Lobbyists, in Hillary’s own words… (the YearlyKos clip)

Last month, when asked by an Iowan to explain her vote to label Iran’s Revolutionary Guard as a terrorist group, Hillary Clinton lost her temper and insinuated that Randall Rolph was a plant from an opposing campaign, saying the question was something “somebody obviously sent you.” In truth, the above link would suggest that Rolph is a concerned voter who has made a point of asking honest but challenging questions of every Demcratic candidate he’s able to see.
Now, apparently unwilling to deal with the uncertainty that arises from an open dialogue with voters, the Clinton campaign has admitted planting a question at a recent Iowa campaign stop. Hillary’s handlers acknowledge they asked a college student to pose a specific question about global warming, and John Edwards compared the practice to George W. Bush’s carefully scripted rallies. It seems, then, that Hillary is rather particular about her plants - preferring a carefully manicured garden of scripted questions over the wilderness of unpredictable inquiries that come from everyday Americans.
And yes, it looks like Hillary Clinton’s flip flops come in green too: After Hillary released an energy plan strikingly similar to plans previously unveiled by Edwards and Obama, but bore less resemblance to her own previous positions on biofuels,Obama criticized her for flip-flopping on energy policy. “If she’s willing to shift this quickly on this issue, we don’t know whether she will shift back when it gets hard.”
Since Hillary has invited voters to view her candidacy as a chance to return to the nostalgic 90’s, it’s a bit surprising that her campaign wants to bring up global warming… In spite of having Mr. Inconvenient Truth himself as VP, the Clinton administration made essentially no progress in combatting global warming - and at a time when scientific consensus on the issue had been reached and carbon reductions would have been particularly useful in slowing the threat.
