I Have A Dream

This is a rant by NancyInCali, whose blog is The Hillary Hotline. Nancy’s is a continuation of the “rants” that I have invited all of our readers to submit, and I have vowed to publish all, whether or not I specifically agree with specific points of view. I’d also like to thank Nancy — and all of our “ranters” — for their lively and passionate participation here at No Quarter. - SusanUnPC
I Have A Dream … Now it’s a nightmare.
Today I registered as a Republican for the first time in my life.
I have been a lifelong democrat, but today my family and I left the Democratic Party and registered as Republicans.
We will be supporting John McCain in November.
We didn’t have to re-register, we could have simply voted for McCain in November, but we wanted to send a message to the Democratic Party. We are unhappy, disappointed, and angry at Obama, his supporters, the media and the Democratic Party.
Barack Obama was Selected, Not Elected by the Democratic party.
“No self respecting woman should wish or work for the success of a party that ignores her” -Susan B Anthony, 1872.
The way in which Obama got the nomination is similar to how Bush won in 2000 against Gore. All votes were not counted and they were not counted equally.
Pledged delegates were won by each candidate either through a primary or a caucus. Obama received most of his delegates by winning caucuses. The very nature of a caucus suppresses voter turnout, since caucuses take place over a few hours on a specific day and do not allow absentee ballots, those that are unable to attend (workers, disabled, mothers with childcare issues) cannot participate. Consequently a delegate in a small state with low voter turnout like Idaho, receives far more weight than a delegate from a primary in a bigger state with high voter turnout, like California.
While the Democrats cried “foul!” to the outcome in Florida over the votes counted and not counted in 2000, this same party decided to count votes in Florida by 1/2 for moving their primary date forward which was not the party’s fault. And in Michigan the Rules & Bylaws committee voted to completely OVERTURN the results of the election and give Obama 59 extra delegates that he did not win, while taking 4 delegates from Hillary Clinton that she did win.
When you consider that Obama “won” the pledged delegates by a mere 3%, or 125. This includes the extra 59 delegates from a state whose ballot he chose to remove his name from. You can see that the 125 delegate lead is reduced to a mere 58 pledged delegate lead had the delegates been distributed according to the votes. This is called OVERTURNING THE ELECTION RESULTS - the very thing the Democrats cried “foul!” over in 2000.
Pledged Delegates Barack Obama 1,765 (51%) + 125 +3%
Hillary Clinton 1,640 (48%) **she takes these to the convention
What MI should have
looked like: Barack Obama 1,702 (50.8%) +58 +1.7%
Hillary Clinton 1,644 (49.1%)
Super Delegates Barack Obama 424 + 144
Hillary Clinton 282
Uncommitted 118
(Super Delegates can change their mind, final vote at convention)
Hillary Clinton not only won the popular vote in the Democratic primaries, she received more votes than any other candidate in the history of any primary in the United States with over 18 million votes!!
Obama has a history of disenfranchising voters. Not only did he not want the votes counted in Florida or Michigan, he did not want a revote to take place.
I am not surprised, when Obama first came to Chicago and ran for his state senate seat in IL he was successful because he had the incumbent, Alice Palmer and his other opponents removed from the ballot in a legal loophole maneuver. Consequently, he ran unopposed and the popular, qualified incumbent Alice Palmer was OUT!
Obama has lied about his relationships with Rev Wright, Father Pfledger, and convicted terrorist William Ayers. He has also lied about his association with convicted felon Tony Rezko.
Does anyone else find it odd that demands for Hillary to leave the race escalated on a day when his “friend” Rezko was convicted on 16 counts of bribery and fraud that the news media failed to report on?
He has called all these relationships “unfortunate”.
This is the politics of “Hope” and “Change”?
Are you kidding me?
The Male Elite Losers of the Democratic party all backed Obama early and consistently called for Hillary to quit the race. Dashle, Bradley, Kerry, Edwards, Richardson, Leahy, McGovern, Kennedy and Howard Dean are all losers themselves in their quests for the Presidency. The only Winner in the group supported Hillary Clinton.
The only President to successfully serve two terms in my lifetime: Bill Clinton.
