Here’s the New Democratic Logo for “Losers for Obama”

Loser ‘Droid Jimmy Carter

to the states of Michigan and Florida:

DROP DEAD!

The former president tells Jay Leno Wednesday night that the two states’ delegations should not be seated at August’s convention because they “disqualified themselves.”

“It would be a catastrophe for the party.” (Via Mark Halperin’s blog)

So here’s the new logo for the Democratic party convention, via New Hampster:

And HERE’S a t-shirt for these LOSERS:

He has to be going senile. Carter obviously hasn’t looked into this very deeply.

Comment by workingclass artist | 2008-05-08 13:18:15

Thankyou….I have been saying for a while that ST. JIMMY IS OFF HIS ROCKER….GREAT POST….Jimmy needs to stay on the Farm and SHUTUP !
SERIOUSLY….HE IS BECOMING AN EMBARRASSEMENT….

Comment by Hillary is the Best | 2008-05-08 14:34:49

Remember Oregon is done by mail in votes and they have to be in by May 20th. The time to call Oregon is NOW. Get them to fill out and send in their ballots today for Hillary!

Waiting till after West Virgina will be late.

I gotta add that I admired him greatly before this Obama push, and I’m not trying to be disrespectful. I really mean that question. He needs to seek out a natural health physician, or someone needs to do it for him (Rosalynn?).

 

Comment by jes | 2008-05-08 14:22:04

Jimmy Carter is another one with too much ego and not enough smarts. There’s a reason why he was the worse Democratic president in the last fifty years. And he’s widly unpopular with all the ex-presidents, Dem and Repug. Because he’s an ass, that’s why.

Comment by Shellius | 2008-05-08 23:05:23

Jimmy Carter is a great ex-president. He won the Nobel Peace prize, for pete’s sake. Just because he disagrees with people about seating MI and FL doesn’t mean he’s an ass.

Why is everyone so juvenile about this? It’s time to bring everyone together and beat John McCain. Hillary doesn’t want people behaving vindictively.

In case you haven’t heard, Obama plans to declare victory after the polls close in KY and OR on May 20.

What is really needed is a photo of Obama with a “Mission Accomplished” banner behind him. I’m sure there are some talented folks out there who could knock one of these out.

Comment by Talktruth | 2008-05-08 13:19:14

OMG, BSG, that’s a great idea.

Are we sure this is true? He’s certainly going to look like an idiot if he goes through with it!

Comment by Northwest rain | 2008-05-08 15:10:20

You’re right — he will look like an idiot. He hasn’t been elected and he hasn’t won the nomination. He has been acting like the KING — the presumptive winner since 2004.

When I saw that speech at the convention in 2004 — my impression was that this guy was an arrogant ASS. My first impressions are generally correct — and if he does this — then he is an egotistical ass.

As I’ve said before — there is no way I will vote for this massive disaster.

Expect NQ and other proHillary blogs to be hit hard by the snobamabots trying to tell us we need to fall into line and drink the Obama koolaid.

Comment by Talktruth | 2008-05-08 15:38:20

I think this will have the opposite effect than Axelrod is looking for (as has been the case for so many of his plans). People will think “What in the world is wrong with this man?” and come to the same conclusion you did - BO’s an arrogant, egotistical ass - and vote against him.

It’s like watching an accident about to happen, and not being able to do anything to stop it. BO and his supporters are running head-first, full-tilt into a very hard brick wall. All of us are yelling, “Excuse me, hello, you may want to veer off…” Hope some will hear before it’s too late.

Comment by Talktruth | 2008-05-08 13:41:10

Oh. My. God. I should have looked at the link. I am completely floored. All of this is UTTER NONSENSE. Who do Plouffe and Axelrod think they are? As Halperin says:

It’s a train wreck waiting to happen, with one candidate claiming to be the nominee while the other vigorously denies it, all predicated on an argument over what exactly constitutes the finish line of the primary race.

And I never saw or noticed that the DNC had reworked the number of number of delegates needed, based on not counting MI and FL. I’m not a political wonk and never saw it pointed out explicitly until now.

