“Revolution”

By SusanUnPC on May 28, 2008 at 9:33 AM in Barack Obama, DNC, Democratic National Convention, Democrats, Donna Brazile, Hillary Clinton, Howard Dean

“What to do? … What to do?”

I disagree with BoyThreeOne’s ending … I just may vote for John McCain. Frankly, I consider him more fit to be president than Barack Obama.

I NEVER — EVER — imagined I would write that. My daughter and my old friends are in shock!

But, I’ve had it. I’ve just had it.

I supported Howard Dean’s candidacy. I supported him becoming the DNC chair.

I never in a million years imagined that he would set up the Democrats for the least-experienced, least-fit, least-knowledgeable candidate who is SURE to lose in November. But he did.

Now I am embarrassed I ever lifted a finger to help Howard Dean — If I could have been paid for all the hours I put in working for his candidacy, I’d be a rich woman.

Now, I’m left with a party that no longer represents me. Or you.

Another bad start to the day in polling for the Obama camp.

http://rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/election_20082/2008_presidential_election/general_election_match_up_history

The hits just keep on coming. Hillary is up by 1% over McCain but McCain is now up by 4 over Obama.

In the Gallup poll Hillary has led McCain every day in the month of May.

Obama earns the vote from 70% of Democrats and 40% of unaffiliated voters, according to Rasmussen. Impressive?

Not so much.

Obama is leading in one category — the “highly unfavorable” ratings — he is three worse than Clinton at 35%.

I thought Hillary was supposed to be the divisive one?

It’s Not Me

Sorry. Those poll numbers don’t fit with the DNC and DC elite’s agenda. They will be ignored…AGAIN, by the MSM.

http://deleted AnninCa

That doesn’t matter. Bill is pounding this message, and he’ll continue to point it out, whether MSN likes it or not.

And Bill will be covered in the news.

According to one radio host, the network news LOST 17 million viewers this year. How the heck do you tank that badly in this year of exciting political news? You do so by hiring incompetent boobs who scream at viewers and have the analytical skills my kid had in the 7th grade, that’s how.

Normal people just do not react the way these nuts do over small stories or gaffes. Regular people think this is entirely over-the-top. They just turn off the TV.

I’ll be entirely surprised if some of these jokers even have a job once the dust settles.

It’s Not Me

G-d love Bill….is all I can say. He’ll speak the TRUTH and the MSM will whine about him speaking the truth and ask their same asinine questions. What’s being covered up? Where is Bill getting this information? Who’s covering up anything? They will play stupid, as usual. G-d, I hate the MSM.

Kinky Ogremann

Play stupid – that’s the media ain’t it? Just like how they ask “what sexism? what misogyny?” calling her a “bitch or whore” isn’t that – it’s just fun teasing. She should just take it and stop complaining. And they then wonder why they lose 17 million viewers, curious that that’s the exact number that have voted for Hillary?

http://deleted AnninCa

Yes, the Rasmussen poll tells the tale. She isn’t blowing smoke when she continues to point out that she IS the stronger candidate against McCain in every key respect.

That is why those SDs are holding firm, in spite of absolute pressure from Obama to pledge before the DNC meets. He can’t make the 2210 mark if the DNC agrees to seat FL and MI. He knows it.

That means we go all the way to the convention.

If ever there was a time in my life when it SHOULD go to the convention, this is it.

If the DNC doesn’t seat MI and FL, they will see mass defection. If they do seat MI and FL, we have no real presumptive nominee.

Their worst fears have come true. Hillary isn’t the reason, either. It’s because Obama is weak and couldn’t close the deal. It’s because Hillary has the backing of registered Democrats more than he has. It’s because the DNC and the party leaders were petty, let their egos get involved over the Clintons, and backed the wrong candidate.

I will cast my vote for a third party candidate. Never in my life have I voted for a Repubilcan, and I have no plans to do so in 2008. But I will not vote for Obama unless somehow an offer is made to persuade me to do so. After all, what has Obama ever done for me?

http://hickeysite.blogspot.com Pat Hickey

I did for the first time in the Illinois Primary last February – it only hurts a little.

Now, really, imagine tossing a vote to Nader or Bob Barr?

McCain is like the guys frying fish at St. Cajetan’s during Lent – probably swears less though, they are mostly cops and firemen.

I will also not waste my vote. I voted for a Republician once 20 years ago because Dikukus was a total nightmare but Bambi boy makes Mike look like a total winner. I think the Democrats must have their collective asses beat every 20 years. Superdelagates do your jobs or I will vote for McCain because I respect him more then I will ever respect crybaby sissy punk boy.

crybaby sissy punk boy…RFLMAO….I counter with Barry Queen of Snots…chuckle…

AmyinSC

Amen to that. I had already written in my blog that I had had it, and was officially leaving the Party today (unfortunately, in SC, there is no place to change Party Affiliation, which was the official step I wanted to take). I am also a lifelong Dem (I’m 50), and have voted straight-party ticket my entire voting life. No longer. If Hillary is not the nominee, I will write her name in, if SC allows it. If it does not, I will not vote for president for the first time in my life.

