Dirty Tricks in Texas: Voicemail from Obama himself sends caucus delegates to the wrong address

Texas caucus delegates for Hillary Clinton say the Obama campaign is up to dirty tricks in that state. Kim Frederick, who has listed her presidential choice as Hillary Clinton, claims she and her roommate received voicemails from Obama himself. When her roommate talked to them, says Frederick, they were misleading and laughing. Some of their friends even got calls telling them their caucus was moved, says Frederick.

Frederick was upset about the way they treated her roommate on the phone, so when she returned her call from Obama, she recorded the conversation and has now posted it to YouTube. In the video, first the Obama representative tries to explain the phone calls as a mix up in the voting lists. But when Frederick confronts him with the accusation that Obama is calling elderly people and getting them confused, his answer seems to be “you people are doing the same thing to our delgates…click..”

Several commenters echo the stories about dirty tricks from the Obama campaign reminiscent of the 2004 Republican voter fraud in Ohio documented by the Conyers report:

Says edreggi:

I was in Texas and Obama’s camp didn’t even set up an office where I was at, yet when I called Hillary supporters they told me they were getting mixed messages from the Democratic Party. Funny how the Obama camp sent their people to the local Democrat Party offices to do their dirty work and confuse Texas voters.

Trust me, I was making lots of visits and calls to the elderly and they were confused – nothing disrespectful to say that! Obama knows the Caucus is the way he will win.

Says ridriguez:

Obama people, they are calling from this number 713-522-7600, they left a message saying to go to Senate District convention Center. George Brown Convention Center but it is wrong . SD13 suppose to go to TSU. they left the message on the answering machine, they are misleading Hillary Clinton Delegates,The Democratic Party has to do something. This Obama people are playing with the Rules. Stop that.

Says vanessaboy

Man the Obama campaign used the race card to the full tilt here in Fort Worth. They accused me of calling him and his supporters the ‘N’ word when I was taking a call from a precinct worker reporting fraud being perpetrated by Obama campaign volunteers. I can tell you here in Fort Worth, that shit didn’t fly because I went so far as to call the cops when they tried to intimidate me and my Dad at a polling place.

New politics my ass. This ain’t Chicago.

Says 5028w87:

I traveled from Kansas to Texas to work for Hillary. The early caucuses were a mess. There was so much bullying by Obama people it was unbelievable. We had a lawyer in our office taking down the complaints in Gregg County. It was an overwhelming mess for the lawyer. Glad to see Hillary is winning round 2 in a big way.

And finally this provocative glimpse from Pondarama:

Obama’s number’s stay high because it appears that we are blind and stupid. And becasue they have an army out there squelching the truth. Remove the negative comments then close down the comment section. Trust the video and let people see and hear for themselves and decide what happened. Do not let these paid conspirators negate what a sleezy underground campaign he is waging.
Beware! These are professional Obamanators! Close down the comments and let the video speak for itself. Good luck!

New Maya Angelou poem for Hillary

Everyone remembers the poem Maya Angelou wrote for the Clinton inauguration, and some even remember the poem Robert Frost, the only other inaugural poet, wrote for the Kennedy inaguration.

Angelou is said to have written the Clinton poem with the help of a glass of sherry, a dictionary, Roget’s Thesaurus and the Bible, by starting at 5:30 every morning.

Now the Clinton poet has written a new poem for a new Clinton:

State Package for Hillary Clinton

You may write me down in history

With your bitter, twisted lies,

You may tread me in the very dirt

But still, like dust, I’ll rise.

This is not the first time you have seen Hillary Clinton seemingly at her wits’ end, but she has always risen, always risen, don’t forget she has always risen, much to the dismay of her adversaries and the delight of her friends.

Hillary Clinton will not give up on you and all she asks of you is that you do not give up on her.

There is a world of difference between being a woman and being an old female. If you’re born a girl, grow up, and live long enough, you can become an old female. But to become a woman is a serious matter. A woman takes responsibility for the time she takes up and the space she occupies. Hillary Clinton is a woman. She has been there and done that and has still risen. She is in this race for the long haul. She intends to make a difference in our country. Hillary Clinton intends to help our country to be what it can become.

She declares she wants to see more smiles in the family, more courtesies between men and women, more honesty in the marketplace. She is the prayer of every woman and man who longs for fair play, healthy families, good schools, and a balanced economy.

She means to rise.

Don’t give up on Hillary. In fact, if you help her to rise, you will rise with her and help her make this country the wonderful, wonderful place where every man and every woman can live freely without sanctimonious piety and without crippling fear.

Rise, Hillary.

Rise.