Since neither Hillary nor Barack could win the nomination through the election process, due to the tightness of the race, it required the Elite to choose one of them and -how surprising- they chose the younger, inexperienced, unqualified male over the older, experienced, qualified female. In California we call that DISCRIMINATION.
“Woman is the Nigger of the World” -John Lennon and Yoko Ono, 1972.“Woman is the Slave of Slaves, We insult her every day on TV and wonder why she has no guts or confidence. When she’s young, we kill her will to be free. While telling her not to be so smart, we put her down for being so dumb.”
How can I vote for McCain?
EASY. This is my protest vote.
Sometimes the PERSON running (or not running in this case) is MORE IMPORTANT than the issues.
Sometimes if they will not listen, you have to find a way to make yourself heard.
For the 6-10 million Hillary supporters that plan to vote for McCain, or not vote at all - we are lucky. The Republicans actually picked a MODERATE candidate!!! John McCain has similar views to democrats on: global warming, immigration, gay rights (he believes same sex couples should have legal rights of some sort), and campaign finance reform.
Now, of course, Republicans don’t have a problem with the idea of many Hillary supporters joining them against Obama.
In fact, I was shocked to see that on McCain’s own website blog there were more Hillary supporters there on Wed night than McCain supporters!!
“Welcome Hillary Supporters” one Republican male wrote - “We may not agree on all issues, but we will try to be open minded and hear you, we hope you will be open minded too. Remember, even we Republicans can’t agree on very many issues. But we all have one goal and that is to defeat Obama in November.”
Senator Joe Lieberman sent us Hillary supporters an email on Friday asking us to join him in supporting John McCain.
Of course Democrats and Independents are appalled at the idea that I would support John McCain. “What about abortion rights and women’s rights?” they cry.
Okay - do you not get it? I have just witnessed the biggest abuse of a woman in modern history - the take down of the most qualified, experienced WOMAN candidate by her OWN party.
What about THAT Woman’s Rights?
Where was the Democratic Party leadership when Clinton was being verbally abused and having sexist hate messages hurled at her by the media on a nightly basis? Where was the media when the Obama campaign screamed “Racist” at Bill & Hillary Clinton?
NOWHERE.
Nope - it ain’t gonna work - not this time.
Threatening me with Supreme Court justices and overturning Roe v Wade isn’t gonna work this time. If it was not overturned in the last 8 years under the most conservative, backwards administration and congress in my lifetime, then it surely will not be overturned under a more moderate McCain Presidency who will have a majority Democratic congress.
And - I do not care about the war anymore. The Deaths of the 4,000 soldiers killed sit squarely on the shoulders of the stupid idiots that voted for Bush - TWICE. Talk to THEM.
I have been a loyal democrat, I supported John Kerry, even though I didn’t like him. I knew the stakes were high then, but stupid people voted for Bush and here we are.
“Women’s Rights are Human Rights” -Hillary Clinton, 1995 Beijing, China
This is about how Hillary Clinton has been UNFAIRLY treated as a Woman
candidate for President: by the media, by Obama, by his supporters and
by the Democratic Party.
If we do not correct it now and speak out about it now, then it will not change.
We must protest.
This is about WOMEN’S RIGHTS and telling the Democratic Party that the 60% membership of women in the party count too.
I no longer share the values of a party that selects its nominee through a series of discriminating and disenfranchising methods. Where certain votes count and others do not.
My Goal is to Have Hillary Clinton as PRESIDENT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. Not just ANY Woman - THE Woman, Hillary Clinton.
I wish she’d leave the Democratic Party and run as an Independent. She won’t do that, but voting for McCain opens it up for her to run in 2012.
It is the fastest path for her to be elected barring the possibility that my new party will find enough trash in Obama’s background to have the Super Delegates change their mind at the Convention. Obama is the ‘presumptive’ nominee.
And finally, I do not believe Obama has the experience, qualifications or Character to be President. 1 year in the Senate (2 years running for office) does not qualify him. In fact, if he won - he would be the LEAST QUALIFIED, LEAST EXPERIENCED President we EVER had in our ENTIRE History.