This party HAS left me – when it blatantly treated women like dirt, it lost me. When it blatantly got behind a candidate, never mind the least qualified candidate, it lost me. When it determined to silence the very VOICES of what makes this country a democracy – votes – it lost me completely. The recent Memo was the final straw for me. It made it clear as crystal that this is not the DNP any longer. As such, I will not allow it to use my name to inflate its rolls. Hell to the no.

workingclass artist

AmyinSC…can’t you go to the local RNC and register as republican…I think that switches your affiliation and I’m pretty sure they’ll let the dems know….Just wonderin’ that’s what I’m doin in Texas after the convention if Barry Queen of Snots finagles an illegitimate nomination….

Nick

If Hillary is not the nominee, and Virginia is in play (which I don’t expect), I’ll vote for McCain.
Otherwise, right now I’m thinking Ralph Nader or Cynthia McKinney (if she’s the Green nominee.)

Kinky Ogremann

Actually – according to Obama, he is foregoing Florida in hopes of replacing it with Colorado AND Virginia. So you are in play in Obama’s mind –

REPOSTING THIS COMMENT because voters need to Wake Up to what’s behind the bo bs ‘momentum’:

SUPERDELEGATES STEAL THE PARTY
As HBO just aired “Recount” we all just got a reminder that the 2004 election was stolen in favor of corrupt, powerful political pandering.

What is tragic, in review, is that THIS ELECTION (or at least the Nomination) is BEING STOLEN long before the November election date! I am one of many who have been working hard for Hillary, on the phone, blogging, contacting others, etc. Doing all this gets discouraging when, after Hillary Clinton’s enormous trend of Primary Election wins, including most significant large states, like CA, PA, Tx and OHIO and pivotal states like IND & NV and Southern States including KY, TN, WVa and (yet to be counted FLA), she (and we) have just seemed to get further behind -IN THE COUNT THAT MATTERS – the number of endorsing Delegates.

So, in frustration, I determined to research what is actually going on. As a whole, outraged-about-to-exit-the-party Democrats blame the DNC – and rightly so. Had Dean not manufactured a 2 state vote fraud, which not only deprived Hillary Clinton of earned delegates in large numbers, her (our) campaign would have maintained the momentum it truly represents – in terms of THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE.

So much has happened so quickly, in the twists and turns of this propagandized, bias contest, that I felt a need to pause and take stock in overview of Obama’s current Delegate strength – to which I heard 29 more SDs were added over the holiday weekend.

Looking back, maybe some besides me, recall when Obama screamed foul on Super Delegates, claiming these high-impact votes should follow the WILL OF THE PEOPLE. It doesn’t take a full, working brain to recognize that any caucus claiming to represent the will of the people of its state is making an erroneous claim. And considering the broad incidence of fraud involved in these Democratic caucuses, that point should be emphasized.

However, having just spent a day on the FACTS & FIGURES of Super Delegate representation, state by state, I have come to a new and even more sobering conclusion – not just in some broad philosophical sense -but BASED ON SPECIFIC, COMPLETELY UNREPRESENTATIONAL PATTERN OF DELEGATE ENDORSEMENTS, thus far committed, on a state by state basis.

Here are some appaling examples OF EXACTLY WHO IS STEALING this election. (H is Hillary O is Obama)

Super Delegates state by state contribute to the recent totals of Hillary Clinton: 278.5 and Obama’s 314.5 (i have not reviewed here the other categories of SD’s, having already seen the clear trend of Obama support building there in the last 6 weeks.)

STATE LEVEL anomolies in SD commitments, as follows:

IL O/28 H 0 3 remain O won with 65%
IND O 7 H 4 1 remains H won 51%
KY O 2 H 3 3 remain H won 65%
MS H 0 O/4 3 remain O won with 61%
Neb H 0 0/ 6 O remain O won with 49%

Nev H 2 O/2 5 remain H won 51%
ND H 0 O/7 1 remains O won with 56%
OK H 2 O/5 4 remain H won with 55%
SD H0 O/6 1 remains not yet voted!
TN H6 O/4 7 remain H won with 54%
WVa H 3 O/3 4 remain H won huge 67%
Wi H 2 O/14 2 remain B won with 58%
Wy H 0 O/3 2 remain B caucus 61%
Gm H 2 O/2 1 remain

The pattern above DEMONSTRATES THAT SUPER DELEGATES ARE NOT FOLLOWING THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE. In so far as the only other criterion for their voting (against the will of the people of their state) has been established to be EXERCISING SOUND JUDGMENT ON BEHALF OF THE PARTY, we certainly know that DOES NOT APPLY to these votes above, since the Dem Party is enraging and alienating its long-time members.

Please take the time to review the charts above to absorb the significance of the pattern THEY CONSISTENTLY FOLLOW:

IL did go for O. But H got about 35% of vote. Notice 28 delegates endorsing O. H delegate support ZERO!

