An Open Convention in August Protects Democracy

As reported by Marc Armbinder, at a meeting of Hillary’s fundraisers last Thursday, Senator Obama was asked if he would accept a roll call vote at the Convention. His response, according to a participant:

“Hillary and I are going to negotiate this thing and talk about it, and obviously we’re going to do what is right for the party. We’re all going to make sure we agree.”

There is nothing to negotiate. To remove anyone’s name from the ballot is not legal or moral. Senator Clinton has more than earned the right, in the closest Democratic Primary in history, to have her name put forth into nomination on the first ballot at the Democratic Convention and have a roll call vote.

This is about respect. Respect for 18,000,000 voters, and respect for the pledged delegates whose allegiances were assigned based on the votes cast over the last six months.

Achieving true democracy takes courage. If Senator Obama is truly the ‘uniter’ he claims to be, he would never want his fellow Senator’s rights to be negotiated away.

He would be absolutely committed to respecting all of Senator Clinton’s voters as much as he respects his own. After all, isn’t the eventual goal a Democratic administration? Unity stems from fairness. Not backroom deals or untoward pressure for a powerful opponent to bow out.

The is where The Denver Group comes in, an organization dedicated to ensuring that all delegates can vote on the first ballot as originally pledged, Super Delegates are free to vote their conscience, and most importantly, where both Senator Obama and Senator Clinton’s names are on the ballot. No coronations, thank you.

It certainly looks as though Senator Obama’s campaign fears a roll call vote at the Convention. Given all the gaffes and dustups and policy flip-flops of the last three weeks, I can understand why.

The DNC cannot afford to ignore Senator Clinton’s voters any longer by pretending her name should not be put forth. Even Howard Dean, who only had 130 delegates pledged to him in the 2004 primary, had his name on the first ballot.

While Chairman Dean has made some vague rumblings that this will be an open convention, we have seen that the DNC may not be as committed to the rules as they pretend. Perhaps voters need to both remind and pressure them to do what they know is right. In this regard, the almighty dollar speaks louder than anything else.

Senator Clinton has endured misogyny and bias at the hands of the media. Sometimes, the only way to break through that bias is to get our own message across in the media and one of the best and most reliable ways is to buy it.

Fundraising is not my favorite thing, but three months ago, I was still a “lurker” and not a “blogger”. Until two weeks ago, I had never put a guest post on a site such as this one. I am finding a new comfort with many things. The loud cries we are hearing in the blogosphere, and the resulting movement growing by the day, demonstrates a power that is hard to ignore. A friend said to me today that a full page ad in the Washington Post will send a bigger message to the DNC than 100,000 letters. An ad says money and since The Denver Group cannot accept corporate or union donations, grass roots assistance from everyone out there will send a very powerful message indeed as to the number of voters standing together to achieve one goal.

Howard Dean, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and Donna Brazile will hear my message loud and clear – they will know how many donors like me it took to have a full page “voice” in the Washington Post or a 30-second TV spot. Imagine if millions of supporters gave even as little as $5 to the cause. That’s a war chest that will make the DNC sit up and take notice. Money equals power in a situation like this one.

I am not content to restrict myself to writing letters to the DNC or expressing my disappointment privately. Taking action on behalf of The Denver Group is one of the best ways for me to insist that democracy not be taken away.

I will not be disenfranchised. My vote did and does count. I want my voice to be heard. I stand with and will contribute to The Denver Group to make sure that it will be heard loud and proud at the Democratic Convention in August.

There is nothing to negotiate. Hillary deserves to be on the first round ballot- case closed. Obama is not thinking of the Democratic party- he is thinking of HIMSELF and ONLY HIMSELF. This has been his campaign message- YES I CAN. He is the most arrogant individual in politics today- I find this so appalling- that he would try to make the rules for himself. Sounds like Tricky Dicky Nixon politics to me. Unbelievable- especially on this July 4 when we are supposed to be celebrating our democracy. This man wants to take it away.

Comment by FloridaDem | 2008-07-04 15:49:37

That’s all the Obamas ever think about - themselves. That goes for Michelle as well as Barry. His arrogance is truly intolerable. What is it going to take for Hillary to back off and let him fend for himself?

