Hillary Question Plant

The college student who was told what question to ask at one of New York Sen. Hillary Clinton's campaign events says "voters have the right to know what happened" and she wasn't the only one who was planted.

In an exclusive on-camera interview with CNN, Muriel Gallo-Chasanoff, a 19-year-old sophomore at Grinnell College in Grinnell, Iowa, said that giving anyone specific questions to ask is "dishonest," and the whole incident has given her a negative outlook on politics.

Hillary Clinton claimed she had no knowledge that her aides planted the question.

Read Gallo-Chasanoff's interview with her college newspaper about the Clinton campaigns question plant.

Read about how Clinton's Senate campaign planted a question in 1999.

"Here is some good news for Hillary that Obamapost woud not want you to know:

Congressman Frank backs Clinton
US Representative Barney Frank is endorsing Hillary Clinton for president and will be an economic adviser to her campaign, it announced this afternoon.­"

Sorry Centauri this is hardly a suprise.
Rep. Frank's sister is ANN LEWIS, a Senior Advisor to Hillary's Campaign & former Advisor to Bill Clinton. Ms. Lewis would likely have a cabinet post in a HRC Administration if she wanted one. Rep. Frank is just putting his personal interests ahead of the country, big shock there!

I've been thinking about the Bill of Rights a lot recently, and the thought came to me, that the Bill of Rights isn't about MY rights, it's about my right for my NEIGHBOR to have THEIR RIGHTS.

I have a flippant question for ALL the candidates.

Q: Listening to Alex Jones, the "country worldview" is guns, gold, and patriotism.

How can the message of Democrats resonate with the trepidations of an encroaching privatized military-i­ndustrial-­security-p­oliceg complex, global finance, and global trade?

Bless her heart, it looks as though she’s learned a few things about politics and how to win too! This is a dream come true for all of us who knew the day would come when we all could say “turnaround is fair play.” Or was it "all’s fair in love and war?"

I think those were good questions. It's her answers and her voting record that I have the most problem with - on just about all important issues.

I like Kucinich's answers - brief and straight. For example, watch this:

I am asking this, since I have read repeatedly about Hillary having flubbed her vote on Iraq and being chastised for not apologizing for it. My question is this: Have those of you who think she fumbled her vote read her speech from that day? http://clinton.senate.gov/speeches/iraq_101002.html

The members of Congress were lied to and shown cherry picked intelligence, as all americans were. The votes the members of Congress cast for the resolution were based on false intelligence, threats of mushroom clouds and yellow cake as told to them by the POTUS, following an attack on our country. Hillary clearly states in her speech her reasons for the vote. She also says that she "takes the President at his word that he will try hard to pass a UN resolution and will seek to avoid war...." Congress, and Hillary were duped just like the rest of you.

In 2003, 75% of US supported going into Iraq. Let's not forget, 77 out of 100 senators voted for the resolution. Ally Leaders joined, after being sold the same lies. Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld repeatedly tied the 9/11 attack to Saddam and told the world, "Either you are with us, or you are the terrorists­."

Americans wanted revenge, "Saddam attacked us", and they were now proud flag flying americans ready to go "get the bastards!". So they went to the mall, ordered their "Freedom Fries", slapped a ribbon magnet on their SUVs and gave Bush their unfailing support. Anyone who dared to speak out against the war were deemed anti-patriotic, and anti-troop.

So, I ask, why should she apologize? Why was her vote fumbled? Did she not do the right thing, based on all the "evidence" she was given? She must have, because 75% of the country supported the Iraq invasion. I think her only mistake was taking the President at his word. So, I do not believe that it is Hillary that should apologize. Americans are owed the apology (and where is France's apology? Freedoms fries....t­hat was so retarded.)

Here is some good news for Hillary that Obamapost woud not want you to know:

Congressman Frank backs Clinton
US Representative Barney Frank is endorsing Hillary Clinton for president and will be an economic adviser to her campaign, it announced this afternoon.

"I have from the beginning of this campaign believed that Hillary Clinton was the candidate best qualified to serve as President," Frank said in a statement issued by the Clinton campaign. "I am convinced that once elected, the qualities she will bring to the job -- commitment, intellect, and political skills -- will make her an extremely effective leader in our effort to reverse the badly flawed course on which George Bush and past Republican Congresses have set this country."

Frank rose to the leadership of the House Financial Services Committee after Democrats wrested control of Congress last November.

He is the latest prominent Massachusetts politician to cast his or her lot in the Democratic nomination fight. Barack Obama, for instance, has the support of Governor Deval Patrick, who campaigned for him in New Hampshire this past weekend

No gun pointed at anyone's head. If it was you or I; wouldn't you at least spin your 'material' to fit your own agenda?

Yep...I KNOW though; no excuse.

Sadly, as should be reflexive thinking by now, the very Essense of the type of Power which draws people (good/bad/in between) into Politics is inherently ego driven. Difficult for human nature to resist. "Nature of Politics."


Hilsterat minimum, HAS a chance. 'Political power trip' aside, her administration would be somewhat more tolerent to gays, perhaps a little more giving to vets, those hurting, medical needs, etc.

You tell me? Divide the (thanks Nader) vote again, and LET the cult driven, testerone powered-self righteous-­holy-MINOR­ITY dig that hole even deeper?!?

What the heck ever happened to "fifteen minutes of fame". Pretty soon I expect this young woman to get a book deal.

A fake question to a fake canidate. Hillary Clinton will say anything to get elected. Ron Paul and Kucinich are the only 'real' canidates. I'm not going to vote for the lesser of two evils again.

This is the problem with the U.S. today. Too many people follow and support their party blindly to the detriment of this nation. Instead of looking at the individual merits of each candidate and voting on who would do a better job, a lot of people just pull that "All Democrat" or "All Republican" lever on voting day. Even the candidates do the same thing. They blindly follow what their party says is important instead of voicing their own opinion on what they believe in. Candidates end up trying to kiss as much butt as possible and cater to the extreme sides of each party instead of catering to the middle and moderate voters.

This is why I'm pushing Bloomberg. He used to be a Democrat and quit the party to become a Republican. He has now quit the Republican party and is now an Independent. He even said that partisanship is destroying this country and that's why he's now running as an Independent.

Another bash Hillary story.

The reason: Hillary is the strongest candidate. The republicans would love to run against Obama and they know Hillary will clean their clocks.

I used to go to the Huffington Post 3x a day-now I go once a week-- the anti-Hillary hatred is too much--they are as negative to Hillary as the New York Post is here is NYC. It just wears me out--it's so darn predictable--the lousy phots of Hillary--
This "scandal" is the new porn but I don't get off on it--
John Edwards' attacks on Hillary are so misogynist­ic--what's your problem John? Okay John you're very angry because your wife may die soon--I'm very sorry for this--but for heaven's sake--don't take it out on Senator Clinton--
