“Babylon”

Dear Goddess, I am SO pissed off today. Why you might ask? Well, take a look at this. I’ll wait: The 2008 Convention: Tuesday, August 26th – Renewing America’s Promise
Okay – what did you see? As promised, Hillary Clinton will be speaking – among 274 other people. Okay – not really that many, but now she is one of TEN – 10 – speakers. Oh, yes – all kinds of people are thrown in there. I guess this way, they can try and (micro)manage her impact on the Convention crowd. But get THIS: SHE is not the Keynote Speaker. Oh, no – that honor goes to FORMER Governor of the Commonwealth of Virginia, Mark Warner. Who, you say?? Yeah. See, I know him because I lived in Virginia when he was governor. But really – seriously – honestly – out of ALL the people Obama could have picked (and HE is the one who sets the schedule), he picked Mark Warner. Yep.
Oh, but wait. It gets even better than this. The candidate Planned Parenthood and NARAL picked, Planned Parenthood for the second time EVER with a presidential candidate, that one? Barack Obama? Guess who he picked to speak that night? Bob Casey of Pennsylvania. No, I am not kidding! He DID! On the anniversary of Women’s Suffrage, not only did he not pick a WOMAN for Keynote Speaker, but he picked an ANTI-CHOICE Senator to speak on the anniversary of Women’s Suffrage!! Can you just IMAGINE – just IMAGINE, the hew and cry if it was ANY OTHER MAJOR GROUP, and someone who was opposed to their ability to CHOOSE their own course in life, was picked to speak?? You know people would be going NUTS. Rightly so. What a slap in the face.
And if this is not enough to get your blood boiling (just consider this a cardiovascular workout, courtesy of Barack Obama – he’s such a giver), there are only FIVE – 5 – speakers on Monday night, August 25th. No, I am not kidding. Senator Clinton gets squeezed like a lemon, but MICHELLE OBAMA will kick everything off, being introduced by her BROTHER. And Obama’s sister, the one who has his same BIRTH CERTIFICATE NAME, Soetoro, will be there, too. So, it’s Family Night at the DNC Convention. Oh, and Claire McCaskill and Nancy Pelosi will round out that evening. I am sure you are ALL dying to see THAT. Hahahahaha!!!! Yeah, me neither.
So, here it is – a BIG F-U to women in general, and Hillary in particular, courtesy of Barack Obama, the Big Uniter. Oh, he’s a uniter alright – uniting us in hatred of him and the DNC. And the DNC bears HUGE responsibility for not just shoring up, but PICKING the most unqualified, inexperienced, arrogant, narcissisitc, sexist candidate I have seen in my entire life. The one who, having mostly his family speak on August 25th, has almost completed the DNC becoming the BOC. Yes, the transformation is almost complete. Thanks, Howard, Nancy, Donna, Ted, John, John, Claire, et. al., for propping up the worst candidate EVER. And for stabbing in the back one of the BEST candidates ever, while also twisting the blade in for all women. That takes some doing, but somehow you managed it. What pieces of work, the whole lot of them…
So, yes – “Babylon” it is.

("This crazy redhead is on to something. Her pink Rambler story alone is worth the price of the book," writes 
- “Richard Sale’s reportage on Washington, the CIA, the American armed forces, and foreign intrigue has created a perfect background for this account of the steady growth of President Clinton as a master of the game of nations.”--W. Patrick Lang, former head of Middle East Operations, DIA
"Anne C. Heller's stunning biography of Ayn Rand" uses a "plethora of newly unearthed research and fresh insight."
Now that Hillary is accepting her right to a floor vote, how is it that Obama still controls the convention?
He is in no different position than her. If he wins the roll call vote and she had no say in the convention speakers or program, then he still has not won fair and square.
Ah, now you are starting to get it.
Obama won.
Do you think Invesco is just going to change the signs to Hillary and the 70k people will still show up?
Will the Dems cancel it last second? How about the networks that are spending millions?
This whole thing has been one large destructive illusion from the get go.
Obama won because he played within the rules better than Hillary.
She knows it, he knows it, and most everyone at the convention will be behind the winner, despite what a few republicans pretending to be Democrats would have you believe.
oh plleeez. “Playing within the roolz” means huge assists from the MSM and money from Wall Street because they want “change” and they’re low-information voters. He “played nothing” well — except gamesmanship. That’s not a leader of anything, and Mr. Uniter has united nothing. Looks pretty substanceless to me.
I love the way Obamaboil Dritches hangs out here for hours, just hoping–with each new commentary–to be the first troll to spew.
You really need to get a summer job, Dritches.
No, as I said, we get it…you and your underhung leader who had to be affirmative actioned into TYING with the woman he outspent, is now statistically tied with the old decrepit Republican.
If you aren’t the most pathetic propper-upper of limpdom ever beheld!
Poor little patched Britches.
Thank zee. Your true colors on display.
you mean the true colors that obama displayed like when he wanted to reinstate the delegates from florida and michigan after disenfranchising them from a re-vote and stipped clinton’s 4 delegates as well as the uncommitted delegates when he took his name off the ballots himself for political motivations?
Didn’t your mama teach you not to speak with your mouth full?
Oh…I see….it’s far from full in THIS case.
Fucking RED White AND BLUE are the colors, Dritches, you dipshit.
Constitution, Country, PUMA in that order.
And as far I am concerned I could care less about what signs are diplayed at Invesco field.
Affirmative Action means equal opportunity for those who are underrepresented AND QUALIFIED.
How do you think women were able to break into working in television, other media, and corporate positions of power. Are these women on TV unqualified because many got in through Affirmative Action, especially in the 1970s and 80s?
Affirmative action is a QUOTA to give certain people a
hand outopportunity regardless of whether they are qualified or not!Affirmative action is a QUOTA to give certain people a
hand outopportunity regardless of whether they are qualified or not!AND IT WAS ORIGINALLY DESIGNED TO LEVEL THE PLAYING FIELD FOR WOMEN TO ENTER FIELDS THEY ARE QUALIFIED FOR! SO THEY WOULDN’T BE KEPT OUT EVEN IF THEY ARE QUALIFIED LIKE THEY HAD BEEN SHUT OUT.
that’s not true. Affirmative Action was never created for women, it was always intended for African Americans.
I don’t want to argue over it or anything, but I need to make corrections when necessary.
“Are these women on TV unqualified because many got in through Affirmative Action, especially in the 1970s and 80s?”
Short answer, YES. SOME of the women in television news are qualified, as are SOME of the men. More so in the 70’s and 80’s than now. Sadly most of the reporters now in TV news went into the field in the hopes that they will make a financial or social killing by meeting and marrying someone rich ala Andrea Mitchell or Julie Chen.
I worked in TV news in a major west coast market for 4 years. Most of the reporter/anchors (MEN as well as women) are simply news READERS, they are NOT journalists. They don’t go out and investigate anything. They don’t write anything. Most of their stories are taken directly from Reuters or the AP with a little editing here and there to suit their style. Nothing is edited for accuracy or fact checked.
As for reporting, they simply show up at a scene and get reaction. “Reporters” spend more time on their hair and make-up than they do on a story. Of the group of male and female divas I worked with only ONE of them actually “worked” a story and bothered to check facts or do any background research – and she was the health reporter!!!
I will never forget the night our female anchor was getting ready to go on air. She used an eyelash curler and in the process pulled out some lashes. It was 5 minutes before air time and she REFUSED to go on. She actually left the building to go to Nordstrom and have false eyelashes professionally applied so she could go on at 11.
Believe anything you see and hear on TV news at your own risk.
Let’s not forget who won the vote of we the people.Big margins in big states. The popular vote is Hillary all the way. She won in double digits in all the states where democrats live. Hillary won the vote of the people of the party.
Our voices have been silenced.
NO ONE WON.
America lost
One thing that is evident from Barry Soetoro’s Indonesian & Islamic upbringing is his disrespect for women.
He certainly has very little understanding of middle class Americans — MAINLAND Americans, rural Americans. He is so unfit, unready and unprepared to be President that it would be an act of kindness to vote for the other guy.
There is no longer a Democrat party — it is OFFICIALLY the Obamacrat Pary.
Now we understand why the founding fathers put the second Amendment in the Constitution.
This has certainly been the most educational Campaign in memory. Now it is my right as an American citizen to vote for the other guy — the proven leader and patriot, in order to save this country.
Yes Yes Yes!!! Country before party. If not Hillary then Mccain. I will not give them my vote by staying home.
You make me ashamed to be a PUMA. Shame.
If you’re a little frightened then you aren’t a PUMA.
LOL, give ‘em hell, Zee. It always brightens my day.
Nice, Zee! Do you teach your children to talk like you do? Classy!
And ?
Raised mine not to take crap from anyone. SO?
By the way, if you go to the Convention notice of the Tuesday night line up, Hillary Clinton is mentioned in the last paragraph only, as an afterthought. And her name is the only of the speakers that evening that is not in “bold.” NUTS. I will vote republican for the first time in almost 40 years of casting ballots in every primary, local, state and national election!