The only way to achieve this goal is to relaunch the Boston Tea Party (as I keep suggesting) and dump tea on the steps of the DNC headquarters. They are not going to respond to letters or reason, but only to shame and public repudiation for their tyranny. The next few weeks are probably all we have left to save this country from another 4-8 years of ruin. Retiring Sen. Clinton’s debt should not be a priority and a protest at the convention will be nothing more than a protest at the convention.

Instead, we should be running an ad in the Wash Post (as I keep suggesting) and explaining the absurdity of Florida and Michigan having their delegates stripped for voting 1-2 weeks early, when superdelegates got to “vote” 3 months early. The argument is so basic that Americans get it. They will support us now, but not later, when the media is comparing the protest in Denver to the one in Chicago in 1968.

By stopping business as usual at the DNC - until they back down on their coup de tat and bring Clinton’s campaign back online - we can only WIN. She can then announce she’s running as an Independent in order not to aggravate the African American community by challenging Barack, and then a no-budget, grassroots campaign will take her over the top. This is so within our grasp, while retiring a $20 million debt is not.

As long as our candidate continues to endorse Obama, we have no prayer. (For an article on the people behind Obama’s candidacy, please click on my screen name.) Also please join this campaign to get Congress to investigate media bias.

Try 2 million of us at the moment–that’s a one month number. Add 2 more months, more disaffected and disenchanted Hillary supporters, MSM advertising, and additional Obama shifts and gaffes and then we’ll talk about PUMA power and its relevancy in Denver.

Until then, sit on it!

What is there to negociate? I can not believe that we have to change all the rules and laws to fit Hussien Obama’s wishes and demands so that he can get elected. who the hell he think he is? It has been always the rule, and there should not be any exception. Any candidate who wishes to be on the roll call can do so without getting permission from the so called presumptive nominee! who is he ? a dictator?

Check out this article - link it - laugh like mad.

ABC News’ Jennifer Parker Reports: Less than 20 people, mostly women, holding “Free Hillary” and “NObama” signs, protested outside the Mayflower Hotel in Washington DC Thursday night where Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., is expected to appear at a fundraising event for Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill.

They are part of a coalition of groups still angry that Clinton lost the primary.

“We don’t want Barack Obama to be president,” said Will Bower, columnist for the Huffington Post website, and co-founder of the “Party Unity My Ass,” and “Just Say NO DEAL” groups.

The newly-formed groups are urging Clinton not to deal with Obama and fight for the nomination at the Democratic Party convention in August.

“The DNC has pre-wired this election to put in an insider candidate and we need to stop it,” Bower said, citing the Democratic National Party delegate system.

“He needs to worry about the women,” argued Patricia Lengermann of Maryland, a member of the “Just Say NO DEAL” coalition. “He never got a majority and she has 18 million voters,” she said, “he should make a gesture to her to pay off her debt — half of it she spent herself,” she said.

So funny that they didn’t have Obomba’s infamous buses to pick up the people in different states in order to drive them. The working class can’t afford to show up at every protest or rally because they have fucking jobs, you stupid ponce.

Comment by scorbs | 2008-07-04 22:41:36

I saw the Georgetown University law school buses at the May 31 RBC meeting, in the parking lot. They bused Obamabots in using gray GU buses. Hope the university got paid for their vehicles.

They are scared SHITLESS that if there is a Roll Call Vote, a Roll Call Revolt might occur. They know just how dangerous the ground they are treading on is and they want to protect their selectident at all costs.

This people are not democrats, they are fanatics who want to supress all dissent.

Immoral, Illegal, and Downright Dirty.

I wonder what Donna’s Mamma taught her about cheating lying stealing and subverting the process to justify the ends.

Comment by mountainlion | 2008-07-04 16:33:24

i sent donna a letter and asked her about how she felt and said about the same thing you stated above. she told me she was turning me over to a hate monotoring group…..lol, screw her, she is a cheater.

Comment by Northwest rain | 2008-07-04 17:04:42

That seems to be “their” response if we don’t, won’t or can’t vote for snObama — RACIST.

