It begins….
Democrat Rift Opens

“We’re voting McCain because Hillary agreed to the DNC rules in 2007, now because she’s behind in the delegate count, she’s throwing the rules out!” What a bunch of children.

Sore losers, just like their candidate.

Obama is Ted Kennedy’s fault. This is the same loser that brought the Dems: John Kerry, Mike “Da Tank” Dukakis, and Himself(damaging Carter in 1980). He can’t stand to see the Democrats move away from New England(and Kennedy history) to become an actual national party. The Republicans have essentially become a regional party(the south) and an uncompetitive Democratic party refuses to play hardball to take advantage of this fact.

Even now Obama’s people are putting it out that Hillary has damaged him so “if” he loses it in November it will be all her fault. Boo Hoo Hoo.

Rahm Emanuel positioned the Democratic party to win in ‘06. He did this by being aggressive, and running “unconventional” candidates. These candidates were not straight-jacketed to the positions of the Democratic establishment.

Doesn’t it seem weird that, since Johnson, the only Democratic presidential winners win over the opposition of New England Democrats? Or that the most promising candidates are destroyed by these same people?

Lotta True Believers here, today.

I almost forgot potato boy Quayle (IN).

Was that Geraldine Ferraro in the video or her sister?

I don’t understand the people who say that “if my candidate doesn’t get the nominations, I’m voting for the Republicans.” – I’m sorry, but don’t the issues and the candidates stance on them stand for anything? I mean, Obama and Clinton, agree on about 90% of most issues, and where they differ, it is only in their take on how an issue should be approached and handled. If they weren’t so similar, they wouldn’t be in the same party. But to vote for McCain if your candidate of choice doesn’t get the nomination, well, that’s just plain stupid in my opinion. Do these people not care about the issues? Are they only about the “cult of personality” behind Clinton and Obama? Can Someone Please Explain This Thinking To Me? I just don’t get it.

Oh please. Aren’t you capable of doing anything other than repeating conventional wisdom? Do you do that in the tech world?

In one state, the Republicans had to shut down a delegate convention because there were too many Ron Paul supporters. A former Republican is running on the libertarian ticket. McCain is running away from Bush. Where are the stories about division within the Republican party?

They’re all basically pissed off because Hillary wasn’t allowed to steal all of the votes from Michigan…

Here’s what the Clintons wanted – 73 delegates for Hillary and 55 for “uncommitted.” That split conforms to the actual vote results, which were 55 per cent for Clinton and 40 per cent for “uncommitted” (again, since Obama’s name was not on the ballot).

What the committee agreed to was a different compromise proposed by the Michigan Democratic Party that gave Clinton 69 delegates and Obama 59.

Hold your horses, said Ickes. He contended the compromise “hijacks” four delegates outright from Clinton and awards 59 delegates to a candidate who no one actually voted for in Michigan.

On its face, this complaint seems reasonable. But here’s Obama’s argument. His campaign argues the Illinois senator deserves those Michigan delegates because the election was flawed and the actual results could not be construed in any way to be a fair reflection of support for either Clinton or Obama.

Many Michiganders who backed Obama cast ballots for “uncommitted” – something even Clinton’s own representative at the meeting, former U.S. ambassador to Canada Jim Blanchard, noted in his presentation to the committee.

Further, some Obama supporters may have voted for Clinton since his name wasn’t on the ballot. Others still voted in the Republican primary since Obama wasn’t on the ballot.

To paraphrase Obama supporters: The Illinois senator should not be punished for playing by the rules. At the time Michigan and Florida voted, their primaries were null and void. Nobody thought they would count, including Clinton, who said so on New Hampshire public radio.

Not to mention that these fools keep saying that they have been “disenfranchised” because Hillary wasn’t allowed to steal the Michigan votes.

These idiots sadly, don’t seem to understand the difference between a political party’s nomination process, and a general election. The DNC could choose it’s nominees by throwing darts on a dartboard, if they so choose.

