Dear Democratic Party: It’s Not Me, It’s You

By dcmediagirl on August 30, 2008 at 8:22 PM in Current Affairs

The Democratic party is at a crossroads. Only the party mandarins can decide whether to try to right the ship and steer it on the right course or whether to allow the creaky vessel to hit the iceberg. Given what I’ve seen up to this point I’m not exactly holding my breath.

Seriously, how screwed up is an election cycle, how badly has a party go off the rails when John McCain of all people, during his VP announcement, evokes the anniversary of women’s suffrage and says about Sarah Palin “she stands up for what’s right and doesn’t let anyone tell her to sit down”, an obvious reference to Hillary Clinton and a plea to her millions of disgusted voters? How badly has the Democratic party screwed the pooch if the Republicans, of all people, are setting an example in the areas of celebrating strong women and not punishing voters by stripping their states of their entire slate of delegates? How badly have things gone wrong when John f’ing McCain is showing Hillary Clinton respect while the Pelosis, Reids, Deans, Dodds and Leahys of the world have done a driveby on one of their own and fled the scene of the crime?

There is an unwillingness in many quarters, including the DNC, the MSM, the left wing blogosphere, Air America radio and others to acknowledge what is painfully obvious to those of us at No Quarter, which is that there are a lot of loyal Democrats who are seriously considering voting Republican in the fall. This is a development that’s left many Democrats understandably conflicted and miserable, but it’s not solely about Obama. It’s about the grotesque mismanagement of the party and the unwillingness of Howard Dean and others to come to the defense of a serious candidate who was under continuous assault throughout the course of the nomination campaign. These alienated voters would like the party to explain why the party deserves their loyalty when the DNC has shown non only disloyalty, but complete contempt for Hillary Clinton. Why weren’t Howard Dean and Donna Brazile going out every day demanding and end to the pornographically sexist treatment and abuse of one of their own? Why did they drag their heels on the Florida and Michigan issue, eventually awarding Obama delegates he neither campaigned for nor won?

It’s easy to write off the angry Hillary voters as just a bunch of sore losers, or racists, or closet Republicans. Do that if it makes you feel better. But all I can say is that when loyal Democrats start to seriously weigh the possibility of voting for Republican then it’s the Democratic party that needs to take an inventory.

Sorry Democratic party. It’s not us, it’s you.

I think most of us decided to vote for McCain as soon as Hillary was forced to suspend her campaign.

Media girl

did you mean the ex-Democratic Party. As I don’t know that the Americans now have a Democratic Party! i would appreciate it if you cleared up the confusion by referring to what’s currently available for vote-consumers as the Ex-Democratic Party.

Periodically, Barry felt low down, and started launching attacks against Hillary….

See Obama’s youtube mega-hit:

“Obama Gives HIllary the Finger” – with his JayZ rapper act, dusting off and scraping off HIllary, smirking and waiting for his equally juvenile audience to ‘clue in’.

“Pumas Give Obama the Finger in the Voting Booth”
–premieres November 5th at a theater close to you!

Come November, Sweetie will just have to “get over it”!

stiny is jealous of Palin for getting the job he could have had.

McCain LISTENED. He made a bold move.
I applaud his bringing a woman on board.

I will not support a democratic candidate who was not the choice of the democratic majority, and who has no integrity or experience.

So I’m strangely leaning toward the candidate with ethics whose values are mostly opposite mine.

vi Says:
I see that the sexism and slandering along with the nasty comments have begun, Im definietly voting McCain, and i urge all to vote , a slient vote, a third party vote a sign in vote is a vote for O, it is not ok for the Dnc and O campaign to use there bloggers to do the dirty work, I urge all supporters of Hill and now McCain and Palin, start coping those post from the idiotObots, and start sending them out and posting them to blogs along with the commenter name, and sight, copy and send to McCain and make sure u let them know your a democrat that supported Hillary and you are outraged about the sexism the Obama campaign and pundants lashed out at hillary, and to make sure they eye these and address each pundants and media commentator, such as the dumb dumbs of Nbc, Msnbc, Daily Kos, everywhere, let them know we are not going to allow this again and no one address it. Post some comments with a statement to Fox news, Oreilly and ask them to put a stop to demeaning a candidate with sexism before they can lash out stupidity more.

Ask them to read the comments with the names and blogs that are doing so, not only o supporters

Heck and start sending them out to the papers , and lets see how much we can call attention to these fools, if you cannot blog on merit and issues, it does not belong here, and Hill suporters need to stand ground and lash back at their stupidity , since really non of O supporters can really address issues, other than the word Change, , over and over and ask them how he will change it , they call you raciest and dirty names, be very scared obots, Palin and Mccain will gain more votes by those statements upsetting more and more woman, O will be the defeat of the obama supporters and his dirty radical terrorist friends, nobama ever McCAin and Palin , have my vote, im disgusted with the Dnc and O campaign, period, and i have alread posted on myspace and several other sights nastyness of O supporters fight back and stand as one, one voice one vote NObama and definietly send toe the McCain campaign to address the pundants.

now that’s a strategy

http://lnab.newsvine.com/ Linda

fact is this was a coup d’etat to install Obama

they didn’t care what or who they had to destroy to do it either

well, they got their wish for what it’s worth

not much IMHO because at the end of this there are going to be one of two results

Obama wins, the Democratic party is dead…over. The backbone people are going to leave

McCain wins…heads roll and hopefully Bill and Hill headup the cleaning crew

Fenelon spoke

My feeling exactly, Linda-that it was a coup d’etat to install Obama. That’s another thing that upset me-the sham of a convention.

mimi

Yes it was coup. They’ve been planning it since before 2004.