The 2008 Convention: Tuesday, August 26th – Renewing America’s Promise

The 2008 Convention: Tuesday, August 26th – Renewing America’s Promise August 13, 2008
Key Speakers on the Economy to Include Governors Napolitano, Patrick, Rendell, Schweitzer, Sebelius & Strickland; Senator Bob Casey, Jr. & Federico Peña
DENVER – With millions of Americans struggling to get by, the Democratic National Convention Committee (DNCC) and the Obama for America Campaign announced today that some of America’s strongest leaders on the economy and energy will speak about how to renew America’s promise on Tuesday night of the Convention. America’s top Governors, Senators and a former Secretary of Energy and Transportation will echo Barack Obama’s call for a new economy with new energy.
Tuesday night’s featured speakers include Convention Co-Chair Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius and Arizona Governor Janet Napolitano, both early supporters of Barack Obama, who will outline his detailed economic plan to grow the economy, create jobs, restore fairness and expand opportunity.
Governors Ted Strickland of Ohio and Ed Rendell of Pennsylvania will discuss how the failed policies of the last eight years have betrayed our values and left an economy out of balance.
Barack Obama believes you can’t have a strong economy when you have a weak middle class, and speakers like Senator Bob Casey, Jr. of Pennsylvania and Governor Deval Patrick of Massachusetts will share how Obama’s policies have been directly shaped by the people he has met as he traveled the country.
Building on Obama’s New Economy with New Energy message, Governor Brian Schweitzer of Montana and Federico Peña, former Mayor of Denver and Secretary of both Energy and Transportation, will speak about the nexus between energy and the economy and highlight new and innovative policies to help working families in rural, urban and suburban communities.
As announced earlier this week, Mark Warner, former Governor of Virginia, will deliver the Convention’s keynote address, and Senator Hillary Clinton, who is a champion for working families and one of the most effective and empathetic voices in the country today, will be the headline prime-time speaker on Tuesday night.
That he played by the rules is true. What you left out is that the rules were set up to allow him to win. You can slice that bullshit of yours as thin as you like but it is still bullshit.
That is hysterical. The rules were set up by Clinton loyalists, such as Ickes and Terry McA. They planned a front-loaded schedule to benefit the front-runner. They thought there was no way any other candidate could raise enough money and get enough support to compete with the inevitable one.
That is exactly right. The released memos show a campaign desperate to create a reason for staying in the race, and a team desperate to come up with a way to get the needed FL/MI delegates.
The spin repeated here as fact makes me dizzy.
Wow the trolls got new talking points.
Yeah, and the out in force, too. They always do that when they’re anxious.
Yes, indeed.
You know how there’s a herd of cows, a litter of puppies, a flock of geese?
Why, what we see here is a FRIGHT of TROLLS.
They sure are scared–the lead troll today, I noticed, decided to eschew his OCD medication–he thinks he’s sharp as a tack, when in actuality, he’s showing us precisely how scared they all are. He’s spinning, flailing, “quipping” like a nitwit, and behaving like an unmitigated ass.
No one who is winning would act like he’s doing.
He apparently didn’t get the KOS memo to not troll…I guess people ARE noticing what assholes Obama supporters are, and the blowback is translatable into lost votes. If he’s helping anyone, it’s ABB–”Anybody But Barack.”
YEP, the fluffers got their new talking with their mouths HALF full points.
Debbie does Denver…I’m so sure it was HILLARY who decided the convention would be held almost two months late so the FIX could speak on the anniversary of MLK’s “I Have a Dream” speech.
Tell us another. After you’re done trying to fluff.
Debbie does Denver.

Debbie gets sick from all the excitement of the coming Denver Convention and has to stay Home.
If you are dizzy, sit down, put your head between your legs, and shove it up your ass.
The warmth might bring some blood back to that empty spot where your brain used to be, ya terrified troll.
Can ANYONE on this blog respond to politely worded posts without being hysterical, vulgur, and just nasty? Is BULLYING that you all resort to. Has anyone here won on logic? Or do you all resort to namecalling when you can’t use logic?
You haven’t been here before, apparently. Come back a few times and you’ll get the picture. Logic doesn’t work when your opponent is a brainwashed, brain-dead cultist. You be the judge of who the cult members are.
Spin? No one can spin with the likes of you and your other personality Little Debbie. You’re two of those newfangled Quasar hots who spin so fast you change the story before it even happens.
Dritches;
ALL YOUR CHILDREN ARE POOR
UNFORTUNATE VICTIMS OF
SYSTEMS BEYOND THEIR CONTROL
A PLAGUE UPON YOUR IGNORANCE & THE GRAY
DESPAIR OF YOUR UGLY LIFE
whatever; hill got as many or more votes as obama did and she won the states that will actually vote democrat in november. sorry, but obama’s wins in WY, UT, and Idaho really don’t amount to a hill of beans. too bad the super delagtes allowed money and infatuation to cloud their judgement.
Shift change over in Obamabotland and here’s the Snack-Queen Troll herself.
You are parroting points made by the talking gasbags on TV. Don’t you have an original thought, Little Debbie?
BTW: How was your stint in Dallas?
Gawd Fer,
I always lol when I read your “Little Debbie” and think about the snacks. How funny. I wish the trolls would find some other playground.
Debbie goes to Denver and has to be rushed, upon her arrival, to a nearby hospital for dehydration and altitude sickness.
Debbie misses the convention. Hillary becomes the nominee! Obama bows out due to unknown factors to the shock of all his fans.
What’s the fascination with porn on this site?
It’s an homage to Bob Herbert.
Barry you mean?
So you don’t consider it weird that Howard Dean’s net gurus signed on to Barackula’s campaign waaaay before the primary?
Don’t you consider that interesting, and an obvious bias from the DNC CHAIR!??!
obama race baited his entire way through the freakin campaign, and now he tried it on McCain…but McCain can slap him down like the loser he is.
You, Little Debbie, are a prevaricator of the worst sort. You have lied about what you do, who you are, and who you know.
You are a troll and a ham-fisted one, at that. Would uyou like me to continue?
No, Obmaba broke the rules. He and his did NOT play by the rules.
On May 31, Votes were taken at
“lunchtime” in direct violation of the sunshine rules that say, all business to be conducted with full access by public.
No secret votes.
Yet, that’s just what they did.They extended their “lunch” and casually decided Obama get everything and a a gift of 4 of Hillary’s delegates.They had a secret vote.
If that isn’t a blatant and brash corruption of the rules than there are NO rules.
We’ve been had
The only campaign to show ads in Florida in the primaries was Ob ama. Only the One ran ads there in direct violation of rules.
(trolls, i already heard the standard excuse about national ad buys and all that baloney, so spare us)
I saw the one he ran and spoke to Floridians who saw and heard Obama ads.
He broke that rule and it’s a biggie.
Yet, so called “journalists” mouth the same old line in every discussion of the Florida debacle.They all end with ” None of the candidates campaigned in the state.”
On to weather….
Yet we know this to be untrue.
What consequence did the O camp pay for breaking that rule?
nada.
I only know of 1 person supporting Obama, he is a TEAMSTER OFFICIAL and Obama promised the TEAMSTERS he would remove Gov’t Justice Dept. oversight of the TEAMSTERS. This would leave the workers unprotected against the gangsters.
You must know very few people…
Within the rules… Ok…. but for the little detail that THE RULES had been changed and taylor made for the O. So, we are enforcing the last rule they did not change, her RIGHT to have her name enter in nomination and a roll call. But, guess since you are so found of rules, there are still plenty of them out there. Like no dual citizenship for POTUS. Beware PUMAS are good with rules too.
Ah – you mean he played within the “roolz” better – that’s fershure, dritches!
- The “roolz” that say when NOBODY voted for obama in Michigan, the “roolz” committee can give ALL UNCOMMITTED (meaning NOT FOR OBAMA) votes to obama! “Get over it!”
- The “roolz” that say “EARNING DELEGATES (that results from having the VOTES) does not determine HAVING DELEGATES – oh no no – what determines HAVING DELEGATES is what the “roolz” committee wants to do for barry. So if the “roolz” committee decides to give Clinton’s EARNED delegates to barry, who didn’t EARN them, well, too bad, them there’s THE ROOLZ – get over it!
- The “roolz” that say if enough people SAY that barry WON, even though he didn’t, THEN IT’S GAME OVER. The “roolz” say MIGHT MAKES RIGHT – and the louder and more cruel and obnoxious you are about it, the more right you are. The “roolz” have spoken! Doncha see? barry won “fair and square!” And all you sticklers for those ancient, 20th century RULES, tsk tsk tsk…you’re just not being “gracious.” You need to “Get over it!”
barfy and the dnc and the media didn’t play by THEIR OWN RULES – or THE RULES OF COMMON DECENCY AND FAIRNESS. They made up “the roolz” – and destroyed the democratic party in the process.
Congratulations to the WEINERS!
Yea…
20,000 votes should equal the same amount of delegates as 2,000,000. That’s what happened to Hillary.
What part of NECK AND NECK do you not get “dritches”?