I believe the Vice President position is an INSULT to Hillary Clinton (she’s already done that will Bill). Still, I would like to see her take it for the simple reason - it is HISTORY making and she is only a heartbeat away from the #1 spot …..things happen….
Yes - I would vote for Hillary Clinton as Vice President, I could never vote against her.
I am glad that Hillary will only suspend her campaign and hold all her delegates until the Convention. Since the final vote by all delegates is not cast until the Convention.
And let’s be clear.
Obama did not SOAR to this nomination - HE LIMPED. In fact Hillary won the last 6 out of 9 contests. She has won most of the contests since March. She has WON ALL SWING STATES. She has the stronger poll numbers against McCain and she wins the electoral swing states needed to secure the nomination.
It is the closest election in the Democratic Primary history.
Here is just how close the popular vote numbers came out:
Barack Obama 17,869,542 (49.7%)
In the end everyone makes up their own mind about who to vote for and why. That’s America.
But, for me. November, 2008 - I will send a message to Barack Obama and the Democratic Party:
“No You Can’t”. “Not This time.”
John McCain for President 2008
you say
Actually, Abe Lincoln only had two years in congress under his belt when he became president (Obama has 3.5 + 8 years in his state senate). He was an obscure congressman, and his opponents ridiculed him for being inexperienced. Now he is revered as one of the greatest presidents of all times.
At the time of Lincoln, the USA wasn’t a global superpower. The only major conflicts it was involved in was with its former colonial master and with Canada and Mexico. Most of its problems were domestic, revolving around the relationship between the Federal government and states and the question of slavery. Nearly 150 years later, the problems that the US faces is far different and far more complex than what Lincoln faced. Obama has not demonstrably shown that he has the smarts to deal with it, especially with regards to terrorism and Iran and in fact appears to be extremely naive.
Yep, that whole ‘civil war’ thing wasn’t a “major conflict”, right?
Your claim of Abe’s lack of experience is a complete lie as I pointed out in the other thread. 4 terms Illinois state senate, 1 term US house of Representatives, and lawyer for 23 years involved with over 5100 cases. Tell your supervisor at Obama election HQ that you have been busted in your lie, and they will have to find some other false talking point until that one is also proven to be another lie.
Those you see following the Obamessiah are not Democrats, though the species may try to look similar. They are in fact nothing but JACKASSES!
P.U.M.A.
Um, I’m talking about elected office; Obama has more elected office than Lincoln did when he first ran.
PS I bet Abe Lincoln wasn’t president of the Harvard Law Review
Elected? You dare bring up elected when he used legal maneuvering to eliminate all competition on the ballot and then was SELECTED by DNC idiotic elites??? Don’t they teach logic anymore?
Hmm…. Just like the Court gave Bush the election.
DEE DEE DEE! What the hell do you think 4 terms in Illinois State Senate is? Or a term in the US House of Representatives! Last time I checked those were elected offices jackass.
But you are right…Abe wasn’t president of Harvard Law Review (without having published a single article)Hard to be given that position through affirmative action when Abraham was self educated, and did not go to college.
*NEW YORK TIMES
Published: February 6, 1990
Mr. Obama was elected after a meeting of the review’s 80 editors that convened Sunday and lasted until early this morning, a participant said.
Until the 1970’s the editors were picked on the basis of grades, and the president of the Law Review was the student with the highest academic rank. Among these were Elliot L. Richardson, the former Attorney General, and Irwin Griswold, a dean of the Harvard Law School and Solicitor General under Presidents Lyndon B. Johnson and Richard M. Nixon.
That system came under attack in the 1970’s and was replaced by a program in which about half the editors are chosen for their grades and the other half are chosen by fellow students after a special writing competition. The new system, disputed when it began, was meant to help insure that minority students became editors of The Law Review.*
oops you’ve beaten by the truth again…
Those you see following the Obamessiah are not Democrats, though the species may try to
look similar. They are in fact nothing but JACKASSES!
P.U.M.A.
PS I bet Abe Lincoln wasn’t president of the Harvard Law Review
Compromise candidate. Did he ever publish anything in the Law Review?
who amazingly published nothing and has left no paper trail. Anywhere.