IND a win for H hard fought with only 2 AA districts in whole state for O. But LOOK WHERE the SD’s have gone – against the will of the people!

KY, OK, TN, WV Sweeping wins for H. But look at the SD commitments for O, with a RECURRING PATTERN AS IN ALL THE STATES OF H’s rightful SDs either backing O or HOLDING BACK SUPPORT against the clear Will of the People.

MS, ND, Neb, WI Yes O won (but in these states early on – and buyers remorse is probably running high) Nevertheless the SD votes for him are HUGELY DISPROPORTIONAL toactual % won!

Next, notice the states with NO- ZERO – SD votes in for H, even though she won SUBSTANTIAL PROPORTION OF THESE STATES VOTES! + States w/ SD votes in BEFORE state primary!

Sure, many have said the FIX IS IN, but to drop the cliches and look at the rigged, arrogant, irrational SD votes on which Obama is planning to usurp the Nomination is a TRAVESTY to DEMOCRACY. It makes the 2004 Recount theft a minor incident, by comparison.

LaRouche site said last week that Edwards was pressured to commit for Obama NOW – or threatened with absolute disenfranchisement from the party! LaRouche is known for getting inside information. Whatever ha been promised or given to these FALSE DEM PARTY SDs must be brought to a halt!

How long are We the People going to be fed lies about the importance of the will of the people when the Media is against us AND our own Party “officials” are LEADING THE LIE?

Please NQ readers, take the time to look up the SD endorsements for your Home State AND LODGE A COMPLAINT with SD’s there who have flauntingly voted against the general population’s primary outcome. Also, PLEASE REACH OUT TO ALL NONCOMMITTED SD’s and remind them that their state already has unfair, misrepresentation for Obama but does not reflect support for the People’s candidate in their state.

You can go to

http://www.lobbydelegates.com

Though their list may not be complete, it can be selected, state by state and by candidate supported so far.

I really think that this State by State Delegate Anamoly above warrants more attention on blogs and in local newspapers, since MSM has buried these FACTS behind the shoddy, slippery figures that we are being told will replace the Will of the People!

Denise

I have and will continue to contact the officials in my state and others. An interesting note, I contacted the senator from my state and explained how he has betrayed my trust in backing a candidate that is so inappropriate and that he has lost my vote. His response was dismissive while he implied that he as well as I should be proud of Obama (I live in IL).
I’ll be eagerly supporting John McCain if Obama wins this nomination.
Your list has proven yet again the complete lack of democracy and the cheating that is taking place inside the democratic party.

I have been working my butt off for Hillary making phone calls to voters and superdelagates. I live in PA and I am telling those living in my state that I expect them to vote Hillary. Bob Cassey refuses but he is a big loser in this state and I only voted for him because he ran against Santurium but I told him that I will NOT be voting for him when he runs in 2012 no matter who the President is. I know that Hillary is the next president just dont know if she is a Democrat or a 3rd Party candiate. Perhaps its time for a working class/blue collar to form its own party since the Democrats don’t want us anymore.

Room 237

In New York (which is what I assume the voter registration roll was for, given the party line up), the “Independence Party” is not the same as registering as an independent. The “Independence Party” is a registered thrid party (which has done pretty well under New York’s electoral fusion rules, and whose candidate for governor keeps winning substantial votes). It grew out of the several third party movements in New York, such as the “Fusion Independent” movement that helped get Rudy Giuliani elected and the Ross Perot movement.

mystic4hill

In California, the Independence Party is also different than registering as an independent. Here, if you want to register as independent, you actually register as a “Decline To State (DTS)” voter. I did this after the California primaries as, after almost 40 years as a faithful Democrat, they no longer represent me. And, I’ll be voting for Hillary or McCain. Never for Obama.

Obama says that we must get out of Iraq as carefully as we carelessly got into Iraq. He intends on using the military for his own vision of how this is supposed to go. Terrific, yet he has no true respect for any of us and very little real world military and foreign relations know how or skill. He hasn’t cared enough about the situation in Iraq to bother visiting in ages. This upcoming election looks like to doubled edged nightmare for the military.

Sheesh, I can’t even type I’m so frustrated…..meant to say it looks like a double edged nightmare.

Strawberry

You get that feeling too, eh?

militarytracy

The view is pretty horrifying. There’s a reason why Hillary Clinton is signed off on by the Pentagon. Our troops are in a shambles and we need someone to tend to this thing decisively……not carefully or looking to claim to victory…….DECISIVELY. Then we have to clamp our own arteries since we are gushing raw resources. If Obama does become President I foresee a lot of soldiers who have made it this far just throwing in the ever loving towel from hell and getting out. I don’t have a crystal ball, but Obama will attempt to use them without respecting them and they have all had as much shit as they are going to take anymore end of discussion. They are hanging on seeking to complete this thing but to be used without respect? They have given this thing their all and then some, it would be the last final finishing fucking insult.