What part of SHE WON ALL MAJOR STATES…at the END of the Primary do you not get, “dritches”?
What part of “5 states broke the RBC’s rules, but only Michigan and Florida were penalized do you not get?
What part of the RBC went above and beyond it’s own penalty of 50% of delegates not counting, to 100%?
What part of race baiting by lying with a “leaked memo” about “racially sensitive comments” barackula accused the Clintons of making?
RACE BAITING, INADEQUATE, DUMMY.
Affirmative action candidate, 2008!
Shove aside the more capable woman for a mixed heritage know-nothing.
Because he’s “mixed heritage” and will do WHATEVER his big money supporters tell him to do,
(say it with me)
JUST LIKE GEORGE W. BUSH
Racist, are we? I am amazed at how many of you there are on this hate and anger filled site.
just for the sake of argument, if that statement (”affirmative action candidate”) were 100% true would it still be “racist?” i mean, seriously, you don’t think that people are going to notice that the LEAST QUALIFIED candidate out of the entire democratic field ends up getting the nomination, and he just happens to be black? sorry, but that’s a reality you’re going to have hard time covering up.
Won???? Hillary WON by over a quarter of a MILLION more VOTES! Nobama was selected by the Dean/Pelosi cabal NOT elected by the majority of Americans.
PUMA
YES AND THAT’S NOT COUNTING ALL THE VOTES FOR HILLARY THAT OBAMA PAID CAUCUS WORKERS THREW IN THE TRASH. IT’S DOCUMENTED THAT IN GUAM ALONE THERE WERE 8500 HILLARY VOTES THROWN IN THE TRASH. NO NEWS EVER IF THEY WERE PUT BACK ONTO HER COUNT.
SOORRRY FOR THE CAPS-I’M not yelling.
CheapEmptyMind, don’t believe everything you read on the internets; there are other folks whose IQ is even lower than yours, if that is possible.
There certainly are and they’re called Obama supporters, generally, and obamatrons, specifically, when they come here to throw feces.
Oh bite me, he did not win fair and square and remember, you heard it here……HE WILL NOT WIN the election in November.
Sorry. My take is people like YOU are the Republicans pretending to be Democrats.
All you’re doing is persuading the McKinney voters to say “Screw the protest vote” and get serious, and vote twice–once against Obama, and by filling in the circle next to McCain, against him again.
Keep up the good work, Brownie. Rove loves ya!
They were trying to pin that one on Darragh yet again on NBC tonight.
You must be pissing your pants and trying to calm yourself down by telling everyone the Old world Dem base are Repubs…whistling in the dark now are you?
Dritches, Obama won?
And what is it he has won?
Not my vote, not my respect, in point of fact he not won anything. Not in in tire life has Barry Soetoro won anything. Not his fathers or stepfathers love, not his grandmothers love not his grandfathers love, not his mothers love….he has been rejected all his born days. Nothing has changed. Barry Soetoro is not legally entitled to be POTUS.
Hey fool – Obama won because of a few reasons – and because he played by the media rules is onje of em…(remember during the Geffen flap[ in the very beginning when Robt Gibbs – that fat punk – said that the Clintons had “sold out the Lincoln bedroom? Obama won the media because they saw that he was willing taccept the sliming of the Clintons…that along with their plan to define the Clintons and her supporters as RACISTS and getting a hell of a lot of dumb sons of bitches to buy that RIDICULOUS SLANDER is why Obam is the nominee. Get a clue you dumb bastard!
I have worked in Dem politics for many years – was a classmate of Obama’s at Columbia (I got in the ol’ fashioned way – unlike Barry and his terrifyingly stupid wife – by the way)and there is no way in hell that I will EVER vote for that false, phonie, inexperienced, unaccomplished piece of crap…never!
Luckily I like and respect McCain and Id like to see him in the White House – as long with letting the GOP take the burden and blame for the coming economic mess…then in 2012….it will be Clinton time again and you morons will be shunned for the damage your type has done to MY Party and our Country.
JESUS!
Get your head out of your Obama loving ass already and come up for air! It’s embarassing to see a grown man.(.you are a man right ) suck ass the way you do!
You have got to be kidding me!!!! BARRY SOETRO,PLAYED WITHIN THE RULES?…GIVE ME A DAMN BREAK!
You are sooo right.
There’s a small possibility that everybody has a change of heart and goes with Edwards. Edwards needs to get in on the convention organisin’. We need to hear from Rielle Hunter.

Pelosi, Pickens plan to pick your pocket
House Speaker, billionaire behind ‘going green’ racket
Posted: August 12, 2008
9:48 pm Eastern
© 2008 WorldNetDaily

T. Boone Pickens, Rep. Nancy Pelosi
TV commercials touting a new clean energy strategy and an environmental ballot measure in California both have one thing in common: if they succeed, they’ll make #HYPERLINK “http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=72225″ \l “”investors – from “big oil” to the U.S. Capitol – a lot of money.
The ads champion Texas oil billionaire T. Boone Pickens’ “Pickens Plan” to move our nation from foreign oil dependence to domestically produced wind power and natural gas fuel for automobiles. The plan is touted as a cleaner, more eco-friendly alternative to our current reliance on coal power and gasoline.
The ballot initiative is California’s Proposition 10, known as the California #HYPERLINK “http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=72225″ \l “”Renewable Energy and Clean Alternative Fuel Act, which would spend $5 billion in California bond money ($10 billion by the time the interest is paid, according to the L.A. Times) to promote natural gas as an cleaner alternative for automobile and truck fuel.
Not surprisingly, the nation’s largest provider of natural gas for transportation, Clean Energy Fuels Corporation (alternatively known as CLNE) has a great deal to gain from the adoption of Pickens’ fuel strategy and the passage of Proposition 10. In fact, according to the California Secretary of State website, CLNE has contributed $3,247,250 to supporting Proposition 10’s passage.
CLNE, however, was formerly known as Pickens Fuel after its primary investor, T. Boone Pickens.
While Pickens touts a plan in the name of environmentalism that will also line his company’s pockets, a #dontgo investigation has revealed that another environmental champion and backer of Proposition 10 has also invested in CLNE: House Speaker and California Representative Nancy Pelosi.
According to the investigation, “Nancy Pelosi Purchased between $50,000-$100,000 in CLNE #HYPERLINK “http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=72225″ \l “”stock on May 25, 2007, apparently on its initial public offering.”
Now the California representative stands to make a large profit on her reported 22,000 #HYPERLINK “http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=72225″ \l “”shares of CLNE if she and other public figures can persuade the people of California to vote for Proposition 10 in the name of renewable energy and clean, alternative fuels.
In an L.A. Times editorial, Anthony Rubenstein was highly critical of Proposition 10, calling the measure billed as an environmental altruism a “raid on California’s general fund” to support “Pickens’ self-serving national gas agenda.”
“The initiative deceptively reads like it’s supporting all alternative-fuel vehicles and renewable energy sources,” Rubenstein wrote. “But a closer read finds a laundry list of cash grabs. … Much of the measure’s billions could benefit Pickens’ company to the exclusion of almost all other clean-vehicle fuels and technology.”
Rubenstein also noted that Proposition 10 charges environmentally conscious Californians with the bill for an initiative that may not benefit California at all.
“Even worse, private trucking and delivery companies could buy 5,000 natural gas trucks, collect California taxpayer-funded rebates of $200 million or more and immediately send those fleets out of state,” he wrote. “It’s like asking California voters to finance a new bridge with taxpayer dollars, without mentioning that the bridge could be in Ohio.”
As #HYPERLINK “http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=70729″WND reported earlier, Pickens touting of wind power is also tainted by his opportunity to profit, as The Economist reports Pickens’ #HYPERLINK “http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=72225″ \l “”oil company, Mesa Oil, has invested $2 billion to build the world’s largest wind farm in Pampa, Texas.
If the “Pickens Plan” calling for more wind power and natural gas fuel is implemented, it will further the billionaire’s other ventures as well, including a major land and water investment in the Texas panhandle that would essentially enable Pickens’ companies to control a water pipeline the way petroleum companies control oil supplies.
The venture, according to the Terrell Tribune, includes forming a fresh water district in Texas’ western panhandle and spending over $100 million to acquire rights-of-way through as many as 12 counties to ship the water to water-needy Texas cities. Part of selling the plan to investors and thirsty municipalites, some of whom have balked at the idea of private water control, is coupling the water pipeline with power lines from Mesa Oil’s massive wind farm.
“It is hard to tell if the water scheme is the device being used to seize the land or if the wind turbine scheme is the means by which he will fund the water scheme,” wrote William R. Collier Jr. in the #dontgo investigation that uncovered the link between Pickens and Pelosi.
Collier further speculated Pelosi’s investment partnership with Pickens will profit them both.
“No matter what the case may be, Nancy Pelosi will personally profit from whatever (Pickens) does as an investor.”
Collier points out that Pelosi is one of the richest members of Congress and that her #HYPERLINK “http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=72225″ \l “”wealth comes primarily from investments, real estate and “now, of course, stocks in CLNE.”
