Now you see that the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy was just another tactic thrown out by the Hildebeast…and everybody bought it hook, line, and sinker…it would be funny if it were not pathetic.

Dirty tricks in Nevada! B. Clinton contining the race based politics of minimizing Obama to the black candidate! Hillary campaigning (against her pledge) in Florida!

Sounds like a Republican to me. Vote Obama, down with Slick Hilly!

It’s the sheer transparency and scale of their lies that gets me. Just like her depictions of Obama as “unwilling to take a stand on change”–Obama, a man with a 100% rating from Planned Parenthood. “Lie” seems like too small a word for what the Clintons have been doing in this election.

hillary’s running for president like she must have tried running for class president. try running clean hil. it may make people like you again.

Hillary is politically street smart and a master of the photo-op. She has given little thought to her policies, and will say or do anything to win this election. She doesn’t even say how she will fund her universal health care program, which is unsustainable over the long haul. (There are 2 possible answers by the way, raise taxes or deduct it from our paychecks). When asked about the Iraq war during the South Carolina debate, she said that she would begin withdrawing troops within 60 days, but when pressed by Edwards, she gave NO timetable for total withdrawl. The mud slinging is only worse with Bill. Our best chance to oust the Clintons in the primary is Barack Obama. If John Edwards remains in the race through Super Tuesday, he will manage to take some of her votes, particularly those from seniors and white males.

I love how now that Hillary is in a fight for the nomination, she says that they should disregard what the party says and campaign in Michigan and Florida. If she were really concerned about the people in these states, why did she not stand up prior to this point in time months ago when the party froze these states out?

Hillary is a bad candidate and a self serving individual. If she steals the nomination, America would be right to rebuke her. I hope the people of her “adopted” state of New York take heed. Hillary has to go.

Just watch as the Clinton sleaze machine goes into overdrive attempting to change the rules at the last minute so that Hillary can win. While there are lots of good reasons to discuss the status of Florida’s delegates at the convention, that discussion should be taking place after the primaries, and Hillary Clinton’s reasons for bringing it up now are sickeningly obvious. As she has surely calculated, any who oppose her would appear to be opposing Florida’s right to participate in the nomination process. A short-term win for Clinton, perhaps, but one that in the long term may be of little benefit to a campaign that is looking dirtier by the day.

No. I disagree. I was not thrilled with Edwards or Obama for not keeping their names on the ballot. Stand up for the people and not the DNC is what I say.

Michigan has a serious problem with their economy over there and it has been overlooked for far too long. They moved their date up so that they would get the national attention they need. But “the man” said no. If the candidates were really for the people they would have supported Michigan in their efforts. The logic was why support Michigan when Hillary was way ahead in the polls, might as well support the DNC instead then.

Why are they all on the Florida ballot though then??

Everyone’s voice matters even if they did some funny business the DNC didn’t like. The Republicans even acknowledged that and only penalized those states with a reduction in delegates.

Robyn, Youre right, half instead of nothing or giving them all later is the best solution.

Obama knew that he couldn’t beat Clinton in Michigan, so he removed his name from the ballot. Edwards too. Obama knows that he can’t beat Clinton in Florida, so he isn’t requesting the Florida delegates to be reinstated, even though Obama has claimed that he wants to unite Americans. I believe that Obama would be on the Michigan ballot if he felt that he could win there, but he couldn’t so he removed his name. I believe that he would also be wanting the Florida delegates to have a voice if he felt that he could win there.

Why should the voices of Florida go unheard? Each candidate has an equal footing in that state because none of them have been campaigning there, and all states should have a voice in the nomination of a candidate. To me the solution could be to offer one half of Florida’s 185 delegates as a penalty, which would round up to 93. To prevent all delegates from these states is ridiculous.

If Hillary is nominated we, (7 retirees who have informal morning coffee at a diner) life time Democrats, will not only not vote for her but will vote Republican ACROSS the board down to dog catcher.

Goodbye Democratic `Party`

I’m ashamed of the Clintons. That’s all I can say.