Watch out when you backtrack that fast. Might fall down and go boom.
I couldn’t care less about the Law Review.
I do care that Hillary was one of the 100 most influential lawyers in the country. Obama barely practiced law.
And I care that you are waving around extracurricular activities like they are “expereience.”
And McCain has more elected office experience than Obama.
So what is your point?
Move on evil Obotroll.
PO’dVet!
You go!!! The Lincoln angle is a sure sign Darren is a paid Obama blogger.
—————–
Darren:
How old are you?
er, Abe had this thing about “honesty.”
A few other differences to evident to mention.
Did they have nuclear weapons that can obliterate the entire world? Most combat was still man-to-man, minimizing and localizing destruction. One mistake meant one lost battle. Today? One mistake could mean the end of human civilization.
You realize the cold war ended 17 years ago right?
Oh, so no countries have nuclear weapons arsenals? WTF?
You should seriously read up on Zbig Brzezinski - a top Obama supporter and even adviser and his plans against Russia and China if you truly believe that.
Not to mention zbig’s undying affection for jihadists.
Damn Uppity,
I was just going to bed and you had to mention Zbig Brzenenski (not only can I not stand that guy I can never spell his friggin name) cuz it just brings to mind his daughter, Mika the under the desk b*tch for Obama/Marxist from Morning Joe on MSNBC (WHICH IS NOT BLOCKED ON MY TELEVISION)
I wish they would have just come right out and said from the start they were “in the tank” for Obama/Marxist.
JUST SAY NO TO BLACK LIBERATION MARXIST THEOLOGY
NO OBAMA/MARXIST TROPHY WIFE
MCCAIN 2008 or until Hillary rises
Now I know I am getting crazy my post should read:
MSNBC IS FOREVER BLOCKED ON MY TELEVISION AND NBC
JUST SAY NO TO BLACK LIBERATION MARXIST THEOLOGY
NO OBAMA/MARXIST TROPHY WIFE
MCCAIN 2008 or until Hillary rises
uppity–10 of the 11 Foreign Policy advisors for Obama are anti Israel — last week Obama called for the Israeli Leader Omert should resign. Now he has had to kiss up to AIPAC. Obama is a walking time bomb. No wonder he has Hamas support.
The PRC is building Nuclear attack subs as fast as they can make them. There’s no warm, fuzzy use for attack subs. Damn you are an ignorant kid.
you are being obtuse purposely, so I won’t correct you on your obvious lack of education, experience, historical knowledge, and perspective.
Obama is not qualified to be POTUS.
America First: John McCain ‘08.
Nobama ‘08. Not ever. No you can’t.
That was just a domestic spat.
If it wasn’t for Generals Grant and Sherman saving Lincoln’s ass and for some lucky breaks at the Battle of Gettysburg, Lincoln would have ended up in exile in Canada and the former United States would be now known as the Confederate States of America.
Not to mention the fact the Sherman accomplished his goals by Wartime crimes against people in the South. These people really need to read up on your facts. Linclon had a lot of common sense, something Obama has not demostrated in any capcity. To compare Linclon to Obama is worse than the attempts to compare him to JFK. He’s not even in the same ballpark as either of them.
He was known as HONEST Abe!
Obama is no Abe Lincoln.
Well, Obama has more experience that he had!
Yes, I agree,
Obama has far more experience.. in corruption.
Your assetion is utter nonsense. Obama couldn’t even pull down an internship while he was in law school. None of the top tier wanted his sorry ass dragging down their offices.
That’s why “the editor of the Harvard Law Review” couldn’t begin his career by clerking for a Supreme Court Justice. That’s why he ended up working for a second tier specialist in the law of milking the taxpayer.
Obama is no Abe Vigoda.
Now that is true!
I would have voted for Vigoda. Obama not a chance.
I would vote for a cockroach before I would vote for Obama.
At the time - the majority of people were uneducated farmers and a high school degree was equivalent to a doctorate. Nowadays? You can’t even get a good paying job with a bachelor’s degree. The complexity has changed over the last century - just look at the technology. To compare it to that time is not only idiotic and overly simplistic in mindset - it’s just plain stupid.