Donna the Racists Brazile is the one who is the racist — I’ll bet she also goes to a racist church.

And this isn’t “reverse” racist — their hatred is of a whole group of individuals based on skin color. THIS is racism.

The are more reasons NOT to vote Obama than to vote FOR Obama — it is a simple game of numbers — he has very high negatives.

And on this 4th of July — I say he’s NOT patriotic and he is a security risk!

 

Comment by SBwa | 2008-07-04 17:07:11

A hate monitoring group? Are you serious? So, anyone that disagrees with Donna and the Rules Committee is also a racist? Who do these people think they are?!

 
 

Comment by UKforDems | 2008-07-04 16:36:23

It is not a question of suppressing dissent. Every RNC Convention that has led to victory has been a model of unity. That Unity has been strictly enforced. Every DNC Convention has had some kind of fight. Get rid of the fights and win.

The reality is you lot do not want him to win so there are no lessons here.

Comment by WildChild | 2008-07-04 16:40:05

It took you thins long to realize we don’t want BOBO elected? LOL was it a time zone thing for you or was it that we are two peoples separated by a common language?

Yeah. “Fights.” Like threatening to riot in the streets …. Democracy should never be compared to the RNC. We have always believed in votes. Well. We used to. BO … Before Obama.

Obama must have fired his paid bloggers.
They used to moniter this site to be the first to post. I have also noticed on another website I visit (not political) that the rabid Obama bloggers are not longer there defending him and trashing Clinton (or McCain now).

What I have noticed is that now that these paid bloggers are no longer ebullying people from the other website I visit, 80% of the comments from regular people are negative towards Obama.

If the obama campaign had their way, only Bacrackhead Obullshit would be on the ballot in the general election. Just like in his first successful senate race in Illinois where he disenfranchised the voters and got his opponent kicked off the ballot by contesting every signature until there were not enough to allow her on and no time for the opponent to contest his dirty politics.

Comment by terri | 2008-07-04 17:23:52

My thoughts and spirit will be with you all at Denver.
Barack Hussein Obama (his parent’s gave him that name)was shown at last night’s CNN : He was talking of making a extreme make-over for the White House! He said he was undecided whether to take down the flat TV in the Lincoln Room!

Funny, my English friends tell me all the indigenous white people in England are leaving in droves to go to U. S. and Spain because they’re so racist toward the ethnic immigrants coming into England.

As for emigration - well you only talk to bigots and Tesco can sell them some extra value white sheets.

DENVER. PUMA.

The biggest problem is her delegates are being strong armed and threatened and bribed to abandon her and for “unity” bs, to support him with their first vote even if pledged to her.

There will be a roll call or else there will be anarchy and chaos. Some of her supporting delegates would walk out in protest and it would not be good PR for the DNC to have delegates chanting PUMA!

July and August will continue to open peoples eyes as they focus on ob. The SD’s can flip any time.

And yes, his attitude all along has been condescending, he has acted as though he grants her permission to breathe. He LET her remain in the primary race, he acted as if he had control to stop her when it wasn’t his call. He always was running a power trip and usurping her power. Arrogant sham.

Comment by Ani | 2008-07-04 19:39:53

Senator Obama is truly the most arrogant politician I have seen. Ironic since he is also the least experienced and least qualified.

But come to think of it, that makes sense. What he lacks in qualifications for the office, he more than makes up for with his arrogance.

Barack Obama shows disrespect to the brave freeom fighters by dishonoring democracy and freedom to have a fair and just election process based on principles and not for his own political gains.
Senator Hillary Clinton deserves the right to be treated equally as like before her in the convention.It is obvious, BHO will do anything to crown himself the “King” or Dictator!

Comment by Elizabeth Reilly | 2008-07-04 16:31:11

I’ve never seen anything like this in my more than 30 years as a Democrat. If there is a blowup over the roll call at the convention, ‘let ‘em eat cake Obama’ and his minions at the DNC will effectively end the Democratic party as we’ve known it and I do not think it will ever come together, constituted in the same way. Management needs to be removed enmass!

