Well, big whoop de doo. Obama has been declared Emperor of the Democratic Party. Great. Tonight, he’ll don his toga, rise up onto the stage of his Temple, and speak to the minions, bestowing his gaze upon them… Okay, I have to stop before I throw up. Here’s the thing. Obama “won” the Democratic nomination [...]

Sorry to burden you all with this nonsense, but it’s important to record the “thinking” of Democratic party insiders for posterity. Behold the musings of Elaine Kamarck on Salon. “Schaller” is the Salon interviewer. “Cohen” is Michael Cohen of the New America Foundation. The article was published before the Biden announcement.

It just pains me that you have to go out campaigning for Obama while he and his family dig around in Hawaii and try to find a birth certificate that dosn’t look forged – um – I mean, get some much deserved rest (I know – I could barely type that out without cracking up [...]

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%.

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 [...]

….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 [...]

Five months passed while we waited for a decision from the Rules and Bylaw Committee arm of the Democratic National Committee. During the months Florida and Michigan voters waited for a decision on their voices and votes, Obama did everything in his power to block state level efforts at revotes. He literally refused to discuss [...]

Anti-puma groups and blogs seem to be springy up everywhere. Blog posts and articles are being written and hitting the MSM. They all have one thing in common – they are mad at PUMA’s for not supporting Obama. We have been called all kinds of names, including the R word….REPUBLICAN. And yes, RACIST. The running [...]

I haven’t posted in a while because quite frankly I haven’t had anything to contribute since the DNC “resolved” the Michigan and Florida mess. But today I’ve been smoked out of my undisclosed location because I just can’t take it anymore. At issue: This week’s New Yorker cover.

I am affiliated with I Own My Vote. What went wrong? The representative process of the Democratic Presidential Preference began with the Iowa caucuses and ended with the Montana and South Dakota primaries. Much has been said about the inherent flaws in a process that is not uniform, much of which is very valid and [...]

Rebecca Traister this week writing in Salon thinks she knows how 18 million people think: The attack of the PUMAs, or a dozen reasons why Clinton voters are still too angry to come home. If you’re a dedicated Democrat — or perhaps even one of those fed-up Republicans we’ve heard about — there’s a good [...]
