Monsoon Season in Colorado: Stormy Weather Ahead

What’s going to happen in Denver during the Democratic Convention? Well, lots of out-of-towners are going to suffer from altitude sickness. And while it’s likely to hit 100 degrees with an average humidity of 12%, it’s also monsoon season, so the Pray for Rain brigade may luck out:
Thunderstorms are common in summer afternoons, specifically during the late summer monsoon season.
Recreate 68 has announced its lineup. It appears to be a training ground for protesters/ rock concert. The lineup is an alphabet soup of the marginalized, those mad-at-everybody, the unwashed dread lock-wearing, drum-circling, white, upper-class boys. Picture the crowd outside the gates of a Dead concert, alongside some with loud political agendas. While Ward Churchill will speak, Cynthia McKinney and the Green Party report that are listed by mistake:
Cynthia McKinney, Green Party candidate for President, and Rosa Clemente, Green Party candidate for Vice President are NOT participating in any Recreate ‘68 activities.
And inside the Pepsi Center you’ll find a convention designed as a “Town Hall” meeting with a series of themes. Clearly this allows the party to control for content and against spontaneity. ABC is sending Charlie Gibson and Diane Sawyer to Denver but oddly enough, al-Jazeera English will be located in Golden, CO, the home of Coors Brewery. If you’re anything like me, you don’t give a rat’s patooti about the presumptuous nominee’s pick for VP. In fact, the only thing I’m interested in is what impact Hillary and her supporters will have on the convention and the nomination process. According to CNN, delegates, super and otherwise, can vote for whomever they want:
Clinton can still win votes from delegates at the Democratic National Convention even if her name is not placed in nomination. Delegates are free to vote for anyone they want to at the convention.
Knowing how popular Hillary remains, and how devoted and disgruntled her supporters are, it’s not surprising that the Atlantic and other Obama-media outlets are once again dissing her, her campaign and of course, her supporters. The sexists insults continue (women are infamous for being indecisive, so why not say that Hillary couldn’t make decisions.) While Josh Green trots out emails and memos that demonstrate the “catty” behavior in Clinton’s campaign, Dowd uses the opposite end of the spectrum in her sexists putdowns: Hillary is “orchestrating” the events of the convention. In fact, if you read Dowd’s Op-Ed while ignoring her uncontrollable nastiness and jealousy toward all things Clinton, her portrayal of Hillary (and Bill) contradict all the Hillary-blaming in Green’s CDS Opus. For example, Dowd writes:
While Obama was spending three hours watching “The Dark Knight” five time zones away, and going to a fund-raiser featuring “Aloha attire” and Hawaiian pupus, Hillary was busy planning her convention.
Wow, if this is true, rock-on Hillary! The corrupt forces of Pelosi, Brazile, Dean et al, stole the election from Democracy, disenfranchising Michigan, Florida and 18 million voters, and Obama’s supporters want Hillary (and Bill) to:
“get in the box” or get lost if they can’t show more loyalty, rather than giving them back-to-back, prime-time speaking gigs at the convention on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Not only is Hillary not getting in the box (whatever that means), according to Dowd:
Hillary’s orchestrating a play within the play in Denver. Just as Hamlet used the device to show that his stepfather murdered his father, Hillary will try to show the Democrats they chose the wrong savior.
Yes, Dowd wrote “savior.” Wonder why that word came to mind? And while Dowd spins this as negatively as her one-track rhetorical skills allows her to, for many of us, what Hillary is doing is creating a moment of Real Democracy. The voices, desires, concerns, fears and objections, etc, of Dems who don’t want Obama will be heard. Dowd continues her sexism by calling Hillary’s female followers “gals” but even with Dowd’s green-eyed prose, this makes me proud:
{Hillary} said she thought it would be good for party unity if her gals felt “that their voices are heard.” But that’s disingenuous. Hillary was the one who raised the roll-call idea at the end of May with Democrats, who were urging her to face the math. She said she wanted it for Chelsea, oblivious to how such a vote would dim Obama’s star turn. Ever since she stepped aside in June, she’s been telling people privately that there might have to be “a catharsis” at the convention, signaling she wants a Clinton crescendo.
Clearly Dowd thinks the convention is just a pro forma performance to crown His Majesty; the paternalism in this statement is stunning:
Obama also allowed Hillary supporters to insert an absurd statement into the platform suggesting that media sexism spurred her loss and that “demeaning portrayals of women … dampen the dreams of our daughters.”
