Goddess I Love a Fighter
By PaganPower on May 21, 2008 at 4:25 PM in DNC, Delegates, Florida, Hillary Clinton, Michigan, Obamedia
Today Hillary stated what many of us have been secretly wishing for. She said that she would be willing to take the nomination fight right to the convention should Florida and Michigan want to contest the DNC decision.
Clinton may take delegate fight to convention
Hillary Rodham Clinton says she is willing to take her fight to seat Florida and Michigan delegates to the convention if the two states want to go that far. In an interview with The Associated Press, Clinton was asked whether she would support the states if they continue the fight.
The presidential candidate said Wednesday, “Yes I will. I will, because I feel very strongly about this.”
When I read stuff like this I get all choked up. Because Hillary is willing to do what is right regardless of the odds against her. That is something I respect and admire to the core of my being.
But as usual the Obamedia has this all distorted to begin with. They always restate the source of the problem but then they do the unforgivable. They always twist it around to make it seem as if awarding Hillary for her wins would be a slight of some kind toward Obama.
Both states were stripped of their delegates because they voted early, violating national party rules. Clinton won both states; Barack Obama’s name wasn’t on the Michigan ballot.
I think it is about time that we stood up and DEMANDED that the Obamedia report the truth instead of their spin. We need to remind everyone that the reason Obama’s name wasn’t on the ballot in Michigan was because HE TOOK IT OFF THE BALLOT!
And in my book, if you remove yourself from an election you lose the right to contest the results of that election. It’s only common sense.
SWEET! I SO want it to go to the convention!! Fight on, Hillary!!
also… i have Hillary gear that I am donating proceeds to her campaign… the latest is the electoral map with how she’ll beat mccain

I really like your HTML code t-shirt. Very clever.:)

I’m thinking about buying one of those since I am a website designer.
Is it on that page? I did not see it.

Hillary will not get GORED.
They tried to make Al look like a fool for fighting.
Clinton is spitting in their faces.
She is one ALPHA FEMALE!
That’s a fact! I think the DNC and the DC elites don’t quite know how to deal with this strong, relentless, WONDERFUL woman! They must be beside themselves trying to figure out what the hell went wrong. LOL! She was suppose to be long gone by now.
I think you are absolutely right. They thought they knew her. They thought they could take her out. And they were wrong from the start.
Hillary is my champion. She fights like no other politician I have seen in my lifetime including her husband whom I admire and appreciate greatly.
They are absolutely befuddled.
I think they were set up from the start, too stupid to figure it out.
Still too stupid to figure it out.
Even Carl Bernstein said, “Obama has got a real problem. Hillary has a very strong movement.”
Who’s got the movement now???
NPR : ALL THINGS CONSIDERED…..just did a story on the groundswell of Clinton supporters…..msm is startin to pick it up…..Yeah ! All The Way To Denver !
Amen. Both Edwards and Obama’s people told voters via their websites and by going door-to-door that a vote for “uncommitted” was a vote for them. THAT IS CAMPAIGNING! They broke the rules and STILL claim the moral high ground.
Did BO change his name to “Uncommited”? That would be the only basis for his claiming rights to those votes. Reminds me of a child saying “That’s not fair, I wasn’t ready.”
Most states don’t have ‘uncommited’ on the ballot. What is the purpose of voting uncommited? How has MI. assigned those votes in the past?
Is that like BO voting “present” in the Il. senate? Sort of like, “I’m here but I’m not going to tell you what I think”?
Food for thought.
The MSM is also not honestly reporting the truth about WHY he took his name off the ballot: it was a political maneuver to make Clinton look bad to Iowa and NH voters. Can we ever look forward to the day when they will actually tell the truth about this opportunist?
Isn’t she fabulous?! It’s been such a pleasure to watch Hillary become such a radiant leader through this process. Meanwhile, Obama, 14 years her junior, is exhausted, making mistakes, and “bored.”
Have you read the DNC Delegate Selection Rules? I have. 12.A.
“All candidates for delegate and alternate in caususes, committees, conventions, and on primary ballots shall be identified as to presidential preference or uncommitted status at all levels of a process that determines presidential process.”
Heck, I thought about running as an uncommitted delegate once.
Before you go spouting off it might do you some good to actually research what the hell you’re talking about. Ya think?
Obama broke the rules in Florida too. As far as I am concerned Obama doesn’t deserve a single delegate from either state. Not one!
