1. Contrary to what Obamabots say …
Obama and Hillary were in a dead heat,
when the DNC pressured Hillary into not
only conceding, but campaigning for Obama.
2. Obama is once again in a dead heat, but now
with McCain, even though Obamabots act like
Obama has already won (like they did in the
primaries against Hillary). So, this means that
half of the Democrats, and all the Republicans
(3/4 of America) dIdn’t want Obama. Plus, he
didn’t even win the popular vote, and refused a
revote in Michigan and Florida.
3. Obama has the thinnest resume in politics, and
he won state legislature and Senator by
disqualifications of his opponents, not by earned
experience, or votes.
4. Obama’s one claim to fame is being a community
organizer, where he boasts of registering voters.
Then he took their votes away from them, by
disqualifying his opponents on technicalities, prior
to the election.
5. Obama’s mentor of 20 years, was an anti-American
racist … not to mention other unsavory associations.
6. Obama is simply buying the election, since he’s
good at fund raising … hardly a qualification to be
President of the United States.
7. The media never vetted Obama, and they are
giving him a free ride, plus more than twice the
print and air time as McCain, as they did against
Hillary.
8. 90% of blacks are voting for Obama, because he is
black, while the campaign gained ground by
accusing most opponents of racism.
9. Obamabots were, and are extremely nasty and sarcastic
towards Hillary supporters, as well as McCain supporters.
10. Pumas should be applauded for putting country before party …
especially a party that did not represent them, and a party
which highjacked the nomination for Obama.

REPLACE OBAMA WITH HILLARY AT THE CONVENTION !!!

You need to see this, as nothing of the kind happened.

This entire fiasco is a cynical exercise in propagand by vengeful Hillary supporters who are in denial of reality, and by those on the Right who want to fan the flames of discord within the Democratic Party and take advantage of the chaos and enmity to siphon-off votes for John McCain, who will do nothing but continue the Republican Party’s reign of terror that has nearly destroyed America.

What really happened was very simple. Humbling perhaps, and frustrating perhaps, but nonetheless true.

Hillary’s people believed she was a slam dunk. To their surprise and horror, Obama ran a much better campaign, raised more money than Hillary and came from behind to take a decisive lead.

In the final months of the campaign, Hillary and Bill played major league hard ball Karl Rove style in attacking Obama, and yes THEY played the race card and the sexism card. There is more than abundant proof of this, if you will simply Google the subject and stick to sources of factual information as opposed to partisan commentary from people who are determined to manufacture controversy and smear Obama, no matter what actually happened .

In a final act of desperation as her ship was going down, Hillary’s campaign tried to get the band to play a song by demanding that the DNC reverse its decision to disallow the votes from Michigan and Florida … a rules decision that had been made in full compliance with a signed agreement that was reached early in the campaign between the DNC and all of Democratic contenders, including Clinton and Obama.

There was nothing unfair, prejudicial or crooked in what happened.

Take a look at the video and you will see what Hillary’s campaign manager initially said to the DNC in writing on the subject of the rules agreement, then what Hillary said herself in October 2007 in continuing to agree with the rule, then what they said in the final weeks of the campaign when it was clear that she was about to lose the nomination and they were doing everything possible to avert it.

The DNC has been accused of denying Hillary what was rightfully hers, and Obama has been attacked as the evil and duplicitous equivalent of The Joker who purportedly was behind the injustice. Nothing of the kind is true.

In point of fact, the DNC bent over backwards in trying to resolve the issue equitably. According to the rules and the agreement that had been in place since the beginning of the campaign, the DNC could have and probably should have said NO to Hillary’s last-minute Hail Mary pass. What they did do was compromise, in allowing a proportionately equitable percentage of the votes to count. This is not only NOT unfair, it was a substantial concessions that the DNC did not have to make.

