REPEAT AFTER ME: A Vote for Hillary Clinton is a vote for John McCain - says former Clinton SD
It's time to end this, Hillary.



A leader of the Democratic Party under Bill Clinton has switched his allegiance to Barack Obama and is encouraging fellow Democrats to "heal the rift in our party" and unite behind the Illinois senator.

Bill Clinton appointed Andrew chairman of the DNC near the end of his presidency, and Andrew endorsed the former first lady last year on the day she declared her candidacy for the White House.

Andrew said in his letter that he is switching his support because "a vote for Hillary Clinton is a vote to continue this process, and a vote to continue this process is a vote that assists John McCain."

Back in 2000 a lot of wise men came and told it like it is. Ralph Nader, Michael Moore, Bill Maher, just to name a few, told us there was no difference between Bush and Gore. In fact, they called them Gush and Bore, remember that. And they were...WRONG! We have suffered greatly for that mistake.

The definition of insanity is to do the same thing and expect different results. I hope it doesn't take a President McCain, to show people how totally different Hillary is.

I think very highly of Obama. But, his supporters have lifted him up so high on very little solid evidence. Without anything to lift him you have to push down, to demonize Hillary. Open your eyes just long enough to see that he is not the savior and she is not the devil.

Your extremist attitude has hurt Obama. When you lift a person unrealistically, you also lift expectations. Obama is getting this trashing from the Wright situation because his supporters have created an image that his judgment is perfection and he can do no wrong. Turns out he's human and he doesn't always have good judgement.

61. The point isn't that Hillary and McCain are the same.
The point is that Hillary can't win, and she is bloodying the candidate almost certain to become our nominee.

A Vote for Clinton is a Vote Clinton not McCain. So much bitterness coming from camp Obama it would be funny if it wasn't so sad.

He switched on his own, and made his own statement. He wasn't even lobbied by Obama.

25. I'm perfectly aware of that, however as a DEMOCRAT I belive
a vote for Clinton is a vote for Clinton, and a vote for Obama is a vote for Obama, neither is a vote for McCain and any democrat that doesn't see that is not a democrat EMO.

60. Well except for the fact that this is the primaries not the GE
and it's pretty well known that a chunk of voters for Hillary in these primaries do so only to keep her in the game and will not be there for her come November.

IMO, Andrews has it 100% correct ~~ if you support Hillary Clinton, you are working for John McCain. This NEEDS to be repeated again and again. People like you HARM the Democratic Party.

JMHO

27. Go ahead and dismiss it...
...Even though he was a Clinton appointee, and even though he endorsed Hillary
Clinton on the day she announced....he's probably from a small state....or a caucus
state...or a state with fewer electoral votes...or a state where yellow pantsuits are
illegal.

This story just made MSNBC!

35. Any support of Clinton is support for McCain.
Actually, I am an Edwards supporter who came over to Obama because Hillary Clinton is a lying DINO piece of shit. I have NEVER voted for a Republican in my life ~~ and if Hilly (gawd forbid) is the nominee, I will continue my life-long tradition of NEVER voting for a Repubbie. That means that under no circumstances will I vote for the lying piece of shit, Hillary Clinton. In fact, in the NY US Senate race, after she loses the nom for POTUS if she decides to run again for the US Sen and there is a Dem challenger to her, I can guarantee that the challenger will get a large donation from me and I will work to see she gets defeated before she gets a chance to put her name on the ballot for that GE.

I truly and completely hate her and always will.

30. and what was the vote for the IWR? A vote for death, higher energy and food prices
and what is perhaps even worse it took over a year before she even slightly mentioned that vote might have been wrong

She and the other Democrats who voted for the IWR knew it over rode the War Powers Act, and that there was no need for it

How can one take it seriously that she isn't a war monger when she voted for the Kyle/Lieberman ammmendment, and recently said she would nuke Iran if they attacked Israel

To me there is something terribly wrong with leadership like that

18. I suppose I would take this more seriously...
If the Obama Fan Base hadn't created an atmosphere where any elected official who does not love The Precious is smeared as a racist or, if he/she is black, as a race traitor who will now be taken out with a primary challenge.

I wonder what they really think? You know, if they weren't being threatened and blackmailed.

22. Wow....he had endorsed Hillary!
I wonder if she had him in her column? Was he officially in anyone's column?

This is extraordinary.

From the recent news reports--both candidates know who is in their camp--and who isn't. They
both know the score.

47. One of the very many early endorsements, from when she was
thought to be inevitable. There are probably more than a few of that first pre-primary endorsement group that are having very serious second thoughts.

I hope this starts a trend.

If Obama overwhelms her in NC and beats her in IN, there will be more.

23. It is either a vote for change, or a vote for the same old politics that have brought us to where we
are.

That someone should be rewarded for voting for the IWR is beyond me. The excuse that I was misled doesn't cut it. Everyone who knew the folly of Viet Nam knew the War Powers Act was what held the executive branch in check for undeclared wars.

What the IWR did is over-rule the War Powers Act, and remove Congressional oversight of that war off the executive branch

The Iraq war is responsible for hundreds of thousands of deaths, and is the reason energy and food prices have hurt people so much

A vote for that war is unforgivable

50. Hillary had no problems with that "party insider" not too long ago.
"Joe was a strong leader who put the Democratic Party on the right path,” Clinton said. "I'm honored to have his support."

As is becoming clearer every day, both of the current candidates are likely to be losers in the fall.

There's still a mechanism in place to change that, though....
