The RBC = Bush v. Gore

the RBC arbitrarily handed Michigan delegates to the DNC’s preferred candidate to try to prevent him being defeated at the convention. There is no rule or guideline in the DNC that allows that organization to redistribute a state’s delegation to the national convention. They can refuse to seat a delegation, they can refuse to permit the delegation to have full voting authority, but they cannot change the composition of the delegation.
It’s no accident that this feels like a recurring nightmare. 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 has won more votes than Obama. Usually the popular vote winner wins the contest. Just ask Al Gore.
The insistence on “the rules” as a way of rewarding Obama over Hillary was a transparent power-grab echoing the Republican “Sore Loserman” narrative from 2000. The “rules” were created specifically to deny Hillary the nomination. The rules, as we saw over the weekend, are malleable, only needing to be massaged to assure the desired outcome. Similarly, in 2007, Republican operatives tried to change how California apportioned its electoral votes in an obvious attempt to change the rules for electoral gain.
The RBC’s back room deal regarding Michigan, which only won approval by a single vote, has the familiar ring of Bush v. Gore, where one Supreme Court Justice vote made Bush president. As Jerome Armstrong writes, “One RCB vote changed everything.” The always insightful Anglachel writes:
Reallocating votes based on the outcome you want to have, not what the certified vote count actually was, eviscerates democracy as such.
Think about this. Really think about this. A committee of people, behind closed doors and under pressure from a specific candidate to shore up his crumbling support, has functionally declared Michigan’s votes null and void and has reallocated the delegates to suit themselves.
The notion that a “committee of people” can decide outcomes regardless of voter intent is hauntingly similar to Vicent Bugliosi’s angry and brilliant essay on Bush v. Gore published in The Nation in 2001:
[By] the US Supreme Court handing the election to George Bush, the Court committed the unpardonable sin of being a knowing surrogate for the Republican Party instead of being an impartial arbiter of the law
Bugliosi argues convincingly that it wasn’t just voters of Florida who were robbed of their franchise, it was the 50 million voters across the country who voted for Gore. Similarly, the delegate stealing of Michigan and Florida isn’t only about the intent of 2.5 million voters, it’s the intentional disenfranchisement of nearly 18 million Hillary voters, a majority of the Democratic Party’s 2008 voters. Vicent Bugliosi continues:
this means that these five Justices deliberately and knowingly decided to nullify the votes of the 50 million Americans who voted for Al Gore and to steal the election for Bush…
The RBC acted in the same manner, deliberately and knowingly taking away votes from the candidate who had clearly and convincingly won in both Michigan and Florida. All of this done under the pretense of a scheduling conflict, yet the punishment was not applied equally to the other three states who also violated their “rules.”
The Rehnquist Court, according to Bugliosi, perverted the meaning and intent of the Equal Protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment:
“no state shall… deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”
By punishing states only Hillary won, the RBC became an arm of the Obama campaign, using its power to reward their favored candidate without giving equal protection to all Democratic voters:
The stark reality, and I say this with every fiber of my being, is that the institution Americans trust the most to protect its freedoms and principles committed one of the biggest and most serious crimes this nation has ever seen–pure and simple, the theft of the presidency. And by definition, the perpetrators of this crime have to be denominated criminals.
By going beyond its powers by taking away delegates from Hillary, the RBC became accomplices in another “theft of a presidency.”
The neo-liberal beta test was against Joseph Lieberman in 2006, a politician who had the gall to be socially moderate and hawkish on national defense — voting with Kerry, Edwards, Clinton and 73 other senators to approve the authorization to use force against Iraq.
It should come as no surprise that it was Howard Dean’s organization, Democracy for America, who spear-headed the anti-Lieberman drive.
Taking over the Connecticut Democratic Party’s nomination was relatively easily, but winning state-wide proved much more difficult. We’re likely to see similar results nationally.
The neo-liberal animus against Lieberman, like that against Hillary, is both crazed and hateful. A Daily Kos diarist, Susan Jumper, wrote that she’d like to “gas” the Jewish Lieberman, and others on her post compared Lieberman to a dog that should be killed. Der Stürmer couldn’t have said it better. While there are many examples of the crazed and hateful mindset of the Obama camp, one commentator at No Quarter exemplifies the violent imagery regularly used against Hillary, when writing:
Stop Hillary Now jkldjlkj@jlkjkldj.net
“We all remember Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June in California. I don’t understand it,” she said, dismissing calls to drop out.
