Them’s Fightin’ Words »

By now, most everyone has heard that President Carter claimed people who don’t support Obama do so because they are racists. Wow. Obviously, this is shocking on the face of it. If you have not heard this, the video is below. I also recommend two very good posts on this topic, one [...]

161st Anniversary “Celebration” »

Sunday and Monday are the 161st Anniversary of the Seneca Falls Convention, the first Women’s Rights Convention. As a refresher, here is a bit of history on that auspicious occasion:
The seed for the first Woman’s Rights Convention was planted in 1840, when Elizabeth Cady Stanton met Lucretia Mott at the World Anti-Slavery Convention in London, [...]

Voting for the Republican side of the Democratic Party »

Apparently, our dear Hillary has created a grassroots movement to help back Obama. Sorry Hillary, no can do. (I refuse to include a link; as I see it, Hillary is acting under duress).
I REALLY wanted to vote for the Democratic platform. Or at least the one that Hillary presented. (Susan UnPC [...]

A Little Recap »

OK, so three out of four of my siblings are Obama people. I don’t know about the fourth - I don’t think he has decided yet. My mother, a STAUNCH Hillary supporter, who is furious with the DNC (and has told them so because of the vote theft, etc.) says she doesn’t know where she [...]

TALES FROM THE FRONT »

Approximately a year ago thousands of committed volunteers attended “Camp Obama,” a four-day indoctrination program, geared at teaching pre-screened Obama volunteers grass roots organizational strategies.  
The training, which specifically focused on the caucus states, taught volunteers to be “ruthless,” “take risks,” and win at all costs. Obama’s campaign and Camp Obama’s strategy which focused [...]

Kentucky: Clinton Supporters Protest Clinton Delegate Replacement »

It seems that nothing is going as planned for Barky Obama and his Hood Ornament, Howard Dean.
It’s no secret that they have been replacing delegates to ensure votes for Barack Obama at convention time. After all, let’s face the fact that Barky is terribly concerned about being embarrassed during that roll call vote. Since he [...]

Obama’s Fake Unity »

From the IOwnMyVote newsletter.
Part I - The Restoration
Senator Obama has announced with a magnanimous flourish that he would, in all his beneficence, call for the Credentials Committee to restore the votes of Florida and Michigan delegates to 100%. If you recall, when we left off at the Rules and Bylaws Committee meeting on May 31st, [...]

Obama’s Gesture »

From my blog, The Confluence.
______________________
What have we here? Obama has asked the Credentials Committee to seat Florida and Michigan at full strength? (Read the comments to see how the average reader interprets Obama’s letter.)
I can’t decide what I loathe more: that Obama all but acknowledges he stole the primary or that he assumes that [...]

If You Have Any Remaining Doubt That Obama Is Morally Bankrupt… »

….this should cure you.
Just as so many of us predicted, now that it can’t hurt him and he has successfully gamed the system and insulted everything this country’s democracy stands for, Leland Gaunt Barack Obama wants every Florida and Michigan delegate counted.
If this isn’t a sign of just what a crooked, morally bankrupt Chicago Thug [...]

The Donna Brazile - Karl Rove Connection »

A guest column from the newspaper, TheCityEdition.com || Letters to the Editor

In order to “save” the Democratic Party, Brazile resolved back in 2003 that she might have to destroy it first. And who better to help her in this lofty pursuit than her new best friend, the man neoconservatives call “The Architect”.

The Democratic Party Surrenders The Moral High Ground »

I have called myself a Democrat since I was old enough to vote. Never in 30 years have I voted for a Republican. Any Republican. That I, a big city girl and a lefty-liberal from way back, am planning on doing so this November for the first time in my life should [...]

My name is Harriet Christian. »

My name is Harriet Christian. Before the RBC Committee meeting on Saturday, May 31st, I would never have imagined writing a blog, being interviewed on Cable News or meeting with Senator John McCain - but here I am.
Anyone reading this blog is familiar with my now-legendary YouTube video (here and here) [...]

Greta Van Susteren and Nancy Pelosi »

Greta Van Susteran conducted a three-part interview with Speaker Pelosi yesterday on her show, On The Record. (Here is the video for Part I. The other two parts are below the fold. Fox News also has a partial transcript.)

Ms. Van Susteren does an excellent job in this interview. She does not let Speaker [...]

Michiganders Demand Restoration of Voting Rights Following DNC Theft »

As NoQuarter’s Bud White wrote recently in his devastating “The RBC: Bush v. Gore“:
We are seeing a recreation of the Florida 2000 coup d’état in mirror image. The Dean/Brazile/neo-liberal wing of the Party learned their lesson in Broward County all too well.
The most obvious clue of this theft, of course, is that Hillary has won [...]