He sure did! I live in Jacksonville and he had ads running on the cable channels for a week before the vote.
let’s NOT forget that Obama’s the one who blocked a revote in Michigan! He had his chance for Michigan to vote again and he NIXED it. That’s HIS problem.
This is awesome! The Democrat Party is going down in flames this year! YOU GO HILLARY!
Blame Obama, not Clinton. It’s because of her that we have any chance to salvage it.
eh, I see using K** to clean the sink out.
WTH wants losers like those behind Obama?
OT but I see Jimmy Carter is now talking openly about OBAMA’S VP choice. He’s advocating Sam Nunn–from Georgia! Guess that’s what the DNC used to win Carter over. He also said he doesn’t think a Clinton/Obama ticket would be the best thing for the Democrats! These people have all lost their minds. Obama/Nunn? Who’s going to vote for that?
Not buying anymore Jimmy Carter books or tapes.
Sam Nunn for VP??? Jimmeh has lost his freakin’ mind. He needs to go hammer some more nails and STFU.
Sam Nunn for Cheney of the United States.
Let him take Sam Nunn. He’d lose anyway, and why do we want to throw away a perfectly good Democrat, one with a future, on a lousy top of the ticket? There are a couple I really, really don’t want to see wasted on him.
I am sure in some twisted way they are thinking the COmbination of their annointed Messiah with a Nunn on the ticket would reassure catholics and christians everywhere that this is the devine ticket.
Clearly its subliminal pandering to those bitter people who cling to religion.
I like the way you think ….
Catholics have been voting Hillary.
Sam Nunn is a good VP candidate. But, the problem is Sam Nunn is like Zell Miller — a conservative Democrat.
It’s like asking Joe Lieberman to be his VP.
http://www.bookrags.com/biography/sam-nunn/
That would cause the Neo-Libs to riot! Marky must be getting nightmares, too!!
Agreed. Nunn is way conservative, especially for a Democrat.
it’s really too bad for Jimmy, but obviously senility has set in. He’s just as sexist as anyone I’ve ever seen and as we can see he’s sooooo living in the past.
Oh, she’s going. I think we can count on that.
But she would go even if she gets FL and MI seated as-is. [heh heh - not very likely] She would simply change her rationale - yet again - to “the delegates can switch at any time”. As indeed they can.
She still won’t get the nomination, of course. And she’ll forfeit all those millions of dollars she loaned her campaign - since federal election law says such loans can’t be paid back after the vote. That will be a nice consolation prize for having to put up with her for a few more weeks.
See you at Obama’s inauguration.
Not so fast Joe Beese. Obama needs our votes out here to get into that inauguration ball. Without us, he’s toast. Remember that! And we are pledged here on this site to forgo voting for Obama. We are also determined to support a schism in the Democratic Party. Then what will Democrats do without millions of voters who are fed up with having an inexperienced, naive, unelectable young man shoved down our throats?
Well, I know that’s the position here. Who knows? Maybe you’re right.
But perhaps you’ve noticed the lingering resentment against Jimmy Carter - more than a quarter of a century after the fact - for what is perceived to be the damage he did to the party?
That’s putting his face on Mt. Rushmore compared to what Hillary’s legacy is going to be if we lose this election. Whether you think it fair or not, she’s going to perceived as having pointlessly kneecapped our strongest candidate in decades out of her narcissistic sense of entitlement.
Indian call center slow today?
I don’t even read your crap anymore, that is how insignificant you are.
Yeah the english is better than the usual GAZA trolls….lol
I don’t read his poop either.
It is Obama and his followers who have split the party. It is the DNC leadership that has split the party. Trust me, people will be writing about this election for years to come. No matter how the media tries to spin it; our words, our journals, our diaries will be lurking in cyberspace to set the record straight.
funny screen name - gee wonder what that’s in reference to….
Oh, do stop whining, you silly little person. Hillary Clinton is doing what she can to save what’s left of the Democratic party from power hungry, cynical $ellouts like Howard Dean, John Kerry, and–sadly–Teddy Kennedy and Jimmy Carter.
You know–the old farts who think they have to destroy the party to save it (for themselves)?
Well, it’s not working. We’re taking it back–and you lot can go back to yer video games and yer circle jerks.
See you in Denver, wimpy.
If Obama is our strongest candidate in years, the democratic party should disband and the democratic leadership should engage in mass ritual hari kari.
Hara kiri, and the actual term is seppeku.
Harry Caray is a dead, drunken sportscaster who landed in Chicago after an unfortunate incident in St. Louis.
Fred,
How are you?
