Played
New Hampshire – or at least one of their leading newspapers – just figured out something. Hillary Clinton lies.
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.
The editorial concludes that New Hampshire voters were played for suckers.
Well, yeah. That is what the Clintons do, folks. They have been getting away with it for years now. And some – heck, many – people who know they are being played continue to allow it. Kind of sad when you think of it. Anyway, further thoughts (universally negative toward Clinton ones) from Captain's Quarters, The Opinionator, Comments from Left Field, Hot Air, The American Mind, Political Machine, The Field, UrbanGrounds and The Nation, via Memeorandum.

This is the same mentality that would ask for a “do over” if their team lost by 1 point.
Liberals are un-American and they are a cancer on our nation.

Hmm…the media is basically calling anyone who votes for Clinton retarded. How’s that any different from anything else the last couple of months?

FYI, that particular newspaper has been onto the Clintons for years. They’re just pointing this out as a public service.
