NH Paper: Hillary lied on Florida

From the Union Leader editorial board: COURTING VOTERS in Iowa and New Hampshire, last August Sen. Hillary Clinton signed a pledge not to "campaign or participate" in the Michigan or Florida Democratic primaries. She participated in both primaries and is campaigning in Florida. Which proves, again, that Hillary Clinton is a liar....

"Clinton kept her name on the Michigan ballot when others removed theirs, she campaigned this past weekend in Florida, and she is pushing to seat Michigan and Florida delegates at the Democratic National Convention. The party stripped those states of delegates as punishment for moving up their primary dates.

"I will try to persuade my delegates to seat the delegates from Michigan and Florida," Clinton said last week, after the New Hampshire primaries and Iowa caucuses were safely over.

"Clinton coldly and knowingly lied to New Hampshire and Iowa. Her promise was not a vague statement. It was a signed pledge with a clear and unequivocal meaning.

"She signed it thinking that keeping the other candidates out of Michigan and Florida was to her advantage, but knowing she would break it if that proved beneficial later on. It did, and she did.

New Hampshire voters, you were played for suckers.

She's always been a liar this is not new!

Hillary is not a liar -- it just depends on what your definition of "is" is. For the Clinton Mafia, their definition of "is" is: "we will say and do whatever the f*#k we want, so shut your f*#king pie hole."
Senator Bob Kerrey had it right years ago, "the Clintons are unusually good liars."

Hillary lies.
I just love seeing that in print.
Hillary lies.
Everybody in the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy knows it, and the rest of America just refuses to admit it.
Hillary lies.
Just like her husband.
Hillary lies.
Please do not send these Hill-Billies back to the White House. Eight years was TOO MUCH of them.

Hillary agreed that Florida wouldn't count when it would benefit her standing in Iowa and N.H. As soon as they were done she reverted to form and tonight tried to turn no contest into a victory. If a person is smiling when they lie to you that still makes it a lie.

Seems more and more like Bill (not in the good way) every single day. Hello, President Obama.

Crap, now it's open season on political ads in this state. I really enjoyed not seeing Billery and Bambam these past few months.

Of course Billery wants to seat delegates now that she won. Of course because the DNC stripped delegates few voted screwing up this election either way. Kind of like how the media tried to screw it up by declaring a winner when the panhandle hadn't voted.
