1. McAwful was the first to go med-less.

4. Terry 'Hillary would've won in 2000 and 2004 by 10%' McAuliffe can go EFF himself.
The Dem party is sick of being screwed by him and his self-serving gang.

6. He's definitely not an agent of change, and
he's definitely an agent of Hillary Clinton.

8. What a strange way for him to phrase it!
"And there are $35 million worth of people who have skipped dinners, who have not taken medications, who have written us e-mails, so that they can be part of this campaign."

Why would people behave this way? Deny themselves food and medication for their chosen one?

It's almost...cultlike. :wow:

10. I like the way I edited it better than the way he said it.
But I guess he gets the final say.

13. Especially knowing that Bill banked 20 million recently from the same Dubai royalty
he protected along with Poppy Bush and Jackson Stephens when he deep-sixed BCCI matters throughout the 90s.

Supporters scrape up their medication money for Clintons to use to pay union-busting, Blackwater propagandist Mark Penn while Bill's lining his bank accounts by the millions with Dubai money.

16. Here cali---is the full sentense. It is not the mock that OP makes it to be:

"I know a lot of people have been giving Hillary advice on what she should do," said National Chairman Terry McAuliffe during a conference call with the campaign's finance committee. "Let's make this clear. What Hillary's going to do is win the nomination. And there are $35 million worth of people who have skipped dinners, who have not taken medications, who have written us e-mails, so that they can be part of this campaign."

19. Wow, the whole "sentense" makes Hillary supporters seem cultish.
I know I've never skipped a meal for Obama.

I guess they misunderestimated the Obama campaign ;-)

17. READ THE FULL SENTENCE PLEASE--OP IS MISLEADING AT BEST:

"Let's make this clear. What Hillary's going to do is win the nomination. And there are $35 million worth of people who have skipped dinners, who have not taken medications, who have written us e-mails, so that they can be part of this campaign."

21. I heard that clown say that this morning ~ isn't she
the "Health Care for All" person?

Since many of her supporters are Seniors and female, that was a big time blunder.

Oh, and I thought she has more people that are "Middle America" and would be hurt tremendously if they did not take their meds.

He gets paid big bucks so I'm sure he wasn't thinking about the pain for those that are donating.

29. Sheesh, can you imagine skipping your meals and meds just to give to Hillary
Sure hope they don't kill over or find themselves hospitalized. Just for giving money to a candidate and deciding not to take their meds that could be life threatening, and therefore maybe unable to vote, because they found themselves hospitalized. I find it very disturbing to hear that the elderly are giving money that should be going to their health prevention.

I would be very upset if I knew my loved one was skipping meals or not buying their meds just to give to a candidate. And I don't care which candidate it was, so sad.

would have spent on their medications to support Hillary Clinton as a good thing, he should be ashamed of himself. It shows he does not understand anything (which I already knew, but still).
