Former President Bill Clinton and the inventor-of-the-internet-in-his-mind met with Tennessee democrats for a little pep rally. Bill Clinton inadvertently let slip a small bit of honesty.
“I don’t think all these people are coming to these town meetings raising cain with your congressman in bad faith. I think they’ve had the daylights scared out of them. And I get it,” Clinton said.
Clinton and Gore, the former Tennessee senator, were the keynote speakers at the Tennessee Democratic Party’s annual Jackson Day Dinner, a fundraising event that generated a record $600,000 for the party’s war chest heading into the pivotal 2010 elections, according to party chairman Chip Forrester of Nashville.
Both Gore and Clinton urged the party faithful to back their congressmen to get health care reform passed this year.
“We need to pass a bill this year. Doing nothing is not only the worst thing we can do for the economy, it’s the worst thing we can do for the country. It’s also the worst thing we can do for the Democrats,” Clinton said…
Have you ever heard a worse reason to do something? To save a political party? Please.