The Obama campaign agrees with the Democratic National Committee, which pegs a winning majority at 2,025 pledged delegates and superdelegates—a figure that excludes the penalized Florida and Michigan delegations. The Clinton campaign, on the other hand, insists the winner will need 2,209 to cinch the nomination—a tally that includes Florida and Michigan.

Of course it does! Someone needs to do a story on this, and get everyone up to speed on the particulars. WHAT A TRAVESTY! They will not get away with this.

Here’s some more of the Politico article (thanks again, Blue State Girl):

“We don’t accept 2,025. It is not the real number because that does not include Florida and Michigan,” said Howard Wolfson, one of Clinton’s two chief strategists. “It’s a phony number.”

Wolfson said they intend to contest the DNC’s 2,025 number “every day,” as well as any declaration of victory made by Obama based upon that number, because it does not include Florida and Michigan.

Obama will not reach the 2,025 magic number on May 20. Rather, on that date he is all but certain to hit a different threshold—1,627 pledged delegates, which would constitute a winning majority among the 3,253 total pledged delegates if Florida and Michigan are not included.

“On May 20 we’re going to declare victory,” said an Obama senior advisor who asked that his name be withheld to speak candidly, adding that after those contests they will be “the ones with the most pledged delegates and the most popular votes…”

“Senator Obama, our campaign and our supporters believe pledged delegates is the most legitimate metric for determining how this race has unfolded,” wrote Obama campaign manager David Plouffe Wednesday in a memo to superdelegates. “It is simply the ratification of the DNC rules - your rules - which we built this campaign and our strategy around.”

http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0508/10184.html

NOT THE VOTES, BUT THE PLEDGED DELEGATES. THIS IS TOTAL BULLSHIT!

Comment by Catriley | 2008-05-08 14:47:11

David Plouffe Wednesday in a memo to superdelegates. “It is simply the ratification of the DNC rules - your rules - which we built this campaign and our strategy around.”

Therein lies the issue. The Obama campaign has been in cahoots with Dean & The Elites all along. The fact that Axelrove teaches Trippi/Dean’s campaign strategy in his classes, tells you all you need to know about the mechanism here. They are blowing air up Dean’s skirt by validating the ridiculous new DNC strategy, and have been richly rewarded with extra delegates for North Carolina and Indiana (though Obama managed to lose that one — the DNC expected him to win it), and not penalizing South Carolina, but excluding Michigan and Florida.

Big Ego Dean wants his ridiculous strategy to be successful, and the Obama campaign have been drooling sychophants for it… that’s why they get all the support from the DNC and Hillary is treated like shit.

Comment by Talktruth | 2008-05-08 15:55:02

Jon Stewart cracked me up the other day when he had Dean on and asked him, “How is the DNC going to fuck this one up?” I guess we know how he’s going to try

Fox is going to be doing a report in a few minutes about how JIMMY CARTER DIDN’T DROP OUT OF HIS RACE AND HE DIDN’T HAVE THE REQUIRED DELEGATES EITHER! This should be good! It should be on in the next 30-45 minutes. Maybe sooner.

Comment by it'snotme | 2008-05-08 13:25:04

Also: he was farther behind in delegates than Hillary is NOW! What a damn hypocrite!

 

Comment by Catriley | 2008-05-08 13:31:46

OMG — Someone is actually reporting that!! ?? Bout time the media started talking about all the Democratic candidates that fought all the way to the convention with nothing close to what Hillary has. (of course they weren’t running against people whose followers threatened to riot if they didn’t win it.) And then there’s that whole “anatomy” thing that seems to preclude a female from going all the way to the convention. Apparently.

This should be interesting!

My respect for Jimmy Carter which I have had for a very long time is gone. I don’t hate him or anything. But I think he has lost touch with reality.

 

Comment by Patriotic Lion | 2008-05-08 13:22:01

Obama has been smoking way too much of his own hopeium

May 8, 2008

Aide says Obama plans to declare victory on May 20

“You can declare mission accomplished but that doesn’t mean that the mission has actually been accomplished,” Wolfson said.

Wolfson is an amazing master communicator for the amazing master politician Hillary Clinton. Wolfson’s remark sums up everything succinctly and perfectly!

