Hillary's team crosses the line

The Clinton campaign's circulation of right-wing materials to denigrate a top Obama advisor reeks of cynicism.

    No vote for Hillary

    Here's why I will not vote for Hillary Clinton. When she came to my town to speak, several hundred of this town's mainstream and religious people stood outside the hotel where she was to speak and held a block-long sign with the names of all our Iraq war dead. We stood outside for four hours. Hillary sneaked in the back door of the hotel to avoid us. She refused, despite repeated requests, to come outside and meet with us. She refused to stand at the door or the window and wave to us. Our governor came out, but she would not. It was no differnent than when George W Bush spoke at the same hotel last year and went in the back door to avoid our wall of names.

    When Obama came to my town, he spoke at a local university. The stage behind him was packed with veterans against the war, some of them the people who organized our homemade wall.

    If it is McCain vs Clinton I will not vote. There is no difference.
