KD in CA Posted September 17, 2008 Posted September 17, 2008 "Her attendance was news to us, and this was never billed to us as a partisan political event," said Clinton spokesman Philippe Reines. "Sen. Clinton will therefore not be attending." Uhhh.....that cause it's not a partisan event you nimrod. Hence the invitations to high profile guests from different parties.
finknottle Posted September 17, 2008 Posted September 17, 2008 Uhhh.....that cause it's not a partisan event you nimrod. Hence the invitations to high profile guests from different parties. I have no problem with her not attending under the circumstances. But it would have been much more effective (as well as truthfull) to say something like "This cause is of great importance to Mrs Clinton, and she doesn't want the clear message of the rally to be undermined by the media circus that would inevitably ensue." Geez - how hard is it to come up with that?

Geez - how hard is it to come up with that? Sure, if she doesn't want to go that's her prerogative, even if she is petty and juvenile. I just love that one of the standard bearers of the party that touts it's diplomatic skills is refusing to attend a public event because someone from another political party will be there. So we should be "talking to Iran", just not talking to each other, huh?
PastaJoe Posted September 17, 2008 Posted September 17, 2008 The Repugs would have spun it as, "see Hillary and Palin are there together, so Hillary women you should support Palin".
IDBillzFan Posted September 17, 2008 Posted September 17, 2008 The Repugs would have spun it as, "see Hillary and Palin are there together, so Hillary women you should support Palin". Actually, Hillary is is being a good Democrat and staying lockstep with the left's new position that women with children should now stay home and leave the heavy lifting to the men. :unsure:

TPS Posted September 17, 2008 Posted September 17, 2008 Nothing like liberals and their 'principles'. I guess this is what you meant by "circle jerk."
