It is the vast right wing conspiracies fault for pointing out that her campaign lists contributors that say they never made a donation to her.
All three locations, along with scores of others scattered throughout some of the poorest Chinese neighborhoods in Queens, Brooklyn and the Bronx, have been swept by an extraordinary impulse to shower money on one particular presidential candidate -- Democratic front-runner Hillary Rodham Clinton.
Dishwashers, waiters and others whose jobs and dilapidated home addresses seem to make them unpromising targets for political fundraisers are pouring $1,000 and $2,000 contributions into Clinton's campaign treasury.
[...]
In one instance, Clinton campaign alleged Yi Min Liu had made a donation of $1,000 however he said he only attended a banquet but made no donation.
It is her opponents fault for pointing out that she refuses to take a stand and she is a panderer, even though it is her own actions that show her to be a panderer that will say whatever her particular "audience" for that day wants to hear, then change her position when in front of another "audience".
Edwards: For children? To try to protect children -- using technology to protect children, I would.I want to add something that Chris Dodd just said a minute ago, because I don't want it to go unnoticed. Unless I missed something, Senator Clinton said two different things in the course of about two minutes just a few minutes ago.
And I think this is a real issue for the country. I mean, America is looking for a president who will say the same thing, who will be consistent, who will be straight with them. Because what we've had for seven years is double-talk from Bush and from Cheney, and I think America deserves us to be straight.
Williams: Senator Obama, why are you nodding your head?
Obama: Well, I was confused on Senator Clinton's answer. I can't tell whether she was for it or against it. And I do think that is important. One of the things that we have to do in this country is to be honest about the challenges that we face.
Immigration is a difficult issue. But part of leadership is not just looking backwards and seeing what's popular or trying to gauge popular sentiment. It's about setting a direction for the country. And that's what I intend to do as president.
It is her enemies fault that she is being called out in Paul VS Clinton for her own deliberate lies.
In the following timeline, we will see apparent evidence of Hillary Clinton’s Senate campaign understating over $750,000 in contributions to her 2000 Senate campaign, from one Peter Paul.
Hillary’s campaign initially denied even knowing Peter Paul, and then later, admitted meeting him but never had a conversation regarding his contribution to her campaign.Hillary Clinton will finally be under oath in the historic civil suit, Paul v Clinton in Los Angeles Superior Court. Voters are going to see the details of the greatest campaign finance fraud in history and the Clinton role in the collapse of Stan Lee Media.
It is the medias fault for digging and finding out that one of her major contributors was a fugitive and was committing campaign finance crimes that benefited her campaigns, and the media is also responsible for the fact that Hillary Clinton's campaign ignored the warnings given to them about Norman Hsu.
WASHINGTON - Hillary Clinton's campaign couldn't explain yesterday why it blew off warnings about felon-turned-fund-raiser Norman Hsu - and the Daily News learned FBI agents are collecting e-mail evidence in the widening scandal.
Clinton was forced Monday to give back a whopping $850,000 raised by convicted scam artist Hsu after learning his investment ventures were being probed by the FBI as a potential Ponzi scheme.
She earlier gave to charity $23,000 Hsu donated himself after reports revealed he fled sentencing for a $1 million scam in California in 1992.
Yesterday, the campaign insisted it did all it should to vet Hsu after California businessman Jack Cassidy warned in June that Hsu's investment operation was fishy. Cassidy e-mailed his tips to the California Democratic Party, which forwarded them to the Clinton campaign.
It is the President's fault that, we the people, stood up as one, for different reasons, and blew the bad immigration reform right out of the water with our phone calls, faxes, letters and emails, making it clear to our representatives that we will not tolerate granting amnesty to illegal aliens.
But the legislation sparked a furious rebellion among many Republican and even some Democratic voters, who were linked by the Internet and encouraged by radio talk show hosts. Their outrage and activism surged to full force after Senator Jon Kyl, the Arizona Republican who was an author of the bill, suggested early this week that support for the measure seemed to be growing. The assault on lawmakers in Washington was relentless. In a crucial vote Thursday night, the bill’s supporters, including President Bush, fell short by 15 votes. While there is a possibility the legislation could be revived later this year, there was a glow of victory among opponents on Friday.
Today, it is Tim Russert's fault for asking her direct questions at the Democratic presidential debate and actually expecting her to give a straight answer.
HOW DARE HE????????????
Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton’s (D-N.Y.) top advisers, doing damage control after the candidate’s debate performance Tuesday, told supporters on a conference call Wednesday that the campaign needed more money to fight back.
Mark Penn, Clinton’s senior strategist and pollster, and Jonathan Mantz, the campaign’s finance director, told the supporters on the call, which The Hill listened to in its entirety, that they expect attacks from Clinton’s rivals to continue, and she will need the financial resources to deflect their attacks.