Of course, the Democratic Party has created this myth that Obama is the choice of the party. Sacha Millstone, who did valuable volunteer work for Hillary’s campaign and is a delegate for Hillary, is being brow-beaten by Party Officials:
The Colorado Democratic Party would like Boulder delegate Sacha Millstone, who is devoted to Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, to give up her spot as a delegate to the Democratic National Convention.
Apparently, the CDP wants strict party loyalty to extend to speech:
Party officials said Monday that they won’t insist Millstone resign. But in an e-mail last week, Billy Compton, state political director of the Colorado Democratic Party, ordered Millstone into his office to explain disparaging comments she made about Barack Obama.
Sounding frighteningly undemocratic, Millstone receive this message:
“You are hereby directed to come in to the party Headquarters and explain your comments and why you should remain a national delegate to the 2008 Democratic National Convention in light of these comments,” the letter said.
A lesser person may have caved after receiving a letter like this, but Millstone hired a lawyer. She writes:
“Isn’t there a right to free speech? Isn’t this right in line with our time-honored tradition with the Dems?” she said. “These intimidation tactics have a chilling effect on people feeling comfortable speaking up.”
What’s happening in Denver? Much more than a convention paying homage to The One selected by a corrupted Democratic Party. What’s going on here affects you and I much more than we know.
State Democratic Party chair Pat Waak, who said it would be nice to have a united delegation when 50,000 conventioneers arrive in Colorado, called the Millstone matter “moot.” “We’re getting too near the convention, and she’s refused to come in,” Waak said. Any effort to intimidate Clinton supporters won’t work, at least not on at-large Clinton delegate Sonya Jaquez Lewis, who lives in unincorporated Boulder County. “It makes me angry,” Jaquez Lewis said. “It makes me want to now really be even louder about issues and concerns that before I was willing to look the other way.”
HAHAHA JOKE OF THE DAY
Puffington Post compares Nancy Pelosi to Christy Turlington
Here is the exact quote
“Common traits: High cheekbones, dazzling white smiles, being the best in the business (and, frankly, knowing it)”
ROFL HAHAHAHAHA Arianna needs new writers, Puffington has become a joke site
Why are you reading anything by that idiot and why wasn’t the mention of models a gigantic clue that it was mindless drivel?
HERE’S YOUR SIGN!
Oh and then they compare Hillary to Stam, which is a fair comparison, yet they call both of them “yesterday’s news”
Obviously the Puffingtons are clueless about politics and fashion as both Stam and Hill are at the top of the game now.
Help me, what is Stam?
Her name is actually Jessica Stam, but people commonly refer to her by her last name. She is a major supermodel, probably one of the most stunning women, blue eyes, blond hair, and she is one of the current sensations. Google her.
Obama also allowed Hillary supporters to insert an absurd statement into the platform suggesting that media sexism spurred her loss and that “demeaning portrayals of women … dampen the dreams of our daughters.”
Arrggg, I’m sending Dowd a virtual smack in the mouth. What a disgraceful thing to say. A thousand fleas be upon you.
I love Hillary!!
I despise Arianna!
the pray for rain group had to retract their ad due to a mountain of complaints!!
Don’t worry about it Kyle. Doesn’t it say somewhere in the Old Testament, it is better to pray in the closet?
Rev. Ted Haggard took that saying to heart, apparently.
I am praying for hail, which is not uncommon in Colorado during the summer. I remember helping Grandmother cook for the wheat harvesters and them worried about hail.
plainsradio.com is now on all about Obama!
Please pass on the info at Heidi’s Blog http://heidilipotpourri.blogspot.com/2008/08/bearing-witness.html
ALL Georgia Delegates must sign up at my BO or they will harrass you public on the delegate calls here is part of the email sent
“This is one for the Obama Campaign, so if you filled it out for the DNC and the State Party, please we the campaign still needs you to do so…
If you have not filled this out you WILL BE MENTIONED on the call, so please take the time to do so…”
I used to come to this site for comments about Valerie Plame and the illegal outing pulled on her by the Bush Administration. What’s happened? What’s the word on her lawsuit?
The civil suit was thrown out a few days ago!
Google it for info, the decision was made a couple of days ago….she lost round two at the appeals court. It was covered by all the news networks.
