Bill Wigs Out over Lawsuit Meant to Disenfranchise Union Workers

Bill Clinton flipped out when a reporter asked him to comment on a lawsuit filed by the Nevada Teachers Association and other Hillary minions seeking to disenfranchise upwards of 60,000 Las Vegas casino workers during the upcoming caucus. Watch it and marvel as the disgraced former president loses it and berates the reporter who asked him about the lawsuit. Can Clinton's skin be any thinner?




Today, the Nevada Teachers Union and other Hillary surrogates challenged state and national Democratic Party caucus rules unanimously agreed upon last year and which were designed to make it easier for casino workers such as bellhops, housekeepers and watresses - the very people Hillary claims are "invisible to this administration" - to participate in the presidential candidate selection process. The rules Hillary wants to void make it possible for casino workers to caucus at or near their jobs rather than at their own precincts.

Apparently, the rules were just fine when Hillary enjoyed an aura of invincibility and up until two days ago, when the heavily Hispanic Culinary Workers Union Local 226, of which Las Vegas strip workers are a major part, endorsed Barack Obama. How undemocratic!

As shameful as the lawsuit is, it fits the Clintonian attitude toward voting that may not go their way. They are fond of a rigged game and the sure bet. They do not want their pursuit of power at any cost to be thwarted by the will of casino workers.

In a scathing indictment under the tag "vote suppresion," a liberal blogger states that the lawsuit is "an anti-democratic tactic typically used by Republicans, but now Democrats are using it against their own voters." Ouch!

There is an insurrection underway among the rank and file of the Democratic Party. As the reigning king and queen of the party, Hillary and Bill will do what they must to keep their crowns - and their heads! Even if it means taking votes away from the very people whose economic interests they falsely claim to represent.