They simply do not realize how angry we are, nor how many we are. When one portion of this country tries to disenfranchise another portion, it’s not some small, trifling event which will blow over. No one gets in the way of an American voter’s rights…NO ONE!

Listen everyone: we already know that they are going to try to prevent a roll call vote, and that they’re going to try to wipe Hillary’s name off the ballot.

Now, it appears that Obama is planning on giving his acceptance speech at a different location. I’m concerned that they’re going to have the “official” vote at this new location (the football stadium), while Hillary’s delegates are left at the convention center.

Obama’s people and the media are reporting this story as though it is just about having a more impressive media moment…that 75,000 people behind the Messiah will be more impressive on TV than 20,000. It may be true that Barcky’s ego is a factor in choosing to change the venue, but I seriously think there is more to it than just ego. He’s already taken over the party headquarters and relocated them to Chicago. What’s to stop him from taking control of the convention and the votes? Is there any group that can or should be monitoring this?

Who will be allowed into the stadium?

Comment by SBwa | 2008-07-04 17:17:28

More manipulation by Obama and his cronies. They will guilt trip the country into supporting him. Seeing him try to copy MLK in popularity only, is what’s the most disturbing. Obama LACKS character and is going to make a mockery of MLK and his brilliant “I Have A Dream” speech. The SDs won’t be able to vote Hillary because of the massive guilt trip the country and world will experience.

But that’s OK because UKfordumb has a hard-on for Obama.

ABC News’ Jennifer Parker Reports: Less than 20 people, mostly women, holding “Free Hillary” and “NObama” signs, protested outside the Mayflower Hotel in Washington DC Thursday night where Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., is expected to appear at a fundraising event for Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill.

They are part of a coalition of groups still angry that Clinton lost the primary.

“We don’t want Barack Obama to be president,” said Will Bower, columnist for the Huffington Post website, and co-founder of the “Party Unity My Ass,” and “Just Say NO DEAL” groups.

The newly-formed groups are urging Clinton not to deal with Obama and fight for the nomination at the Democratic Party convention in August.

“The DNC has pre-wired this election to put in an insider candidate and we need to stop it,” Bower said, citing the Democratic National Party delegate system.

“He needs to worry about the women,” argued Patricia Lengermann of Maryland, a member of the “Just Say NO DEAL” coalition. “He never got a majority and she has 18 million voters,” she said, “he should make a gesture to her to pay off her debt — half of it she spent herself,” she said.

If you don’t want o-turd-a, I mean Obama to be POTUS. You might want to start thinking about contributing to John McCain. The Presidency is won with real cash. And if the party to the people (PUMA People) are going to be the change the direction the corporate media has swung this election and we are actually going to WIN! We must assure that the change is in us and donate to elect John McCain. Because we believe he will be the best President. The DNC will never allow Hillary to take the nomination back. Time to move on to helping Jhon McCain because we won’t live with the in-experience and audacity of arrogance from O-Turdo!

Comment by StrawberrybitesBarky | 2008-07-04 16:50:53

New Gaffe City: Obama patriotism speech, “As we begin our fourth century as a nation.” WTF?

Obama patriotism speech, June 30 2008 Independence, Missouri

As we begin our fourth century as a nation, it is easy to take the extraordinary nature of America for granted. But it is our responsibility as Americans and as parents to instill that history in our children, both at home and at school. The loss of quality civic education from so many of our classrooms has left too many young Americans without the most basic knowledge of who our forefathers are, or what they did, or the significance of the founding documents that bear their names. Too many children are ignorant of the sheer effort, the risks and sacrifices made by previous generations, to ensure that this country survived war and depression; through the great struggles for civil, and social, and worker’s rights.

Can someone please enlighten me. If we are beginning our “fourth century as a nation” then we must have been founded as a Nation in 1708?

Comment by Jimbus | 2008-07-04 17:10:24

He’s probably refering to our 4th century of slavery.

Black American Anthem and all. Reparations for 400 years…

More telling than you’d first think.

 

Comment by Teakwood | 2008-07-04 21:56:50

celebrating our country’s birthday back in 1976….

You could hear Might Mo’ firing her guns in the NY harbor 30 miles away in Great Neck… Awesome!