Operation Stop Hillary!

The don’t care about how they ‘ve insulted and offended loyal Party members. And they’re still doing it.

Fine.

WIN WITHOUT ME!

Let’s change that to :

I am a Democrat and I agree with all that is being said here. I am voting for McCain/Palin.

No Way-No How-NoObama!

Monet

Senator Edwards perked my interest first, when he dropped out, I transferred my support to Senator Clinton. I was labeled a racist in those days. When Senator Clinton suspended her campaign I studied the remaining major and third party candidates, chose Senator McCain and became a racist who was also a crybaby, whiner, sore loser who couldn’t get over it. Now that I’m still supporting Sen. McCain after he chose Gov. Palin for his running mate, I’m probably a racist, crybaby, whiner, sore loser, frigid, feminist with lesbian leanings. If that’s the new definition of an independent with a strong past record of voting for Democratic Party candidates, they probably won’t miss my vote. A swing voter in a swing state, Senator Obama won’t need me – he’s said so. Heck, he couldn’t even be bothered to make sure his name was on the primary ballot in my state.

Senator McCain on the other hand, has said he needs my vote. He isn’t even promising me anything. He’s not pandering to any of my social issue leanings. In fact, he’s told me to forget him using all of his might to protect Roe v. Wade and bring health insurance to every American. What he is promising to do is to listen to every American and to put America first, not his self-interest. He has a twenty-five plus year record in Congress going against his self-interest and putting America first. Senator McCain has made mistakes, but when he’s has, he’s corrected them, not told Americans they’re crybaby, racist feminists who aren’t worthy to vote for him. Overall, his record shows a politician who is willing to change with the times and more often than not, his judgment makes the right choice. Senator Obama, unfortunately, doesn’t have that record. His judgment shows a politician who has consistently chosen the wrong supporters and a tendency to only show up to vote when it can help his nefarious supporters.

Senator McCain and Governor Palin may disagree with me on social issues but they understand America needs strong leadership to dig us out of this mess and I trust their judgment to do it over Senator Obama and his nefarious cronies’.

Fenelon spoke

Well said. I am a Democrat of 30 years. I voted for for Edwards. I was appalled at how Clinton was treated and the fraud in the caucuses, I was thinking of voting for Nader, but I Found McCain’s comments supportive of Clinton and I liked things about Palin. The fact that Plain is being tarred with such virulent sexism may put me over the edge to McCain. And it did NOT help to be verbally abused by Obama supporters, told that I was never a Democrat and almost run off off the road by an Obamabot when I had my Edwards sticker on my car during my primamry.

Andy

And it did NOT help to be verbally abused by Obama supporters, told that I was never a Democrat and almost run off off the road by an Obamabot when I had my Edwards sticker on my car during my primamry.

Typical … I didn’t put one on exactlky for that reason. Many of Obama’s supporters are insane, irrational and behave like thugs… How is it that Obama and only he attracks them? Interesting…

catherine

Bravo DC mediagirl! I hope you forward this to the DNC. Although, I don’t think it will sink in to them until the colossal defeat that not only will Nobama experience in November but also so many other back stabbers who are up for re-election.

Hillary 2012

http://hillaryorbust.blogspot.com Hillary or Bust

This is why, though, it is CRUCIAL for all PUMAs for VOTE MCCAIN even if they have to hold their nose to do it. A write-in won’t count. We MUST make sure Obama is defeated in November or the egg will be on OUR faces.

Rhyta

I cannot agree with you, if you vote for McCain now it ratifies the Repubs belief that women are so shallow that they will vote for a woman regardless of what her platform is. I think it was an insult to pander to Hillary supporters and then put forward someone so opposite to everything she stands for.

I have read this site for many months and I do agree with many things said about Obama, however I cannot see how it helps us to foist 4 more years of Republican rule on the country when we are suffering because their incompetence and craven actions.

As a democrat I was angry about the roll call and many other things.

Yet I cannot endorse a ticket that is so irresponsible, a man who is in such poor health seeks to put such an unknown quantity in a place of power has to be senile.

I just don’t get most of the posts here, they make no sense to me. Sure I am upset about many things the Dems have done but tearing the whole house down around our ears seems a bit extreme.

just my 2 cents

Ms J of FL

it would be shallow to vote for a MAN who is NOT QUALIFIED to be president, just because he’s black. it would be shallow to think that a VP who has had two brain anurisms, which by the way have a MUCH lower survival rate than melanoma, will compensate for a man who is not QUALIFIED to be president. your choice is clearly influenced by race & not qualifications.

SHV

I think “Obotism” is a contagious disease that destroys that part of the brain responsible for human decency. The vile attacks on women and now Fowler saying that the Hurricane headed for NO is “Hurricane is God’s Favor to Democrats”..these people have gone insane.

The idea that is be floated to turn the GOP convention into a relief fund raiser…in contrast to the $100 million Obamapalooza.