Clinton came under withering assault in the Philadelphia debate, and some supporters on the call agreed with analysts that she stumbled.
[...]
He, Mantz and several supporters hinted repeatedly on the call that Clinton was unfairly targeted by Tim Russert, debate moderator and host of NBC’s “Meet the Press.”
[...]
The object of the call, and a follow-up breakfast Thursday morning with campaign chairman and former chairman of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) Terry McAuliffe, was apparently to stop whatever bleeding the senator might have sustained during a debate in which Clinton wore a bull’s-eye on her back throughout the evening.
Penn and Mantz said “a new phase” in the campaign had begun with about 65 days to go before the Iowa caucuses. They expect Obama and Edwards to go “negative on TV, and we’re going to need the resources to fight that front.”
While one supporter voiced his concern that the Clinton campaign is not devoting enough money and staff to Iowa, lagging behind Obama, most supporters who commented on the call expressed their displeasure with what they saw as the moderators’ focus on Clinton.
One caller from Oklahoma City said that “the questions … were designed to incite a brawl,” and that Russert’s and Brian Williams’s moderating was “an abdication of journalistic responsibility.”
Another said Russert “should be shot,” before quickly adding that she shouldn’t say that on a conference call.
Never mind that the transcript and the video shows Hillary flipping, then flopping, then less than 24 hrs later doing an incredible backflip.... nope, that is also, "someone elses" fault.
I do not think her flip flopping with be her undoing, people are used to that from her, but the FEC compalint filed against her, for the reasons I listed above, might derail her when they start delving into her finances and the corruption that has been associated with her campaign.
Worse yet is, once she felt backed into a corner, after flipping, flopping and doing her little backflip, she came down on the side of giving illegal immigrants drivers licenses... a position not popular in the state of New York, where it is being proposed.
But, there is a lot of opposition. A Channel 2 News/Buffalo News Poll shows nearly 72 percent of voters in Erie County disagree with the plan. It came under fire at a committee hearing in Albany today. Erie County Clerk Kathy Hochul says she also disagrees. But, if she's made to enforce the policy, she plans to call the authorities if illegal immigrants come to apply for licenses.
"If someone comes into office and it's determined they are not here legally, we will let the authorities know, we will contact Sheriff Howard and he will send someone over to investigate," Hochul said.
So with all the opposition, what is the Governor thinking?
This is such a hot topic for New Yorkers that lawsuits have been filed against the plan, the New York Senate has blocked the plan and yet Hillary Clinton, not only stumbled on her answer, when cornered and feeling the heat from her horrible performance the night before, she stumbled even more badly in her panic and came down on the side of an issue that has overwhelming opposition.
Rensselaer County Clerk Frank J. Merola has filed a lawsuit against the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles and DMV Commissioner David Swarts seeking to prevent the State DMV from implementing the controversial illegal alien license policy that has dominated the New York State legislative and political scene the past month.
Of the state’s 62 county clerks, 30 of them—29 Republicans and one Democrat—voted earlier this month at a emergency meeting of the NYS Association of County Clerks for Democratic Governor Eliot Spitzer to scrap his plan to expand the state’s drive license program to include illegal immigrants.
The main opposition to the plan is Spitzer’s proposal to eliminate the requirement to have a Social Security number in order to obtain a driver’s license.
Merola is among 13 county clerks who say they will not process license applications for anyone who can’t prove they are a legal New York state resident.
On Monday, the New York State Senate passed legislation that would stop Governor Spitzer’s plan.
“The Governor is not listening to the people; perhaps he may listen to the courts.” Merola said. “New York residents have stated loudly and clearly that we are not in favor of giving license to illegal aliens and all we get from the Governor are lectures on how we are wrong, and that if we were as smart as he was, we would understand and support this policy. Well, 72% of New York residents, including myself and a vast majority of County Clerks are not as smart as the Governor and I am filing suit to prevent this travesty of a policy from being implemented.”
New Yorkers do not forget and neither do the rest of Americans when it comes to offering our rights as American citizens to illegal aliens that have broken our laws.
The problem with Hillary Clinton is to this point she has been allowed to beat around the bush on issues, has never been forced to take a stand and now that she has, she has fumbled so badly she has allowed herself to land on the opposite side of the majority.
Finally, people are starting to see what she does believe and what she does stand for... something she was hoping they wouldn't discover until after the 2008 elections.
Count on more people to insist she take one position and maintain it, effectively, cornering her.
She has shown how vulnerable she really is and it is not everyone elses fault, it is her own fault because no one would have all that ammunition against her if she hadn't given it to them.
She can run around screaming "vast right wing conspiracy" all she wants, but that argument is old and her own positions show that everything that has been reported about her, is true, and that is one thing she can blame no one but herself for.