Hillary will hang tight, she’s got a huge base of support and I got news for Obama, by pushing that he will “declare victory” on May 20:

If the Hill campaign ever needed the perfect way to raise funds, Obama just handed it to them.

It’s no bother if that’s some form of a trial balloon, Hillary can squeeze that childish balloon for 20 million dollars. In essence, Obama just handed Hillary the tools she needs to make it to the finish line. He has been making some very serious miscalculations which is no surprise, knowing the history of his extremely bad judgment. His arrogance will be his undoing.

And since Obama can’t debate Hillary and can only cheat and blackmail to try and win, Hillary looks that much more the only choice for Commander-in-chief and President. The delegates know this, and we will convince them to do the right thing. It’s not that complicated and we can, will and must win — America’s future as a free nation depends on it.

 

Comment by JKFriz | 2008-05-08 13:24:36

If Obama’s such a loser, and the Clintons are such winners, then why is Obama winning by every possible measure (popular vote, delegates - both including MI and FL, btw)? And the MI and FL delegations will be seated, but it won’t make one lick of difference in the final outcome.

Comment by Catriley | 2008-05-08 13:29:42

If Obama is such a winner.. then why the fuck are you here? I think Obama may need help shredding confetti for his coronation on May 20th.

Why are you irritants so damn afraid? Cuz if you weren’t afraid, why would you bother with us? Afraid more things will pop out of Obama’s closet before the Supers have a chance to change their minds?

Comment by Patriotic Lion | 2008-05-08 13:33:26

They’ve already changed their minds, they are waiting for cover. Trust me on this, if we use logic, knowing what we know about his baggage and the 35 or so retired brass that backs Hillary, etc., that is the logical and only conclusion. That is, unless the D party will choose political suicide.

Comment by Strawberrybitch | 2008-05-08 13:42:53

So true, if Obama has this all wrapped up, what are all the SD’s waiting for?

Hey JKFizz, he’s NOT winning the popular vote (see Florida and Michigan, and all the other big states, and do your homework on caucasing, and the abuses therein).

Why, I ask, for the hundreth time, are Obamabrats so obtuse?

Comment by JKFriz | 2008-05-08 14:47:34

From http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2008/president/democratic_vote_count.html

Popular Vote (w/FL & MI)** Obama +87,283 +0.25%

Estimate w/IA, NV, ME, WA* Obama +197,505 +0.57%

Homework done.

Feel free to find me a creditable popular vote count that conflicts with this one. And I won’t even touch the intellectual dishonesty of counting an unsanctioned one-candidate race in MI as part of this.

Comment by Dave | 2008-05-08 16:10:47

Your popular vote total is perfectly accurate. Obama is currently up by 1/4 of 1 percent (virtually nothing) until Tuesday when Clinton wins W. VA. She will win the actual popular vote.

As for Michigan, it was not a one candidate race. All the Democrats were on the ballot except Obama and Edwards. Both had their names removed to pacify Iowa and New Hampshire and to weaken the appearance of Clinton momentum in what was a sure win for her. He received the benefit for this, he should also have to pay the price.

How about just: No Quarter = Losers

You guys are like grade school cry baby quitters.
If you can’t have it your way then no one deserves to win.
If you can’t have it your way then wish for the party to be crushed and defeated so you can crow that you were right all along.
You call yourselves Democrats?
HA!
Okay, maybe some of you are now Independent Republicans who pretend to want change, who pretend you want the war to end, who pretend to want the economy to get better, who pretend you want universal healthcare, who pretend you support a woman’s right to choose.
What next, will you start working with Rush Limbaugh, or Free Republic or Right Wing News?

Fortunately, Hillary is grown up enough to work with Obama so the Democrats can win the White House.

Comment by Catriley | 2008-05-08 13:28:01

No.. actually people who spend their time on sites that don’t agree with them, just to attack the people there = Losers.

I am no longer a Democrat. This is a Democracy. I have the privilege of choice.

Funny, how all Primary Season long I heard nothing but “if Hillary is the nominee I’m not voting for her.”

I don’t care what you think about me. In politics it’s just a question of mind over matter. I don’t mind, because you don’t really matter.

And that goes for the so-called Democratic Party, Obama and all his suppoerters.

WIN WITHOUT ME!