Heather

What the Obamapaloozalites don’t realize is that Gustav could be a blessing in disguise for the Reps. Rep convention was bound to suffer by comparison with the Dem in the glitz department, and now Gustav comes along and give them the perfect excuse for having a smaller, more workmanlike, convention. The idea of a telethon for hurricane victims turns the lemons to lemonade.

Not sure I believe in God, but if she does exist she may well be betting on the Reps this election.

Ms J of FL

lack of GLITZ does not cause suffering. it is a respectable way to hold a convention. DNC on the other hand ran a shamefully extravagant dramatic 4.5 mil production. HORRIFYING REPULSIVE EMBARRASING to grownup voters. get it? GLITZ belongs in a Britney concert.

roseeriter

Michael Moore said something similar about maybe there is a god since the hurricane was coming during the GOP convention.. These aren’t the Democrats I use to know.

NOBAMA!

Diana

Seriously. We need to get some short term goals together here now, other than the Nov election I mean. We need a list of sponsers for MSNBC and CNN. We need to go after Mattews not only for the things he said about Hillary, but his attacks on women in general. The same goes for Keith Olberman, and his attacks on women. We need to go after the CNN reporters that have now chosen to attack an innocent infant. We need someone to come up with some cover letters, and we need to start an actual petition to let these sponsers know we’re no longer going to sit back and watch this. When is enough, enough? Nor will we support them should they choose to support this behavior. I’m no longer content to just sit back and watch the things these people do and say.

Here’s a list of MSNBC sponsors.http://www.hillaryclintonforum.net/discussion/showthread.php?t=8097

Thank you very much Hope! I also saved the boycott organizer guide I think it will come in handy. I’ll read it tonight.

Call McCain what you want, but he has much better and more effective strategists. The DNC and the Obama campaign are lacking the empathy that would allow them to be menches.
WarriorofG-d

Whoever stated that Bill and Hill should clean up the Democrat in 2009- is a very good idea. I still love them- but as I said prior to this- this excellent article explains what I feel- and my feeling will continue until I pull the level for Mccain and Palin. You can’t call me a racist ( I am half colored)- and you can’t say I am a republican- I am a democrat that has smell the polluted party and realized that they are against women in power. Hillary will never be forgotten- but- we must make a protest vote- and they will have to clean up the party for 2012.
http://confloyd connie floyd

Excellent post. I have to say that I am happy for McCain that he chose to pick a woman for his running mate. I am still just plain sick about the democrats and what they done to smear a great candidate and one that would have made a great President, only to put in a fraud to satify the money man Soros.
Northwest rain

It DNC owns what they have done to the Democrat party — (The Democratic Party is dead).

What is left is the Chicago Machine since they have taken over the party. Moving the party headquarters out of DC and to a STATE — gives one state far too much power.

Funny thing Palin is everything that Barry Soetoro claimed to be.

Up is Down

Right now I don’t think I want to be a member of a party again. I’ll vote on strength of character.

Good article!!!!!!!!!!!

Party Loyalty is Garbage thinking Now. Precisely why I am now an Independent and will vote Best person regardless of party affiliation.

I am very impressed by Palin and this will be the first time I’ve ever voted for a republican.

http://www.theindependentview.com Matthew Weaver

I’ve been thinking along the same lines. McCain and Palin offer an opportunity to shake up both the Republican and Democratic parties. Neither are traditional Republicans. Their victory in November will change the face of the Republican Party plus have the welcomed collatoral damage of sweeping Obama, Dean, Pelosi, Brazile, the the nutroots fringe from the Democratic party.

nickoury

You left out Biden, unless dolts don’t count.

http://www.greensunshine.net jadwiga

Biden might have been strong armed into accepting the VP. Remember, he said it before that he didn’t want the job.
I don’t think he appreciates that Obama kissed his wife on the lips in front of a few ten millions of people.

These people don’t stop at anything.

TO STAY SILENT IS HELPING THEM.

Vote for McCain to stop the crime! Not even GW Bush is this dirty.

If we stick together, election by election we can remove all these dirty bastards.

Heather

I doubt that Michelle appreciated it either.

MrMike

For those of you interested in what I have to say, the turning point for me was when Greg Sargent at Talking Points Memo defended Dave Schiester, one of the three little sexist pigs (and I mean little in the human being sense, I think the failed former sports reporter is taller than me) for his comment about Bill and Hillary pimping Chelsea. A dismayed Hillary, upset that a so called journalist would stoop so low, said that a slap on the wrist three day suspension wasn’t enough. What she meant was for the heads at MSNBC to put a stop to the blatant misogyny exhibited by these envy cases. Sargent deliberately misconstrued this as a vendetta by Hillary to unfairly punish, by termination, a fellow “journalist” who had simply “misspoke”. A similar ~~diarrhea~~ diary appeared at Kos. Up until that time I had no dog in the Democrat race. I was content to cast my vote for the eventual winner, including Obama. If I leaned toward anybody besides Al Gore or Wes Clark it was John Edwards (Oh, how niaeve I was). Needless to say that all changed.

Diana

This is why I think we must set up some short term goals now, and expand those goals. I do not want to see Hillary come back in 2012, only to come back to even more slimeball attacks. Our mothers and grandmothers…Some of us helped to change the world and the way it thinks. Treats women, we can’t allow them to push us backwards now. I’m going to vote for McCain/Palin this year, but I want to ensure this never happens again to another candidate on either side. Male or Female. The fact that they’ve decided to continue on in those attack with now attacking an innocent infant. It has to stop now or it never will. Baby steps, but together we can shake things up in more than just the GE.

mary

Diana

you’re right on! Baby steps is what’s needed to uproot Misogyny from the Media. the Chinese say the journey of a thousand miles begins with one small step.