Strawberry

We already did. 12 years down the tubes. But my husband may consider going back in if they give him his 12 back towards retirement and if they let him go JAG. But ONLY if Hillary wins. He wants to help rebuild the Army under her. Otherwise no dice. Oh, I gotta’ run but MSNBC (Blech) reported that the DNC is having paying for the convention. NOOOOOOOOOOOO!? Whoda’ thunk?

Strawberry

Trouble, the DNC is having trouble paying for the convention. Damned decaf.

AF catfish

Our troops are in a shambles and we need someone to tend to this thing decisively……not carefully or looking to claim to victory…….DECISIVELY.

Yep, my reason for Obama being my third choice. He is too indecisive and will not get us out. I believe McCain is capable of getting us out because he can take blowback. Obama cannot handle that kind of criticism, he will hem and haw.

Hillary will be the best.

While I never doubted Israel had nukes, one would think an ex-president should know better than to reveal state secrets. All part of Obama`s peace in our time initiative. Check it out.

NEW GALLUP POLL

But Gallup the poll. Gallup released a poll this morning that shows, basically, and with caveats, that Hillary is a stronger candidate than Obama versus McCain. http://www.gallup.com/poll/107539/Hillary-Clintons-SwingState-Advantage.aspx

This is the conclusion:

Bottom Line

According to Gallup’s May 12-25 tracking polling, Clinton is running stronger against McCain than is Obama in the 20 states where Clinton can claim popular-vote victory in the Democratic primaries and caucuses. By contrast, Obama runs no better against McCain than does Clinton in the 28 states plus the District of Columbia where he has prevailed. On this basis, Clinton appears to have the stronger chance of capitalizing on her primary strengths in the general election.

However, just focusing on the swing states in Clinton’s and Obama’s respective win columns, the two are fairly similar. Clinton beats McCain in her purple states (including Florida and Michigan) by 49% to 43%, while Obama slightly trails McCain (43% to 46%) in these states — a nine-point swing in the gap in Clinton’s favor. Conversely, Obama beats McCain in his purple states (49% to 41%), while Clinton trails McCain by one point, 45% to 46%, in the same states — also a nine-point swing in the gap in Obama’s favor.

Clinton’s main advantage is that her states — including Florida and Michigan — represent nearly twice as many Electoral College votes as Obama’s. However, removing Florida and Michigan from the equation, her purple states are about comparable to Obama’s in electoral vote size, and thus the two appear more evenly situated.

What do you think?

so saddened

so now florida and michigan are removed even from consideration of who could do better in a general? sounds like obamamath.

anyway, despite obambi’s frequent claims to the contrary, we all know that hillary can win florida and obambi can’t, and that’ll make all the difference.

i look forward to watching obaby whimper through his concession speech in november if what will then be my former party nominates him.

hillary or mccain. no other option.
Mr X

I think if you remove Florida and Michigan from the equation, you have no business running for President.

Thanks for the post…I’m sympathetic
LBJ’s Love Child

I am a “Blue Dog” Democrat, which means many of the readers of No Quarter (and posters/powers-that-be) would consider me to be a conservative. But I am not (just ask my Republican friends, who view me as a raving socialist).

There are certain issues on which I disagree with the Democratic Platform, primarily social issues, but I also believe strongly that the Law is incapable of dictating Morality, and as such, attempts to legislate morality will be (and are) disastrous, and hypocritical (something about “for all have sinned and fallen short…”).

I have walked in the streets against death and for life under the banner of many different causes.

I am a Democrat because ONLY the Democratic Party, as an extension of FDR’s New Deal, cares about the needs and concerns of the poor, the oppressed, and the struggling middle class. Economic rights, civil rights, human rights, are all intertwined in the New Deal vision. This concern for the WELL BEING OF ALL OF US is primarily why I have remained a Democrat.

The GOP’s focus on individual property rights to the exclusion of civil rights, human rights, and economic freedom for all renders them morally bankrupt in my eyes. Their attempts to cover this with legislated morality only makes them more aversive to me.

Increasingly, my participation in the Democratic Party has become more and more difficult, as we have moved from our concerns for each other, and for those who can’t help themselves, to an overreaching concern with helping OURSELVES, demanding that OUR desires be met without regard to how others are impacted. The Obama Democrats are little more than a reflection of George Bush’s “Ownership Society”: self-centered, narcissistic, spoiled-rotten consumers of a society that consumes much while producing little.

I got my DNC Presidential Survey in the mail yesterday. It was as full of lies and distortions as the mailings I have gotten from Republicans in the past. It was devoid of integrity. But the line that set me off was a line about guaranteeing “free and fair elections”. SNAP!

That line was the straw that broke the camels back.

Don’t talk to me about “rules”, but answer me this: Which is closer to guaranteeing a “free and fair” election? Primaries moved up on the calender to challenge the Iowa Caucus’s status as candidate decider, or stripping representation from the voters in states that dare challenge Iowa’s status?

