  • Hennry2008 · 1 year ago
    The dirty little secret that the Obama people won't tell you nor the media that supports Obama is that the "math" does not add up for him either. Obama can't win enough delegates with the remaining primaries. They know this and that is why they have created the narrative that Obama should get the nomination anyway because he is ahead. And the SD's should just give them their votes so that he could reach 2025 and be declared the winner. If you already won, why do you need the votes of the SD's?

    But they also forget to mention that that is not the rule of the DNC. The SD can vote anyway they choose. They are independent voters and not bound to anyone. Their job is to choose the best candidate.

    Love this cartoon by Nick Anderson in today's Houston Chronicle:

    http://blogs.chron.com/nickanderson/

    One of Houston's most respected pastors, Rev. William Lawson, who founded the Wheeler Avenue Baptist Church writes today defending his long time friend Rev. Jeremiah Wright. Rev. Lawson once worked alongside Martin Luther King. Rev. Wright has often been a guest speaker in some Houston churches but just canceled an appearance here this week at Lawson's church due to death threats on several persons, even threats against the church building:

    http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/editorial/o...

    Rev. Lawson quotes some words of Jesus Christ :

    "Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees ... hypocrites! ... Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of Hell?" Sound familiar? That's a sound bite, not the totality of the preaching of Jesus.

    Henry. Maybe you aren't old enough but I remember watching havoc in the last Democratic Convention where the will of the people was ignored, the DNC power brokers anointed Hubert Humphrey as the party's nominee even though he never bothered to enter ONE primary. That week in Chicago was one long riot with police batons cracking heads, folks screaming from tear gas assaults. Even Dan rather was assaulted trying to interview a Georgia delegate who had been replaced by another group of pro-DNC delegates.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TrlYRWD_tnA

    If Hillary causes another riot in Denver, watch for the Democratic Party to be shattered for possibly another 40 years as it has been since 1968. However, the Clintons only care for themselves, NOT the party.

    let's reverse this Henry...

    If Obama were behind in both delegates AND popular vote... and he counted SOLELY on getting the SD's... EVEN IF THEY WERE VOTING AGAINST THE POPULAR VOTE...

    how would you feel? you voted for hillary... but Obama steals the SD's? would your vote even count??
  • Hennry2008 · 1 year ago
    If the SD felt the Obama was the best candidate then they should vote for him. Obama would not be stealing anything. I know that you want to keep to your narrative, but lets keep it to the rules of the game. As I remember Obama has several SD that have supported him and gone against the will of the people of their states. And it is interesting that these SD use the "we think that OBAMA is the best candidate" to justify their willingness to go against the will of the people. The same standard that Obama's camp use to threatened the Black SD.

    Another video of the tragic 1968 Democratic Convention. There were sometimes TWO groups of delegates showing up from various states. One official group who wished to represent the votes in their states for Robert F. Kennedy and Sen. Eugene McCarthy who received many of the anti-war votes after Kennedy was assassinated only minutes after winning the California primary. However, other delegate groups loyal to the DNC and Hubert Humphrey would show up without credentials and demand to represent their states. Hopefully, the Billarybots won't try to unseat the official delegates of the states where Obama won the most delegates.

    WE THE PEOPLE decide who is the best candidate! you're completely fine with giving up YOUR VOTING RIGHTS?!?!?

    dude, I'm sorry... you're fucked up.

    if the situation were reversed like I said... and Obama tried to STEAL (yes, STEAL) the nomination... I'd be fricking PISSED!!

    This, for me anyway, has NOTHING to do with which candidate is doing it... its about being a registered Democrat and seeing one of the candidates trying to invalidate my (and the POPULAR) vote.

    In my opinion, the lurking dog to look out for is Algore. Word is that he is positioning behind the scenes to take advantage of any weakness in Obama's campaign. Don't forget that when Gore whimped out in 2000, he was closely tied to the Clinton Crime Family. This is the same freak who convinced himself that he invented the internet. Don't be fooled by the fraud Algore when he appears on the scene and pretends he is some "white knight". I've never trusted him.