CNN put together with Carol Costelo and Marie Cocco with Howard Kurtz moderator a short video
“Sexism in the Media” back in May 25th I believe.
that and Women’s media Centre’s phenomenal
“Sexism Sells, but we’re not Buying” should be made our bibles to make our case.

Hillary should help to legislate anti-woman-hatred laws that will have stiff fines for sexism in media and make it as illegal and not-cool as racism!

Imus got fired. Chris matthews and Olberman are still on-air with their vitriol! I understand a lawsuit has been commenced against Chris Matthews and MSNBC and they want him to resign!
Hillary supporters started this last month and I believe Just say no Deal and ClintonDems are involved and some well-known women.

MISOGYNY MUST END. IT BEGINS WITH OBAMA’S LOSING THE ELECTION.

COME NOVEMBER, SWEETIE WILL HAVE TO GET OVER IT!

Michael

Mccain is brilliant. She has been in public life since 1992; Obama since 1997. She has had executive experience. She has taken on her own party, something Obama did not do in the swamp of corrupt Chicago machine politices and something the Clintons did not do this year. She wants to raise taxes on oil companies and gave rebates to help with fuel costs. What has Obama ever done? Talk about dreams and hope. I am done with the Democrats after 40 years and maybe even with the Clintons who I previously admired for standing up to the liberal wing of the democratic party. She is more prepared to be president than Obama.

LandOLincoln

Michael, the Clintons are standing up to the hijacking of the party by the Chicago Machine, they’re just doing it under the radar, by means of ~~dog~~ cat whistles to us PUMAs.

However, while yesterday I was delirious about McCain’s choice of a tough, feminist, accomplished (and drop-dead gorgeous) woman who also happens to be a damned good shot (as I am myself, as a matter of fact, ahem) today I got the news–from a friend who was as delirious as I was, yesterday– that Palin shoots wolves from airplanes.

If true, this is a dealbreaker for me. I don’t care if she shoots wolves from airplanes, from snowshoes or from horseback, it’s Cheney territory and if it’s true, I’m back to choosing between Canada and Old Mexico no matter to which of their pod people the PTB give the nod in November.

In the meantime, I’m watching and waiting. I’ve seen this flick before. It was better the first time.
msliberal

Sorry you feel that way about the Clintons. I feel Bill and Hillary did what they had to do at the convention. The only effective way to clean up the party is from within. That is why I am staying and I believe that is why the Clintons decided not to blow it apart at the convention.

I am one of the five percent of African-Americans who will not be voting for Obama and I will not leave the party. It is my party. After his landslide loss in November he will be of no consequence. After all Democrats no longer recycle nominees.

JM08

I agree with Diana. We have already sat by once and seen MSNBC and CNN trash Hillary. Are we going to let it happen all over again with Sarah ? It is time to draw a line in the sand. The internet is a POWERFUL tool. I am not a woman, but I have a daughter, and I want her to grow up knowing anything is possible. It is time to put these people in the MSM on notice.
http://mccaindemocrats.wordpress.com/ 30yrdem-not any more

It’s not us it’s you!

YES! We see more of what America is about in McCain and the republican’s than we do in the democrats.

They took votes and gave them away right in front of our eyes and thought we wouldn’t care….They didn’t stand up for Clinton, she was bashed by Obama’s Reverend, Father Pfleger…and nothing….the media…nothing…they fixed this race, it was being planed long ago.
http://hillaryorbust.blogspot.com Hillary or Bust

I just saw the end of McCain’s appearance at Saddleback (it’s on FOX). Wow, he actually impressed me. I am really hoping that he wins, sincerely. I have become more impressed with him as the campaign has progressed and I feel we will be in good hands if he becomes president.

Until 2012 when Hillary takes over and then we’ll be in even better hands

Great post Dcmediagirl!

Two great video’s of sarah palin. will help you to get to know her. The more I know the more I like. She calls some men neanderthals and she supported Ron Paul. why is that great? Because he is a compassionate conservative and I read his book Revolution which is short and to the point. I would reccomend anyone to read it to learn more about this woman.

I just spent the last hour on the O blog campaign site, copying and pasting and taking screen shots. I am sick to my stomach. Let me just say this, there is nothing they won’t try to throw at her, and all the planning and sick suggestions are mind boggling.There is no fair play whatsoever(I knew it was gone with Senator Clinton and all the bashing), but the comments and sick, sick things I read, are unreal.

Here is a tame example of a strategy:

By Barath Today at 12:52 am EDT (Updated Today at 12:52 am EDT)
Al Giordano has written a great guide that everyone should read here. Please pass it on and post it in future threads:

Link

Here’s an excerpt:

Criticizing, ridiculing, and/or condemning GOP vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin for her slavish devotion to oil company destruction of the natural environment, for her efforts to criminalize abortion, for her crusade to force schoolchildren learn creationism as “science,” for her record in public office (which is only now coming into focus), for her support of Pat Buchanan for president in 2000 (at a time when Buchanan’s anti-semitism was no secret), for her lack of knowledge of foreign policy (or even much domestic policy as it applies to the mainland states), for her unpreparedness to be commander-in-chief, is all well and good.