 
 

Comment by Catriley | 2008-05-08 13:25:56

As I posted yesterday:

What do Kerry, Kennedy, and McGovern, have in common = Losers.

Bill Clinton = Winner (twice)

Add to that Jimmy Carter’s resounding thud in his re-election bid.

The DNC and the party elites don’t have a clue, do they? They’re throwing millions and millions at the SAME losing strategy that guarantees our failure once again, rather than admit that Dems have to appeal to the MIDDLE, instead of the far left, in order to get the White House. Twice.

And yes.. I heard the ludicrous bullshit that Obama will claim victory on May 20th. Wow.. who knew it was so easy to elect yourself KING! Guess all the other Democratic candidates that went along with the RULES and took their case to the convention (with LESS than what Hillary has right now) would have LOVED to proclaim themselves KING and save the expense.

Obama and his handlers are scared shitless every single day that Hillary is still a viable choice. THey, and the GOP-controlled media, are afraid that more and more of his skeletons will keep popping out of the closet before it’s too late to dump him from the election. What are they so scared of??? Why do they REFUSE to even ACKNOLWEDGE that Hillary is far ahead of ANY of those other candidates that took the fight to the convention?

Is it also because they are frightened that the Obama supporters will riot, as promised, if it goes to convention??? Thereby completely screwing the Party for years to come? Who the hell would want to be a Democrat if it means burning things, overturning cop cars, and hurting people, and looting, if your candidate doesn’t get the nomination? Aren’t threats of violence actually terrorist threats?? Is that what they’re afraid of? That the world will see what type of voter coalition the DNC has put together for our future?

What are you afraid of??

Comment by Patriotic Lion | 2008-05-08 13:40:38

They are afraid of losing. They have invested their time into Obama and their egos won’t let them let go. Its not that complicated. They know what we know about Obama. As do the delegates. And it is the delegates who will make the decision and not them. That must really bother them a lot. And that explains really why they are here: they are lobbying their own egos since they know they can’t change the outcome.

Its time for the grownups to grab a hold of this puppy and propel Hillary to the nomination. End game is here.

Hillary is inevitable!

Message from Bill Clinton, sent today:

I want to tell you about the day I had on Monday. I stopped in nine towns throughout North Carolina, starting the day at 7:30 a.m. in Elizabeth City and ending with a rally in Raleigh. That’s the most stops I’ve ever done in a single day — for any campaign. And I couldn’t be happier to work that hard for Hillary.

I talked to a lot of people that day, and one thing was crystal clear — people want Hillary to stay in this race until every last voter has a say. That’s why Hillary and I are working so hard. That’s why we’ve made a deep commitment to keep campaigning, keep fighting, and keep winning.

We have had a lot of success in this campaign, and our come-from-behind victory in Indiana is the latest example of how Hillary wins when she has your support behind her. As long as you share her commitment to winning, this race is going to continue.

Our next test is just five days away in West Virginia. Hillary needs your help right now to keep winning.

Contribute now to help us show the strength of our campaign.

I know something about coming back to win after you’ve been counted out. So does Hillary. Over the course of this campaign, the pundits have tried to declare a premature end to the race dozens of times.

Well, last time I checked, it’s still up to the voters. And there are a lot of voters who haven’t had their say yet.

It’s up to us to make sure that the voters in West Virginia and the other states yet to come are given a choice. I urge you to act now to help Hillary keep fighting.

Show your support by making a contribution today.

I wish I could talk to every last person who has worked so hard for Hillary to thank you for everything you’ve done for her. You mean so much to both of us. She’s still in this thing because of your hard work and your indomitable spirit.

Sincerely,

Bill Clinton

OK.. Look at this from BTD and counter their fuzzy math with this reality. How many more are thinking this and falling for the misinformation?

It looks less definitive than I thought it would. Here is Chris Bowers’ analysis:

[W]ith Florida seated as is, Clinton trails by 95 delegates when the Michigan Party’s plan is enacted. Further, since Edwards has declined to make an endorsement, his 32 delegates are now effectively uncommitted superdelegates. So, this means that the best case-scenario for Clinton right now is that she trails by 95 delegates with 550.5 delegates remaining. So, even in Clitnon’s best case scenario, Obama only needs 228 of the remaining 550.5 delegates, or 41.4%, to win the nomination.