    Another video of the police riot at the 1968 Democratic Party. This is what happens when voices are muzzled and votes are ignored. The DNC and the party were still pro-Vietnam War at the time when many Democrats wanted to end the war. The DNC prevailed but Nixon and the Repulbicans won and got to continue the war. However, police cracking heads didn't stop the anti-war movement....it only became stronger.

    tommccaslin. I haven't given money from some of my small pensions to the Barack Obama campaign to have Al Gore waltz in at the end, without raising a dime, without taking any barbs for many exhausting months on the road, to become our party's nominee. People are taking off their rose-colored glasses from the Clinton years and that includes seeing Al Gore in a different light, too.

    i'm willing now to bet money that Lieberman will be McCain's VP nominee under the premise of being some bs "unity" ticket. But when you're a DLC Democrat, are you really representing real Democrats? And Lieberman, well, he's not even a Democrat anymore! Let's also not forget Hillary is really pumping up McCain's experience above her own parties front runner.

    Some Democrats these DLC types are They get indignant when the party retakes the House and Senate and badmouth the Democratic front runner while praising the Republican opponent. then they try to extort and blackmail if the party doesn't coronate them over someone who actually has the grass roots soundly behind them.

    The only way I see this is going to be resolved NOW is for these superdelegates to pick sides ASAP! Before Hillary brings down the entire party in her lust for power.

    Gore didn't even say he was interested, so I don't why you're lumping him in with the overly ambitious Clintons. Gore won in 2000 & if not for the Supremes, our country & the world would be a much much better place today if he had been able to fulfill the will of the majority of the electorate. That said, why would he even want to take over the vast & various disasters that BushCo has created? Al Gore is doing good & important works, without trying clean up W's dirty, stinky diapers!

    Hillary Lied about Chelsea on 9/11

    Hillary’s Other Fabrication
    By Dick Morris and Eileen McGann

    Now that Hillary has been nailed in an outright fabrication of her role in Bosnia, it is time to remind ourselves of another, even more galling, fantasy that Hillary tried to sell to voters.

    After Sept. 11, Hillary had a problem. New Yorkers were desperately focused on their own need for protection and they were saddled with a senator who was not one of them — an Arkansan, or was it a Chicagoan?

    Interviewed on the “Today Show” one week after Sept. 11, she spun an elaborate yarn. The kindest thing we could say was that it was a fantasy. Or a fabrication.

    She said that Chelsea was jogging around the World Trade Center on Sept. 11 and happened to duck into a coffee shop when the airplanes hit. She said that this move saved Chelsea’s life. But Chelsea told Talk magazine that she was in a friend’s apartment four miles from ground zero when the first plane hit. Her friend called her, waking her up, and told her to turn on the TV. On television, she saw the second plane hit, disproving Hillary’s claim that “she heard the plane hit. She heard it. She did.”

    So why did Hillary make up the story about Chelsea? Most likely to was because her co-senator (and implicit rival for the voters’ affection), a real New Yorker, Charles Schumer (D), spoke of his daughter, who attended Stuyvesant High School, located next to the Trade Center, being at real risk on Sept. 11. Hillary needed to make herself part of the scene.

    She invented the entire story on national television, the “Today Show,” and didn’t blink an eye.

    Her fabrication on the “Today Show” was no unique foray. It is her standard M.O. It gives us pause in evaluating all of her stories and calls into question her entire credibility.

    Hey, folks, hope you kept up - - -

    Wealth held by rich investors with assets over $1 million is set to grow 50 percent in the next five years to $75 trillion, according to a report published on Thursday.

    The study by management consultancy Oliver Wyman found that the annual growth rate of wealth held by high net worth individuals is expected to slow to nine percent in the next five years as tougher market environment bites.