Mocking her “celebrity” status in the coming weeks as she’ll be on the cover of every glossy magazine on earth, and having good fun with her other her evident eccentricities – she seems very much a weirdo freakazoid (not that it’s a bad thing, I find it endearing) – all seem to me to be within the bounds of fair political discourse.

But here’s what this blog won’t do, and asks its commenters to follow suit:

Attacks on a mother for working when she has kids at home are a misogynist attack on every working mother, and, yes, including when one of those kids has special needs. Attacks on her personal decisions of how many children to have, and at what age to have them, are as anti-choice in sentiment as are her policies. Such attacks are also politically stupid, because they can only generate deserved sympathy among single moms and their kids who are otherwise- if you don’t screw it up – already voting for Obama in big numbers. (We’ve just lived through a season where Obama was blamed for every act of sexism in the media or by anybody else for the past 5,000 years, let’s not get that Rock-o-la spinning its tune again.)

Oh, and although it might be meant in good fun, don’t ask her if she knows how many igloos she owns… Or why she named her kids Exxon, Mobil, Shell, Sunoco and BP!

These are truly smears and this woman is nothing like they are trying to paint her. the more I know of her, the more I like her.

Governor Sarah Palin is our answer to alternative energy and a clean environment among other things. She has so much to bring to the table. She is anti-corruption and she is going to do this country a lot of good. She is a perfect fit for Mccain. Oh this ticket has suddently gotten exciting. Amazing isn’t it? It’s all about the issues. Words, looks, gender don’t matter as much as having people who can fix this broken country and to vote for them. Sitting this out is a vote for Obama dictatorship. Think.
Mccain/Palin to stop Obama

candymarl

Yes, let’s bring Governor’s Palin’s children into this.

The igloo remark? They are aware that her husband is part Native Alaskan right? But that’s not racism now is it?

So let’s see, children, infants, and Native Alaskans and their culture are now fair game.

What is wrong with these people? Where did my party go?

Oy.

That’s really going to fly with Native Americans and latinos as well who have Indian blood.

This is why I despise 0bama. He’s put AAs in a position to have wear the collar for his disgusting ethics. Just to get elected.

I warned people about the white 0bama supporters crying racism and goading the black community.

These leftwingers are corrupt and dangerous. They have no allegiance except to their own point of view. They don’t care about real racism. They just want this puppet elected.

At this point who cares if the DNC, MSM etc get the point? They will get it in Novemember. I just hope Hillary refrains from helping Nobama any further. HE does not deserve it and I, as well as many of you, have put far too much time and effort into supporting her. I do not want my hard work to benefit him. Be careful in regatrd to writing Hillary in – read the state laws first. In some cases a vote for Hillary will be given to Obama and we have seen enough of that. Hillary – do not ask us to support Nobama anymore. Sit back, enjoy the show and prepare for 2012. Helping him may sour some of us on you.

CNN and MSNBC??? All propaganda! They will do anything for Obama. I yearn for news that reports facts and skips the opinion and commentary. They should be careful as if their golden boy Barak gets elected and they ever criticize him, well, he’s not really into free speech and they will get theirs

The DNC has turned into a sewer where people hope for death and destruction. Stay as far away from the O-bots as possible, they might hope you die so it makes them look good.

Yes, the Democratic party made enormous errors. However, PLEASE, in the name of Hillary, do not cast a vote for McCain and some other woman who stand AGAINST everything Hillary has fought for!!! Please, think about Hillary’s cause, think about healthcare!! The party will never “get it”, even if, God-forbid the ultra right wing wins this election, what will it prove?? Nothing, they will chalk it up to racism or something, but they won’t get it. The only loser then is all the Democrats who have to continue to suffer through Bush-like policies with a women who steps in what should have been Hillary’s place. I think you need to move past the party leaders errors and vote on the issues that matter most. If you have enjoyed Bush, then go for it and vote for this disasterous ticket of McCain/Palin, maybe they can undo the entire education system since she is such a strong supporter of home-schooling. Then, the Republicans can continue to win elections until the end of time since children can completely lose the ability to think!!

Two great video’s of sarah palin. will help you to get to know her. The more I know the more I like. She calls some men neanderthals and she supported Ron Paul. why is that great? Because he is a compassionate conservative and I read his book Revolution which is short and to the point. I would reccomend anyone to read it to learn more about this woman.

Hillary Clinton will never be president.

She must never be president.

She does not have the high ethical standards, integrity, honesty and character to be president of the United States.

She was fired for being an unethical, dishonest lawyer and a liar. That should have been the end of her political aspirations right then and there.

Our children deserve much, much better.

There are millions — and I am one of them — who will make sure the world knows and does not forget about Hillary Clinton’s record and legacy, iif she ever tries to run for president again.

Women who vote for women just because they are women and not because of their integrity, skills and abilities are, in my view, as ignorant as those who vote on the basis of skin colour or gender.

You mean the way children have lost their ability to think already. Not one of these new voters can tell you why they support 0bama. “Hope and Change.” And then a blank stare.

I believe in the Constitution. McCain can’t change anything more than Ronald Reagan. But an 0bama presidency will guarantee that it’ll be light years before we get another Democrat.

0bama stands for nothing. The Democratic Party is the Republican Party. They are a bunch of corrupt liars.