Likewise, Collier pointed to potential benefits for Pickens to have Pelosi’s support, not only for the legislation CLNE wants passed, but also for her help with touting his “Pickens Plan”.
“While the stock was initially offered at $14 and is now valued below that amount, the low of $10 in early July of this year is bouncing back,” wrote Collier, “especially in light of ads by Pickens and growing consensus that the Pickens plan will gain support, especially if Pelosi is firmly behind it.”
I’m sorry but I’m a little confused. Isn’t there a secret ballot vote in the country that prides itself on democracy. What’s this business with a roll call vote. That’s not a ballot. Is it a ballot or isn’t it? Confused
Of course. In every general election it is secret ballot.
But like the republican party, the Democratic party has rules and procedures which all candidates running for that party agree to.
Do you mean like these rules fool!!!
Ladies & Gentlemen, this whole mess surrounding the state delegations from Florida and Michigan is a result of the Rules & Bylaws Committee of the Democratic National Committee not strictly adhering to the 2008 Delegate Selection Rules for the Democratic National Convention by applying the rules equally and fairly to all states.
Rule 11.A. of the Delegate Selection Rules for the 2008 Democratic National Convention states the following:
11. TIMING OF THE DELEGATE SELECTION PROCESS
A. No meetings, caucuses, conventions or primaries which constitute the first determining stage in the presidential nomination process (the date of the primary in primary states, and the date of the first tier caucus in caucus states) may be held prior to the first Tuesday in February or after the second Tuesday in June in the calendar year of the national convention. Provided, however, that the Iowa precinct caucuses may be held no earlier than 22 days before the first Tuesday in February; that the Nevada first-tier caucuses may be held no earlier than 17 days before the first Tuesday in February; that the New Hampshire primary may be held no earlier than 14 days before the first Tuesday in February; and that the South Carolina primary may be held no earlier than 7 days before the first Tuesday in February. In no instance may a state which scheduled delegate selection procedures on or between the first Tuesday in February and the second Tuesday in June 1984 move out of compliance with the provisions of this rule.
We already know that Florida and Michigan violated Rule 11.A. by moving their primaries to a date before the first Tuesday in February. There is no argument there, but what about Iowa, New Hampshire, and yes, South Carolina too.
Rule 11.A specifically set the date for the primaries & caucuses for those three states as “no earlier than 22 days before the first Tuesday in February” (Iowa), “no earlier than 14 days before the first Tuesday in February” (New Hampshire), and “no earlier than 7 days before the first Tuesday in February” (South Carolina).
Iowa held their caucuses on January 3rd. That’s more than 22 days before the first Tuesday in February. New Hampshire held their primary on January 8th. That’s more than 17 days before the first Tuesday in February. And South Carolina held their primary on January 26th. That’s more than 7 days before the first Tuesday in February.
Under Rule 11.A., five states were in violation of the Democratic National Committee’s Delegate Selection Rules, and as such, all five states should have been punished under Rule 20.C.1.a.
Violation of timing: In the event the Delegate Selection Plan of a state party provides or permits a meeting, caucus, convention or primary which constitutes the first determining stage in the presidential nominating process to be held prior to or after the dates for the state as provided in Rule 11 of these rules, or in the event a state holds such a meeting, caucus, convention or primary prior to or after such dates, the number of pledged delegates elected in each category allocated to the state pursuant to the Call for the National Convention shall be reduced by fifty (50%) percent, and the number of alternates shall also be reduced by fifty (50%) percent. In addition, none of the members of the Democratic National Committee and no other unpledged delegate allocated pursuant to Rule 8.A. from that state shall be permitted to vote as members of the state’s delegation. In determining the actual number of delegates or alternates by which the state’s delegation is to be reduced, any fraction below .5 shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number, and any fraction of .5 or greater shall be rounded up to the next nearest whole number.
Yes, you read that right; under Rule 20.C.1.a., Florida, Iowa, Michigan, New Hampshire, and South Carolina would have all lost their super delegates and had their pledged delegates reduced by half since they all violated Rule 11.A.
However, Iowa, New Hampshire, and South Carolina weren’t punished fairly. In fact, they weren’t punished at all.
And what about Florida & Michigan?
Well, we all know what happened to them.
Instead of strictly adhering to Rule 20.C.1.a. and reducing their pledged delegates by 50%, the DNC Rules & Bylaws Committee decided to take it a step further. The DNC Rules & Bylaws Committee exercised the authority granted to them by Rules 20.C.5. and 20.C.6. which allowed them to “impose sanctions the Committee deems appropriate.” And what were those sanctions the Committee deemed appropriate? Stripping two of the largest states in the union of all their votes at the 2008 Democratic National Convention.
Ladies & Gentlemen, this is what happens when the rules aren’t applied equally and fairly. And as I said before, this mess is a result of the DNC Rules & Bylaws Committee not applying the rules equally and fairly.
So, the next time someone starts talking about the rules, might I suggest two courses of action:
1.) Read the damn rules first!
-and-
2.) Let them know that the rules were bent to allow for Iowa, New Hampshire, and South Carolina to keep their preferred first-in-the-nation status.
HARP, it is pointless to list the actual rules to an OBAMAFLUFFER.
Simply laugh at the size of the noodle they are trying so hard to fluff.
Angelhair, overcooked.
Why did Hillary and her people on the RBC argree to the rules last year before any voting took place?
Why?
Why didn`t the DNC punish the other 3 states….why.
Ask Hillary’s people on the RBC why they didn’t vote to sanction anyone else.
To pretend that the RBC didn’t have Clinton people making these decisions is just dishonest.
No this fix was started in 2004. You haven’t done your research. If this had been an honest above board election as oppose to SELECTION we wouldn’t be so outraged ASSHOLE for O-Hole. Of course you misogynist love to think we’re just hysterical women.
Depart obamabot or operation chaos troll.
“ASSHOLE for O-Hole” – thanks for the laugh, roseeriter!!!
Btw, this Obama troll has been wreaking havoc on the posts here. Gee – I guess a little glimpse of DEMOCRACY is freaking them out (that Clinton is actually going to be on the ballot, an act that NEVER should have been in doubt in the first place. Pre-Obama/Dean, it never was.).
Every post is evidence of the deep fear the O-camp is feeling.
If they had this thing all sewn up, they wouldn’t be here.
They are scared shitless–and this guy is just one of the many who are pantwettingly frightened.
And they should be.
They may win the battle, but they’re gonna lose the fucking war.
wooooooohoooooooooooooo you go!
Because the other 3 states moved to stay ahead of MI and FL, as they were supposed to be. Do you really feel they should have been subjected to the same penalties as MI and FL?
Dean knew Hillary would win big in Florida and Michiganistan, which she did, that is why he took ALL of their Delegates. Why does DEAN and the DNC think they should decide when a state has a Primary?? These Primaries are paid for by TAXPAYERS, not DEAN or the DNC.
Jesus. Stop believing things that are NOT true.
Wolfson and Ickes voted to strip FL and MI.
Stop repeating falsehoods.
Sarcasm is just one more service we offer.
Dritches is a republican troll with operation chaos. Ignore the jerk.
Yep–and he’s scared, too!
Nah, he’s from KAOS (on the old Get Smart series) and just as dumb.
Dritches, just give up. These folks are so full of anger, hate, self-pity, and racism, that logic just flies right past them.
Bless you Harp, but they do not care, they are here out of fear and nothing more. Not the party of unity are they? Party of Mutiny. I went to the campaign site and you would think we were in primaries again, the sick sexist remarks, racist of course and well you know the drill. So they come trolling over hoping to upset, and actually that fear you can smell, that’s all they have. Between Huffpoo and the O campaign site they are losing it badly.
Oh no HARP! Stop with the rules. Rules! Rules! Rules!
Gosh, if they could read them in the first place—Obama sure as heck wouldn’t be the nominee.
And since your underhung leader broke the rules by campaigning in both Michigan and Florida, plus taking his name off the ballot and yet limply accepting the delegates won by the woman he outspent, he actually lost.
It’s so cute that you Obamafluffers are trying so hard to prop up the myth, but by the roolz you lost. But, pray, continue on with your fantasy film version.
I’m sure you don’t need more proof of election dysfunction, but I see BS going on in Ohio. Apparently due to a loophole, the Obama campaign will be able to go on college campuses in Oct and set it up so that people can register to vote and also cast their vote on the same day.
Ohio voting law may be a boon for Obama supporters:
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080814/ap_on_el_pr/ohio_early_voting
You are confusing an election with a nominating process.
In elections, US law governs.
In nominations for who runs in those elections, DNC rules govern, nothing else.
There is no requirement that your vote be kept secret in the nominating procees (see, Iowa caucuses)
Matt
“In nominations for who runs in those elections, DNC rules govern, nothing else.”
Cool, so then I guess you won’t be needing any voters.
Silly me, I always thought the party was about the people who do all the work to elect these candidates. Oh well nevermind, perhaps The Rulz will turn out in November and support Obambi.
Over at River daughter they are saying there will be electronic machines used for the roll call vote and they are not happy.
Oblahablah, et al., can’t even keep their androids in line. How are he and his henchmen going to supervise the electronic voting machines without screwing that up, too?
