Bill Clinton

The lawsuit that prompted this tongue-lashing from the former president has since been dismissed, but on the ground in Nevada, tensions remain high over the effort to keep casino workers from caucusing.

I’m still waiting for Bill’s definition of the word “IS”. Does anyone think it’s coming anytime soon?

Clintoon’s - please just go the f**k away already.

If you check the rules for the caucusing, you find a small difference in the number of voters represented by a delegate chosen in a local caucus versus one chosen in an at-large caucus. Clinton spoke with vehemence about a vote in a casino counting as much as five votes in a precinct. A plain lie.

Yep to this. Everyone DOES know that there’s none of this ‘exerting’ one’s right’s on the job.

Any attempt to do such, will quickly leave one ‘jobless’.

Its been a decade and close to the anniversary date since Bill under oath denied having stained Monica’s blue dress on a number of occasions.. A man used to a daily menu of cheeseburgers and a side order of fries cause mama has no time to or does not know how to cook on top of being a stingy paramour needs to be excused for being intemperate especially on anniversary dates that make up unforgetable memories.

Clinton sounded like he was losing his voice so he really was not yelling at the guy.  The reports of the incident didn’t match the film.  It was hardly a “tongue lashing”.

LOL! This old rascal has really come unhigned in the last few days of this campaign. I remember when Bill was the cool. Now, he’s just another old wife-beaten curmudgeonly coot behaving very badly. All this for an old cougar his nearly incessant infidelity told us he absolutely couldn’t stand! He’s either hungry to return to his old Office, or he seriously needs Hill outta that house for some fun too long delayed.

Every day for years to come we’re gonna get to watch Bill & Hillary act like Bush.  Does anybody believe Jeb won’t be next if they come back?  And, the person with 16 years of experience in the White House can follow him… Chelsea in ‘24!

Hillary will be ready on the first day to do whatever it takes to get reelected.  More welfare reform, anyone?

Caucusing is Okey by Bill and Hill if the result is in Hill’s favor. Any other caucusing format is subject to review to determine whether its legal or not… you all know like defining legally what “is” or isn’t.

Come on folks. Its Hill’s divine right to be President. Besides she promised to let bygones be bygones and that I could have that closet room and desk again once she gets in. Besides you all owe us caucus vote or no vote.

Well let’s just backtrack here a minute.  Given the bullshit circumstances SOME employers enforce on their staff, one can only assume this is suspect.  Why is it that the WORKING PEOPLE are being so disenfranchised, and they are being disenfranchised, AND NOT JUST IN VEGAS.

Voting.... NO MATTER WHAT FOR, is a right. 

What’s this “run on your lunch-break” bullshit.  Everyone “knows” that your employer might just have “issues” and “concerns” about your work ethic if you exert your “rights”.

As far as Bill’s issues ......call Tyson, you corporate cretin.

That lawsuit--a bad decision by the teachers union IMO--was about the fact that culinary union workers got to caucus at their place of work, an advantage others weren’t granted.  They would still be allowed to caucus if the lawsuit had succeeded, so it is false to say they would’ve been denied that right.