Pelosi hasn’t changed a damn thing. She took impeachment off the table. I’ll never forgive her for that. They haven’t done a damn thing and they try to pawn it all off on Bush. They all think we’re stupid. When in reality they are the idiots.

Things would be no better with 0bama. Look whose backing him. They arrested an abc producer for taking photos of the lobbyists they were having meetings with.

They’re all a bunch of corrupt politicians. 0bama’s already censoring the press.

Fuck off with these hysterical pleas for the Democratic Party. They’re dead to me. DEAD!

I was voting for McCain before I knew his VP choice. Palin’s presence on the ticket only solidified it. The only person McCain could have put on the ticket that I wouldn’t have voted for is Dick Cheney. I draw the line at Cheney.

I want nothing to do with Democrats until they come to their senses.

I wonder…is it possible to sue the DNC for fraud? I spent money on supporting Senator Clinton in her race under the assumption that she had a chance to win. If Obama’s nomination was planned and a foregone conclusion, then I would not have spent that money. I think the DNC owes me some damages for perpetrating a fraud. Maybe a class action suit would be in order.

I was wondering about that, too. Any lawyers around?

You’d need to prove the DNC had a legal duty to you as a voter. A DNC donator would have a better chance.

It’s spelt “disastrous”…a perfect qualifier to describe the strategy of the DNC/Democratic Party to ignore the will of more than half of its members and to push an unvetted, unfit, unproven candidate to the fore (while attempting to decapitate the best candidate they’ve had in decades).

Fenelon spoke

A person being a supporter of home schooling will not undo the education system. Unless a person is Amish they pay taxes which support the school system. Obama had millions from the health care industry. I do not believe he would advocate for National Care. He talks out of both sides of his mouth on FISA which I care about and campaign public financing which I care about. Obama knocked people off the ballot in IL on technicalities. He was sexist towards Clinton. He pays his female camapign workers less money than his male ones. He practiced FRAUD in the caucuses, the DNC went against democracy in MI and Fl and THEN there was the a sham of a conevntion, And I’m suuposed to reward the DNC and Obama with with my vote trusting that he’d do the right thing in November?!!. I will NEVER vote for Obama. It’s Nader or McCain; I think McCain has more integrity than Obama and he selected a woman as VP. I think Obama is is sexist.

mimi

Fenelon,

Your post says it all.

That’s 0bama. In a nutshell.

If you believe he’s going to get us healthcare, I’ve got some excellent swamp land for you.

Grow up!

The Democrats are just as corrupt. Ted Kennedy has been advocating for healthcare reform his whole career. It’s all been an act to get people to vote for them.

I no longer can be conned.

I know what I’m getting with McCain. I’m dug in for 4 more years and no one can get between me and my vote.

Nicole

I like your passion, Mimi!

At some point we are going to have to decide …. Do we want to take this party back and “right the ship” or are we going to let them have it and start a new party? A third party may be risky…but then again I sense there are disgruntled republicans along with us. Maybe there is room for another major party not just labeled vaguely as “independent”. If we called it the Orange Party (Orange for protest against voter fraud) and had a Puma as a mascot, we could represent all those in the middle who get flung to extremes each election year. With such a moderate party we might finally have a voice and a political party who actually gets things done.

I’m all for righting the ship but if that’s not possible then I’m out of the democratic party for good.

For now though, I am not a Blue Democrat or a Red Republican. I’m calling myself an Orange Puma. And my motto is “America First”.

Excellent “It’s Not Me, It’s You” well written.

I hope the person who posted the caution on writing in “Hillary’s name” as will be given to Obama instead (something like they did to the delegates in Michigan) but they are correct. A write in vote in most states doesn’t even count and automatically goes to the party nominee. Believe it folks and check out your own state laws. Don’t waste your time.

We have been reprimanded by Puma’s not to keep telling people this as they already know it (ON their blog, but I am not Sure that they DO???? The sure fire way to defeat Obama is:
Highest priority: A Vote for McCain cancels out a vote for Obama. Some people just don’t understand that and prefer to do one of the latter. Doesn’t help defeat Obama folks. (No I am not a Republican and I cringe at that thought but sometimes we have to do some things we don’t like to achieve what we do like and that is defeat Obama. I am 48 yr voting democrat. We HAVE NO DEMOCRATIC PARTY ANYMORE AND I HAVE NO MORE ALLEGIANCE TO THEM.

If you just want to protest and don’t care whether or not Obama wins or not, stay home, or vote for a losing alternative candidate, either way your vote isn’t going to matter, same with writing in Hillary.
To many problems with writein votes and they don’t even report them in the news if you have noticed.

THE DNC IS EVIL. FOWLER LAUGHING AT PEOPLE GETTING KILLED IN THE HURRICANE BECAUSE IT WILL RUIN THE REPUBS CONVENTION!!!! EVIL!!!! THEN HE MADE SEXIST COMMENTS ABOUT PALIN!!!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TrBus8ORR78
jimbo

palin is a creationist. As such she can only be defined as ignorant. We have enough ignorance in this country (just look at the dnc and pelosi), we cannot tolerate the damage that can be done by someone like palin (think cheney and what he has done). I have been vocally anti-obama, and completely desrespect him and his, but I will vote against any creationist, or any party that panders religion. Work with Larry, Berg and any others who are trying to derail obama and get us a nominee that is best for America.

