This is a joke. HIllary can't vett the 5 people in her ad, especially after the 3 AM girl fiasco??

Hey, I thought this was kind of funny, since we were all wondering about the people in Clinton's ad. Oh well...at least he's a Clinton supporter and not an actor who secretly supports Obama!

Morning Call notes:

Barack Obama can take some solace out of Hillary Clinton's new television ad in Pennsylvania. At least one of her supporters featured in the spot hammering Obama for his small town comments isn't registered to vote in Pennsylvania.

Clyde Thomas, who sports a goatee in the ad and says, "The good people of Pennsylvania deserve a lot better than what Barack Obama said" is actually registered in New Jersey. He voted there for Clinton on February 5th. He only recently moved to Bethlehem, PA.

"It shouldn't be a big deal. I explained it to the
campaign," Thomas said in an interview. "I see
Pennsylvanians for what they are. I grew up with the values
of Pennsylvanians."

Man In Clinton's 'Bitter' Ad Isn't Registered To Vote - Politics on The Huffington Post

And were these people paid?

Why is this a big deal?

Does a person lose their right to free speech if they are not registered to vote in the state where they are speaking?

Or even if they are not registered to vote at all?

Voting is a right that can be exercised or not at the whim of any non-felon citizen 18 years or older.

HarperLee

Are you serious? If he doesn't care enough about what is going on in this country to register to vote, what credibility does he have when he feigns hurt and outrage about being called "bitter"?

Could it be that he is so "bitter" that he sees no point in voting.

And, again, was he paid?

guest1234567

Well, actually, he is registered to vote and did so in NJ.

He will of course have to register in PA and has the unique opportunity to legally vote twice in a primary race.

Regardless, you do not have to register for free speech. And to his alleged credibility; who cares? He's just a guy on the street to anyone who's watching. I may be going out on a limb here, but I'll bet people give their opinions all the time without needing to explain why they have one.

HarperLee

Of course they do. But was she unable to find any supporters registered to vote in Pennsylvania willing to appear in her Outrage
Ad?

And, for the third time, were they paid?

Someone needs to send Hillary an explanation of the term DUE DILIGENCE!

Her final products keep being the reflection of incomplete efforts!

She chooses to surround herself with racists and liars and criminals and a hell of a lot of LAZY AS SHIT staffers.

I don't call that leadership!

RK77

Felons vote in a lot of states in the US. What is your point?

guest1234567

It just doesn't matter if they are registered or not. Just as the little girl that was in the 3 AM ad that they legally paid for stock footage grew up to be an Obama supporter was a seriously non-issue, it just doesn't matter.

You have to be registered to vote, not talk.
You have to be registered to vote to enable your signature to be valid for a ballot initiative, not to talk or even to sit outside the supermarket asking others to sign the initiative.


I would guess not, although I would have no way of checking Hillary's books. There are a lot of people who want to be on TV.

guest1234567

Obviously my point is that you don't need to be registered to vote to talk on a TV commercial. You know, that whole First Ammendment thing with free speech and all.