Good-bye, DNC. Good night, but no good luck to you.

workingclass artist

When my kid was 10 and watching the election race between Gore and Bush which I refer to as the HIJACK 2000…She asked me what the diff was between Republicans and Democrats…I told her ( in language simplified for a bright 10 yr. old )…Well Republicans are a political party for Wealthy Christians who were mostly white….chuckle…She asked and Democrats ?
Democrats are the party for everyone else…
Betty

And add to that only 2,500 Iowans attended their caucus. 2,500 voters holding 2.5 million voters hostage to their ego.

The Iowa Democratic Party leaders, who could only muster 2,500 voters on caucus day aught to be ashamed of themselves and they should be at the head of the line fighting for MI and FL delegation to be seated as voted.

But no, the Democratic Party “Leaders” across the country are cowards who are keeping their heads down. Where are our state Democratic Leaders? Have they all been told to keep their mouths shut?

For quite a while I’ve pretty much ignored MoveOn because of their fixation on Obama. Today I got an email from them which seems to indicate that they are taking Hillary’s campaign more seriously than they ever have before. Below is the text of their email, without the active links to Facebook. Has anyone seen this? Sorry, I’m very limited in my blogging skills.

Dear MoveOn member,

We’re in a sorta crazy political moment right now, and we’d love to get a better sense of what people are thinking.

So we created some Facebook groups, to gauge opinions.

Can you join the group that best represents your current take on the election?

Wake me up when this primary’s over.
Hillary, you’re amazing, but it’s time to let it go.
Chill out, everybody—the last primary is in a week.
Barack? Just pick Hillary as VP and be done with it.
Barack, you won the primary—time to focus on McCain.
Hillary, don’t let them tell you to quit!
We’ll be watching these groups closely—both their initial size and how they grow over the next week.

Feel free to invite your friends to join these groups. The more people you bring in, the better chance your opinion has of coming out on top.

Thanks for all you do.

Funny they send that out at the same time the DNC sends out their survey. I guess they really have no idea what the hell is going on on both fronts. But Move On can bite me for siding with Obama without fully vetting him. Dumbasses. It makes all democrats look like incompetant, lazy, raving loonies.
cynic456

Facebook is owned bypeople who are Obama supporters. In fact one of the co-founders is the brains behind Obama’s internet presence and grass roots campaign.

I know from my daughter that anyone not supporting Obama gets harrassed by “friends” who are his supporters. Many do not stae their candidate preference for that reason. You will find that such group numbers will be skewed towards pro-obamists. For example, Hillary has ca. 50% of the democratic vote but a very small supportive presence on Facebook. Move-on knows this and is probably doing this in order to collect data they know will be skewed.
karen for Clinton

A tiny percentage of their membership voted on who to enodorse since they rushed it way too fast.

When they announced I sent them a few “screw off and this is why” letters.

I did the same to every other indy group that had anything to do with Ob or that might be under his “umbrella” of the “movement” to funnel to him.

I won’t even accept mail from any of them, all unsubscribed totally. To Friends of the Earth (FOE) I sent Exelon info and told them they surely know about it already but since they are in the tank they can just ignore the truth for their sham man.

I can’t believe I’m saying this but I think I could vote for McCain if Obama get’s the nomination.
I’m told Democrats will fall in line behind BO. I think not. When the next 4 miserable years are over I want to fault a republican. BO would certainly be an embarassment that would give us 30 more years of republicans.
As to the Supreme Court issue. Obama choses bad company. He voted for Alito for God’s sake! I can’t trust his next choice. McCain has been a fuck up his entire life. I have some small hope he could fuck up again or be contrary enough to give us a Warren.

I’ve said I’ll vote for McCain over Obama and I too could not believe I honestly feel that way. But it’s the truth. I feel like McCain, as flawed as he is, would not be nearly as dangerous for this country as Obama.

McCain has really been demonized by people. LOL, someone told me he was going to ban abortion and execute illegal aliens. In reality he spoke out against torture when it was politically damaging to do so. He’s in trouble with the Right for not being hard enough on illegal immigration. He really is a maverick Republican, half the Republicans can’t stand him either. I can’t hate McCain or view him as some sort of Right Wing boogey man because that’s just not who he is.

Great video EXCEPT for the voter registration form. It looks like a NY State form.

I have run many voter registration drives since 2000. There is an intentionally confusing part of the party registration system. A crazy party that runs whack job candidates like Lenora Fulani and other New Alliance Party refugees has taken the name “The Independent Party.” People who want to be registered as “Independent” of any party affiliation mistakenly think this is what they are checking off. Instead they are registering for one of our crazier 3rd party choices in the state. People wish to register as independent should check “I Do Not Wish To Enroll With A Party.”

Once a long distance carrier registered the name “I Don’t Care” as their DBA. When people signed up for a new land-line and were asked what was their preferred long distance carrier, if they said “I don’t care” they would be enrolled with this specific expensive service plan.