RepublicanChick

You obviously don’t know squat about her views regarding Creationism. Ignorant is your comment without at leasting Googling the information:

And in October of 2006, the Anchorage Daily News reported that Palin said the following about creationism at a debate:

“Teach both. You know, don’t be afraid of information….Healthy debate is so important and it’s so valuable in our schools. I am a proponent of teaching both. And you know, I say this too as the daughter of a science teacher. Growing up with being so privileged and blessed to be given a lot of information on, on both sides of the subject — creationism and evolution. It’s been a healthy foundation for me. But don’t be afraid of information and let kids debate both sides.”

RepublicanChick

*leasting* oops should have been “at least”

roseeriter

First off jimbo- grow up. Who cares how we all started- That’s a philosophical question humans have been asking since the beginning. Organized religions are man-made and all the thinking in them is suspect. Take with a grain of salt.

Elections are about capability to lead with some honesty, integrity with allegiance to America,

Everything in Obama and Michele’s background suggests otherwise and should be suspect.

Party affiliation is moot to me now.

RepublicanChick

“Palin’s parents say they are not political and don’t know how she decided to turn her ambition and work ethic toward politics. Her Christian faith, they say, came from her mother, who took her children to area Bible churches as they were growing up (Sarah is the third of four siblings). They say her faith has been steady since high school, when she led the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, and grew stronger as she sought out believers in her college years. Palin doesn’t brandish her religion on the campaign trail, but that doesn’t prevent others from doing so. After she was first elected mayor, her predecessor, John Stein, objected that a Valley cable TV program had hailed her as Wasilla’s first ‘Christian mayor.’ In a column for the local newspaper, he named eight previous mayors and added that he, too, was a Christian, despite a name that led some voters to suspect ‘I must be a non-Christian, have non-Christian blood or at least have sympathized with a non-Christian sometime in my career.’”

****

I am tired of the ignorance on both sides of this country. Just because we’re Christian conservatives does not make us zealots. Are there some wacky ones? Hell yeah! However, there are equal amounts of idiots on the Left. I believe we’re seeing more and more crawling out of the woodwork.

COUNTRY BEFORE PARTY!

The truth is that Palin DID already stand strong and fought against the repubs, even though she might have lost – but it had just the opposite effect.

I have always thought that Hillary should’ve kept her fight and she’d be the next president.

But she did NOT.

I am voting for McCain and I really like Palin because she has already proven she is a strong woman and took country over party. That’s a candidate I can live with and a candidate I will vote for. In fact, it was Hillary’s bold fight that attracted me to her, but when she gave up the fight, she lost me.

I think Palin is in for a big fight from the good ol boys who RULE the democrat party. AND GUESS WHAT? WHAT HILLARY STARTED – PALIN WILL FINISH.

A poster above is correct that Obama is not the descendant of slaves.

Indeed, according to the Baltimore Sun, some of his white ancestors on his mother’s side (also connected to Dick Cheney) were slave owners.

Moreover, Barck’s Kenyan dad was a member of the Luo tribe. From 1700 to 1850, the Luos rounded up rival tries and sold them to Arab slavetraders based on the island of Zanzibar. That’s how the Luo became a primarily Muslim tribe in otherwise Christian Kenya.
bayareavoter

Good post. Brazile said they don’t need us anymore. Well, we’ll all find out in 2 months if she’s right.

Ted Kennedy (I’m sorry he’s ill) is such a hypocrite–asking Sen Clinton to release her delegates for the sake of unity. He took his candidacy, with a meager number of delegates, all the way to a floor fight against a sitting President (Carter).

Do you really think that if Biden or Edwards had accrued 18 million votes and Obama hadn’t received enough delegates to be the nominee and they were nearly tied in delegates (don’t even think about MI and FL) the DNC would have forced them out?

I know Dean, Pelosi and Brazile have been working on the Obama coronation since 2004 but what happened to the rest of the party?

First time in almost 40 yrs my husband and I are voting Republican. It’s not about Hillary–it’s about a party purge.

Well we agree lets get to work and start copying those post on the o sights and have Fox record every sexist thing that the other media outlets allow the pundants and newsman to state, lets call attention to many woman and men on what the tactics of Obama campaign and bloggers along with the Dnc to pass on the stupidit. of O supporters. Lets make it loud and clear to the Republican party we will not tolerate this, and that they must stand up and fight this, and show respect for their vp, and not be like the democratic party and stand by and watch the media tear down Hillarys accomplishment, they failed in speaking up for the best possible candidate .
So lets get to work and copying all those post and blog sights that tell lies, and all the nasty comments from the users attacking woman, I am a Hillary supporter and all those pundants saying we will not vote McCain because we vote issues, well remember how they turned their back on us, when we questioned Obama experience, and chicago politics, along with his terrorist friends and voter fraud at the caucusses, so lets start forcing them not to speak for us, because we are the new party who believes in democracy and votes experience and character, along with the record.

Remember copy and post the names and statements along with the sights and lets but a muzzle on those sexist pigs, and remember to speak loudly about the woman supporters and pundants that will do the dirty work for Obama, , they want to tear down palin, well lets make sure they know we are all listening as men and woman, that do not condone this dirty style politics, , talk issues and record along with experience or shut the hell up. I won my vote and will not be a silent vote for O , a sign in vote for Hillary, a third party vote, or a fall in line vote for party supporting Obama, It is not ok to use sexism and racism in an election, and no one spoke out for hillary so we must speak out for Palin, and hope that the republican party come out hitting hard and fast against the Obama campaign and the DNC, they must throw everything out there about Obama, fast and leaving him scurring to attack the issues, knock him off his feet, and let him begin to hide behind the party. Nobama ever. McCain Palin 2008
Kate

The simple truth is Obama is no liberal.

