Edwards Attacks Clinton on Questionable Contributions

2007-10-21

ABC News' Raelyn Johnson Reports: After an article in Friday's "Los Angeles Times" revealed that Clinton received large donations from poor residents living in New York City's Chinatown, the Edwards campaign pounced on the opportunity to bring more attention to the questionable contributions.

"This morning we all read in L.A. Times that many Clinton campaign contributions are raising eyebrows again. Many of their donors are not even registered to vote, and at least one denied even making any contribution at all," Edwards Campaign Manager David Bonior said in a statement on Friday.

"Senator Clinton has said public financing is the answer. Senator Edwards has opted to take public financing, but Senator Clinton has not. Senator Clinton should explain why she doesn't mean what she says...The bottom line is we need a nominee who can do two things: campaign in all 50 states and challenge our broken system in Washington. With every day the growing question has to be can Hillary Clinton do either?"

Last Sunday while campaigning in New Hampshire, Edwards sought to bring Clinton down a notch by pointing to a story "The New York Times" that explained the New York Senator's vote to declare the Iranian Revolutionary Guard a terrorist organization.

"There was a story in today's New York Times about this issue and about her vote on this issue. And some of her advisers said that she voted yes because she was moving from primary mode to general election mode. I may be wrong, and you'll have to tell me, have we already decided who's going to win the New Hampshire primary," said Edwards during a town hall meeting in Dover last week.

Seeking further distinction he added, "instead of primary mode versus general election mode, instead of saying one thing in the primary and something different for the general election, how about if we do tell the truth mode all the time. How about if we say exactly what we believe and stand by that position."

#8 I mean, the threats to our democracy don't come from Billy Boy's previous bimbos.

For the most part.

#7 So in other words she was good at being ruthless at all the wrong people. It still isn't real "toughness."

#6 the "bimbos" would disagree. When Hillary's power is threatened, I'd watch out

#5 You know what gets me? People who think Hillary's "reputation of ruthlessness" will help make the trains run on time, when she not only wasn't even able to keep her husband from being a serial adulterer, but actually wound up getting sucked into enabling the behavior herself.

That's tough ruthlessness?

#4 I, for one, encourage Johnny to continue whining, even though Hillary will still end up with Elizabeth's testicles in a jar on the mantle at the end. He's drawing attention to their corrupt past, present, and no doubt, future. I think a lot of people will get tired of it, and in the general election, remember all teh lies, BS, drama, of the Clinton co-presidency...perhaps enough will say "do I want to go through that shit again?"

#3 Oh, John, just STFU already, would ya? Hillary's going to be the Democrat nominee and there's not a damn thing you or anybody else is gonna do about it.

People expect a Clinton to be corrupt; it simply doesn't matter what Hillary does or what you say about it. She could pop somebody right in full view on the Capitol steps, and the only reaction you'd hear out of her millions of pallid, drooling, shuffling acolytes is "GO, HILLARY!!"

So give it a friggin' break, Breck Boy.

#2 "'have we already decided who's going to win the New Hampshire primary,' said Edwards"

I think we've pretty much already decided who ain't gonna win the NH primary, John-baby.

And that "who" would be you.