Did Obama’s people object to Hillary’s attempt to get the rules changed at the last minute, for her benefit and no other? Well yes (duh), and rightfully so. Would you be OK with playing poker in a game in which your opponent can get the designated wild cards changed based upon what she’s holding in her hand, or get her pair of Queens to beat your 3 nines when there’s a big pot at stake? No, you wouldn’t, and neither did Barack Obama. He was not one bit out of line in resisting Hillary’s flat-out attempt to “steal” the thing herself. Could we please get real here?

It is abundantly clear that Hillary lost to Obama fair and square, and that the sour grapes and accusations of mistreatment are totally unwarranted.

For some of Hillary’s supporters to refuse to support the candidate she has personally asked you to support, and to be cooking up schemes for derailing the Convention and throwing the election to another Republican, is an unimaginable ruthless, malevolent and selfish thing to do. You ought to be ashamed of yourselves.

Since I live in a very red state, I can abstain with no worry that McCain won’t win the electoral votes.

THE WHITEY TAPE HAS LANDED!!!!!

…

The party has become so undemocratic, are they democrats now or have they simply adopted the rules of the GOP????

No longer can the Party Dean indicate they care about every vote counting. They didnt count them!!!

Obama has made promises and already flip flopped.
The more I see he in action, the more the truth of Bill Clintons remark that his position on the war and how he WOULD Have voted is a FAIRY TALE. HE proved that already with FISA and Faith Based Initiatives. Clinton was not being racist, Bill was simply evaluating the man and the way he votes. Present always in Illinois but rarely with a definitive stand.

Let Dean and company know that we do not support the nomination of an inexperience, arrogant and unpredictable nominee.

This movement needs to focus on the party processes and demand, demand, demand change. The ONLY way we’re going to accomplish that is by voting smart and backing candidates whom we persuade to run on OUR values.

First order of the day after this fiasco is over: Revision of the distribution of delegates. We saw all too clearly how this ruined it for the party. Traditional, truly registered Democrats, voted in state after state for Hillary. Obama got very little support from them. Yet, he got an inordinate number of delegates out of the system.

Second order of the day are DNC rules about caucuses, two-stepping, and a consistent guidelines that allow for oversight. I wouldn’t suggest we go back to IDs. That smacks of voter repression, and we’ve been there, done that. I would suggest we go to caucus rules that are uniform, including how to count the popular vote and turn in numbers.

Third order of the day is to eliminate SDs entirely. Obviously, that was a plan that worked in the past and failed now. Pelosi and Dean sold the country on the notion that the one with the most delegates wins. OK, but then there’s no need for SDs at all. That’s a rubber-stamp deal. So eliminate them. End of story. She sold that concept down the river, so let them suffer the consequences of it.

Fourth order of the day is re-establish the importance of campaign finance reform. Obama has trashed it. This business of grass-roots is great, but the money being spent is obscene and wasteful. Hillary raised shitloads of money and it wasn’t enough? That’s nuts. No candidate needs to run ads like Obama did or even put that many paid staffers in states. It’s going to completely ruin elections and we’ll pay the price even more than in the past.

Fifth order of the day is a DNC methodology for vetting candidates. I’d like to see a standard set for disclosure. Let’s get this crap out of the campaign rhetoric altogether. Pinch it in the bud. Require tax returns, birth certificates, school records, work resumes, etc. up front.

I can think of other improvements, but there is a lot we could change that would stop the chaos.

Enough already of the manipulations.

I think I also should have written ultra conservative or ultra liberal stances so long as they also work with the other side. They wouldn’t very well be Democrats or Republicans if they didn’t have conservative or liberal ideas.

The ACLU might participate in a class action suit on the grounds of sexual discrimination or harrasment by the media. Do you think? It would be too little and too late to change the outcome of the convention, but it could change media coverage in the future.

I’m no longer declared so I get to choose the party ticket I wish to vote on. I think from now on I’m going to be looking at their records closely and only voting for those that do work with the other side on both sides. No more radicals on either side. I don’t mind Republicans being conservative on some issues, or Democrats being liberal on some issues. I just want to see and know they also work as well with the other side. Together for us all. Life is full of compromises, they need to get over themselves and know it’s no different for them.