He has supported continued Big Brotherism surveillance, off shore oil drilling, has a very corrupt past, and ran a sexist campaign. After the announcement of Palin as McCain’s VP choice I felt I MUST vote for Obama to ensure that Palin never becomes President (anti-choice, even anti-contraception).

I have since changed my mind. The DNC has been co-opted by corporations, or the left has been co-opted by the right (just check out Huffington Post, she is no feminist and never has been). First Honest Al was turned into a liar, then Kerry was swift boated, now Obama, the supposed liberal (on record but not in his actions), was sent in to take Hillary out. Media was censored to make it appear everyone loved him and hated Hillary (despite the fact that actual voting did not bear this out). Caucuses replaced primaries in numerous states and those caucuses were poorly run and even outright rigged.

Some liberals cannot be fooled. Despite what the DNC has done, MY core values have not changed and they remain for fairness, a free press, justice, environmental protection and freedom from political and physical intimidation.

Forget it folks, this country has seen a bloodless political coup. The neocons have won. You just don’t realize it yet.

In other words, democracy is gone and the political process no longer works.

http://home.comcast.net/~vincep312 VinceP1974

What/who is a neocon?

Kate

Google neocon.

But here is one article about it.

The fact of the matter is Obama has promised more war, not less (despite his supposed Iraq withdrawal plan, see what happens to that). In fact, his and McCain’s stance on more war in the middle east (other countries) is very similar.

http://evamarie.blogspot.com/2006/10/
fool-me-once-shame-on-youfool-me-twice.html

The DNC is hand and glove with the neocons. OR they are intimidated by them, i.e. read as scared shitless and have played along. Look around your area, do you see more smog than last year? Or see more surveillance cameras? (Supposedly for traffic.) Or see more trucks? Or see them filling in the center of a highway for a super corridor? Things are happening right now — they don’t have to wait — because, in truth, it doesn’t matter who wins anymore, the same policies will be promoted by Obama or McCain.

Though how any decent feminist can vote for Palin is beyond me and I have to question the supposed democrats on this site and elsewhere who say they will vote for McCain were ever democrats at all (against contraception? jeez louise – let’s take women off the political scene and get them barefoot and pregnant.)

It’s hard to find an untainted site on the net or in the news these days. One that will report actual facts. Like this year for the first time in history there will be no ice on the north pole (Bush suppressed scientific news).

I, personally, will not endorse a sham candidate like Obama or the extreme right policies of Palin. So I am sitting this election out.

Walk warily, a lot of the “news” you get isn’t news at all but opinion. And an opinion with an agenda.

http://home.comcast.net/~vincep312 VinceP1974

So basically, Obama’s family is the reason that African-American’s ancestors were in chains and he’s trying to enslave them to him once again.
His family sold it’s own countrymen into slavery causing slavery in America and now he is using the decendents of slaves to become slaves for him in his tyrannical grab for power.

Great points, dcmediagirl. I feel like I’ve been living in Alice’s Wonderland for the past eight months. I remember the cable news talking heads’ demanding Hillary resign from the race even before Feb. 5th. And then after Feb 5th, and then March, when Hillary reeled off a long string of wins and gained over 500k more votes than obama, they went ape-crapping nuts.

I keep saying to myself: ‘I can’t believe I’m voting republican.’ But then I wouldn’t have to if the DNC had followed its own rules now, would I?

I am resolute in my decision to remain a democrat. I am resolute in my decision to vote for McCain/Palin. I am resolute in not allowing poor leadership to change me when I have the power to change them.
I am a member of one of the largest “Unions” in the country. I am a member of the NEA. I am a member of the ACLU. I am a member of the NRA. I am a Democrat. I will not leave the Democratic party, but the Democratic Party has left me. I still hold the principles of the Party, the DNC does not. I will be voting for the pair that stands best for the Democratic principles and the Democratic ideas, that pair just happens to be running on a republican ticket.
No, the DNC took too much from me/us this year. I am not going to allow them to take the party as well. I may have to call the Democratic Party by a new name when it’s all said and done since the DNC will get to keep the name in this divorce, but that doesn’t make me any less of a democrat, at lest not what a democrat was 10 years ago. If the dnc insists on continuing along the path that will ensure thir destruction, then so be it. They will not destory me along with them.
Obama is history and the DNC is dead, long live the NEW Democratic Party that will correct the lies. The Clintons will play a verysignifican roll in rebuilding the party to what it once was and can be again.

It’s damn cheeky of the Obamites to call us Republicans.

Democrats don’t call Democrats racists.
Democrats don’t cal democrats Republicans.
Democrats don’t hustle the caucuses.
Democrats don’t attack former Democratic Presidents.
Democrats don’t use hoary old right-wing disinformation to attack the Clintons.
Democrats don’t issue death threats.
Democrats don’t flip delegates to the losing candidate.
Democrats aren’t foul misogynists.

This isn’t over till the misogynists are driven out of our party.