    Global wealth held by rich clients grew by an annual 12 percent over the past five years to 2007 to $50 trillion thanks to a bull run in stock markets.

    Somebody is dragging the swamps for every word that Rev. Wright has ever said. MSNBC now talking up that Rev. Wright supposedly slimed Italians calling them "garlic noses".

    Here is what Rev. Wright wrote, talking about the ANCIENT Romansand their view of Jesus Christ.

    "The Italians for the most part looked down their garlic noses at the Galileans."

    My exact sentiments. Gore's failure to endorse Obama and now self-aggrandizing media appearances remind me all too much of someone trying to game the system. The more Gore espouses his loony "one-world" crap, the more convinced I am that he was never fit to be President. Obama has stood the test of some really vicious attacks, and Gore has no right to skip the process and suddenly appear at the finish line.

  • tommccaslin · 1 year ago
    "Gore didn't even say he was interested, so I don't why you're lumping him in with the overly ambitious Clintons."

    That's the point. He's still playing coy and won't rule out being a spoiler (which all indications are that he will be). Gore should have endorsed Obama a long time ago. Remember Gore worked side by side with the corrupt Clintons all through the 90's. He was involved in their scandals on a daily basis. Plus, I'll never forget how he whimped out and just walked away from the 2000 battle. Someone that unsure of himself has no business running for office. He needs to quit cutting backroom deals with Billary and endorse Obama already.

    In fact, Clinton did not say that Chelsea was jogging "around the towers of the World Trade Center" when the planes hit. On the September 17, 2001, edition of Dateline NBC, Hillary Clinton said that her daughter had "gone, what she thought would be just a great jog. She was going to go down to Battery Park, she was going to go around the towers. She went to get a cup of coffee and -- and that's when the plane hit." From the September 17, 2001, edition of Dateline NBC:

    There are solid reasons to be a supporter of Hillary Clinton, in spite of the last few months of mis-steps in her campaign, and there's no reason to disparage loyal supporters.

    In fact, when it looked like Obama didn't have a chance in hell of winning, loyalty to Obama was lauded.

    Bringing the party together behind one nominee will require all of us to be understanding and sympathetic to people who supported a candidate other than ours.
  • zavlin · 1 year ago
    Its interesting because i dont consider myself to be an obama supporter exactly, but what hillary is doing right now is making it very clear to me that shes willing to drag the party through the mud for whatever interests she may have. Her "life long experience" stories are a huge liability for the mainstage of a political campaign, and the fact is she can only rightfully win the nomination with a complete sweep of the remaining elections, and she knows this, but wants to push the angle that the people's vote can be ignored by the delegates. Its just not acceptable, and i now could not vote for her regardless if she won the nomination.
  • Mike_H · 1 year ago
    I try not to assume I know what someone is thinking, so I'm not going to suggest I know why Clinton is doing what she's doing. Maybe she's getting bad advice. Maybe there is more going on behind the scenes than John knows about. Maybe she's getting more signals than John is reporting. Maybe she believes that Obama is unelectable, and that if he is the nominee, we will lose. If this last is the case, then her fight is not just for herself, but for all Democrats.

    Her actions are unfortunate, but the motivations are unclear. What is more unfortunate is that the party has these superdelegate rules in the first place. With a much more clear cut process, this kind of angst would not happen.
  • aquarius2 · 1 year ago
    There are no solid reasons to be a Hillary supporter. Anyone, and I mean anyone, who is willing to destroy the entire national election in order to be self-fulling does not deserve support. The actual counts, the popular vote all suggest that Clinton has no chance of winning, so why continue? Her credibility is lacking, her ethical behavior is deplorable, and personally, I don't want another secretive, devious, lying president.

    Which candidate would be more likely to offer a cabinet position to Gore? One that Gore would accept at any rate. I dont think he will gun for the presidency, he knows better and truly seems to have gotten over running for that office.