Did you ever see the move, Seppuku?
http://www.crunchyroll.com/media-171623/Seppuku-Movie-Part-1.html?hires=1
That was Harry Caray Jr.
Joe Beese,
If the Democrats should lose the general election in November, it could be said that their complete refusal to thoroughly vet their candidate was the number one reason for their embarrassing loss.
If damaging material emerges in the next few weeks or months with regard to Michelle Obama, or even perhaps regarding Obama himself, the general public will question the leadership of the Democratic Party.
To say that Hillary’s legacy would be gravely tarnished by Obama’s demise is ridiculous and demonstrates your dismal understanding regarding how women feel about her. Obviously you have absolutely no connection to how deeply admired Hillary Clinton is to her supporters. That is why she now has within her possession a movement of her own. She has exhibited great strength of character. If you hadn’t noticed, she is now a role model for millions of women who will now aspire to even greater heights.
When we women, once again, rewrite the HERSTORY books, Hillary Clinton will go down as one of the greatest of American women. She will share the stage with Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Sojourner Truth, Lucretia Mott and Eleanor Roosevelt.
She is a maverick! Don’t step on her because if you do, you step on all of us who love and cherish her greatness!
Scarlet, it’s not just dem women that admire Hillary. On fox I’ve seen numerous female conservative anchors and contributors comment on how they used to be against HRC, but seeing her stand tall this election despite the being punched in the gut over and over again has changed their opinion of her. alot of them now say they are truly impressed with Hillary’s perseverance, strength and determination to keep fighting. I personally think Hillary is an absolutely AWESOME role model for millions of women worldwide.

Absolutely!:)
What does that matter? Obama trashed her character and her husband’s legacy already.
She’s got absolutely nothing to lose. That’s why he should reach a compromise quickly on this unless he’d like this to turn into a worse mess.
He has the power. He can compromise.
He can trash her all he wants, but he cannot control the outcome. No one controls everything and no one has all of the power.
He has the power? He thinks he has it. All we have to do is organize and cut him off at the throat.
He has the power to compromise. He has his argument in front of the committee, which he could withdraw.
Sorry I wasn’t clear.
in fact obama has the illusion of power and what little influence he has is short lived. obama is on the end of order giving by the power brokers.
The selfish Obama kneecapped the last successful two termed democratic president.
Obama is also to blame for the attempted ousting of the democrat FDR wing of the party.
By injecting race the Obama people have set back relations 30 years.
Hillary was By far the strongest candidate but poor little Obama had to have his election despite having no experience.
Obama and his minions in the MSM and DNC plus the 57 states of Islam are going to loose.
The people of the United States are rising up against this hostile takeover!
Hillary will win in November!!!
I pray you are right! Obama and his cronies are a bunch of scrary, creepy dudes.
Don’t blame Hillary and her supporters, Blame the fools in the DNC that would choose a candidate with ties to terrorists, Rezko, Auchi, Odingo and sat in a racist Anti American church for 20 years and expect to win. Hillary is the one that can keep the Dems from going down in flames, but if Obam is the Nom then many people will pick McCain because he is the better choice.
You are so totally wrong to blame this debacle of a nomination process on Hillary. Hillary obeyed the rules. Obama didn’t. Hillary tried to find some way for Michigan and Florida to revote. Obama stood in the way. Obama started the race baiting. Hillary didn’t.
In my not so humble opinion Hillary is the only reason to vote democratic this fall. She is the only candidate I will support. And I am quite certain that there are lots of people just like me.
I second that and I’m ready to march (I too am disabled)
I will find a way. For Hillary!
For counting ALL VOTES!!!
Primary OR General
Same / Same
form/machine/voting station/state certificationnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
deedeedee!
Strongest candidate in decades? Gack. You’re really besotted, aren’t you?
clara take a hike. there is a nice cliff nearby. practice your dives dearie.
You are so delusional. BO isn’t going to be the nominee. He can’t win the GE. Have you seen the electoral maps? The DC elites may be the most ignorant people on earth, but they don’t like losing elections. Hillary WILL BE the nominee. DEAL WITH IT.
See you at Hillary’s inauguration.
Even if Hillary is the nominee, just like BO she will alienate a significant portion of the electorate making a ge victory problmatic at best. She will lose the AA vote as well as the under 30 vote even though the MSM doesn’t give them the same air time they do the white vote. Moreover, not only will she lose the under 30 vote many younger voters are unwilling to accept another Bush or Clinton even if it means riots or worse. I think what you meant to say was see you at McCain’s inauguration.