When will her vp be announced
Off topic, but I’m curious. How many thousands of PUMAs were at the PUMA convention?
lol
65.
Not 65k.
65 people. According to Will Bowers.
I do hope you at least wear a dental dam, O-fluffer.
The truth hurts, doesn’t it? 65? ROTFL
Your existence is an argument for retroactive abortion.
Where in Canada are you from? I live in Toronto.
I wonder why you feel the need to spread lies during an American election.
It is standard for the tiny processor Obots to slander people without evidence. Bill’s a racist and Steven spreads lies. Because I have not lied on this site, it is a lie to say I spread lies. It’s unfortunate your mother did not use the morning after pill.
Dude I heard you on the blogtalk. I read you all over.
How do you think I know you are living in Canada.
Just stop it.
My locale is a matter of record.
Permethrin should help you with your problem, Dritches.
Sounds like you need to get a life, little frightened one.
Or do they pay you to make an ass of yourself?
Dude????
UG!
Why would a person who is ostensibly Canadian come here posting gibberish about an election that is none of his/her/its business?
I bet you also wear a tinfoil hat. On second thought, it must be a beanie with propeller and plastic chin strap.
Well we can always tell when its Autumn in Toronto….The LEAFS start falling.
What cheers follow Leafs’ shots during the playoffs?
“Fore.”
8.4
Thats cumulative for both zingers…
:O
Don’t blame Britches the O-Fluffer’s mama. I am CERTAIN she did her best that her worthless son would not grow up to be a whore.
65, huh? Not that many more signed the Declaration of Independence. Not many more showed up in Seneca Falls for the first Women’s Rights Convention. I guess they all should have sat down and played nicey-nice until someone gave them permission to speak and act.
we did a count on TM one day when TM had not been kidnapped by an Obot, and on that thread alone, we counted 220+ people who would not vote for BO.
Nobody I know is voting Barry……….
And after the election, you won’t be able to find one with a geiger counter.
ROFLMAO!!!!!!!
Unfortunately all three of my adult children are voting for Obummer, they say. Though I know for sure at least one of them is not registered to vote. I tried to get him to register for many years but he never did. Maybe his brother or sister will remind him to register.
I know a hundred and a few lifelong Democrats who live just up the street from me who aren’t voting for him, either.
They aren’t on computers, either, so they’re “low tech” like McCain. Which means they don’t “count” to the Obots.
They’re in an assisted living facility. They think Clinton got screwed. They’re pissed.
They may not click and keyboard, but one thing they do quite well (and without fail) is VOTE.
220+!
do you ever think that people can not drop what they are doing and afford to fly across county to attend ANYTHING; important or not! I am a PUMA, i did not attend the PUMA convention, but Bowers has my support, and I probably can’t afford to attend Denver. I do not blog and rarely have time to comment. But trust me — if HILLARY is not the democrat candidate I am voting McCain. I just sent him $10 this morning. BTW, I was a 20+ year democrat, nor repub or indep.
Don’t point out reality to the OBAMAFLUFFERS like Britches who are on their kneez furiously trying to keep their limp leader propped up….at the expense of their PARENTS.
They have no idea what REAL LIFE entails,
sure zee… project much?
I am not a young man living off his parents, so how could I be projecting?
My son is NOT a politician’s WHORE on his knees furiously trying to prop him up. He’s getting PAID to go through a respected college on his own merit.
So worry about your own sorry excuse of a life (no fault of your poor mama) being nailed.
No doubt your mother would be HORRIFIED by your callous sneering at older people too invested in life to drop it at the spur of the moment.
Not to mention your swallowing …. all the effluence of a con man.
unfortunately it is “real life” that are going to keep the Hillary masses from protesting at Denver. I recall women stating that they were unable to go to the RBC meeting to show support because most were single working mothers or older women who could not afford the trip nor the baby sitters. maybe this is how men kept women down all those years. I hope for the best and the masses though.
Who cares?
Look, I was there in DC only a couple of years ago when NOW got over a MILLION WOMEN to march in opposition of Bush policies and in support of women’s issues.
Ever hear of it? 1.1 million women?
Of course not. Britches, his mama’s greatest regret, will be out PIMPING the “small” number of women and concerned men protesting Obama in Denver, but did ANY of these Minute-O-Fluffers MARCH with NOW? Did they APPLAUD the OVER ONE MILLION WOMEN marching in Washington?
Of course not!
Britches the UNDERHUNG O-Fluffer doesn’t give a hemorrhoid about women or democracy. Not even his MAMA, who would be HORRIFIED that she raised an oxygen-waster whose life consists of TROLLING for a con man online.
He is EXACTLY like that GREASY POMPOUS FATHEAD on MSNBC who thought he could deflate Will and Daragh by sneering at the amount of money PUMApac has raised….notwithstanding that PUMApac is only ONE of an entire consortium of like groups online.
And a recent uprising.
If an established group like NOW can’t get over ONE MILLION WOMEN taking the time out of their lives to MARCH in WASHINGTON *noticed* (let alone remembered!) all it proves is that the DICKHEADS like BRITCHES, the DNC, the RNC, and the MEDIA FATHEADS live to denigrate women.
Every last PUMA is representing millions whether the angelhair noodle endowed admit it or not.
November will tell.
The silent privacy of the booth speaks volumes.
It was filled to over capacity and sold out!!!
Can someone clarify what the roll call signifies?
If she gets more votes, does she become the nominee? Or is it more oa symbolic victory that would put pressure on the party, without actually requiring them to do anything?
Great article! I read this yesterday and had to scrape my chin off the floor. Unbelievable. I once heard Farrakhan say that the Black man will inherit the Earth. That was my very first encounter while looking into who he was. I thought no you’re a fool. If the meek inherit the Earth…it will be women and children, they’re the ones that have suffered the most throughout history since the very beginning and continue to do so till today. Women and children of all races. Especially the children. I was going to go to Denver, but after seeing the cages I’m debating it.
The cages are for those ARRESTED.
Not where protesters have to protest.
If you don’t plan on breaking any laws you won’t get arrested.
Whatever kind of look you were going for, you missed.
LOL!
Suddenly the unemployed college kid with a crush on Obama is looking more like a FATHEAD under Rove’s tutelage with a few beet-red rolls bulging out from his white collar, huh?
Britches the FLUFFER is full of shit, as usual.
In NYC during the 2004 RNC convention the police TOOK HUGE ORANGE NETS and simply scooped up EVERYONE ON THE STREET, including passers by and TRUSSED THEM WITH PLASTIC HANDCUFFS and stuffed them in oily polluted abandoned bus terminals as makeshift holding pens.
Are you a FASCIST RIGHTWINGER, Britches the Fluffer?
I thought you were playing an idealistic kid worshipping Obama?
Get your FLUFFER TALKING POINTS in order. “Only lawbreakers” is a rightwing talking point. Error! Error! Back to the Stink Tank!
Civil disobedience has a long history in our country and we use it to great effect. The Democrats can allow it in Denver and get on with it or try to squelch it and get a seriously black eye in the press (not referring to the MSM). It is
theirOblahblah’s choice.And when they come for you??? Screw that…
Humans in cages?
“Where protestors have to protest?”
I don’t know what planet you are living on if you think you can’t be arrested if you haven’t done anything illegal. I don’t have the money to go to Denver but seeing those cages would certainly discourage me if I did have the money. I don’t believe the cages are there to fill with Obummer thugs since it will be Obummer’s coronation.
no, the cages aren’t for those who are arrested, they are the “free speech zone”, the place where protestors are allowed to protest in any way like holding signs, chanting, wearing t-shirts, you know, all that disruptive stuff.
Those are for the arrested, they are for the citizens of the United States of America who wish to practice their NOT SO FREE speech!
Well I hope Hillary’s supporters show the same respect to the Keynote speaker than has been shown to Hillary, her supporters and women everywhere…Chant Hillary’s name through out his entire speach…this is the price we pay for demanding that the democratic party be democratic and uphold rules and the traditions of history and place Hillary’s name in nomination…I can see those poll numbers going DOWN already…
One of Eighteen Million saddened and disqusted with NObama and everyting Nobama!!
Well folks “The One”, reportedly, has become philanthropic……..yes folks, philanthropic!!! He, “The One” has agreed to PERMIT her (Hillary) name to BE placed in nomination!!!!!!!! Can you all believe it!!????
Haha, I thought you meant he is donating more to charitable causes (excluding to the church of Rev GD AmeriKKKa Jeremiah Wright) this year than in the past. Read he is real miser and really stingy in his charitable donations in the past years (like 1% or less of his yearly income compared to Hillary’s 10% or McCain’s wife non-profit org). He only ramped up his donations when he started running.
Lols, the Obamans foolishly think that by marginalizing Hillary’s appearance at the convention that somehow we will all magically forget ourselves and be whisked off into a euphoric trance!
“OOOOOOHHH SHINY!!!!”
Uhm, not happening dudes.