Obama still needs 41.4% of the remaining delegates with this FL/MI plan? I thought the math was worse than that for Clinton.

Yes, I agree with the first poster. Senility is what came to mind after his Hamas trip but when I heard the remark he made on Leno it just blew me away.

Can anybody tell me just how much kool-aid is left and if the pod people can be kept out of here.

Unless MI and FL are counted in the quest for the nomination, and obama wins, then I will not vote in the presidential election. I’ll never vote for a repuglie until they pull their collective heads out of their asses, and I won’t vote for obama. So dean, your’re running out of time. If MI and FL aren’t counted properly before obama is given the nomination, count me out. And consider yourself the reason for Democrat’s loss in November.

“Senator Obama, our campaign and our supporters believe pledged delegates is the most legitimate metric for determining how this race has unfolded,” wrote Obama campaign manager David Plouffe Wednesday in a memo to superdelegates. “It is simply the ratification of the DNC rules - your rules - which we built this campaign and our strategy around.”

NOT THE VOTES, BUT THE PLEDGED DELEGATES. THIS IS TOTAL BULLSHIT!

Worry for not, we will work around any hurdles and don’t forget, by Obama childishly declaring victory prematurely, he just handed Hillary the PERECT fundraising tool. :) See my comment above:

Obama has been smoking way too much of his own hopeium

i got something better for u guys

someone at hillaryclintonforum ,,e-mailed to donna brazile ,,

and here is her respose

Donna Brazile responded to my letter about switching my party affiliation

——————————————————————————–

I am greatly disturbed by this primary. I am a Hillary supporter (I consider myself part of the base democratic supporters) and after many months of thinking about it I have decided to switch to the republican party.
I sent a letter to Donna Brazile today telling her of my decision and the exact reasons I was leaving.

Here was her reply to me:

Quote:

From: Donna Brazile @brazileassociates.com>

Subject: RE: Switching to Republican Party - I’m a Hillary supporter

Date: May 7, 2008 7:48 PM

Honestly, this is the 9th email today, so I believe you’re ready to not only
destroy Roe versus Wade, voting rights, civil liberties and civil rights.
Perhaps adding trillions more to the deficits through non stop tax cuts to
the wealthy and 100 more years in Iraq.

Yes, please join Rush and McCain asap. The train has left. Catch it.

Please don’t send these emails to working people like myself. Notice you
sent it to my campus address. I am a working class person. Can you find
someone who drinks latte?

Message to the base: stay home.

I love the concept of this article, Susan. You go! :)

An article detailing our call to electoral arms from this moment until we have won the nomination in August. Obama has absolutely no place to hide now, and it is time to rhetorically take he and his uncritical supporters to the proverbial woodshed:

‘Hell”‘is about to be unleashed against Obama

Clinton supporters and all those opposed to Obama, now is our time to, as the movie Gladiator so eloquently put it, “unleash (metaphorical) hell” against the fatally damaged and ready-to-be-put-out-of-its-misery Obama nomination campaign.

All hands on deck for the coming offensive.

I like the shirt, but i think that Walter Mondal endorsed Hillary Clinton. If that is true, the shirt should replace the name Mondale with the name Carter. It would be unfair for Walter Mondale to be signalled out this way.

Mondale withdrew his Hillary endorsement yesterday and told Hillary to drop out. He now supports Mr. Hope.

I’ve been saying it for a long time, and the T-shirt is a great idea:

Obama is supported by the “First Losers Club” of men who have run for the presidency and failed - Kerry, Kennedy, Dodd, Richardson, Mondale, MCGOVERN!

He is in fitting company, and he’ll fit right in at the club when he too becomes a member either this summer, or in November.

 

Comment by Mr.Murder | 2008-05-08 14:07:53

Carter is entitled to his opinion. He also served honorably in armed service. Same as McGovern, a man who was and remains a Wes Clark supporter, by the way.

Guys who were right about arguments but wrong about elections don’t compare to the present chump. Obama’s patron Teddy Kennedy has as much to thank for Carter’s loss as anyone. The same man who ushered John Kerry onto our electoral process. If only Hillary would drop out early like all of those running against Kerry did, the Unity Pony Express could travel forward!!