Hey Kinky we farmers got a little education too but then we don’t eat argula.
I am wondering while putting on my tin foil hat –
When the DNC decided to have the nominating night on MLK I Have a Dream Speech Night?
I am wondering if the fix had been in for Hillary if the nominating night would have been
August 18
Nineteenth Amendment Ratified
Section 1: The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.
Section 2: Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation
I will gladly vote to elect a black man for president WHEN ONE ACTUALLY GETS THE LEGITIMATE VOTES TO HAVE WON THE NOMINATION
JUST SAY NO TO BLACK LIBERATION MARXIST THEOLOGY
NO OBAMA/MARXIST
MCCAIN 2008 - or until Hillary rises
oh my god, someone really is stupid enough to compare obama to Lincoln. oh my god.
Goodness, read some history please. That was one of the more ridiculous memes I saw about his lack of experience.
57 states. Remember? LOL*
Abe Lincoln had tried 400 cases before the Illinois Supreme Court. His short time in the state legislature he distinguished himself to become Whig party leader.
Obama did neither.
He did register some voters.
Were they still breathing?
I don’t believe that Abe had thug ties. Go through his background and you won’t find individuals of questionable repute. Or a crazy ass preacher.
Wow, he’s compared himself to Lincoln and both Kennedies. The size of his ego is the only thing unprecedented. He thinks there 57 states in the Union andgreat lakes in Oregon. He couldn’t prepare for a debate, canceling another after he did badly in one. That’s a great President for you. He’s at or below Bush level in my book.
What idiots — that MYTH has been debunked.
You Obamabot creeps are just plain stupid.
You don’t know history and you are ALL male chauvinist PIGS.
Facts ARE Obama is the most UNQUALIFIED candidate EVER — in the history of the US.
He is lazy — he is stupid about history — he steal other people work and claims it as his own.
He was a lazy Senator — and he is a lazy stupid candidate.
Obamabots are the most uninformed and lazy sob idiots– just like their lazy messiah.
I am not a male chauvinist. I supported Obama from the moment he declared his candidacy. I never hated Hillary, in fact I respect her greatly. I said from the beginning I would support whomever the Democrats nominated as I cannot live with another 4 years of Republican rule in the White House. I have a wife I adore and three beautiful children, whose future I constantly worry about. I have a 13 year old son and with John McBush’s plan to stay in Iraq could end up over there. It is not worth one more American Life, nor the billions of dollars we are spending, which could go towards health care, rebuilding our infrastructure, or developing alternatives to fossil fuels. As I said before, if Hillary were the nominee, I would have worked my tail off for her. I would never cut off my nose to spite my face. Just don’t paint all of us Obama supporters with a blanket statement.
Obscure perhaps but not inexperienced. He had an active legal practice for many years and was a frequent litigator of transportation law and almost considered the “house” attorney for the Illinois Central Railroad. Stephen Ambrose writes that Lincoln was a shaper of transportation law. He “rode” the 8th Judicial Circuit for 9 years.
Lincoln served in state militia in the Black Hawk war. As a legislator he was in the Illinois Illinois General Assembly (1834-1842) and the US House (1846-1848). He operated a barge company on the Sangamon and authored a patent (#6469) on barge flotation.
Obscure, perhaps to the Eastern elites. Stanton in an Ohio patent trail called Lincoln a long armed ape. Stanton became Lincoln’s War Secretary.
Mr. Lincoln’s resume is more substantial than Mr. Obama’s.
er, Abe had a reputation for telling the truth. He would not have gone through Iowa claiming he passed a safety bill that protected his district, when the bill never passed, and after nuclear interests donated to his campaign, re-wrote the bill protecting nuclear interests against his district.
Little stuff like that.
Abe didn’t hijack blogs and silence his competition by throwing them out, or harassing them.
On and on.
Obama has had enough experience to leave us underwhelmed.