See that’s the problem with mature voters. Not so easy to pull a bait and switch on. And I know this will come as shock to those who think this is a clever strategy, but my disgust with the DNC only begins with the treatment of Hillary…it sure as hell doesn’t end there!
PUMA bitches!
LOL
For all those Bots that like to point and make fun of the “older” Hillary supporters such as the idiot, two weeks ago who asked me….What is it like to be SENILE ? (61). You will find out in Denver. GO HILLARY.
Old age, I decided,
is a gift.
I am now,
probably for the first time in my life,
the person I have always wanted to be.
Oh, not my body!
I sometimes despair over my body …
the wrinkles, the baggy eyes, and the sagging butt.
And often I am taken aback by that old person that lives
in my mirror, but I don’t agonize over those things for long.
I would never trade my amazing friends, my wonderful life,
my loving family for less grey hair or a flatter belly.
As I’ve aged,
I’ve become more kind to myself, and less critical of myself.
I’ve become my own friend.
I don’t chide myself for eating that extra cookie, or for not making my bed,
or for buying that silly cement gecko that I didn’t need,
but looks so avant-garde on my patio.
I am entitled to overeat, to be messy, to be extravagant.
I have seen too many dear friends
leave this world too soon; before they understood the great freedom
that comes with aging.
Whose business is it if I choose to read or play on the computer until 4 a.m.,
and sleep until noon?
I will dance with myself to those wonderful tunes of the 60’s, and if I, at the same time,
wish to weep over a lost love… I will.
I will walk the beach in a swim suit that is stretched over a bulging body,
and will dive into the waves with abandon if I choose to,
despite the pitying glances from the bikini set.
They, too, will get old.
I know I am sometimes forgetful.
But there again, some of life is just as well forgotten .
and I eventually remember the important things.
Sure, over the years, my heart has been broken.
How can your heart not break when you lose a loved one,
or when a child suffers, or even when a beloved pet gets hit by a car?
But broken hearts are what give us strength and understanding and compassion.
A heart never broken is, pristine and sterile and will never know the joy
of being imperfect.
I am so blessed to have lived long enough to have my hair turn grey,
and to have my youthful laughs be forever etched into deep grooves on my face.
So many have never laughed, and so many have died before their hair could turn silver.
I can say “no”, and mean it.
I can say “yes”, and mean it.
As you get older, it is easier to be positive. You care less about what other people think.
I don’t question myself anymore.
So, to answer your question,
I like being old. It has set me free.
I like the person I have become. I am not going to live forever,
but while I am still here, I will not waste time lamenting what could have been,
or worrying about what will be. but will continue to rejoice in
what was.
That was superb, HARP. I applaud you, sister.
Thanks, but you have the chromosomes wrong.
Yes, its true, HARP is the first internet chimpanzee….
Oh, XY! Not numbers, letters! Got it…
Just kidding HARP
My daughter’s business partner, tiny woman. ordered a half pint of Harp while visiting the Isle and the bartender said to her, “A half-pint… what, are ye drivin’ ?”
When you get older you can say any damned thing you like! FREEDOM!!!
Well said. Lost on some, no doubt.
Thank you Harp. That was profound. I feel the same way.
DAMN RIGHT, girlfriend, DAMN RIGHT!!
We’re older…and we got more INSURANCE!!!!!!!
Harp …clink. I put a nickel in the jukebox and this one is for you.
billie holiday – lady sings the blues
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IUtPODn7cCc&feature=related
Thanks I love billie holiday.
Love that – Copying and sending to everyone I know. I feel the same way but younger than you – for now. I still feel 23ish!
This whole enchilada has been disgraceful, RRRA. The only thing we have left is to work hard to keep O out of office. And as a lifelong, GOTVer for the Democratic Party, inasmuch as it pains me to do so, now is the time to vote (R). I was leaning Indie or Green, but this latest crap being offered by the Oparty has me heading in the opposite direction.
Nice going Dems. Way to lose!!
And that’s the sad thing. I’ve already filled out my new voter’s registration form for the Pacific Green party and wish I could vote Cynthia McKinney this year if not my frist choice, Hillary. But with all the lies, the abuse, and verbal assaults I’m finding that I have to vote for John McCain and wish I didn’t have to. But the more the Bots visit and show off their “courtesy and grace and civility” it becomes increasingly clear to me that voting for John McCain is not enough; i.e. that I shall have to vote for down ticket Republicans as well as much as it galls me. The only way that the Dean Cabal will get the message is through a rout in the general election. I am fairly certain this election will be the end of the Democratic Party as I have known it as well. Still it’s never too late to start over.
Country before Party. PUMA Rules.
McCain 08
If there is one smidgeon of truth to these rumors and assertions of troublesome times ahead for Obama, then all these speeches and celebrations are going to be Obama’s political eulogy and a farewell to the dying Democratic Party.
The less Hillary has to do with it the better.
Sorry Hillary. Sorry Bill. Your endorsements of this once in a lifetime fraud don’t mean anything to me. I will be voting against Obama. If that means voting for McCain, then that’s what I’ll do.
There are a quite a few like-minded folks where I come from.
Obama people, if you’re counting on Colorado in the win column, don’t.
All of the HRC delegates should chant “HRC, HRC” throughout and then we can see if the media shows it as all of them are dragged off by the brownshirts to the cages.
Or better yet wait until the cameras are rolling and get up and walk out! That would be classic. Or turn their seats around so he is talking to their backs.
This whole process is repulsive and the PEOPLE are going to send a strong message on election day by voting en masse against BHO and his cronies.
I hope that no one is hurt during this gestapo convention.
Why, all the ACORN delegates of Obama’s are use to being in clashes with the police….lol
Why is Michelle and his sister speaking? Why don’t they get Wright, Farrakhan, Ayers, Rezko(oh wait he’s in prison)on the roster? What a joke, Hillary should give her speech and get the hell out of there unless by some miracle she is victorious. Wait, McCain and his repubs have been so patient in sitting on their msm buddies.
cathealon Het don’t forget Stuart Levine. He can provide the drugs, you know Special K, Crack-meth, Cocaine. Ummmm , invite those special buds from the Purple Room. Levine good bud and fundraiser of Obama’s for 17 yrs. Rezco buddy in crime!
Obama’s new slogan: “We are the ones we have been waiting for, now who the hell are we?”
McCain new slogan: “Country First”
Hmmmmmmm hard choice to make based on slogans?
OT, will Michelle Obama confirm she is legally married to a Barack Obama or a Barry Soetoro?
LOL…Damn straight
Does anyone know what day they put the names into nomination for a vote – I thought I read somewhere that it was the first day of convention – does anyone have the schedule for that?
remind Will B that the petition needs to be in before convention day begins with HC’s sig..
Dear Ms. Amy,
Now, now. We wouldn’t want to be ungracious, would we? Be a dear. Sit down. Be quiet. Don’t think of it as the Democratic National Convention. Just think of it as Barry’s coming out party. If you don’t have something nice to say, don’t say anything at all. You’re hurting Nancy Cruella’s sensibilities.
Ann
I prefer “Steel Magnolias” where Dukakis says, “If you can’t say anything nice about someone… come sit next to me.”
Annie, yes, that is exactly what they are saying. Sit down, shut up, cros your ankles, don’t cause trouble.
As I understand it, Hillary will be speaking in the evening, so there is that, but frankly, when she speaks that day is not the big issue – it is that a man who is not even in office anymore was chosen BY OBAMA to be the Keynote Speaker, AND, Bob Casey will also be speaking that day – the anniversary of Women’s Suffrage. Just staggers the mind, these people. Obama could really care less abt women.
Hey, Mel – LOVE the Obama slogan!!
Zeke – Good one! I love that movie, and I AM a Southerner, after all!
Oops – crosS…Thought that typo got fixed…
Lady was interviewed on Fox,said, its so wonderful to have Clinton’s name put into nomination,but says,Obama has won the nomination, and will be the winner at the end of the process.She said everyone will finally get behind Obama.lolClinton could also opt at the role call to hand her delegates over to Obama.Obama expects to have fun and excitement at the convention,… I’m not so sure.lol…
What is Hillary doing?? This really isn’t settling anything…
Ikes Please read this board,and fill us in on his thoughts..
VERY IMPORTANT>>> Did anyone else receive an email today from info@iownmyvote.com asking to reconfirm?
Yes, I did. Seems like they are working overtime these days…Once again, that is very, very telling of the kind of people the Obama followers are. Yikes.
So the email is really from info@iownmyvote.com? And it’s safe to click on the link? Not sure if that’s what you’re saying. Sorry if I wasn’t clear on that.
My bad – yes, it seemed to be from them. But SMART of you to check!
thanks…
I got that email but was concerned that it was not actually from “I Own My Vote”. I emailed them directly and asked them if they sent the message. I haven’t received an answer yet.
Yep got it too.
Attention Obamabots:
You are harming your candidate every time you post here. If you want to stop this cycle of creating harm for your Anointed One, may I suggest you leave and go post at HuffPo, where you will be welcomed as long-lost fellow travelers.
bullsh*t.
Refuting people like zee and workingclass isn’t to convince them, they are liars. There is no convincing a liar.