Howard Dean learned his lesson on that, why can’t Hillary? The 48 state strategy is in place!!

Carter will negotiate with Hezbollah, which is terrorizing Lebanon as we speak…..

but he will not negotiate w/ Florida or Michigan….probably b/c there are too many of us Israel-loving Jews in Florida and Michigan…

Comment by workingclass artist | 2008-05-08 14:24:55

I think that in his senility….Carters anti semiticism is rising to the surface…
It is not unknown in old men like him from the south….He completly contradicted himself in his latest book and blew most of his past creds with the Isarealies….

 

Comment by Mr.Murder | 2008-05-08 21:43:10

Carter is not Anti Semetic, have you forgotten Camp David?

As for Lebanon being terrorist, how many emerging states surive a barrage of attacks by their neighboring country to the extent Israel has pummeled others?

Bomb Syria and lie about it for political points and to influence American electoral outcomes. That’s what we’d like all of our client states to do, I guess.

The first countries to help us against Al Qaeida, on the very day of 9-11, were Syria and Iraq, both of which feared the group and its pan Sunni ties to Saudi Venture backing.

The point of talking to other countries is valid. It’s simply a matter of Obama’s own donor portfolio being full of crooks and wise guys who are least likely to shape long term benefit for any deals we broker if Barack gets the nod, due to his own conflicts of interest with said wise guys like Rezko.

 
 

Comment by HillGirl | 2008-05-08 14:09:34

A week before the Indiana primary, Politico.com published an article saying that if Obama didn’t “close the deal” on Indiana, he shouldn’t be the nominee because it would mean “the nominee would enter the general election defined to an unusual degree by his vulnerabilities”. It was his last chance to prove he could cut the mustard among “the white working class”. He didn’t do it. With all of his money, with all of his support, with his home state next door, with being there weeks before Hillary - he STILL did not do it! Obama knows the deal. Hillary should be the nominee!
Now, Politico has done another 180. Hillary is toast. Obama is going to declare himself the victor on May 26th. It is just ridiculous!
I have had it with the media and the mutituce anti-Hillary bloggers who post the same things over and over again. The DNC needs to recognize that when bloggers are on the internet for hours on end - that is when the taxpayers - the bread winners of this country -if you will, ARE AT WORK! They are the ones who pay the taxes and they are the ones the DNC needs to recognize. Why don’t they? And, for that matter, why doesn’t Donna Brazile and by default, Obama?
Hillary knows the deal. She knows who pays the bills.

Comment by sandyR | 2008-05-08 14:37:14

The media has just been hysterically funny (and deeply irritating). I remember when RM (I can’t write her name without many, many invectives)
said on Super Tuesday eve, “whoever wins California.. watch for that… it’ll be whoever wins California.” You know how the mediaobamatrons wave their hands in the air to be called on by the headmediaobamatron. Over and over whenever it could, it repeated, California will be the decider..whoever wins california.”
I was like “shut up already, you made your point– I get it, California…
So then, results come in and Hillary wins California. What does the CNN mediatroll say,
“it’s a tie!”
These media clowns remind me of Phil Simms doing football games. “No, that’s not a reviewable play.
No, you can’t review that one. If his feet are out, that’s an on-the-field-call. That’s an un-challengeable call.” And then, wihtout fail, it turns out it can be challenged, the team wins the challenge. Does Phil think twice about blovating again? Well, of course not. On and on he would go, getting things wrong. Over and over. Same with the CNN cultcrew.. They just don’t get that they are wrong 90% of the time. They just don’t get the concept that if you are consistently wrong, maybe you should rethink your powers of observation.

They are not autonomous observers. They are the ownership’s mouthpieces. If they don’t do their master’s bidding, somebody else will — AND for less money.

Trolls are the energy that inspires us to fight on as pro-Hillary patriots and bloggers…

Of course our next President Hillary Clinton has a lot to do with our fighting warrior spirits. She has shown amazing courage under fire — a quality that that man who would rather eat a waffle and can’t debate his foe do not nor will ever posses. Hillary has shown us she has earned the title of Commander-in-chief.