My dear–it is a slightly more complicated world than when Lincoln took office. And Lincoln was not running against a well qualified, well vetted opponent who had the intelligence to have worked on solutions for many of the problems and the know-how for how to implement them. Our nation has grave difficulties–we need someone who can deal with them, someone who understands the problems and the people. Someone who cares.
What is this bitch talking about in this video?
Oh, My… the messiah cannot speak or make any sense without a TelemprompTer:

Tomorrow I am changing my party affiliation to Independent and I will vote for McCain, I do not want to vote for Republican, but look what Pelosi and Read die , so as others, they sell OUR party for their own gain. Remember how Pelosi was assuring as , that if Democrat winn Congres , Bush will go down!!!, a s sonn She got what She wants, She said< IMPECHMENT IS OF THE TABLE”. She turn Her back on Her long time Friende Mr.MYRTHA, and put in Mr.Hoyer, and MURTHA WAS TOLD, THAT HE WILL HOLD THIS POSITION. Pelosi stub Murtha, Us voters, Democratic Congres screw US to, now their turn thei back ON Hillary, as those so call” HILLARYE DELEGATETS AND FRIENDS, LIKE; Richardson….,
I am not affraid of McCaind, and I can see that Obama is slowely changing Jis mine on Iraq , so be prepare that Iraq will be first thing He will change. Our soldiers will continue dying, because Obama is just a pure liar, just to get to POWER!!!
Comparing Obama to Lincoln is beyond rediculous. When Lincoln was elected the world did not have nuclear weapons, terrorists, tv or the internet. Back in Lincoln’s time, the united states was not seen on a global scale. the comparison is rediculous.
Obama is not qualified, period.
You abused us and now want out vote. Forget it. Senator Mccain will win because we refuse your tactics.
If Obama becomes POTUS, watch the DNC eliminate primaries and substitute caucuses to make it easier to manipulate the nomination process.
When I watched her speech this morning, I felt something genuine in her voice. When she talked about dedicating her life to making America a better place, you could tell that was her deepest conviction.
She seemed a little hesitant endorsing Obama, but she also seemed very confident when she said we cannot afford to allow the Republicans to hold The White House for another 4 years or more.
In the end, I think Hillary’s decision to support Obama was what she feels is the best course for our country to follow. I’ve supported her so far, so there’s no reason for me to doubt her now.
Let’s take back The White House for the Democrats and turn the chapter on the Bush era of our country.
Thank you! You say it best.
I have to agree. I think when I’m in the voting booth this November, I’ll have to weigh the issues of each candidate and vote for the person that most closely reflects my values.
With so many similarities between Obama and Hillary, and so many critical differences between Hillary and McCain, I don’t think I could live with myself if I voted for McCain.
I’ll trust Hillary on this one. America really can’t afford a third term of GWB.
It cannot afford a first term of the obamas. That would be the worst thing for this country. EVER.
From what I’ve heard about McCain in my veterans groups, you DO NOT want to vote for him.
The damage he will do to our country will be unimaginable.
I would either vote third-party (like Nader or Barr) or support Hillary and vote for Obama.
Nice try moron, people here will know thats not me. I will never vote for your Obamessiah. I have stated clearly and repeatedly. If come November Obama is the nominee, I will vote against Obama by voting for McCain. That is 2 more votes Obama will have to get from chicago graveyards.
Those you see following the Obamessiah are not Democrats, though the species may try to look similar. They are in fact nothing but JACKASSES!
P.U.M.A.
wow, these putzs really are taking the pod people thing to the extreme. i think they need to be escorted from the building.
Is this really RedDragon62? There have been problems with an Oborg impersonating regular posters on other threads.
This is NOT RedDragon62
Who put the first woman on the Supreme Court? The GOP. Who put the first black woman as Secy of State? The GOP. who push to free the slaves in the first place? The GOP. There not so bad
Democrats actually put the first woman as secretary of state. The GOP of the 1800 is nothing like the GOP today. Democrats actually passed civil rights stuff. (LBJ)
It’s RACIST to mention LBJ…take that back.
LOL !! Good one street_parade.
Which Democrat appointed the first Secretary of State, Darren? Come on, say it.
Dammit. Some koolaid must have oozed through the keyboard. Which Democratic President appointed the first woman Secretary of State?
