Top Dems warn Clintons about negative tactics, Clintons "Robo Call" North Carolina anyway

I guess the Clintons haven't heard the old country saying that "you don't crap where you eat"....Or when you've dug yourself in a hole, stop digging.

Dems addressed alarm and concern about Clinton’s negative campaign to the press.
Its funny how Bill Clinton can turn on the charm and swagger to get people to forget his "transgressions". Its like being married to a wife beater and inviting them back after the bruises heal.
