Political Punch

Et tu Clyburn? Then fall Clinton.....

Whatta way for the silver-tongued,
Teflon coated hero of the Democrat
party to leave the stage....dragged
off by the very offal that propped
him up for so many years. They are
just beginning to smell an aroma
about him that many of us whiffed
way back in '92. A Clinton by any
other name is just old, offensive
cheese.

I do not understand how you Democrats can let some "super delegate" decide who will be your nominee for the greatest position in the world.

Can't you see the party members hold the real power in your party and not the voters. How can you let this stand.

The only thing being covered up is that Bill & Hillary are working with the GOP to destroy the Democrats.

It looks like there are two Janes posting here. I am the one who supports Hillary.
The answer F seems much likely to portray the situation.
I remember the primary season starting with the media attacking Hillary"s voting for the war. The media doesn't care about her nuanced position about the war, just became a platform for attacks. And all the people pro BO supporting the attacks were all over the blogs. Since then the media has been steady at their jobs : the washington post for instance.
Here and there delegates step out to endorse him especially when she wins a state. So there seems to be a pattern of strategy of agreement between the leaders of the party (delegates and some superdelagates) and the media and the BO campaign.
But I wonder if all the leaders of the party agree. We haven't got to the chapter of the convention yet. If all the leaders agree Hillary is done. But if they don't and it should be that way, then there is hope. Otherwise this is not the democratic party anymore. This would be like a "coup d'etat" within the party.
The sentiment of undemocratic practice in this race will be the real dividing line. The voters who want this to be a real democratic fight so they can choose their candidate feel cheated. I don't know if the Party realizes this.
They think Hillary supporters will just fall behind the party line. They belittle the judgement of the voters. That's bad and that's wrong.
I don't blame voters who say BO is an empty suit.

Bill just can't believe he will never live in the White House again.

The Argus Leader's Executive Editor Randell Beck issued the following statement today:

"The context of the question and answer with Sen. Clinton was whether her continued candidacy jeopardized party unity this close to the Democratic convention. Her reference to Mr. Kennedy's assassination appeared to focus on the timeline of his primary candidacy and not the assassination itself."
How come this doesn't make headlines.

The Clintons have have been playing the "VICTIM" card to deceive voters. All they do and say fit their plan and purpose. They not only have been playing the race card from the start, but they have added their contradictory sexist card. How can they expect respect and at the same time play the sexist card? They do not go together. They have already started to harm this country once more. What they have shown us through all these months tells us a great deal of what they are capable to do behind closed doors. They only care about themselves. They can easily deceive voters and have the nerve to boast themselves and about their actions. No one should put up with this pair of bandits. They should live far away from all of us and from our government. They have become millionaires .... They have ruined it, divided and destroyed it. They are expert lobbyists. It is atrocious and unthinkable just to think that they have completely uninformed, misinformed, and blind voters who support them. .. Let us remember that the Lewinsky story tells us clearly about their character: lies, dishonesty, untruthfulness, ruthlessness, lack of integrity and good judgment. We deserve better.

Why I won't vote for McCain.

He says we shouldn't waste time questioning how we got into Iraq.

Well duh, how can I have faith that someone who isn't willing to examine mistakes isn't going to just commit more stupidities.

He fully says it was a disastrous mistake, why won't he discuss in detail how we work to prevent more idiocy? ie, the big threats from Bush to invade Iran at the behest of Israel and AIPAC?

Easy choice. A+B+C Nothing hard about that!

A= DNC so-called party leaders and elders pre-select a controllable candidate trying to negate the Clinton DNC elements.

B= Complicit, out-of-touch, fawning, sexist media sits on stories, apologizes for and provides cover for every Obama faux pas, lie, or scandal, and vilifies HRC at every turn while buying into the Obama mystique and "getting thrills up their legs".

C=Obama campaign plays the race card, tries to negate the Clinton Presidency while glorifying Reagan /Bush1, steals votes through caucuses, blocks Mi/Fl revotes. Then lies about circumstances. Then they lie about Obama's record re illinois senate votes, energy votes, war funding votes, ear-marks for Michelle's hospital, Wright, Ayers, Resko, lobbyists, and on and on.

Yep, A,B, and C are all resposible for this fiasco, and have cost the Democratic party another election.

The voters, AA and all others were deceived from the start. They are blameless. They merely lstened to the media/Obama campaign hype, hoped it was true, and in turn got scammed by A,B, and C.

All Democratic voters, regardless of whom they support, will wind up as victims in this election year.

CALL TO DEMOCRACY IN ACTION FROM INFORMED DEMOCRATS TO DNC

To: DNC Members
From: Informed Democrats
Re: Michigan and Florida Voters Candidate Intent and Voices Counted devoid of misogynistic, anti-woman, and/or sexist behavior
Date: Until Michigan and Florida are Seated

Dear Governor Dean & Esteemed DNC Members,

As a lifelong Democrat, I continue to ask myself why you, the Democratic National Committee continue to conduct yourselves in the tradition of the Republican Party?