Hillary is batshit, Liebercrat crazy.
Fuck her with a pitchfork.
Like Lamont, Obama is a light-weight candidate of the neo-liberal, Dean/Brazile/MoveOn.org wing of the Party. A fair number of his foot-soldiers and DNC insiders are willing to say and do anything to win, and this includes selectively disenfranchising voters. Like the Young Republicans chanting “Sore Loserman” in Broward County, the neo-liberals are intoxicated on their will to power.
It is likely that the hawkish, salt-of-the-earth John McCain will crush Obama. And after the RBC’s delegate stealing (perhaps the worst of the many offenses to occur during this campaign), many Democrats, disgusted with our Party’s undemocratic ways, will vote to help McCain do just that.
did anyone hear McCain’s speech on Iran yesterday?
it was brilliant! and the best part was the crazy dude from Iran made some more crazy statements about wiping out israel…
Everybody… republicans, iranian dictators etc etc makes Obama look like an idiot…
good grief…
I would have no problem voting for McCain if Hillary is robbed of the nomination…
He really is the 2nd best person for the job after Hillary.
Plan A: Hillary
Plan B: McCain
Anyone But Obama
The Democratic party that cried about needing to count every vote in Florida in 2000, became the party of toss out enough votes to get the result they want in Florida in 2008. If Florida’s votes for Hillary aren’t going to count, why even bother of feigning to include them?
Obama wasn’t even on the ballot in Michigan. Despite this - they’re going to give him half of the Michigan delegates anyway. It is Affirmative Action in progress. What a big middle finger to that state too.
The irony is at so many levels. The reason that these delegates were thrown out to begin with is that these states dared to defy the Democrat party elites by holding their primaries too early. The little guy doesn’t matter to the oligarchy of rulers. Of course this was obvious when the rulers demanded to know who had their nomination hours after the polls closed on Super Tuesday. Sure the other half of the states who hadn’t voted will have their ballots counted: it just wouldn’t matter.
So why include half the votes of Florida and Michigan? Answer: they want Clinton’s supporters to leave her.
There is no way the Clinton supporters are going to drop their candidate of choice any more than the Obama supporters are going to drop their messiah. Counting only half the vote will be seen for what it really is: giving Obama the nomination.
AMEN!!!!!!!!!
I am frightened by how few Americans seem to have any understanding of or respect for objective principles. Most of us manage to justify any actions if it furthers our goals, even if it sets a terriblc precedent. I used to think this was much more of a Republican problem, but clearly I was wrong.
Our democracy is based on principles. How is it going to survive if our citizens are incapable of upholding them, even if it goes against their own self interest?
AWESOME comment!
Voting rights are more important than ANY other in a democracy, because if the people lose them, the people lose any control they had over their government. Once that happens, all the other rights are easily taken away.
Obama is truly looking more and more like a fascist every day.
I was in the RBC meeting. I stood up after the Michigan decision and shouted at them that they had killed the Democratic party. People may say I “disrupted” the meeting, but I believe our Democracy is under assault right now, and if people don’t stand up against the immoral “RULZ” like people like Rosa Parks did, we WILL have fascism in America.
If they TRY and call Obama the nominee before Denver, we have to make it well known he is “illegitimate”.
mawm - thanks for being at the RBC meeting. I agree with you - we have to fight this travesty all the way.
“If they TRY and call Obama the nominee before Denver, we have to make it well known he is “illegitimate”.”
Would that make barky the “Bastard Nominee”?
Funny!!
Oh my gosh! It was YOU who yelled that last line? Can you say “hero for American democracy”!!!
Your comments were so widely reported on by dozens of news outlets everywhere who covered the RBC meeting. Thank goodness for you or else we really would not have had a voice at all. Thanks for standing up for America!
Can you guys here at NoQuarter comment on some of the videos of the protest that have gone up on YouTube. It would be nice to bump them up on popularity.
Here are some links.

Thank you so much for your on-the-scene reports of the events at the DNC meeting. You did a wonderful job!
If you are the woman from the you tube video standing up to them jerks..then I salute you!!!
You were absolutely great!!! I wish I could be more like you. You told them off and you told them good!!I actually had tears in my my eyes watching and listening!!Great job to someone who really does care!!!!