The refutations are meant for the causal reader here. Not the pretend democrats that use terms like live birth abortion and claim Obama supports infanticide.
Rather than waisting your time here with your nonsense, you should be practicing the new Obama salute. You know, the A-hole sign, the big zero.
That hand sign is just the hand job they are forced to resort to after the regular fluffing attempts have failed repeatedly.
Every time you post, your Messiah is weakened. Keep it up, obamatron. We want you to show everyone what truly uncivilized “people” you bots are.
lol!
I am not known for lying. I am known for getting under the thin skin of liars like you, Britches!
So. Which is it? Are you a kid with a krush whose mama has no idea her efforts at raising you have resulted in a waste of oxygen infesting websites as a troll?
Or are you a Rove-bot getting your verbal diarrhea from stink-tanks with rightwing talking points such as the lie that those Denver cages are meant for “law breakers” despite the fact that the RNC used the NYC police as their personal bouncers and trussed up NYC pedestrians in those polluted abandoned bus terminals in order to discourage legal and law-abiding peaceful protesters?
You fascists advising Obama now?
Obama supports infanticide.
I hope that Bill and Hillery use their speaking time to announce they are no longer in the new obama party. I will not vote for him no matter how much they try to get me to.
Say Hello to President McCaine…
I’m hoping that Bill walks on stage, turns to the larger than life size two dimensional cardboard cut-out of The One and flips the fake messiah his middle finger then exits stage left to the cheers and roars of thousands of PUMAS.
Ooh. I like that idea.
OT
Fred Thompson, always good with the Reaganesque money quote, offers this:
“This election cycle, the traffic in the world is very heavy …and dangerous; it’s no time to give a kid with barely a learner’s permit the keys to the car.”
I guess when you are as old as dirt 47 seems young. Bill Clinton was younger though.
Dirtches, Did you know that ccording to Obama, in late 1960 his mother Ann Dunham at the young age of seventeen, had made a mistake and was punished with a baby?
And when you are dumber than a bag of hammers, Oblahblah looks like a genius. That must be why you are so in love with him, huh, Dritches?
LOL! Great comeback!!!
Hillary or McCain ‘08!
save all the obots vile posts so we can show everyone. Hey Obot, who killed Gwatney? Who killed that Dem in Penn yesterday? Who sent out viruses to the blogs yesterday?
Bill Clinton had served two terms as governor of Arkansas. That is an executive position. Being a community organizer, teaching a class at night school and serving in the Illinois senate are not executive positions.
As a Virginian and Republican I am glad Warner is a keynoter. You see, if half the stuff that is bubbling under the surface (i.e. BHO was a Muslim, whitey tape, illegal money and much much more) is true, it will tie “The One” directly to Warner and despite his huge lead in the polls now, after the so called “negative ads” come out in late October, Warner is sunk. By the way I hate our Repub. nom. Gilmore. I just want to say, “I told you so.” On second thought, I think my wife has a copyright on that phrase.
Amen. I can’t stand Gilmore either. McCain most certainly wasn’t my first or second choice. However, given the ineptness that seem to befall the Democratic leadership—McCain it is!
I don’t get it. Tuesday night is about the economy? What happened to the anniversary of Women’s Suffrage? Hillary isn’t mentioned. How much time will those 10 speakers take? When will Hillary speak?
Are they having a perfunctory roll call vote because Hillary is supposed to release her delegates when she speaks?
Forget about unity!
Forget about catharsis!
PUMA!
Micheal Moore, himself an Obama supporter, said in Rolling Stone one way for the Dems to lose this election would be to forget this was an important year for women.
Dems are right on schedule.
Glad to have you back, Mike.
Back, my ass.
MM thinks a speech on GENDER by the misogynist pig Obama will mollify us emotional women who “periodically” get feeling “down.”
I would say he could KMA, but I don’t like where THAT O-Fluffer’s mouth has been.
There was an interesting article on Mark Warner a few years ago. Turns out he has had intern “relations” and essentially it said that he couldn’t run for president because he was a known philanderer. This article ran on Buzzflash, I know for sure, and it would sure be interesting if this came out before the convention.
I’m glad you know for sure. I’d still like a link.

All lies.
Invincible ignorance is your strong suit, isn’t it?
Well, you’d better get googling then, ya frightened little smartass!!
You can want in one hand, and shit in the other, and guess what you’ll end up with?
And why don’t you share it with the class when you find it, Mmmmmm-kaaaaaay?
There’s your link. How does that crow taste?
get your own damned link you lazy Obot..go back and report that nothing is happening at NQ
I remember that.
If they’ve vetted him, he’s not The Messiah’s
asslickerNumber Two.Ugh Warner. He was such a sexist pig on TV one time that even Campbell was horrified and called him sexist. Terrible terrible stuff. He was also the one who said a black man can’t fight with a white woman. What a moron. Right up Barky’s misogynist alley though.
You are KIDDING me, Uppity! Holy crap, that makes all of this so much worse!!
It looks like Clinton will be one of at least 4 speakers that night – nice, real nice.
I mean, really – why would Clinton be the Keynote Speaker when she only got the most votes of any candidate ever, especially on Women’s Suffrage Anniversary after ALL the work she has done on behalf of women? NATURALLY, it makes sense that they would pick some sexist guy who has been out of office for a while. Heck – if they wanted to do something on Economics, and they want a MAN, doesn’t KRUGMAN make more sense? (I know – of course not because he supported Hillary.) What a crock of hooey.
Thanks Rev. Amy
Here’s one for you.

Infestation of bot-trolls today – they’re really running scared now – panic mode.
Careful of these pre-pubescent assholes, though. I got into a knockdown, dragout with a few of them today and, lo and behold, my computer was attacked! Kell surpreeze.
I have the IP address of the culprit – is there any legal penalty for these sh*theads?
When Obama is in office, people like you will not be able to spread lies and make threats so freely.
Or else what punk
The rules will change.
You want to finish that thought?
He’s working on getting the rest of it from bot central.
Oh, gosh- here we go. And will you get a lovely new shirt to wear when you punish us non-believing miscreants? Gonna institute Sharia law next, huh, Sweetie? Hope to hell you’ve had a good life if you try that with old bitches like me. We ain’t having none of it. Not a teeny bit. You have no idea what you are starting, that’s really the hell of it. We do. We’ve been there. We survived. We’d really prefer civil discourse, but don’t think we’re helpless just because we’re “old”. Ha.
P.U.M.A.
You know, dritches, I think you’re the stupidest bot-troll of them all. There is always SO MUCH competition for that honor, but today you get the prize.
So, go do your whining somewhere else, bot, we don’t like the smell of the load in your “dritches!”
Yeah, tt looks as though he has a potato in back of his pants. He keeps saying something about crowning and not in reference to Oblahblah.
So he is the Fuhrer you have been waiting for. I thought so. So when do the concentration camps open, Herr Goebbels?
go tell that to the white supremists and see how far that statement gets.
Oo, a threat!
Angelhair strutting.
We will get sent to Guantanamo?
The bots know they can’t win in November so they’re coming here to take it out on us. Blame HRC, blame her supporters, blame NQ.
it depends on what they did. i think you can report it to your ISP, not sure though.
Yes, there is, I’ll get the links and post them. Just finished my Cyber Law class over the summer.
BRB
Thanks, Katmoon and wodiej! Would love to get ‘em!
Looking forward to the links
Hi Firefly,
You would need to be specific as to what happened but I will guess a hack or something similar. You would file with your state, under civil code, which is covered under the federal code of CFAA), 18, U.S.C. 1030-Which Is the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. Do a search in your state for example, say I live in TN so I would look for Tn code annotated, then it has a tree of information, by subject matter, you might look up Civil, or tort, or just do a web search for computer fraud law for the state of _________.
Here is a glimpse of what it covers:(the states apply this law to their law, so it works from state level forward)There may or may not be a complaint form for you to fill out with your Attorney General(there would be if it is harassment or hate mail).
Firefly,
Also check on where you were when it happened if you are on a site that has a TOS agreement, that also comes into play, as well as any ISP responsibilites.
Thank you so much, Katmoon – I’m kinda computer illiterate, so I’m gonna print it so I can pore over it.
Much appreciated – PUMAs are the smartest and the best!
Hey it’s no problem, wasn’t so smart about cyber law before the class, but wow, what an eye opener. You really don’t have to put up with harassment and threats, or isp stealing or spoofing, spam still is a lot harder to get a hold on to legally. What the law really does is takes the Amendments, and case by case has applied them to the internet as well, mostly it works out. Happy to help.
I’m not real clear here. So Clinton will have her name read into nomination and gets a roll call vote as per convention custom and rule and you’re all still pissed that the Clintons don’t have more of a role? Isn’t this what you’ve been asking for for weeks?
Oh, and how is it that y’all assume Obama supporters are scared? What am I supposed to be afraid of? At the end of the convention, my candidate will still be the nominee.
You said it all, bot – everything anyone ever needs to know about you…lol!
