Clinton People are Bushian Liars

I can not believe the rhetoric that I am hearing out of the Clinton camp these days.

It reminds me of the kind of crap that comes out of the Bush White House. It really does.
They make arguments that are so obviously partisan and unfair and hope that people don't care about facts since they are just supporting the candidate anyway. Its bullshit. Plain and simple.

Hilary Rosen comes on Hardball today and actually argues that there is some kind of moral equivalence to the Florida/Michigan debate, and the debate over super delegates.

I've seldom heard more self serving fact-ignoring crap out of anyone outside of the Bush administration.

1) Florida and Michigan were ruled by the DNC to have their delegates revoked. This is a fact.

2) The candidates agreed not to campaign in these states and agreed that they would not count.

3) Hillary gets behind, wins the false contests, and wants to change the rules.

Simple as simple gets.

Now, lets look at the super delegate debate.

The Obama campaign has never advocated changing the rules. They have never said the the delegates should 'have' to do anything. They were merely outlining the possible political backlash (which should be obvious to everyone) if they overturn the will of the primary voters. This is just a statement of fact.

The Hillary campaign is a dishonest group of spinning liars.

That being said, I do remember Obama saying that if McCain was nominated that he would take public funding if McCain did. I think that he should honor this commitment. It would not handicap him substantially and would make the race more interesting.