No that wasn’t me. She was great, though. I am male. I was in the front to the left of the committee. I was the only Clinton supporter in the middle of a sea of Obamabots. They were completely nasty and smug, as if they had gotten away with something they thought we couldn’t do anything about.
It is my mission to make sure those smug smirks are wiped off their faces by August.
Mawn,
Followed your live blog on Sat. and can’t thank you enough.
No matter what happens, Obama can never be legitimate. The DNC made sure of that when they “gave” him 4 of Senator Clinton’s delegates. That was not within their rights or the rules.
After that bit of corruption the DNC has lost all credibility and the Obama campaign and supporters and surrogates are simply as corrupt as any Republican and thus do not deserve our loyalty and should never get our vote.
Unless you think stealing votes is fine and dandy. In which case you don’t believe in Democracy anyway so have at it.
Obamacrats don’t care about the “party”. They care about Obama. Period. And evidently so does the DNC
You did great Mawm! I saw you speaking out on the youtube video…it was a perfect blast of righteous indignance directed at those DNC dupes.
I also was at the rally and saw what was happening. This is truley stolen election if Hussen Obama becomes the nominee. I sure hope the superdelegate come to their senses and stop media picking our nominee! PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN BY THEIR VOTES, HILLARY CLINTON IF OUR NOMINEE.
I copied your comment and sent it in an email to the superdelegates from my State. I plagerized you.
Obama — IF the twit steals the nomination — he will NOT win in November.
Good article Bud — and yes I remember clearly what happened 1n 2000 as we waited for the bush gang to pull another trick out of the bag of dirty tricks.
Donna racist Brazile and Howie Dean — two of the biggest all time losers in the history of American politics!
I never could understand what people saw in Howie Dean — I saw him as a self important JERK.
Can I change the channel now? This soap opera is getting really strange. There have been too many role reversals — it’s hard to keep track of the good guys and bad guys anymore.
An excellent effort, Bud. We should have known this was coming when they doused Liebermann in 06. We can see from the results how well that turned out. Just where is Ned Lamont these days? Last time I checked he wasn’t in the senate.
Afetr they way she has been treated if I am Hillary, I wait and see how all this turns out, go to Leibermann and work out a deal and declare herself and independent. With the ay things look, they may be able to control the balance of the Senate. That would be a real hoot!
Last I heard — dummie Lamont endorsed snObama.
Lieberman is an honorary neo-con — and he also happens to be another one of snObama’s mentors.
Ironic that, back in 2006, Obama endorsed his mentor Lieberman, over Ned Lamont. Poor, feckless Ned…I saw one of his then-election ads the other day and was reminded of how lacking in charisma he is. The fact that he’s endorsed Obama just indicates that he’s also lacking in intellectual fortitude.
Lieberman is the only true DINO (Democrat in Name Only). HRC should have no association with that Republican in Drag.
He is not allowed to join the Republicans because he’s Jewish. [/scarcasm]
Anymore bombshells that will bury Obama once and for all slated for 9:00 a.m. on this website today, or is that just a weekly non-event? LOL
Seriously, I wonder what time Hillary will concede. I heard Peter Paul was throwing her a going away party.
The REAL concession—the one that matters—will come in November.
Say hello to President John McCain.
The REAL concession—the one that matters—will come in November.
Say hello to President John McCain.
Such vile, childish comments while inane and vapid, actually result in nothing.
They certainly do not have any impact on Hillary Clinton supporters. We are way past such perniciousness and inured to such.
They do not anger us, we maxed out in that respect long ago. They do not sway us, we are immovable.
You are basically entertainment with a touch of pathos.
As to your concession question, Hillary could have conceded months ago and it would not have made Obama electable. He never was, except in your ephemeral dreams.
“Bitter” boy is just a petulant child who likes to toss little stink bombs every now and then, hoping for a rise. He epitomizes the essential Obamabrat.
Earlier, posing as a Hillary supporter, “Bitter” made ridiculous and disgusting homophobic “attacks” directed at Obama and his cohorts–a risable attempt at making No Quarter look bad.
Track his IP and ban him.
Isn’t it amazing how many blogcloggers just can’t wait to comment on a “non-event”? Some even have faux transcripts of the “non-event. So repudiating something that isn’t yet available or is nonexistent is a strategy? Or will Obama now decide to distance himself from his mouthy wife as he has from his church and his mentor?