I am so irked at the delegates and superdelegates voted against the will of the people in their districts! How is that OK? Why bother even having the elections, just have those jerks vote. How can Kerry, Richardson and Kennedy, these so called icons of Democracy, totally ignore their constituents? I noticed that MA,CT and NM are not on the list jm posted, but to me they are glaring examples of Superdelegates subverting Democracy. The fact that there is no OUTCRY on the news or in the papers showing state by state how they f*cked Hillary over telling.

The corporate puppet that is BARACK OBAMA is about to steal this nomination which will hand the Presidency to the REPUBLICANS. I say that was the plan all along, use the right wing owned media to push your wolf in sheeps clothing corporate puppet to retain your power base.

I found it interesting when checking donations on HuffPo’s donation database that Barack had contributors that donated to him and to many REPUBLICAN candidates at the same time. One was that creep that bailed Rezco out of jail.
We’ve been had once again by the VAST RIGHT WING CONSPIRACY.

We really need a new party. Whilst the Greens and Libertarians are not going to attarct immense numbers of people, something like a Democratic Centrist Party would, if it adhered to the principles our party used to have.

http://www.myspace.com/helenrose44 Pittsburgh4Hillary08

I think a Centralist party is what we need and I believe the country is ready for it. We need Hillary to head this party. We need to figure out how to get her to quit the Democrats since they have been screwing her for years anyway. And what is up with Obama and his bots wanting the Clintons to help him win. Bill and Hillary need to ignore him and leave the party. That way it looks like more then 30 years without a Democratic win remember Bills 8 years are HIS and not the Party if He becomes an I then that is what the History books will show.

The Clintons a well as Gore are reps of the Centrist Faction in the Democratic Party…This faction was called the New Democrats and took on the Left and shifted the party platform to the center in the 90′s…That’s what this piss fight is about…DONNA PUTIN CANNOT EVEN COME WITH A NEW NAME FOR HER FACTION OF OBAFASCISTS…NOT AN ORIGINAL THOUGHT COMES OUT OF THAT WOMAN….MUST BE THE DEAD ANIMAL ON HER HEAD THAT CALLS THE SHOTS !…..sheeesh !

They aren’t the architects. She texts back Hillary supporters personally, for God’s sakes, and calls them “vile.” Nobody that unprofessional could run anything but some administrative post. She does that poorly, too.

With the expectation that all dissatisfied voters will just fall in line (the most offensive directing the women to just be good girls and support Obama).

Remind these Obama supporters that McCain was John Kerry’s first choice for VP.
That’s right, before Kerry offered the VP slot to Edwards he offered it to McCain who turned it down. When people ask “you can’t vote for McCain” tell them that “I can vote for John Kerry’s first choice for Veep.”

Wow…….I didn’t know that!

Amazing. OK, I’ll listen more to McCain.

I can’t stand his war stance, though. *arrrggghhhh*

EricaLeigh

Well, regarding his war stance, unlike almost all other member of the Senate, he actually has a son serving in Iraq. If that’s not motivation to do the right thing and withdraw in a sensible way, I don’t know what is…just saying.

I’m another who will be looking at McCain if Obama is crowned. And it wouldn’t be sour grapes, or “poor losing.” I’ve lost plenty in life, I can handle that, but I refuse to take part in the ultimate corruption that would be represented by a vote for Obama.

terri

Yes, I thought about that already. I wish if Hillary gets ripped off by the Dems, she would go over and be McCain’s VP. Don’t think the D. C. Dems aren’t pooping their pants worrying about that, either. It would be an invincible ticket and maybe we would finally have two people in office who the PEOPLE of this country really want and not a media, Washington insider manufactured president.

EricaLeigh

This crossed my mind, too.

At this point, if it’s not Hillary for President–by far my first choice–I’d rather she be McCain’s VP than Obama’s.

After all, Hillary and McCain both have strong reputations for working across the aisle to get things done.

Hey Senator McCain–how about extending your invitation to travel to Iraq to Hillary instead of Obama. You know Obama doesn’t like to debate, or stump for votes, or hold Armed Forces subcommittee meetings, or meet with generals, or take stands on major issues. Hillary on the other hand…the two of you could really get some things accomplised.

Here’s a better video of Revolution

It’s a little older, from the ’60s
Susan1968

I’ve noticed an odd and totally unscientific poll of my own.

People I expect to be pro-Obama are, well, not pro-Obama.

I have a client, young (28), college educated, female AA entrepreneur, clearly the prime Obama demographic. I have not engaged her in political discussions for my own career reasons.

However, she brought it up and, to my surprise, she’s pro-Hillary. She started by saying she was angered by how HRC is being treated in the press and that the Clintons are being unfairly painted as racists. She also said she feels Obama is inexperienced and (her word) insincere. She added that her Mom, a successful business owner, feels the same way. And both of them were negatively impacted by Rev. Wright. She did say that only her 20-something brother remains a loyal Obama supporter.

