Clinton Attacks Obama In S.C. Radio Spot For Praising GOP
Hillary Clinton attacks Barack Obama in a new radio ad in S.C. for his remark that the GOP was the party of ideas for several years. Echoes attacks made by HRC and her husband over the last week, most prominently by HRC during Monday's contentious debate in Myrtle Beach.
A Clinton spokesman has not responded to an email about the ad, which was forwarded to reporters by Obama's campaign.
Script:
VO: “Listen to Barack Obama last week talking about Republicans.
BO: “The Republicans were the party of ideas for a pretty long chunk of time there over the last 10, 15 years.”
VO: “Really? Aren’t those the ideas that got us into the economic mess we’re in today? Ideas like special tax breaks for Wall Street. Running up a $9 trillion debt. Refusing to raise the minimum wage or deal with the housing crisis. Are those the ideas Barack Obama’s talking about?”
BO: “The Republicans were the party of ideas.”
VO: Hillary Clinton thinks this election is about replacing disastrous Republican ideas with new ones, like jumpstarting the economy. Putting an immediate freeze on foreclosures and mortgages. Cutting taxes for the middle class. and creating millions of new jobs. With the economy in crisis, we need a president with the ideas, the solutions that get our economy working for all of us. Hillary Clinton. Solutions for America.

If she thinks the party will unite after the way she has conducted this campaign, she will be sadly mistaken . . . to the detriment of us all.

Obama needs to find a message. He speaks change but doesn't say how it will come about. He just says I get you the information on his plans, why don't he know what they are. Interesting to me, some of my Illinois friends say he has done nothing for the state, never helped women or children.
If he wins the nomination many of us will vote the other way just as others claim they will if Hillary wins. Remember things work both ways. If he can't handle the heat he is receiving now what will he do when the republicans get a hold of him.

You act as if Hilary is running on her plans. Look at her ads. Instead of arguing why she is the best candidate, she is arguing why he is not. She is hoping to win by negativity alone, and you follow her blindly even though she doesn't talk about her plans at all either.
Latest polls say 67% believe she will say or do anything to get elected. The remaining 33% are the democrats who will condemn us to losing in November.
It is as if some of you WANT evil politics. Why should anyone have to "take the heat?" Shouldn't elections be about ideals? What has happened to my country?

No shame. What's the point of a democracy if people don't tell the truth? I've voted virtually straight ticket Democrats all my life, but I'll be casting my ballot for someone else if Hillary is the nominee.

A yellow dawg democrat who will now never vote for Hillary . I hope that white voters in California and New York can see the Clintons for what they are and vote for Obama.

HRC - the epitomy of intellectual dishonesty. Can you imagine 8 years of this stuff under "their" regime. HRC is guaranteed to lose at least 30 states and probably the House and Senate before she even gets through the doors of the White House.