Maybe you should have been listening to what Bob Beckel said this morning. You might not be quite so sarcastic. If what he said is true, it sounds as if Larry was right all along.
What did he say (I live in a TV-free zone)?
I tuned into the very end of that conversation and all I heard was the female host ask Beckel “Is this worse than Michelle’s thesis?” Beckel insinuated it was much, much worse. He also said if it was a Republican, he’d tell them what it is.
That was at 5:30 am CT and the said he would be back on in 2 hours, so that’s 7:30 CT (my time zone). He should be back on in 30 minutes.
Did Beckel say anything else or was his appearance this morning just a tease for the bomb he’s going to drop? Or is he even going to tell us? Is he keeping it to himself?
He was on Fox
I “love” those GOP “tough guys” in the picture. I get the impression if any old-fashioned union Democrats had been present to confront them, the yuppie-scum Rethugs would have broken and run.
And they are being rewarded for their thuggery. One of them, Gary B. Malphrus (number 2 in the above picture), was appointed as an Immigration Judge in March of 2005, with absolutely no immigration law experience. He was given an immediate reward in 2001, being appointed as Associate Director of the White House Domestic Policy Council, where his responsibilities related to matters involving crime and sentencing, law enforcement, and homeland security. Within the last few days, he was elevated again by Attorney General Mukasey to serve as a Board Member on the Board of Immigration Appeals. I guess that he learned all about immigration law in 3 years, and was ready to be elevated to that appellate administrative tribunal.
Don’t think for one second that the Obama thugs won’t also be “rewarded for what they have done.”
Just imagine Al Sharpton in the White House once a week.
and Racist Rev. Wright, Farrakhan and Father Pfleger leading the prayer services. G-d help us.
yes God BLESS America and please God PROTECT America from these thugs.
I guess that he learned all about immigration law in 3 years, and was ready to be elevated to that appellate administrative tribunal.
Kind of like the way Obama has learned all about the U.S. government in three years and is ready to be President?
I can attest to that. My dad was a Union guy. Steel Workers Union. TOUGH, TOUGH bunch of guys!
The DNC wants us to vote for Obama but I say NO NO NO
Obama said he can get her votes but she can’t get his I say NO NO NO
The party elders want us to line up and vote for Obama I won’t GO GO GO.
Sing along with me
Vote for Obama we all say NO NO NO.
Was once a democrat but i won’t go back
They want us to vote for Obama we say NO NO NO
I missed it. Was too busy watching more early morning superdelegates come Obama’s way. Did he produce a tape??!!! Oh, never mind then.
Even if he did, most Americans wouldn’t be bothered by something as silly as Michelle Obama saying “whitey.” What a simultaneously LOL/sad moment for you all. Actually clinging to Hannity and Fox to deliver a deadly blow to our next president in the form of a tape where his wife says “whitey.” I guess we’ll need to lynch George Jefferson next. ROFLMFAO!!!!
Seriously, that concession, what time?
Barky is conceeding? Great! What time?
Obama isn’t fit to wash George Jefferson’s feet. At least, George was honest.
SD endorsements mean jack shit until they cast their votes in August at the convention. Damn those facts really do get in the way, don’t they?
And you honestly believe that white, bitter, gun clinging, religious clinging, typical white people aren’t going to be INCENSED at being called “WHITEY” by a possible FIRST LADY? Are fucking NUTS? Of course you are!
You haven’t been in politics very long have you bitter? It’s lonnng way to August. Just saying. Keep your shoulder to that closet door, now, y’hear?
And yeah, whitey would just ignore michelle calling him whitey. Yup. If you think so, then you aren’t whitey. Whitey would RUN to the polls after that one.
We’ll be back tomorrow to see if you guys eat crow , or if you spin even further out of the known universe.
Very insightful, well written work. I enjoyed this immensely. We have so much work to do. It is imperative that we do not allow this UnDemocratic Party to win in November.
Anyone want to buy the “Hillary conceded and all I got left with was Bitterness ” T-Shirt?
or how about a “I am not racist but no Nigga is getting into the Whitehouse” T-Shirt?
or a “It takes an Ivy educated ex-first lady to truly understand us dumb folks” T-Shirt?
I was thinking more like “President Hillary says Barky Who?”