In the scheme of things, trolls have their place and I sincerely thank them, although I am running out of paper towels having to constantly wipe the dog shit off my shoes from the piles they leave around here that we have to walk through. :) Minor if smelly inconvenience.

 

Comment by John D | 2008-05-08 14:19:14

Didn’t Carter go to other countries’ election to make sure votes are counted properly? I think he should stay here and make sure every vote count HERE, in this country.

Comment by Patriotic Lion | 2008-05-08 14:29:33

Carter’s behavior on the surface is troubling, and don’t get me wrong it is troubling, but:

From a different point of view: Every time a pol tries to twist Hillary’s arm into submission she jabs ‘em back and is able to raise more money and keep going. In other words, she is the underdog, and America, including the delegates en mass want to see her succeed. And folks will put their money where their mouth is, figuratively in the case of the delegates and literally in cash to keep her going to the finish line.

So I suppose one could logically argue Carter is helping Hillary’s underdog status.

Bottom line: this process will end with the strongest battle hardened President in US history:

President Hillary Clinton

Hillary us inevitable!

…and never underestimate the underdog!

And Hillary because of this grueling process will have the gravitas to achieve the change the other guy only pontificates ad nauseam about but in reality that’s just a campaign slogan and everybody knows it, including the delegates who will make the right choice.

Here is the field day the Republicans will have with Obama!

http://www.barackobamaassociates.info/

When you combine all these folks together, Marxist associations all over the place, even David Axelrod, who’s mother wrote for a communist paper in NYC years ago, Patriotism will be formost in the fall if Obama is the nominee!

And someplace it was said that last night Obama claimed his father was buried draped in an American flag, how does Obama know, he only found out about his fathers death months after it happened.

This is the biggest joke of a candidate EVER and people are gobbling it up, when is the Democratic Party going to change names to the Marxist Party of America?

All the discards. The Wanna-Be’s but Couldn’ts Plus a president who f*ked up so much he couldn’t get another term.

I’ll never forget how Carter would not let the Shah of Iran into the country for cancer treatment. The Shah had been our staunch ally for years. He was dying.
OK he was not perfect, but we never turned down his friendship. Carter’s sanctimony made me sick.

Comment by workingclass artist | 2008-05-08 17:15:19

Yeah…that was really tacky….any way you cut it…..We let Marcos into the country…..

 

Comment by Mr.Murder | 2008-05-08 21:59:20

Didn’t the Shah get medical treatment here?

In fact, the Noriega/Marcos crew appears to have best helped the Shah with his stay in Panama shortly before his death.

Who exactly was close to those extremists, and who helped fund Iraq’s war with Iran?

The GOP.
Carter’s loss was a soft coup that ushered in Reagan.

Made 2000 seem like a walk in the park, or a stroll through the courthouse, led by RNC Congressional aides who ferried an Enron jet to Miami Dade.

So your calling out of Carter seems out of context, he paid the penultimate political price in providing diplomatic cover to a man who was a long standing part of Ike’s foreign policy aims.

Think bill Ayers isn’t active anymore, from a report by the Students for a Democtratic Society Bulletin Dated January 12-13, 2008 Milwaukee

e weekend of January 12-13 in Milwaukee proved to us that others in the region were doing serious
work on local and national issues, more than meeting the challenge of the high bar set by the so-called
face of SDS, the better publicized chapters on the coasts.
Unlike national, our convention was non-deliberative,
thus the work done was skill sharing, reports
of chapter-level work, communication building,
and caucusing.
Friday
On Friday aernoon we drove through Wisconsin
to Milwaukee. We were put up by the amazing Jay
and Molly of Milwaukee-SDS.
We started sharing about our chapters right
away, went out to a busy, greasy pizza joint, then
hit the hay in preparation of the next day’s events.
Saturday Morning
Chapters attending were from Milwaukee,
Chicago, Macalester, U of Minnesota, U of North
Dakota at Grand Forks, Grand Rapids, Michigan,
Madison and Detroit.
Aer intros we had an extended discussion, facilitated
by Bill Ayers of old SDS and Weather Underground
fame, who gave his great progressive
smarts and spirit to the conversation.