Throughout the history of the United States of America, we have been fortunate enough to have had many major political parties: Republican, Federalist, Democratic Republican, Whig, Free Soil Party, Know Nothings, Populist, Progressive, Bull Moose, Reform and of course, our beloved Democratic Party.

We are Americans; therefore, we are bright, intelligent, literate, passionate, honest, and hard-working and sometimes Bible thumping and Second Amendment gun-totters.

Therefore, for the love of our Democratic Party, please cease and desist your deplorable actions against Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton and seat Michigan and Florida as they are and award her the delegates she EARNED fair and square.

Why embarrass the Democratic Party any further by awarding the nomination to the media created Manchurian Candidate Obama and wait for the Republicans and the 529 to unload to the world Obama’s unelectable dirty laundry: Antoin Rezko, William Ayers, Reverend Jeremiah Wright, Iraqi born Aiham Alsammarae, the former electricity minister convicted of corruption in Iraq and his deal with Obama and Rezko to build nuclear power plants in Iraq-a nation we are currently at war?

If you will not listen to reason, please accept this CALL TO DEMOCRACY IN ACTION as fair warning that the17 million (and some change) Americans voting for Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton, if Michigan and Florida are not seated with Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton’s full award allocation, we will in fact:

Leave the Democratic Party en masse;
Work diligently against any Democratic candidate who willfully and purposefully bashed, maligned, or denigrated Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton for misogynistic, anti-woman, and/or sexist purposes (don’t think we can’t, we are a powerful coalition;
Vote for Senator John McCain, USMC retired in November if Senator Barack Obama is the Democratic Party’s nominee (trust-will never get behind Senator Barack Obama or mindlessly fall in line; and lastly,
Watch with “I told you so” satisfaction for the next eight years as the Republicans retain the White House and the Republicans regain the House and the Senate.

We as Informed Democrats will take no more misogynistic, anti-woman, and/or sexist behavior from you, Governor Dean & Esteemed DNC Members.

Due to your misogynistic, anti-woman, and/or sexist behavior actions, we are forced to place the United States of America above the Democratic Party. Enough is enough.

Democratically Yours,

Informed Democrat

B Jake....from the beginning the media couldn't see the forest for the trees...In this election you guys have served as an extension of the Obama campaign. The Democratic establishment are just counting on the free marketing campaign for Obama to continue...

1/2 of the voters are being slurred and slandered and the other half are still drinking Obama made media served up koolaid.

The thing is that it's all still out there the media campaign for Obama and some real journalist will put it all together in one place someday. Interesting.

By the way have any of you guys offered Clinton free air time like you provided for Obama's self serving "race speech"? News cycles come and go, but lots of voters will not forget this election. We saw it with our own eyes and watched the rather ugly growth of "tabloid" journalism take over an election.

Like I said before....the treatment of Hillary Clinton is worth 20 points in any nationwide polls...and Obama hasn't even had to pay a cent for it.

Its the economy stupid.

Hilry can't manage or fix her own campaign finance, why should anyone trust her to fix the troubled economy of our country????????

Its the economy stupid.

The answer is E

--the media and DNC leaders

Ted,

Don't blame Hillary for her campaign financial problem.
Her campaign doesn't get big money from rich contributors unlike Obama.
He had outspent 4 to one to Hillary.
There should be a new rule which every candidate can only use certain amount of money for their campaign.
That will be fair.
There should be

It's A+B+C.
How about ABC?

Maz Hess, do you know this for a fact? If so, who is your source? I would just like to know, because if you have no source, or if you just fabricated those facts, you are guilty of libel. Be careful what you write about a man.

What bill tells superdelegates:
1. Everybody who is not on my side is my enemy.
2. I hunt every - and if I say every I mean every -enemy down and distroy him/her.
3. If you are a superdelegate please read 1. and 2. very carefully

Marie, not only have I read my own postings (I won't put it as eloquently as you did), but friends have as well. I don't see what I wrote as blackmailing the Democratic Party, seeing as I am a Democrat myself. I was merely making a point. If Hillary were to get the nomination, we would need you. If Barack obtains the nomination, you need us as well.

I wasn't asking for anything more than your reason for believing he is the better candidate in terms of policy. Attacking Hillary, attacking her character, and attacking her supporters IS NOT the way to win this election. I suppose, in the end, all I'm asking for is a little decency.

The Clinton's have always been happiest to run against someone or something. The idea of putting themselves out there and saying 'look this is who i am, these are my ideas, vote for them or don't the choice is yours' is not something they are comfortable doing. But its got to the point where tehy are running out of someone to run against in this contest. Obama has run off to start his general election run.