I’m a New Yorker transplated to Florida (by a now ex-hubby) and when I talked politics to my NYC friends I expected them to be pro-Obama. So far, six college educated professionals are not. They feel the DNC is forcing this candidate on us. The daughter of one of my friends just graduated Law School last week. I expected her to be pro-Obama. Nope. And she mentioned that several of her law school friends feel the same way.

So I’m wondering why, in my circle of liberal “Obama demo” friends and associates, why are they defying the demographic and supporting Hillary.

Could this be a sign of erosion in Obama supporters which the press and the DNC totally ignores.

yttik

In part it’s due to the media steriotyping voters. I’ve posted before about how black people in my area are Hillary supporters. It was kind of funny to go to the county convention and see the Obama section as a sea of white faces, while all the diversity was in the Clinton section. It’s not the story being told by the media, they put demographic groups into little boxes and expect them to stay put.

http://deleted AnninCa

Interesting observation. I’ve seen that, too. Some of Hillary’s strongest supporters are coming from the AA group. I presume that’s because they have to buck the tide in their world, and that tends to make you stronger, not weaker.
hillarysmygirl

I’ve thought this all along, that the “groups” we fall into are not what the media tries to portray. My Jewish in-laws in their 70′s are Obama supporters, as well as their 30-something son (not my husband). His wife, a doctor, supports Hillary. My Jewish husband and I (college-educated, higher income) are Hillary supporters. Our Jewish friends (a teacher and an ad exec) support Obama. My yoga teacher (lower income, high school grad) supports Obama. None of us fall into the stereotypes because there really are no stereotypes as far as I can tell. The only categories I see are these:

Obama supporters: Gullible, naive, sheltered. Either very angry or very sweet and misguided.

Hillary supporters: Care more about what their candidate can actually do as opposed to the “image.” More aware, have more common sense, have more empathy, compassion and maturity.

Nicole

It was “fixed” from the start: there have always been degreed professionals supporting Hillary–many, including on this site and elsewhere in the blogosphere–but that information has been suppressed and/or ignored. What’s only been highlighted is Hillary’s support from the so-called blue-collar segment–the high-school educated working class. Of course her support is much, much broader–any thinking person can see that Hillary is the only choice for POTUS. It makes you wonder how these companies have been conducting their polls…

http://deleted AnninCa

I think it’s just cheap writing, that’s all. They take the demographics and extrapolate to a point of absurdity.

There is, indeed, information about trends. But it’s rather silly this year.

The one stat that IS definitely profound is 90% AA vote for Obama. But even that has most of us going, “Makes sense. I can see that.”

What’s fascinating to me is to see how the exit polls are ignored. They show her regaining that support if he loses. Nothing like the Clyburn threat of blood in the street. The typical AA voter who went for Obama apparently ISN’T as mad at the Clintons as Obama would like.

But that has gotten virtually not attention.

Everytime I see some writer sniffing around the exit polls who is an Obama supporter, they say, “Exit polls are inaccurate.” LOL*

BS. They can’t stand the truth, that’s all.

Bill and Hillary did an absolutely excellent job of swallowing the race card and going right back to their AA voters, apologizing profusely over and over, and saying they understood why they were supporting Obama. They showed up to events where the air was thick with disapproval. They stood there and took it and reassured audience after audience. It got them negative press. They didn’t care. They spoke to real people.

Sorry Obama, but that is how you really campaign. You go to real people. You don’t play to the press.

As a result, I do not believe the AA community is mad at all at Hillary.

beebop

The people questioning me about my decision to vote for McCain know significantly less about this primary season than I do. I don’t have to explain myself or my position to any of them. I am at peace with my choice and confident that there are enough men and women like me who will keep Barack Obama from ever putting the salutation “President” in front of his name. That is why we are voting for McCain. For an America still with some value and standing in the world four years from now when Hillary can take a run at it again. That is my fondest dream. This election cycle was a set up from the get go.

I’m not seeing Obama nearly as inevitable as even a week ago. It’s interesting. The dynamic is STILL playing out.

Her momentum is STILL growing, not waning.

Even though there’s only 3 races left, she continues to collect the only support that matters in fact: the Will of the People.

This coup is failing on the part of Dean, Pelosi, Kennedy, Kerry, Obama, Axelrod, and his idiotic surrogates who actually have managed to take their moment of press attention and turn off more voters than not.

It’s failing. I can sense a change in the air.

They are going to get the butts whupped. And it’s not turning out like they imagined. They really thought they could be steamrollers and tear down the candidate and that everyone would just go along with Obama, the AA man with no record to even dispute.

They were wrong. They have not only triggered off a white backlash, which is never smart, but they have triggered a female backlash, which is really dumb since women have long memories, and they have triggered off deep feelings of resentment among people who have been called names that nobody should be called simply because they didn’t have the opportunity to go to college. They have triggered off a massive backlash that is obvious and clear as a wart on your nose.

Payback is going to hurt, too.

