Hillary’s real opinion on Mississippi
By reformedhippie. Filed in 2008 Elections |
Citizens of Mississippi beware… you are living in the dark ages…. at least according to Hillary:
“I was shocked when I learned Iowa and Mississippi have never elected a woman governor, senator or member of Congress. There has got to be something at work here,” she said, theorizing it may be the risk-averse nature of a state built around agriculture.
“I think not only do I have to bring people to me, I have to maybe reassure people here maybe more than I do in New Hampshire, which has had a woman governor,” she said.
“I think Iowa poses a special burden, or a special obstacle to me because when you look at the numbers, how can Iowa be ranked with Mississippi? That’s not what I see. That’s not the quality. That’s not the communitarianism, that’s not the openness I see in Iowa.”
Yet another example of Hillary pandering to the audience of the day to gain political expediency. She made those comments to Des Moines Register reporter David Yepsen last October. She was campaigning in Iowa and with the caucuses looming over the horizon she figured she had better score some points at the Mississippi’s expense. Wondering what she will be saying now about Iowa to the citizens of Mississippi… since the primary today?