It becomes more and more clear, every day, why this country is in such a mess.

I can only speak as an observer in the Great White North, but from my perspective, Hillary’s biggest problem was that she ran, like the nomination was owed to her, and was appalled that Obamba would challenge her. Where as Obama, just ran a campaign.

Both FLA and MI ignored the party when told not to have their votes on the days they did. Why should the party suddenly have to count these votes? If you don’t follow the rules, you pay the consequences.

LOL- oh, these comments are hilarious. Glad you guys liked my video

Potayto, potahtoe… whatever

#14 One word. Racism.

Why should rules matter to Democrats? If they can put Frank Lautenberg on the ballot after the deadline, then why can’t they give Hillary 73 delegates and 55 uncommited, as the original Michigan election revealed?

What about the disenfranchisement of all the people who find caucuses too difficult? Hillary has clearly been the choice of Democrats this year.

Jägermeister: Ohhh, that the BEST VIDEO!!

#33 a new chapter of a game I like to call “Theory Vs. Reality”

#33, Republican plants?

You give them too much credit, besides the Republicans want Clinton to run against. With Obama they’ll have to deal with him playing the race card. They already know how to go after Hillary, and get away with it.

This just keeps getting better and better.

Never in my wildest dreams last year did I think that any Republican candidate would have even had a snowball’s chance in hades of having an actual shot at winning the presidency in 2008. W’s poll numbers had been a HUGE drag on all the GOP’s candidates.

What a difference a year makes!

To #14, Senseless Babble: Thought crime legislation, untenable double standards for discourse and behavior, and splintering national “narratives” had been created solely by the Democratic party and its enablers in the media. This atmosphere suited them just fine when it was only applied against Republicans. I would like to think that this Obama/Clinton nonsense might lead some on the left to finally see the problems inherent in the identity politics approach.

I’d like to take this time out to thank the Democratic Party for their embarrasing amd continual ineptness. It’s restored my faith that the Democrats will always manage to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

Heads up on some breaking news – a surprise video is suppose to be unveiled today: http://tinyurl.com/5vxef3

#24, #35:

I’ve said it a million times: whether you’re a parent or a political party: don’t dole out punishments that hurt others and yourself more than it hurts the ones who actually did wrong. The Florida and Michigan conventions broke rules. The only ones really hurt by the DNC’s punishment are (potentially) Hillary Clinton, and most importantly, citizens like you and me who had nothing to do with MI and FL’s decision. This is a de facto part of the electoral process in this country, and people have a legitimate expectation to have a voice in the primaries. Absolutely inexcusable on the part of the DNC. How could they not know that their myopic, retarded, petty “crack of the whip” might have created chaos like this? How could they not know that this would at the very least create ill feelings from Florida and Michigan Democrats? (Don’t forget, the Republicans took away half their delgates, which is about half as retarded as what the Democrats did. They’re just lucky the Republican race wasn’t as close.)

The DNC has no one to blame but themselves: the DNC is a principal who gave the entire fourth grade detention because their teacher broke a school rule.

Besides, who really should give a shit that FL and MI voted early? Who did it hurt? Why should the DNC even care? It was a meaningless flex of the biceps by the DNC. There is absolutely NO good reason. It’s already a circus; changing the dates a few months in advance of any or all of the primaries can’t conceivably ruin anything. Unless someone chooses to forcibly ruin it themselves.

Thank you Howard Dean for being a moron, once again.

#35 showing that the Dems have no rules to follow and that indeed, Florida is a Whacky state. Is this ruling a taste of what the new Dem goverment will be? The US is so royally screwed!

holy crap harriet is not using a walker!!!!!

OK, they are half votes, but I still have heard an explanation of why Barack Obama is entitled to delegates won outright by Hillary?

It’s OK to give Obama some delegates, but why ones that Hillary won? This amounts to the DNC overruling the results of an election.