Florida court throws out DNC suit

(CNN) — A Florida court threw out a lawsuit Wednesday challenging the Democratic Party’s decision not to seat delegates from Florida — as litigants prepared to appeal the case to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Political consultant Victor DiMaio and his lawyer Michael Steinberg had compared the party’s decision to earlier prohibitions against allowing African-Americans to vote and invoked the trauma of the Florida recount in the 2000 contest between Al Gore and George W. Bush, both arguments also used by Hillary Clinton to support the seating of the state’s delegates.

“This is nuts. This is not right. How can they remove Florida after all the things that Florida has suffered through– hanging chads, through Bush v Gore, and they’re sticking it to us again,” DiMaio said before the hearing.

Democratic Party chairman Howard Dean says the situations are not comparable.

“You cannot violate the rules of the process and then expect to get forgiven for it,” he said.

Judge Richard Lazarra sided with the party, saying political parties have the right to make their own rules.

DiMaio’s is the second Florida lawsuit protesting the Democratic Party’s decision to be thrown out of court. An earlier one filed by Sen. Bill Nelson and Rep. Alcee Hastings, both Florida Democrats, was also dismissed.

I loved it till I saw the Independence Party check mark. I don’t know about the rest of you, but that party is corrupt where I am. I could do hours on it. So the important thing is to remember that “INDEPENDENCE PARTY” and INDEPENDENT are NOT the same thing. mkay?

I’m kind of thinking differently these days. Unless somebody like Hillary started a third party or ran independent, I am NOT leaving the Democratic party. I am part of the MAJORITY, not part of the fringe. The fringe needs to learn its lesson, not me. We need to give them that lesson with our votes,send THEM back to their unsuccessul fringe parties, and let them know that they tried to hijack us before and failed and they will fail again. I think we should let them know who their Daddy is, not leave the party. Food for thought.

Democrats in Florida and Michigan need to communicate with the DNC. They need to do that by changing their party registration to Independent. Once the DNC realizes they have left the Democratic party, they may realize they have started a revolution.

I’m in FL. Hillary’s lead over Obama has remained steadfast over all these months.

This swing state will easily swing to McCain in November.

Gallup Poll

PRINCETON, NJ — In the 20 states where Hillary Clinton has claimed victory in the 2008 Democratic primary and caucus elections (winning the popular vote), she has led John McCain in Gallup Poll Daily trial heats for the general election over the past two weeks of Gallup Poll Daily tracking by 50% to 43%. In those same states, Barack Obama is about tied with McCain among national registered voters, 45% to 46%.

I just watched some snarky video from Fox News, entitled “Conspiracy Theory”, and the overly botoxed and scary looking anchors, and a snotty “correspondent” from Politico were ridiculing Bill Clinton for claiming that Hillary is the victim of a cover-up. You could actually see the eye-rolling amongst the scary talking heads as they discussed it. Bill Clinton believes that Obama’s camp and others have been covering up the fact that Hillary is winning in terms of the General Election.

The snarky snots said sarcastically that ‘the only problem with his theory is this is NOT the general election, and Hillary is fighting Obama for the nomination and it’s “highly improbable” that she’d get it away from him’ God, it was awful to watch.

I find it so fucking ironic that these same people are the ones that Bill is talking about, and there they are doing exactly what he accuses them of doing. They mentioned that Bill was upset that she was treated with such disrespect, in a way no other candidate has been treated, and while these botoxed idiots talked about it, they were being completely rude and disrespectful.

We have to remember that the media is first and foremost republican. There is no “liberal” media that the GOP has whined about all these years. There are some AP people that are truly mesmorized by Obama, but the truth is they do this same thing every election now… puff up the weakest candidate, then rip them to shreds once they get the nomination. There is a reason WHY Kerry got the decent treatment during the primary, and Edwards got ridiculed in 2004.

little story about broadcasters (as I see them)

when I joined the Army I didn’t go in WANTING to be a journalist/broadcaster – the ARMY gave me a list of MOS’s (fields) I qualified for and of the list, journalism school sounded the most interesting.

Broadcasting was an off shoot of that and something I acquired as a secondary MOS

It was a fun yet scary job. Scary because (to me) knowing I was being watched by all those G.I.’s etc and that they would know me (my name) forever more (getting published in Stars and Stripes was cool, I admit) … but broadcasting!! that was kinda scary.

Well, I’ve concluded that to WANT that job you have to LOVE the attention and adulation so much that the scary goes away……….

so these media guys REALLY HATE IT when you blame them or tell them they SUCK BAD!!! Their monster egos can’t take it and they will seek a way to even the score.

these people have no shame

Great video! To be realistic about the general election, if HRC does not get the nod and if she’s not running as an independent, the only way to vote against the Democratic Party is to vote for McCain. Me personally, I’ve come to believe that the DNC needs to be sent a message that the orchestrated gang bang by the media and the DNC against HRC cannot be tolerated. Even if Hillary, for the sake of the party and old relationships is offered the veep spot, I would not vote for that ticket. I also feel a veep spot is an insult and is a way for the Obama team to sideline HRC for four years if the Dems can pull out a win. Not acceptable. Men behaving badly should not be rewarded.