I also remember that year they had King Kong climbing the Empire State Building from the hill by the LIE; SUNY College at Old Westbury; again
30 miles away…about an inch tall up the side of the building.

Now we get to see Obama firing his CRAP CANNON at point blank range.

I wish to say Happy 4th and a shout out to all the active, reserves and vets of our Nation. I salute you.

A special shout out to POvet and Hoopster’s son. Stay safe!

OK, I’m confused…I remember 1976 and bicentennial celebrations. I’m must really be old and I think I missed our tricentennial. If a century is 100 years, I have America being 232 years old. To me that means we are still in our second century. Would someone take a minute and explain this to me?

Comment by tampagurl | 2008-07-04 19:57:49

No need to explain, I see we all answered around the same time and are on the same page :)

I was thrilled when I followed the links a few days ago and discovered the Denver Group! I posted their link on my Hillary Supporters forum and donated what I could. Other members of the forum followed suit. I will continue to contribute when I can, as I believe that this is the best way to pro-actively keep Hillary on the ballot, where she belongs.

Comment by Ani | 2008-07-05 02:05:55

Thank you. This really is a great organization committed to preserving a fair convention.

“A dear friend who is a political consultant who once told me: “in politics, you get what you deserve.”

Well, my fellow Democrats, the DNC so badly wanted to back the candidate of “change” — well “change” they shall have.

It has been a mere 3.5 weeks since Hillary Clinton suspended her campaign. Since that time, we are now getting a front row introduction to Barack Obama.

In a mere 26 days, Senator Obama, as advertised, is indeed the candidate of change:

Senator Obama flip-flopped on Jerusalem (within 24 hours);
Senator Obama flip-flopped on NAFTA (remember Ohio - ugh);
Senator Obama flip-flopped on meeting with Iran (that insignificant enemy);
Senator Obama flip-flopped on campaign finance;
Senator Obama flip-flopped on condoning Countrywide (good thing he changed his mind after his own relationship with Northern Trust – to say nothing of Dodd and Johnson);
Senator Obama flip-flopped on the second amendment (DC handgun ban);
Senator Obama flip-flopped on gay marriage (California’s right to gay marriage);
Senator Obama flip-flopped on FISA;

And the grand daddy of ‘em all……

Senator Obama flip-flopped on withdrawing from Iraq (the centerpiece of his primary campaign).

Good news for Senator Obama — we still have 4 months left until the election.

Ah, my dear fellow Democrats, the party surely is getting what it deserves.

And now, let me introduce to you: Barack Obama, the candidate of change!”

 

Comment by TeaMug | 2008-07-04 17:11:26

Can someone put the link up, having trouble with me links!!

The write up is from blogs.abcnews.com on the political radar bit. Here is one quote from the article.

“I promise you that just about 4 months from now, just about 4 months from now we will have won Montana, we will have won the general election, and you and I together we are gonna change this country and we are gonna change the world,” Obama said.

thanks

Comment by Deep Truths | 2008-07-04 17:17:14

Latest poll from CNN regarding New Yorkers and BO. I think it reflects the whole democratic party. No one can ignore the obvious:

(CNN) — One week after Hillary Clinton made a public show of unity with Barack Obama, a new survey suggests supporters of the New York senator are increasingly less likely to follow her lead.

A growing number of Clinton supporters say they may stay home in November instead of casting their ballot for Obama, an indication the party has yet to coalesce around the Illinois senator four weeks after the most prolonged and at times divisive primary race in modern American history came to a close.

According to a new survey from CNN and the Opinion Research Corp., the number of Clinton supporters who say they plan to vote for Obama has dropped from 60 percent to 54 percent, while the number who of them say they would stay home has risen from 22 percent to 32 percent.

Comment by SBwa | 2008-07-04 17:25:53

staying at home won’t be good enough folks.
obama could engage in voting fraud–he’s hired advisers who have been fined by the government for exactly that.
in chicago, the dead vote all the time. we may see dead voters voting for obama.
like it or not, if we fail to get hillary nominated, we’re either going to have to vote for mccain, or convince enough obama voters to vote for nader or the libertarian party candidate.
i think a lot will depend on who each candidate chooses as VP.

