Because as far as I can see, technically, the “followers” of Barack
are NOT loyal democrats in the same sense that the supporters
of the REST (in peace) of the democratic field passionately are/were.

In impressive numbers, admittedly, the Obamacrats
are putting forth a democratic candidate in the Democratic primary
and they surely ARE quick to conjure the ghosts of Democrats past
and cynically share podiums beside their last living surrogates.

But, by their actions and grievances and skull pounding platform,
and deft and devious swiftboating of the trusted elders in the party
merely to eliminate any and all compitition to THEIR nominee,
it is VERY clear that these New Obamacrats with their old republican ways
have no lasting devotion to either the desires of fellow Democrats
or the continuation of the party we have built…together.

They SAY they are unifiers but every gesture and ploy devides us.
SO are they who they SAY they are? Or are they what they DO?

In FACT their stated intent is to overthrow the outmoded leadership
to render the Old Boomer Ways obsolete acts of dottering folly
Which is why many of us, Hillary, too, feel positively besieged (we are!)
except for indulgent parents…like…Caroline Kenndy (bless her)
who have been swept up by their children’s charming…enthusiam…

It’s getting less and less…charming…in that Lord of the Flyish way.
(stab the bitch, do her in, spill her blood!)

And isn’t that what is WRONG with our child proofed country?
That there is NO aspect left where reasoning adults decide…anything?
(even now it seems, the next (worst case scenario last!) president)

I mean we are boomers and all for letting kids find their way. We did.
But this is the last absurd nightmare of the Boomer rollercoaster.
Where we finally reap what we sewed in our own rebellious youth.
Ground Hog Day for the McGovernites…

in a time when, literally, “The Whole World is Watching”
I’ve heard echoes of that (also borrowed) mantra in the Obama stance
over the prudent practices of the…clearly needed…superdelegates.
(sometimes called the grown ups)

Obamacrats don’t like…grown ups. They’d like to be rid of grups.
Shades of Star Trek.

The Obamacrats sort of remind me of a steering comittee I was on
my first quarter of college during the ’72 riots at the University of Minnesota.
THOSE fired up young patriots wanted to draft a platform to demand
that then U president Malcom Moos turn over his entertainment budget
to fund the activity of thier steering comittee.

The primary activity of their steering comittee was to try to
impeach Malcolm Moos.

I happened to like the guy myself, and found it absurd to ask him to
FUND the forces marshalled AGAINST him. I mean…wasn’t that…silly?
Needless to say I lost my…unpopular…position on the sterring comittee.

I was twenty at the time and it was a good lesson. I’ve hung onto it.
Zealots are Rediculous.

I was SO not surprised when the Rebubs tried to impeach Bill Clinton
( it IS such a zealot thing to do! )

Now the new zealots, The Obamacrats want to “turn the page” on us.
but they want The Page to all the heavy lifting…for them
How do they THINK pages of history turn, anyway?
A sudden stiff breeze comes along and…then what…what’s next?

In FACT the Obamacrats seem to be factioning off into Independents
(Minnesota loved Jesse Ventura. He certainly was…a change.)
They have chosen a charismatic to OPPOSE the democratic party.
And that is fine if they want to.

But they expect the democratic party to pay the high tuition
of their all too steep learning curve

As I said,

zealots are rediculous.

I am replying to your Research and Post Below,..Thank you for Posting ALl or Most of Hillarys Experiences..Education..Background.. Qualifications and Awards..

She is to be admired..she did not do that just to get recognition..or so she would have a resume someday…She did it because she is Very Intelligent and Committed ..

She is not only experienced and an Expert on Domestic and social Issues…She has been to over 80 Foreign Nations…Knows Most of the World leaders…and Knows that just like the
Domestic problems in the United states…That the
Entire World and its Cultures are just as Diverse and Complex..

Thats why she is MOST QUALIFIED to be President of the United States..and I think its time for
a Woman like Hillary ..with her Qualifications..

To BE ELECTED..

Thanks Chris and everyone here for the great Posts..comments and Debates…

Now lets look at Senator Clinton. I will only list her numbers for the 109th and 110th congress to make it fair to Senator Obama. She has sponsored or co-sponsored 1530 bills. Of those she sponsored 327.

Now I know you are going to tell me that Senator Obama works across the aisle more, so I thought I’d test that hypothesis. Of the 1067 bills mentioned above, only 154 passed the Senate. Of Senator Clinton’s 1530 bills, 217 passed the Senate. So Obama has managed to get 14.4% of his bills through the Senate vs. Clinton’s 14.2%. Wow!

Here is the real issue. Obama knew or should have known that Rezko was under investigation, and yet he is caught associating with Rezko while purchasing his new home. Obama is the candidate that is asking us to believe he has the judgment if not the experience to be president. I’m sorry, but I don’t see it.

I guess those folks at DuPont “have a better idea”

Yes, once you compare the legislation work to the various attacks, its easy to see where the candidates really stand, their votes.

Once I looked at the records of Clinton, Obama, and McCain, I easily could see the smear on Clinton about her “lack of substative legistlation”. The smear didn’t come from a RightWinger, but an Obama supporter right here at NoQuarter.

Go back in the archives, and just weeks ago I said, “screw both of them. Screw the Democrats”. But then someone had to drop a big ole lie I could read up on, and voila, there are ton of lies there to dig up now.

This is a great article by Paul Street.
We should see it republished here if possible.

Excellent post!

The Chicago Tribune recently published another article about Obama’s disingenuousness regarding contributions from lobbyists:

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/chi-lobbying_bdfeb10,0,7215849.story

Regarding his acceptance of millions in campaign contributions from employees of corporations, Obama would have us believe that all such contributions are made because these employees are “inspired by my message of change”.

I voted for Obama for senator because he was touted as a progressive. His record and his rhetoric have since made it clear that he is a centrist with a strong tendency to “compromise”, even if that compromise amounts to rolling over and playing dead. The Harry and Louise ads infuriated me also, as did his nonsense about how the Republican Party was the party of ideas in the 1980′s (he neglects to mention that the ideas were all bad).

Something that hasn’t been mentioned in this stream is Obama’s fund raiser with ministers and Donnie McClurkin. I cringe whenever a candidate closely identifies himself with a particular religion as I am a firm believer in the separation of church and state. What made this fund raiser absolutely reprehensible to me was Obama’s acceptance of McClurkin’s diatribe against the gay community. Had McClurkin’s speech been directed at any other group, there would have been an uproar.

There at Obamington Post you can freely do all “the pathological name-calling and insults” you like about Hillary and anyone else who doesn’t view Obama as the Second Coming. Rehash all the favorite Republican talking points over and over. Use the most vicious gutter language to describe Hillary and her supporters. Go ahead, check it out. You will meet many new friends. You will love it over there.

Or if you don’t like reading so much, you can just listen to Air Obama, formerly known as Air America. Start listening when Randi Rhodes comes on. She likes to play Obama’s speeches to start her show. I don’t think she has actually endorsed Obama yet. I am not sure since I stopped listening to her several days ago. Now Jon Eliot has endorsed Obama. Obamabots need not worry about any discouraging words about their hero offending their sensitive ears.
