Clinton No Friend of Working Class - Quin Hillyer , American Spectator

One of the more bizarre developments of this campaign season has been to see Hillary Clinton, of all people, turned into an electoral favorite of blue-collar white voters. The reality is that very few people in politics have more contempt for white workers than does this product of Park Ridge, Wellesley, the Senate Watergate Committee, and the super powered Rose Law Firm.

This is the woman who, according to three, independent, respected, credible witnesses, at least one of them a strong Clinton supporter, responded to Southern whites workers voting Republican in 1994 by telling her husband: "Screw 'em. You don't owe them a thing, Bill. They're doing nothing for you; you don't have to do anything for them."

Lesson: The Clintons are for the Clintons, and only for the Clintons. They will abandon any voter group the moment such abandonment can gain them an advantage. The Hillary Clinton who is suddenly the champion of white laborers today can just as easily be saying "screw 'em" again tomorrow.

Their votes for her are votes against their own interests and values.

Yup and that is what has thrown this race off track. Obama has taken much of their assumed base. I have always felt you should do what wealthy smart people do because they have figured it out. It scares me when a candidate is running strong with the people who haven't figured success out? That includes both of them. At least Bill has the wealthy intellect on his side. How does that make the typical Clinton feel? Would bother me knowing that most people who are successful think differently then me. I measure success by education and wealth and that crowd is in the Obama camp. Yes, no?