No, let’s try again: We’re pissed because you duds have foisted an egocentric, unqualified, incompetent candidate with birth issues on the electorate. I don’t hate him; I just think he’s no damned good. As for you trolls, we’re gonna let you live with those hooves you’ve inserted in your collective mouths. If we point and laugh at you, that’s your fault.
gimmeabreak, dream on. Obama is sinking fast.
you didn’t even read the entire post apparently. It is the anniversary of the women’s suffrage movement and they are not only having a man as the keynote speaker he is anti choice. Is that clear enough for you now?
STILL be the nominee? He’s NOT the nominee now! Stupid or something?
And still losin’ to the old geezer.
Cripes, the trolls must have lost all of their imaginary playmates this evening. Obama must be paying overtime now.
It really doesn’t matter what Obama does or doesn’t do. He is just digging himself a deeper and deeper hole. Once the convention is over, the trollies can come here and babble all they want but the Republicans will bury their master. As I heard in a movie once:
“they will bury him so far in the ground the heat from the earths core will incinerate his sorry ass”…from Raising Helen
So let them come here because they are desperate for attention and approval since they can’t get it anywhere else. We feel sorry for your naivety and that you apparently weren’t blessed with much common sense. And by the way, that has nothing to do with going to college and being book smart. They don’t teach common sense in school.
I don’t really care how you spin what Obama did in the primaries. You call it being clever and outsmarting Hillary. I call it being dishonest and Hillary just wouldn’t do it. Obama played the race card, took his name off the ballot in Michigan because he knew he would lose. Hillary won all of the big states and she won the popular vote-ENOUGH SAID. So stick your talking points.
wod~ enforce, all the sites are crawling with them, crazy high numbers on comments on the Clinton roll call story.
I thought the keynote address was offered to Hillary and she turned it down?
! Mama is voting McCain, she wanted Hillary, but is NOT falling in line!
BObamboozler is at it again hoodwinking America. His campaign is bragging they had a secret project of writing a book about the platform that made it to the publishers last month without leaks. Name of it? “Change We Can Believe In: Barack Obama’s Plan to Renew America’s Promise
to Kenya”.Name of the Democatic Platform Committee document farce at the committee meeting this last weekend? Why it was ‘Renew America’s Promise’. Shockers eh.
Yet DNC claims: “More than 1,600 listening sessions took place in communities in all 50 states. Nearly 30,000 Americans from all walks of life participated. And these voices are now included in our Party’s Platform.” Bullshit, it was all arranged last month and earlier, before they held any “sessions” to fool the public. It was all a sham. There was no public input that was considered. Imagine that, the DNC and BO lied. AGAIN. It’s all they know is how to LIE.
Noticing a pattern yet? Now Tuesday night, the 88th anniversary of Women’s Equality Day is named after none other than BO’s book and *his* platform. More disrespect, more hubris. More bullshit. You can shove the Unity Pony up your asses.
The Obots think this will all end or go away in Nov. Oh BO will, don’t worry about that, he’s unelectable much less eligible and doesn’t have a prayer in hell of making it into the Whitehouse and belongs in prison. Yes, he’s going to be going away for a long long time to prison. The rest of us will never let you live any of this disgraceful year down. For decades. For the rest of your sorry lives. You caused it, you believed it, you fell for it, you OWN it. You pitiful gullible fools. You’re Omelba.
NO Deal. NO Dice. NO Chance. NObama!
More appropriate title for that book: “Ruin America’s Promise”
well said!
‘To Kenya’- also extremely embarassing. This kind of talk doesn’t due HRC any good; it only makes us all look crazy.
Tough shit weakling. Deal with it. It’s right on Wright’s church website. Or was before they had to scrub a bunch.
It’s the truth. BO’s allegiance is to Kenya not to America. You’ll find out when BO & Cousin Odinga tries to bring Sharia law to the USA.
ferdberfle
I like the way you said that (YOU CAN SLICE THAT BULLSHIT ANYWAY YOU WANT IT IS STILL BULLSHIT)
YEP IT IS STILL BULLSHIT. FROM dear donna on down the line.
What should happen is when they are up for re-election we should all make our wishes known loud loud and clear.
And I meant every word of it. They’re trying to put lipstick on that jackass and say he’s a Presidential candidate. Nope–still a jackass.
The DNC, the Democrats in Congress and Obama are still playing games. This is not only abut the selected one it is about the ones that did the selecting. They are unaware that they lost the respect of 18 million by doing so.
Dear Republican Operatives:
Now that Hillary will be on the roll call, can you please release the holy grail dirt on Obambi, don’t wait until after our Democratic convention. Thanks a bunch in advance.
yeah dear republican operatives……do this wonderful country a favor please and follow daves lead….
have a HEART for your loved ones and the beautiful planet…release the holy grail dirt …PLEASE!
Good one Clinton fan!

Yesbambi!
Please do keep hope alive. The old man barely alive is running even with the Messiah.
Stop the hate!
I don’t get it, I just don’t get it and I guess I never will… day in and day out, the ‘trolls’ are engaged as if they offer you some actual form of debate?, I swear they must get paid by the number of responses they get … and heavens – the odd time when they are not here, I read endless ‘call outs’ to them… what exactly do the readers/posters of NQ want?…
I love reading this blog and its comments… but after a while the ’schoolyard’ fight does get a little old.
If you do not feed them they will go away… but no
- I guess this is more fun, right?
Wrong.
Give yourself more credit.
I try to.

By the response of the trolls we know that the Obamaling/Barry Soetoro numbers are tanking.
The more trolls the more desperate the Soetoro camp is.
I don’t know why the trolls come — they get bashed and insulted.
Today we know the Obama camp is especially unhinged — as reflected by their trolls admitting that they monitor NQ.
I generally scroll past the trolls and read the responses to the troll lunacy. Lots of funny smart-assed, creative writing.
We give them what they want, apparently. Personally, I think they’re gluttons for punishment.
They must be masochists — and there is no way to be nice to the sucker/idiots. They aren’t here for a rational, logical dialog.
But they are a clear indicator that all is not well in Soetoro-ville.
I’m sure none of this will matter when Larry produces the whitey tape and then it will all be over for B. Hussein ‘I’m Crazy as a Freeper for Believing This Crap’
Seriously, get a life
Larouche ‘08!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think Obama and Osama planned 9/11 – he MUST BE STOPPED – GOD HELP US ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ONLY NO QUARTER HAS THE TRUTH!!!!!!!!!!!
ALL CAPS EMPHASIZE MY POINT!!!!!!!!!!
Some soap, please.
HE ATTENDED SCHOOL IN ANOTHER COUNTRY – HE’S NOT A REAL MERKIN – AHHHHHHHHHHHHH WE’RE DOOMED – PLEASE ELECT MCCAIN SO HE CAN START ANOTHER WAR – YAY WAR!!!!!!!!!!!
WHERE’S THE WHITEY TAPE LARRY?
Didn’t HQ fix that glitch in your memory stick, yet. That is not the topic for the day. Please report to the bot of the day for urgent repairs.
Notice at the Dem Convention link that every other speaker’s name is bolded except for Clinton’s. Coincidence? Perhaps, but it’s odd and really should be fixed.
That’s more than odd. That is some anal-retentive work they’re doing over at bot central.
WTF? I am so sick of this crap……
THANKS FOR THE HEADS UP! Now I know not to bother watching on Monday night at all.
The mainstream media keeps say it’s “his” convention (B.O). I thought it was the Democratic Convention. What bullshit.
You want to see Obama desperation, check out Amazon’s reviews on Jerome Corsi’s “The Obama Nation”. Obama fans are posting reviews in droves, all one stars to bring down the ratings, but it’s clear that none of them have read the book, #1 on the New York Times Bestseller List, and “2 in sales of all books presently selling on Amazon.
And to make your day, Pelosi’s book is #3,266 in sales for all books selling on Amazon. Breaks my heart.
I love that! Karma sucks – for her.
The bots finally found out that Corsi’s book is #1 on the Best Seller list and they are having fits trying to cope and plant disinformation. Larry King had Corsi on last night and it’s a wonder the man got a word out for all the shouting over him and misrepresentation of what he wrote in the book and the significance thereof. They were trying to brand him over his book about Kerry. Well, it was pretty effective wasn’t it? And now we know what a loser we’d have had in the WH if he had won.
Then on Fox, horrible little toe man, Dick Morris on Hannity both saying how Hillary being nominated and getting a role call shows how weak Obama is. Imagine that…a candidate being allowed to participate in the standard process…now being played by some of the commentators as if it was in the works all along.
What a sham. If they think people will fall for this fake show and the result will be “Unity” they really out of touch with reality. It will have to play out through the final act but I see no other way but McCain. I will delight in Soetoro losing the election and the total humiliation of Dean/Pelosi and Brazzile.
Isn’t Keynote and Headliner two differen’t things?
He’s the Keynote (like lil obambi was in 2002) but she’s the Headliner. The Keynote speaker is always a young upstart in the party isn’t it?
Hillary is listead as Headliner in the primetime spot. That’s what I got from the link anyway.
I don’t put it past obi-wan-soetoro to try to squeeze her out in whatever way possible though.