How about “For the first time in my adult life, I am proud to vote Republican”!
How about “See Ben. Ben is 35 and lives with his parents. See Ben type on the computer. See Ben insult people for the fun of it. See, Ben has no life. Let’s feel sorry for Ben.”?
Or this one: “See Ben. He has no idea that his gloating and his rudeness will drive voters away from Obama, or that he’s actually HELPING John McCain. Ben is too stupid to see his own consequences.”
BHO and his merry band of DNC thieves stole Hillary’s votes and gave the concept of Democracy the middle finger.
How about a T-Shirt that says –”No Affirmative Action in the general”.
You’ll come to understand that one, by and by.
I was there in Washington DC for counting of votes of M and F. At the end it turned out to be discounting of votes, 50% plus 4. Woe! I can’t describe the emotion I felt, the pain and disgust everybody went through. Damn! I want to vomit! The party that I supported through and through turned to ashes, it’s gone….
Please Hillary, you’re now the beacon of democracy. Please don’t tell me the unthinkable….I can’t. There is no rule that you can’t built another party. And how can you work to a party that disown you, and top of that punish you by awarding 4 delegates to him. Unbelievable.
Unfortunately, that is precisely what I’ve come to expect for the “New democratic Party”. I understand Hillary’s party loyalty after all she and Bill have put into it, trying to change things for the better, but it may be time to call it a loss and start from scratch. I believe the democrat and Republican brands have gone the way of New Coke, and it is time to go back to the original recipe or come up with something new. America is ripe for it (exactly what Axelrod has been trying to exploit), and the time is now. This might be the only election ion our lifetimes that an independent candidate can win a Presidential election.
I agree the time is right. But Hillary won’t do it. And the DNC knows this and is using this fact against her.
Uh No: You and the Obamatons in the DNC need to pull your heads out of your asses, read the DNC’s rules and get a clue. They are actually trying to do what a few months ago was thought to be impossible. Give the Republicans a 3rd term in the White House. What the RBC did was a clear violation of several of their own rules, so if Hillary takes it to the accreditation committee she has a VERY strong case.
1)The DNC rules required an investigation into why the states moved their primaries. There was no investigation!
2)As Archangel says the rules do NOT give the RBC the option to give any candidate the delegates for uncommitted! Uncommitted is a certified vote by their rules and according to those rules, those uncommitted delegates must go to the convention as uncommitted delegates!
This accounts to a political mugging.
Even slaves were given 3/5 of a designation in determining congressional representation, apparently FL and MI voters represent even less as human beings.
Arlen Specter’s been pretty useless these past years, but he’s a fairly sharp lawyer when he puts his mind to it. And I read yesterday that he–HE!–is pondering a formal look-see into the Dean/Brazile atrocity. Because, you know, primaries are run by state governments and are publicly financed; they’re not just a private parties where the hosts can pull any bullshit that tickles their fancy.
Regardless of the outcome of Specter’s latest brain storm, it’s pretty sad when a Republican is the best hope for defending Democratic voters against their own party.
What did Bob Beckel say?
Basically he said he has heard from several places about the tape just as Larry says. He said he doesn’t normally believe these things but it is coming from people that make him believe it may be true. Said it was much bigger than the thesis statement she made. He said it was big.
Hear that, Bitter, you smug pissant? Just askin’.
Ya sure now bitter?
I think many white folks will be offended, especially when she is sitting next to her friend Louis Farrakhan.
And Beckel looked nauseous when he said it. And the woman Friend had her mouth hanging open waiting for the answer. It was priceless.
Karl Rove’s comment last night on Hannity & Colmes summed up the taking away of Hillary’s delegates in Michigan candidly and brilliantly. He said, “He [Obama] got what he wanted and then it was like he had to poke her in the eyes, and it wasn’t necessary.” Oh, but Obama’s the unity pony, and we’re just supposed to forget everything and jump on for the ride.
To quote another Republican, “Not going to do it. It wouldn’t be prudent.”
But maybe that’s how they do things in Kenya, his homeland.
No, that is exactly how Rove does it here. I truly believe Rove is masterminding this campaign. Axelrod is his proxy. No proof. It has all the “distinguishing features” of a Rove operation. It has been very thoroughly planned. And who benefits?
it has all the elements of the Rove MO and style.
the poke in the eye is almost a Rove autograph.