Ouw ouw I know …I know> Can I? … Can I?
“No Teak go sit down…racists aren’t alowed to speak….”
Darren go read up on Abe… your lack of knowledge is glaring.
The ‘civil rights stuff’ was passed by both Democrats and Republicans as well as being opposed by members of both parties.
LBJ was instrumental in getting it passed and is efforts should not be marginalized.
Congress passed the legislation that LBJ initiated. Ms. Clinton was correct in stating that LBJ realized the vision of integrationists articulated by ML King.
The civil rights bill was being fillibustered by the “Dixiecrats” of the democratic party. Byrd, Al Gore SENIOR, etc. It was passed when 44 of the 48 republicans voted FOR the civil rights bill, breaking the DEMOCRATIC DIXIECRATS fillibuster.
CONGRESS passed the civil rights bill, not Democrats alone.
Correction:
Senate Version:
Dem for 46 against 21
Repub for 27 against 6
House on Senate version
Dems 153 91
Repub 136 35
The fillibuster lasted 57 days.
And actually repubs gave us some of the most beautiful national parks. Go figure. Nixon was one. What exactly has our party done for us lately?
I know what they’ve done to us lately. But what have they done? Did we get same-sex marriage?
Nope. Did we get Bush impeached? Nope. Did we ever get the Equal Rights Ammendment passed? Nope.
Did we stop a scum-bag like Roberts from getting on the Supreme Court? Nope. Pffft. Instead of getting competent, the party decided to power-play its own membership out of the discourse. F the
democratic party.
You’re right — the democrats have done nothing for us. They have given themselves raises — they have given themselves health care.
The democrats have rolled over and done nothing.
No wonder congress has an approval rating in the basement!
We’re sore losers? Can’t accept the outcome of the primaries? We want to “take our ball” and go home? We’re racists?
Well, sour grapes make great wine and we are NOT accepting Sen. Obama to represent us in the White House. He doesn’t represent us, or grassroots Americans. He represents elitism, class warfare, demagoguery, race-baiting and misogyny. That’s his vision for America and the Democratic Party, not ours.
http://www.clintons4mccain.com/
I love this: sour grapes make great wine.
you also say
Those numbers disenfranchise voters in Michigan who wanted to vote for Obama but couldn’t, and the 30000+ write-in votes for Obama that were thrown out. They also disenfranchise voters in caucus states that didn’t keep official tallies of how many people showed up (Iowa, Nebraska, Maine, Washington State). When you add these voters, Obama leads Hillary.
I hope it keeps you warm when he loses big in November!
lol!!!!!! NOT with YOU, but AT YOU!!!!!!
Those are the rules in MI. Those votes (write ins) do not count and they were only theorizing those were for Obama, as again they are not allowed to be counted. It is the height of hypocrisy to agrue rules are rules but only when they favor your candidate.
Which rules of government will Obama support? Which parts of the constitiution will he agree with?
His naive foreign policy and his constant flip flopping on it will create certain disaster for the U.S. What rules will he apply to the tyrants he sympathizes with?
Do you have any justification for this man’s complete lack of regard for anyone but himself?
What will he really do for you?
So it’s okay to disenfranchise the voters who wanted to vote for Obama but couldn’t?
Also, if you want to talk about rules; it was against the rules for Michigan to hold its primary before february 5th!
I just want you to know I live in my mother’s basement.
Voters who wrote in Obama (as theorized) must have missed his campaigning in MI,; when he explicity told them to vote uncommitted.
Those(write in) votes are not legally certified and therefore could not be taken away. The legitimate votes that were cast by voters and certified were the only ones able to be disenfranchised.
Does the issue need repeating. 5 states moved primaries. The ones punished were done so to boost Obama.
1 candidate campaigned in both MI and FL and broke the “rules”.
This was a rigged election and worse, it was carried out in broad daylight.
That is the essence of AUDACITY.
What made you all think no one would notice..yet another attempt to label American voters as stupid?
Take it up with Obama. He’s the one who took his name off the ballot when he didn’t have to.
AMEN! Pure logic!
