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 [...]

I couldn’t believe my eyes when I read the words. There it was for me to take in slowly. I almost choked and hurled on the spot. But there it was in black and white. Those words that would force me to change my entire belief structure. One of my heroes died Monday. It was [...]

The Obamabots are in a panic. Even though he has claimed the nomination still we Hillary supporters have not seen the light. They are in shock that we are not swarming with the masses to the selected one. On Wednesday, I wrote a defiant post declaring that I would never vote for Obama. An Obamabot, [...]

Friday’s Washington Post has a story on how the McCain campaign is looking to woo disaffected Clinton supporters. The GOP thinks it has a shot at these voters who believe Obama is out of touch with them and because McCain is a “maverick” who may be able to accommodate their interests. That is why the [...]

by Bud White and Medusa In 2001, Gene Lyons and Joe Conason, both respected journalists of the center-left, co-authored The Hunting of the President, a frightening look at the Right’s conspiracy to destroy the Clintons. However, it is more frightening still to realize that the neo-liberals are putting to use the same tactics to destroy [...]

On ABC News with Diane Sawyer, James Carville gave a preview of the next few days and maybe weeks regarding the Democratic nominating process. He also stresses what he sees as the Obama campaign’s heavy-handed flogging of the South Dakota / RFK kerfluffle. While many have said that the nominating process will not run past [...]

Dorothea LANGE, “Migrant Mother,” 1936 A friend paraphrases a famous story to illustrate why she may vote Republican for the first time in 40 years: in the late 1960s, when the feminist movement was still thought of as a novelty, a boorish male reporter asked the heterosexual Gloria Steinem if she was a lesbian. Steinem [...]

One thing I have had to learn to accept during this nomination process is that for some reason the Cultists just keep getting stupider. It must be a side effect from all the Cult-Aide they have imbibed. Maybe it is like absinthe. It gives you a warm fuzzy feeling all over and lifts you with [...]

Enjoy. Willie Colon, a true American and Puerto Rican treasure, was recently featured here at No Quarter. Willie Colon believes Sen. Hillary Clinton is best qualified for the White House.

According to Obama supporters and his allies in the media, Hillary is finished and the nomination is securely in Obama’s hands. David Broder laments that “If Clinton weren’t still challenging, [Obama] could easily devote a week to a swing through Hispanic enclaves from California to New York.” But Hillary is challenging and I take Hillary [...]

I started crying during the speech and wept for a good while after Dr. King finished.

After Obama’s devastating defeat in Pennsylvania, the Obama campaign released a memo addressed to the superdelegates but published in the Wall Street Journal which argues that Obama would be the strongest candidate in the Fall against McCain. The memo is so deeply flawed that Jerome Armstrong ridicules it as “satire,” and “exhibit A” for “intellectual [...]

Well, he didn’t just throw the kitchen sink at Hillary Clinton. As Taylor Marsh noted yesterday, he threw the bank vault: Flush with cash, Obama reported spending $11.2 million on television in the state, compared with $4.8 million for Clinton. Clinton’s once double-digit lead in Pennsylvania polls narrowed to single digits in recent weeks [...]