Dowd’s hateful column on the Clintons ends up portraying Barry as a clueless wimp.
Did anyone ever wonder if the Clinton hate by huffington and dowd is due to maybe Bill turned them both down?
Lets face it neither one could make out in a prison with a fist full of pardons.
COUNTRY BEFORE PARTY ALWAYS
PUMAS,BUBBAS, AND THOSE PEOPLE RULE
No mater what these fools do they will NEVER silence the voices of the people. Actually it only serves to make us stronger.
PUMA POWER!
Country before party!
Does anyone know who will replace that SD that was shot? Be interesting to know if the put an Obama bot in that spot.

This speculation about bambi’s possible running mate is interesting…
http://www.allvoices.com/contributed-news/1094863-john-kerry
Kerry or Kaine - BOTH LOSERS - three LOSERS when you add barky.
LOL - somebody at Hillary Clinton Forum said oblahblah’s gonna pick a VP candidate whose name starts with “K” so the ticket can be “O-K!” Pretty smart, huh? I mean, ALL HIS TEENAGE FANS (the majority of his “supporters”) will really really be down with that!
Is this really the theme? I hadn’t heard…
But it has me worried because SECURING AMERICA is Wes Clark’s theme - NOT John Kerry’s. Heck - it’s the name of Wes’ website.
I am a HUGE long-time admirer of Wes Clark - and a Clarkie. So, I am praying to God so hard that Wes Clark would NEVER NEVER EVER in a million years be associated with the likes of that barky fraud.
But, maybe I’m just over-reacting - I mean, every word out of Kerry’s mouth in 2003/2004 he stole from Wes - so, he’s probably just staying true to form and calling Wes’ theme his own now.
I couldn’t care less who bambi’s running mate is - as long as it’s NOT Wes Clark.
If Obama is picking a “K” candidate so his ticket will be “OK”, I’d like to point out that O.K. is K.O. backwards…and that’s what I’m looking forward to in the general elections…A BIG K.O. FOR OBAMA.
Oh yeah - good one! KO it is!
I am shocked if BO picks Kerry…hasn’t he seen the pictures of Kerry at keg parties recently drinking with underage college girls??
Kerry and BO, two stuck up Thurston Howe III wannabes! Their theme could be “AREN”T WE GREAT!”…dressed in their Navy blazers with brass buttons and kerchief at the neck….
they could have Harry Reid as Gilligan and Ed Rendell as The Skipper….Mrs. Howe could be Nancy Pelosi…how should be Ginger??? Rielle Hunter!!!
And MaryAnne….(no jokes about Elizabeth Edwards??) could be …who?
They will be going on more than a 3 hour tour. The here will be a storm….and they are sure floating in a minnow.
As for that freak who got the emails and memos from the campaign I can tell you this much in absolute fact:
Hillary Clinton was a candidate who was running for President of the United States…..with that said, when the campaign staff some who were moles began to cause trouble, Hillary did not have the time and could not afford to waste time playing mom to those childish campaign staffers.
With that said, she took the bull by the horns, being the brilliant strategist that she, defined her own direction, at which point the tide began to turn and she began winning big states.
Candidates do not have time to babysit and mediate. Her leader betrayed her and was a mole…..Patty Solis Doyle. This was something that was out of Hillary’s control.
When you hire professionals, like Penn and others, you expect them to do their jobs. Her staff betrayed her. Not all of them. Some very key staff and that is why key things failed in the beginning.
Solis Doyle was a MOLE and betrayed Hillary after being with her for many years. The idiot who wrote the article based on the leaks of memos from the campaign did not get it right.
HILLARY CLINTON HAD TO RUN ON HER OWN AND THAT SHE DID WHILE HER STAFF WAS GETTING THEIR SHIT TOGETHER AND WHEN HILLARY WAS RUNNING HER OWN STRATEGY SHE WAS WINNING BIG!
THAT IS THE TRUTH AND YOU CAN TAKE IT TO THE BANK!
PATTY SOLIS DOYLE SHOULD BE STRUNG UP AND HORSE WHIPPED FOR WHAT SHE DID TO HILLARY.
DOYLE WAS HER MAIN PLAYER AND SHE WAS A MOLE.
DOYLE SCREWED THE CAMPAIGN FROM DAY ONE AND ON.