This is Obama’s friend, still active and seeking what he has all along!

HuffPo has a lead article painting Hillary as a racist and I’m sure it’s being spread over the internet. (Top article on the Politics Page).

In addition to posting here, we must go to other sites and combat these lies. I’ve researched the following if you need data to post:

Bill Clinton appointed nine African Americans to cabinet posts. He also appointed Carl Stewart, the first African-American ever appointed to the Court of Appeals serving Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas.

Bill appointed hispanics, Henry Cisneros, Federico Peña, Bill Richardson to caninet posts. Plus Castillo, the first Hispanic federal judge in Illinois, and Lisi and Currie the first women to serve on the federal trial benches in their states.

Maggie Williams, currently running Hillary’s campaign, served as chief of staff for Hillary Clinton when she was First Lady. Maggie Williams was the first African American woman to ever hold that position. Patti Solis Doyle was the first female Hispanic to manage a presidential campaign, she was recetly replaced by Maggie. Hillary hired Addisu Demissiem, a Yale graduate of Ethiopian descent, as her Political Director in Connecticut.

Hillary also hired African American Bob Nash as her deputy campaign manager. Nash had worked as the director of White House personnel for President Bill Clinton for six years. Also, Minyon Moore, former CEO of the DNC and White House advisor to Bill Clinton. Nash and Moore are two of about a dozen of African Americans in the Clinton inner circle.

Obama supporters:

Please name the African Americans in Obama’s inner circle of PAID advisors. Because every search I do turns up only white liberal advisors on his payroll.

They’ve been crying the wolf of racism and will continue to.

The delegates and the American people know they are crying wolf and they know how dangerous Obama is.

We should stand up to these scurrilous and unfounded accusations of course and I thank you for point this out, but in the grand scheme of things crying wolf will not steal Obama the nomination. He won’t blackmail America with race-baiting and fomenting insurrection in the form of threatening race-riots. The delegates are aware of this and I am sure the Clinton team has brought this up as an issue why Obama can never be nominated, as he is a threat to our very way of life.

The fear and race cards were dealt long ago, and now all those do is make Obama look like a desperate misguided and dangerous fool.

Hillary is inevitable!

 

Comment by Lucinda | 2008-05-08 15:47:58

With all due respect to former President Carter, he needs to stay out of politics and foreign affairs and stick with his humanitarian efforts at Habitat for Humanity. Carter never belonged in politics to begin with and that’s why he was a one-term President.

 

Comment by avwrobel | 2008-05-08 16:26:36

Just imagine it: Hillary wraps up the nomination at the convention and coasts to the White House; 2 years later we’re about to achieve universal healthcare; we’ve wound down our Iraq invovlvement; meanwhile Obama and Duval Patrick have been defeated in their reelection efforts. At a press conference President Clinton is asked about Obama and Patrick, and she says, “(fill in the blank)”

 

Comment by avwrobel | 2008-05-08 16:30:27

Also, I don’t get it with Jimmy Carter. I love what the guy has done after his presidency, but he’s just wrong-headed on the delegate issue.

 

Comment by avwrobel | 2008-05-08 16:37:07

To Blobert

Actually, it was when the Shah came to the U.S. for surgery that the radicals took over in Iran and grabbed our embassy and staff. Carter was right to not want to bring him here, but Sec of State Brezinski nagged him into doing so, to Carter’s regret since.

Now I won’t diss Carter, simply won’t. I don’t agree with his opinion on FL and MI, because that’s a huge disenfranchisement. As an election watcher, Carter should know better that an election isn’t valid, when a swath of a country isn’t even allowed to pick their candidate.

If that occurred in Haiti and elsewhere, Carter would claim the election invalid. The USA is no different. It’s “one person, one vote” — no ands, ifs, or buts.

 

Comment by HFP | 2008-05-09 01:41:07

Today I read that Time magazine will release a cover page with Hussein Obama as being the winner, even though the race is still on. I also read, on a post, that Time Warner owns Time magazine, and they also own CNN. Now it makes sense to me why they will no longer show Clinton campaigning and they will no longer discuss Rev. Wright. More dots to connect. Our President has been chosen for us. They underestimate Hillary’s supporters.
