Bill Clinton tells Arkansans: Don't protest Obama in midterm vote
CBS News ^ | October 6, 2014

CONWAY, Ark. - Former President Bill Clinton urged voters in his home state Monday not to use the midterm election as a protest against the White House, as he toured the state to help Democrats' efforts to prevent a GOP takeover in Arkansas.

Clinton kicked off a series of rallies in Arkansas on Monday, praising Democratic candidates in close races for U.S. Senate, House and governor as people willing to work with both parties for the good of the state. He also criticized Republicans' efforts to tie Democrats to President Barack Obama, who lost Arkansas in the 2008 and 2012 presidential elections and remains deeply unpopular in the state.

"They want you to make this a protest vote," Clinton told a crowd gathered at the University of Central Arkansas campus. "All three of these races, they're saying 'you may like these guys, but hey, you know what you've got to do. You've got to vote against the president. After all, it's your last shot.'"(continued)

His heart isn’t in it. He’ll never get over the obamites putting the race card on him in 2008.

Don’t people have a mind of their own?

Why do these hack politicians and actors tell everyone what to do, what to think and why do they listen to them?

It's never been his heart he wanted to put in it.

The midterm vote has become one of the few protest opportunities short of getting out the torches, pitchforks, tar and feathers. A responsible democrat senator or congressman would have tried to discipline a usurper president long before now.

It’s sad that some people need a slug like Slick Willie to tell them who to vote for. It must be miserable being a low information ‘RAT voter who doesn’t have the ability to think for yourself.

He’s practically telling them TO make it a referendum on Obama. The more they say “Don’t make it national” the more people are going to think about that and probably do it. People are not dummies. The deluded base, of course, is mentally ill and will never recover short of LSD.

It’s too late for THAT nonsense. Instead, let’s hope that Arkansas can live up to it’s own state motto: “The People Rule”.

He may have just planted the seed in some voters minds.

If you don’t do it now, you won’t get the chance Arkansas. Like Slick Willie gives a damn about you, he and his wife moved to NY after 2000.

This midterm vote is the only avenue for people to express themselves, whether they express their displeasure or their agreement with the policies of the administration.

The democrats have and always will support the agenda of obama, this short term separation is a canard, designed to deceive, Clinton is now and always has been a master at deception, all liberals/communists by virtue of their ideology, and by its design, are naturally susceptible to smoke and mirror deception, even when it hits them hard in the teeth, they conform like good little communists.

The core attraction of liberalism is that someone else does your thinking for you because thinking is very hard