PATTY SOLIS DOYLE HAS BEEN APPOINTED TO BE THE CHIEF OF STAFF TO THE YET TO BE ANNOUNCED VICE PRESIDENT….THIS IS HER REWARD FOR BETRAYING HILLARY……AND HANDING THE ELECTION TO OBAMA…..
THAT IS WHY HILLARY LOST
CLEARLY OBAMA’S MOLES INFILTRATED HILLARY’S ORGANIZATION. THERE IS NO OTHER EXPLANATION FOR HER POOR PERFORMANCE EARLY ON.
“… Hillary did not have the time and could not afford to waste time …. she took the bull by the horns, being the brilliant strategist that she, defined her own direction, at which point the tide began to turn and she began winning big states.”
This reminds me of the movie Harrison Ford starred in, where he played the President - they were on the Air Force One when they were infiltrated by some assassins and he had to take matters into his own hands, engaged the enemies and killed all the bad guys and saved the day!
That’s what leaders do, without missing a beat, take “the bull by the horns” and win inspite of setbacks. That’s Hillary!
Very interesting comment, Judd. I would be curious to hear what kinds of things are thought to have been done to sabotage the campaign.
The whole anti-Hillary campaign was waged from many quarters, from Dowd to Doyle.
Sacha Millstone is a heroine and should be an example to all of us: Do not back down to the Obama Stalinists; do what you have to do and don’t let them be able to get rid of you.
Thank you, Sacha. Your example has inspired millions, and we will follow in your footsteps.
There isn’t going to be any caving in to Obama’s thuggery. We won the popular vote. If the coupists want to select Barry, they will be fought until the end.
And Barry will fall, politically, in November.
I should add:
Great piece, Medusa. You really put this all together very well. Thanks.
The Atlantic and other MSM outlets are working hard to subvert democracy and Democratic Party tradition. We have to make sure that these opponents of freedom of speech and expression do not succeed.
Anything any of us can do helps. One call, one email, one letter to the editor.
Now is our time to rise to the challenge, just as Hillary did by becoming the presidential primary candidate with the most votes in history cast for HER. Yes, HER.
We’ve taken off the glass ceiling. Don’t let the coupists put it back on.
Write, email, send letters.
Please.
What? We can’t pray for rain on comrade Ummbama’s party? Fine. I’m praying a plague of frogs jump in his pants.
PUMAs headed for Denver are advised to pack their tranquilizer guns. We know the Obama camp are thugs, and we know they’re desperate.
It will be a miracle if the Obamites and the PUMAs don’t come to blows.

When Maureen Dowd wrote
it was obvious that she didn’t do much research on her subject because Senator Clinton’s “convention” will be held in a big warehouse where her supporters will have their very own barbed wire cages to watch the “inspiring” Democratic events taking place before them. Events guaranteed to produce outbursts of screaming and uncontrolled dancing from applications of tasers while Barry Soetoro in the guise of Barack Obama holds court in a football stadium.
If Senator Clinton is lucky she will not be witness to her own “convention” and if We the People are lucky the world will witness the beginning of the New Democratic Party’s hope and change that will signal the demise of our Democratic/Republic after 230 years.
Both political parties have shown that they have no respect for the citizens of this country and the Constitution that protects them. And we thought it was just Bush. But now we know that this is not about an unfit candidate with more aliases than most criminals. It is about the ruthless display of power that disregards the Will of the People expressed in 18 million votes and the stealing of other candidates delegates to give to this mystery man from nowhere.
We can not have gone through this primary season, witnessed the ugly name calling and the threats against Senator Clinton and ourselves without being reminded of Pastor Niemoller’s immortal words (which may be the only ones Obama hasn’t laid claim to)
There’s no one left to save us so it is up to us to save ourselves. We are at the turning point where we speak up or are intimidated into silence. For all of you willing and able to fight for our freedom in Denver please be careful. These politicians mean to crush dissent and I fear that this will not end well. As brave as you are, we do not need more unsung heroes - we need to live to fight another day.
HAHAHA…NQers are on a roll today! Thanks for the hee-haws!
I am waiting for Meshall to give her
drivelspeech. Then hopefully they will take herrantspeech and cut in with the whitey tapes. All ready for prime time, preferably during the convention. Be really a stroke if the RNC has bought ad time during or around the DNC.Interesting article including the glimpse into the Party bullying tactics.