Comment by CJ | 2008-07-04 17:43:04

Voter fraud has been one of my biggest worries regarding Obama. Chicago-style politics and taking pages out of the GWB/Rove playbook…I smell more than shit coming down the pike.

 

Comment by imustprotest | 2008-07-04 18:48:45

Maybe that’s who Obama was talking to on Memorial Day….the fallen in the audience…the dead, his core constituency.

Aye… you have to go out and VOTE AGAINST him. Like it or not, you must place a vote for McCain. (and he really isn’t all that bad… espescially in comparison to ovomit.)

Comment by candymarl | 2008-07-04 17:33:40

This is something I haven’t seen on the Democratic side since ‘68. Threats against those who disagree.
Whether you agree with PUMA, DEMSforMcCain, or any other group, they have a right to be heard. Protesting is a right. Or at least it used to be until the “new” Democratic party realized that Right Wing tactics work.

That’s why they want to hold the convention in a stadium. So that any and all disagreement will be stifled.

The masses will be treated to a rally in a stadium. A method used by another leader 60 some-odd years ago. Now who was that? Hmmm.

Comment by campingoutindenver | 2008-07-04 17:43:19

Maybe they can have a unity concert with Up Up With People and Rage Against the Machine.

I think you meant hound antics???

 

Comment by Hysterical Note | 2008-07-04 18:16:29

Yes he did, no, wait.

Actually, the DNC plan is to anoint the big BO so that he can deliver his acceptance speech on the last day of the convention, Aug. 28, a date that coincides with has always been planned to be the same date as MLK’s “I have a Dream” speech.

The only problem with this scenario is BO’s genealogy indicates that he is not African-American, since African ancestry accounts for only 8% and 12% is required fro legal recognition. He is primarily Caucasian and Arab-Semitic. Of course his whole campaign has been about he is not who he appears to be.

 
 

Comment by cleffnote | 2008-07-04 18:58:03

Kennedy did speak at a stadium in Los Angeles, however I need to add that there was most definitely a first vote at the convention. I’m old but my memory is still with me. I need to add though that I did a little reading before making this post and yes, I am correct, there was a first vote at the convention.

Taking Clinton off of the ballot would be the single most effective thing that Obama and the DNC could do to insure that McCain gets elected in November. In addition, who would ever trust the DNC at any time in the future?

I don’t know about you, but for me, all the damage has already been done and cannot be repaired.

If a roll-call vote were held, with all delegates freed to vote their conscience, would you be willing to commit to supporting the resulting democratic nominee, whichever that might be?

If you can answer yes to that, then there’s merit to your position.

If you can’t, you should declare yourself a republican and be done with it.

Comment by alibe4hillary | 2008-07-04 18:35:00

I want to know why he was even asked if he would accept Hillary’s name be put in nomination. Sounds like someone was told to “ask” that question. Why would anyone even think to ask Nobama if HE would allow Hillary’s name to be put in. EXCUSE ME, does that dictator have the right to even comment on that procedure. NOBAMA, NO way, no how, no way!!!!!!!!!
I will vote for McCain in a heart beat. I want Obama to lose more than I don’t want MCcain to win. It is that simple. Four years of McCain would be better than 4 days of Nobama, the coward and criminal.

if there is an open convention allowed, with Hillary’s name on the ballot in the FIRST round, i am willing to wage that oblamer will not be the One who is nominee when the votes are tallied.

therefore…there will be no open convention in denver. the obama coup will make very sure of that. i hope i am wrong on this call, and that the coup will not be allowed to block the vote again.

but…if there should be blocked Democracy and breaking of the law once again
by the Stinky and Co., ….

say hello to President John Sidney McCain.

a patriot elected fairly and openly by republicans, democrats-in-exile, and the newly powerful contingent of independents.

Since when is someone who is down by less than 100 delegates not on the ballot? What is going on? What is he talking about “negotiating”? This is insane,Democrats, if he gets the nomination we have to vote McCain, a stay at home decision is a vote for Obama, right now that’s what the sleaze is counting on. Don’t stay home, vote McCain, as awful as he is, he’s better than this Marxist.

