Since this issue can't be construed as "racial", I'm allowed to comment, am I not? And if this has already be diaried, I couldn't find it.
Once again, the win-at-all-cost campaign is doing their best spin on their efforts to dis-enfranchise possible voters, as long as those voters might not cast their votes for the Clintons. Instead of denouncing the lawsuit as many Kossacks have asked Hilary to do, we have instead the Big Dog defending it! Yes, stating that everyone should play be the same rules. What hypocracy. When did the Clintons ever play by the rules?
Every time the Clintons come out on an issue, they're on the wrong side!
Here's Chris Bower's story about BC's statement as found on OpenLeft:
Bill Clinton today defended a state NEA-backed lawsuit over caucus sites, saying that all Democrats should play by the same rules.
Clinton was asked about the suit this morning by a student at Green Valley High School, located in the Las Vegas suburb of Henderson. He said that, in essence, state Democrats made "a special rule only for" members of the Culinary union, the most powerful in the state, to be able to caucus at their work sites rather than at their home precincts. "I think the rules oughta be the same for everybody," he said. "I question why you would ever have a temporary caucus site and say only the people that work there -- i.e. the people that we know are going to vote in a certain way or we think they will -- should be able to caucus here. I think that we oughta make it more possible for everybody to vote."
(Of course, we'll ask again: If the Culinary Workers had endorsed Hillary, would there even be a lawsuit? And if so, would Bill be defending it?)
Ugh. Once again, I'll just wonder why there is such a big hub-ub about these at-large precincts now, several months after they were first instituted. I'll also wonder what defending this lawsuit will do to Democratic attempts to prevent Republicans from suppressing voters in the general election. Doesn't anyone remember that this is why Bush is in the White House at all? Gross.
Gross is an understatement. I can't believe this guy was ever elected to dog-catcher. I guess I have one thing to be thankful about. GWB and Rove have opened my eyes to political shenanigans like those now being employed by the Clintons