Remind me. . . didn’t Ickes vote FOR stripping Michigan & Florida of ALL of their delegates?!?!?!
Didn’t Hillary say that Michigan “wasn’t going to count for anything”?
And how can one simultaneously talk about ‘disenfranchising’ the voters in states which DISOBEYED the rules while NOT COUNTING caucus states which DID follow the rules in a manufactured ‘popular vote’ tally? Counting the caucus states, Obama is clearly ahead in popular vote, but the primaries are not set up to be about popular vote, but delegates. And who’s ahead in delegates? And since when is the person who’s ahead in EVERY MEASURE “stealing” an election???
BTW, if you guys are anxious for Michelle’s ‘Whitey’ tape, did you hear that there’s a NEW TAPE SHOWING AN ALIEN IN COLORADO???? And I hear that in it he is RAILING against “HUMANY”!!!
The caucus states followed the rules? That’s rich. Tell it to all the people in those states who were not allowed to attend due to scheduling or physical limitations, or those who watched in horror as Chicago thugs pushed them around and grabbed official paperwork out of designated workers hands.
Besides, even the staunchest of ‘Bots in the MSM admit that you can’t count the actual popular vote in a caucus state - there’s NO WRITTEN RECORD, just the questionable tally of a bunch of screaming. Texas is the proof for that - Clinton whooped Barky in the written (legal) Primary, but thugs and bullies STOLE the votes in the highly illegal caucuses.
BTW - Would you guys please get it straight? Clinton was pushing for FL and MI to be counter in January, before the DNC and MSM had crammed Barky so far down the public’s throats that we couldn’t even produce a gag reflex anymore.
Go Troll somewhere else; you’re not converting anyone here so save your breath for November - you’re gonna need it!
Sorry - that should be “counted” in January
she signed a statement SUPPORTING the decision,; Ickes, McAuliff, et all made public statements supporting the DNC. You have difficulty facing reality.
Ned, you posted this same thing yesterday verbatim. No one cared what you had to say yesterday and still don’t. You’d better get off the computer now. The school bus is going to leave you.
Ned is our resident cut-and-paster.
He can’t write a paragraph with any of his own original thoughts.
Obama LOVES people like Ned.
Just skip on by and don’t even read him.
Ned, like most blogcloggers, think everyone is as dim and uninformed as they are. Thus they are still repeating the disproved April talking points when people have long since been made aware that said talking points were untrue.
But honestly, isn’t long-winded and dim-witted buffoon like Ned a tedious combination?
This is the type of CHANGE Bwack Oblahma is going to bring. Steal your opponents votes and delegates.
The DNC didn’t even blink an eye and let him do it. It’s no wonder they call my former party the DemocRATS. They eat their own.
It’s the Chicago way, after all.
Just imagine the Chicago Democratic machine getting their hands on federal minority set-aside money, and how much Obama will owe them for their support.
Yeah, with Oblahma who needs the dead to vote when you can rob and steal votes from your opponent.
Nah, he doesn’t need to steal votes, that’s what the DNC is for.
[…] in the land! Embittered Hillary blogger accuses DNC’s RBC of stealing the nomination for Obama. It’s a ”Sore […]
Does anyone else feel like we’ve crossed over into Munchkinland? We were so distracted by the twister in Iraq that we didn’t notice where we’d landed, and now we’re being led by the Lullaby League. But just like Dorothy and company, we have to realize that the abilty to go back is (and always has been) within our own power. We just need to wake up from the bizarre dream.
Funny how the Obamabots hate Lieberman so much - and yet, do they know that Obama actually campaigned for Lieberman against Lamont in Connecticut?
Just as how they easily dismiss Obama’s campaigning for Odinga in Kenya before Odinga lost the election and started his supporters on a massive genocide with machetes.
Or how Obama admitted he did not know how he would vote on the war resolution if he had actually been in the Senate at the time? Or his own statement of how he didn’t disagree with Bush’s stance on the war? Or how he voted for every war appropriations bill since?
And so the fairytale of Obama continues…
Thank goodness for youtube and the eternal video footage of Obama making these statements and performing these actions. Those of us of clear mind and sound judgment are not so easily fooled.
Most of you people are absolutely nuts.
As opposed to the gutternipe trash at Daily Kos?
Get a grip, hot shot.