Larry check this video out. At about 3 minutes, HRC talks about the convention. And she says that she has a lot of delegates that want their voices to be heard. It looks like HRC is not going to let them take her name of the ballot.

ELECTABILITY. The only job of the Super Delegates in Denver is to select the candidate able to take back the White House for the Democrats in November, and she is HRC.

The ELECTABILITY WATCH is a no-cost grassroots action to cultivate SDs during the summer leading up to the Convention to remind them of their responsibilities and that we will hold them accountable for fulfilling them by nominating Hillary Clinton.

To participate in the ELECTABILITY WATCH, please go to TOGETHER4US.COM, comments, ELECTABILITY. If you would like to receive a list of 18 SDs, rather than picking your own, please let me know at rrlieberma@gmail.com.

We already have scores of participants but can use many more to get full coverage in order to have maximum impact - to keep the option open for HRC’s nomination.

With Obama morphing in to Bush 3, now is the time to join the ELECTABILITY WATCH and GO GO GO!!!

 

Comment by Anonymous | 2008-07-04 23:57:23

The democratic party has spent nearly a hundred years trying to dismantle our democracy and replace it with various forms of fascism and marxism. Hell, they invented the pattern of political behavior most would label today as fascism. Now, Obama is using those methods to seize control of the party and marginalize the legitimate leader of that party.

Why are democrats surprised about this? Why are they surprised that this sort of behavior has an extreme negative backlash with most folks?

Newsflash. This behavior has severely weakened the democrats politically, time and time again. Rallying against it is the prime motivating force behind the republicans and is the main reason they keep winning elections.

This election, they are more vulnerable than ever. Why? Because Bush acted in a way severely at odds with how democrats want to run the country? No. Because the war is unpopular? Not exactly. People are pissed that so much is going toward the enrichment of people who hate us….NOT because they feel what we did in Iraq was morally wrong in any shape at all. Most people would love to nuke Iraq.

Bush is vulnerable because his policies compromise with the DNC so much that he’s abandoned the conservative agenda and there is widespread sentiment that the entire party has done the same. THAT is why they are vulnerable.

And the dems are going to lost despite this overwhelming advantage because they simply could not bring themselves to simply sit back and be moderates. Instead, we get Barack Hussein Muhammad Farrakahn William Ayers Jeremiah Wright Obama dumbass. The republican base that was prepared to simply sit out the election is looking at this rightly in concern. They will hold their noses and turn out in record numbers for McCain in order to prevent the very real disaster that will happen if the dems get their way with Obama.

At least a large number of dems are waking up to what they’ve done and decided to try and prevent it from continuing. But, how much of this is a simple temper tantrum because your messiah was cast aside for another? Obama is just the latest and biggest losers in a long list of misc. scum the dems have dredged up and tried to ram down an ignorant electorates throats. And both Clintons are on that list for some of the most extreme behaviors (like suspicion of murdering a large number of people who have gotten in their way).

Yeah….that needs to stop.

Until then, sit on it!

PUMApower.org

Ed Hale the rancher from Texas has 6 million hits on his site. + 2 million PUMA members. Those numbers are huge. As many people are not as hooked to the blogosphere as many of us here…How many more are at home saying Ican’t vote for the one who was selected not elected?

Do you think the whatever it is questioning us has enough fingers and toes to count that high?

Never have I experienced such sniveling and crying in a presidental campaign! I mean, she and her supporters are acting very much like women, or rather, teenagers who didn’t get their way! And can somebody tell me what happened to all those 18,000.000 supporters she keeps bragging about when she needed help paying off her debt? Most of these discruntled people are probably Rush’s republican minons who were sent out to vote for her and pad her votes anyways.

Hillary’s name should be on the first ballot and anything to the contrary is not only immoral but illegal under the constitution. (Perhaps Mr. Barry Soeroto should revisit Hemingway, his favorite writer and read his autobiography and his exploits in Cuba..)

Barry Soeroto is only the PRESUMPTIVE nominee. He is not the Nominee!