The AA vote is primarily in red southern states. Those states were never in play anyway. Then if Obama isn’t on the ticket its a good chance that Hillary would receive 90% of their vote just like all democrats before her.
There are many more shoes to drop on Obama and when most of the truth is out, Obama’s stock will drop accordingly. His political career will go in flames just like the Hindenburg.
She does not have those voters now and is winning the electoral college against McCain, gaining any % at from the fringe of the party will only boost her numbers.
you actually sound like your koolaid was spiked. don’t you know the rules don’t blog after one glass of koolaid.
Are you one of the Obama sweet talkers that wants my support?
it will be you, michelle and him with one of those crowns made out of cardboard box.
in your dreams
actually obami and the rest of his crew like you are nightmares to the american people. shame on you!
All that can be said about this situation is straight from Hillary herself:

Presidents are fighters; presidents do what is right; Hillary should be President.
Exactly!
I just heard that one of Obama’s campaign guys is going to take over at the DNC. A guy named Tewes. Is there any way we can stop that?
Just heard? Provide a link if you want people to take this seriously.
Here is a link.
Top Obama Organizer Paul Tewes in Discussions to Run Democratic Party
well…..I for sure won’t mind leaving the party in June if this is true. good riddance dnc…you continue to suck.
I read it too. Don’t remember where.
Darlin’ simply put,
the odds aren’t against her. only the hype.
RIGHT ON!!!!
ALL THE WAY TO DENVER AND THE WHITE HOUSE BABY!!
BOOYAH!!!
HILLYEAH!!!
the odds aren’t against her. only the hype.
So true. She can make up that delegate deficit by turning to the people! We can shut this convention down! If Hillary can’t be nominated, then neither can Obama! Just say the word, Hillary, and we march!
Hillary makes me proud to be an American woman. CNN is using a speech writer for JFK to compare Obama to JFK. CNN makes me gag with their propaganda shows. I hope Wolfie is embarrassed for himself. Obama is no JFK!
Calli,
Please stop watching them; you are increasing their ratings and doing bad things to your health and well-being. Do what, HRC said, shut them out. They are insignificant. When we watch them, they get a paycheck. When we stop and ratings go down, they get the boot.
I agree. I find that blogging on hillary sites, checking the news, and watching Monk reruns keeps the blood pressure steady.
The only thing I check them for at all is stock quotes … anyone have any ideas how to avoid that?
CNBC on mute.
Obama keeps using the “I was not on the ballot in MI” but correct me if I am wrong in the general election if Nadar or Bell cant get their name on a ballot in a state we dont give them trophy votes do we?
That is Obama’s strong suit, any hint of trouble..run the other way and create a distraction.
I wasn’t in church that day
I wasn’t on the ballot
I didn’t have time to visit Kentucky
But look over here:
John Edwards likes me
75,000 people came to see me..NOT
I crown myself the winner in Iowa
what a joke!
I just read an AP article stating:
“Obama plans to contest the final three primaries in Puerto Rico, South Dakota and Montana, but he is already moving on, well into the early stages of a general election plan that will take him to other critical swing states in the coming weeks.”
Can he “contest” the remaining primaries?
Boy, that campaign is loonytoons.
A lot of internal problems with Obama’s people, huh?
Couldn’t happen to a better bunch of guys.
“Contest” means compete in, enter the contest.
Oh. I thought they meant he was going to dispute or challenge the remaining primaries. I wouldn’t put it past him to try. Thanks.
WTF….is Obama trying to block those primaries….HUH ?
Maybe he meant he’ll still campaign in those primaries.
However, I recently heard a BO surrogate, maybe Plouff, say that Puerto Rico doesn’t count because it’s not a state!
It’s spin, controlling the narrative to depress voter turnout. If people think it’s over, they will stay home-except for the hardcore Obama devotees.
Puerto Ricans won’t stay home. They love to vote! If there’s an election, they come out to vote.
Well neither is Guam, but Obama and his people were all over that. Including soiled ballots. They were loving all 4 delegates, now that spit at 63 - perhaps another tsunami is headed his way.
that means he isn’t showing up and then whining when he doesn’t win. you gotta learn to understand “what obami meant.”
Word up!
Let’s get a Million Women march ready as well. First time in a generation, since the ERA push, that a HUGE rally of women protested about equality and justice!
Let’s educate not hate!
A Million woman march is a FANTASTIC idea! I would go!
I’d go too. I’ve got breast cancer and if I’m going down, I wanna go out with a bang and leave one last shining example for my teenage daughter!!!
