited delegates.

The Massachusetts senator couldn’t quite bring himself to call the reversal a flip-flop, opting instead for this phrasing — “a switch of position, if you will” — but called on reporters to cover the Florida beauty contest for what it is: “It is not a legitimate race. It should not become a spin race. It should not become a fabricated race.”

Obama campaign manager David Plouffe called Clinton’s campaigning-while-not-campaigning act “too cute by half.”

“Our focus is on February fifth,” he said. “Honestly if she’s spending a night in Florida instead of a February fifth state, that’s just fine with us.”

That’s nice Kerry, let’s ignore the entire state of Florida. Hmm, this sounds familiar. Didn’t Bush do this to Gore in 2000? Obama is worse than Bush, and he’s proving he’ll use the same tactics. Obama is trying to suppress our votes!!! Shane on him!!!

RS- You’re out of it. It’s the other way around there, I think. Clinton (Hillary or Bill) will stop at nothing to regain the presidency. Let’s not let that happen.

Kerry lambasting someone about flip flops? Thats certainly rich.

Well, it is starting to look like Kerry and Obama, to say nothing of Ted Kennedy, are just sexist bastards who don’t want to let a few ladies in that old boy’s cllub. No nice way to say it. I never thought I’d be agreeing with NOW, but there it is. Women do a good job in executive roles, and it’s past time to see one in the White House.

The DNC stripped Florida of its delegates for pushing their primary date up, against the party rules. As a result they will have no delegates at the convention. Seems like kind of a waste of campaign time and resources to campaign there right now.

John Kerry is four years too late going on the offensive like this. But does he know that?

HILLARY LOVES YOU

Neo-Lib Hillary is most desperately needed for president by the entrenched horde of Mexican aliens demanding amnesty, Mexico for the vast revenue sent home by these aliens; Israel to maintain the un-constitutional sacrificial flow of American wealth and blood, China to steal military secrets, prescription drug and weapons lobbies for huge government deals, sacrificial killers of children for government supported abortions, professional freeloaders for all of life’s necessities, and Bill for Bill.

But are the American People now wanting to substitute Neo-Con corruption and moderate taxes, for Neo-Lib corruption and very high taxes? Or, are the American People now wanting to end the ongoing government tyranny, by justly condemning every government Neo-Con and Neo-Lib to the revolutionary firing squad; to restore the Constitutional Liberty of the Reagan Conservative Republicans and Kennedy Liberal Democrats?

The World has been keenly following the American Cultural War, long awaiting the Dawn of an American Reformation and the beginning of the end of the Era of the Ugly Neo-Con and Neo-Lib military interventionist policies. How is it that the entire World is now cheering for a conservative Libertarian Reagan Republican and a liberal Kennedy Democrat?

Google: Mearsheimer Israel Lobby and US Foreign Policy; Stricherz Why the Democrats are Blue; Mark Penn Hillary; and, Who Would the World Elect.
