Hillary Clinton Really Won Democratic Nomination 2008
Hillary Clinton Won the Democratic Nomination for President in 2008
It began in Iowa, with a victory by Illinois Senator Barack Obama. The nomination race heated up with a victory in New Hampshire by New York Senator and Former First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton. The race would continue on until the final primaries in June of 2008 were finished. Hillary Clinton lost the delegate count by 333 votes, 127 of which were pledged, and lost the popular vote by 0.1%…Officially….What if I were to tell you everything I just said was a lie? Guess what? All what I just told you is the largest political scheme in American history.
A caucus is a pep rally, where voters come out and sit in their candidate’s section while representatives from the other campaigns try to convince voters to change sections. At the end of the caucus, the candidate with the most people in their section wins. Simple? Yes. Easy to manipulate? Yes. Caucus states made up 1.1 million (3%) of Democratic votes, but selected 626 (15%) of the delegates. Caucuses states made up most of the fraud during the nomination race. Obama supporters at the caucuses stole caucus sign-in sheets with Hillary voters, undercounted Hillary voters, locked Hillary voters out of the caucus, and threatened physical violence on eight-year old female would-be Hillary voters. While Pro-Obama caucus and primary runners mysteriously did not find registered Hillary Democratic voters on the sign-in sheets, but allowed illegible voters, including the underage Gary Public Schools students who were forced by the district to go vote for Obama, into the either the caucus or primary. One major instance was Texas. Hillary Clinton defeated Barack Obama by almost 4% in the Texas Primary; while, the same day, she lost the caucus by almost 13%. Does that make sense? No. Want to know how this happened? It happened all on the local precinct level. On just one half page of a Texas caucus sign-in sheet, with six votes on it, it has 4 Obama and 2 Clinton. On just one half page, there are 2 illegal Obama votes, making that page a tie with two votes for Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. And on another caucus sign-in sheet, out of the 14 illegal votes on it, 13 were for Barack Obama. And while it may not sound like much, the results from the precincts add up into a 13% victory by Barack Obama over Hillary Clinton in the caucus the same day that Hillary Clinton defeated Obama by 4% in the primary.
Based on estimates of the known fraud, it is estimated that two million votes were suppressed during the Democratic Presidential Nomination race. Hillary Clinton lost to Barack Obama by just 41,622 votes. Based on the actions of Pro-Obama mainly caucus leaders, but also primaries, and on the actions of Obama supporters, you can bet almost all of the suppressed votes were for Hillary Clinton. But even assuming just half of the suppressed votes were for Hillary; she would have defeated Obama 53-47%.
But the presidency isn’t decided on popular vote, remember Bush and Gore in 2000? The presidency is decided on electoral votes, and the Democratic nomination is decided on delegates. Just as Florida prohibited Gore from becoming president, it prevented, with Michigan, Hillary Clinton from becoming president. In early 2008, the states of Florida and Michigan defied the Democratic Party and held their primaries early in order to get more influence in the race. The Party stripped the states of their delegates and Obama dropped his name from the ballot in Michigan. Hillary won both states and called for the delegates to be seated, citing both states are crucial for the general election. Obama offered a compromise, requesting a caucus to be held in both states. You know why he wanted a caucus, right? The Party reached a compromise in June of 2008. All delegates were restored, but they each received half a vote. Hillary received 59 votes from Michigan and Obama received 49, even though his name wasn’t on the ballot. In Florida, Hillary defeated Obama by 17%, but they had to split the delegates evenly. Hillary Clinton really won 71 delegates from Michigan and 105 from Michigan. If the Democratic National Committee would have abided by what the Party decided and went by democracy, Hillary Clinton would have defeated Barack Obama by 22 pledged delegates.
Knowing she had been cheated, but working for a higher good by getting a Democrat elected, Hillary Clinton conceded and campaigned for Barack Obama. Seeing her power in the Senate being stripped from her, she accepted the job as Secretary of State later on in 2008 after Obama offered it to her. Over the past two years, the public has been moving from Obama to Hillary. Earlier this year, she became the most popular politician in the country, with approval ratings in the high 60s% by CNN. Currently, the most popular politician in the country is Bill Clinton, according to Politico. At the latest poll by NPR, Obama is tied with George W. Bush for popularity.
Fraud, deception, violence, deliberate miscalculations, and the Chicago machine defeated Hillary Clinton illegally and installed an ill prepared, hot head Chicago politician as our president. And while the talk is of late to make her the Vice President nominee in 2012, most people, including myself, believe she should replace Barack Obama in 2012. Our country has gone through very tough economic times since Obama took office…you know why? Because only a Clinton can clean up a Bush’s mess.