To me, worse than attempting to change the rules they all agreed to in advance is trying to pin the consequences on Obama. The insidious Clinton campaign has soured me on this entire process. I was determined to wholeheartedly support whoever the Democratic nominee happened to be, and I’ve always held Bill Clinton in the highest regard. But the Rovian tactics of deliberate fallacies, character assassination, and seeing as politically expedient the strategy of terminating one of the Democratic Party’s brightest stars while at the same time injecting a racial divide and cheap politicking into a party that can’t survive any more divisions, could result in more than me and many others being unable to support her in the General Election. It might result in engineering a defeat out of one of the easiest elections the party has ever faced. If this is the way the Clintons want to play the game, I say Obama should refuse to be Swiftboated within his own party and demand that it stops now, and that both candidates run solely on their own records, or else there would be a promise to run as an Independent, thus torpedoing both their candidacies instead of allowing only his own to be sunk, and delivering the election from the party who has allowed the assassination of his political future to happen into the hands of John McCain, who has proved himself more honorable an adversary. That, or a promise to join McCain in a bipartisan ticket that would deliver the biggest landslide in history against the Clinton Party.

The Clintons gave us Bush…why would we want them back???

This is such a dirty trick, I have lost so much respect for her.

Another example of the Clintons at work, lie, cheat, bend the rules and make your party go along. im looking for Howard Dean to stand up to the Clintons and not give them the delegates.

Unfair rules should be changed, even if it is in the middle of the game. Obama and Edwards could have filed for the Michigan primary if they had wanted. The highest value should be letting every voter participate.

Wow, I’m astounded!!

Who could have imagined that they would shoot themselves in the foot for Romney? Perhaps they have realized that Sen. Obama has this thing won and even their electronic shenanigans won’t help them avoid a defeat. A vice presidency with ability to take credit for ‘bipartizanship’ at a time of ‘need’ for the country.
I know, I know!! It’s out of this world, but after the report of spacecraft around Dallas and now this I think we’ve officially entered Bizzarro world.

To I Am For Change Too…

“You’re all sexist, admit it! Tim Dickinson has no shame to use put-downs like “uncontested beauty contest”, and you guys are going alone with it.”

Oh, c’mon… this is the kind of petty he-said-she-said that is ruining this campaign. Couldn’t I just as easily complain that Tim’s basketball pre-game lay-up simile was a racist swipe against Obama?

Get over it. You’re candidate is cheating like a mug. Cheating, Cheating, Cheating… is that word gender neutral enough for you?

Again and again, this campaign has reminded the American people that the Clintons have no shame. They will do anything to get a third term in the White House. But America has had enough of the divisive politics that have been the hallmark of the Clintons’. Don’t elect them for a third term.

This phony primary election is the best thing that could have ever happened to Bushney. The mindless hacks who profess to be newsmen are so enamored with playing their favorite game, they ignore the fact that this country is going the way of the glaciers.

Judging by the wide acceptance of this practice, it would appear they are pandering to the prurient penchant of Americas for games, for that’s all that we have. The primaries are real enough. However, rather than reporting on the results, the media would rather play “pick ‘em,” to the detriment of their time honored role once held as part of the Fifth Estate.

Professionalism be damned. Games are more fun. Sounds like Rome before the fall. Bushney fiddles whist America burns. By by America. The dust bin is just around yonder bend in the road.

For once, the immoral and the politically stupid have come together.

You’re all sexist, admit it! Tim Dickinson has no shame to use put-downs like “uncontested beauty contest”, and you guys are going alone with it. And Obama’s long silence about the war until just before running for presidency is ‘good character’. Just a crowd pleaser to get into power. You are all just tools!

Can Wild Turkey get stale??

Re-do is the only fair way. Just like grade school kickball, re-do.

If nominee has not been decided by June 3rd (last day of currently scheduled primaries) and Michigan and Florida still want to be re-enfranchised, then they must each schedule primary elections within x number of days (well before August convention), giving all remaining candidates ample time to campaign.

States screwed up, so they have to nullify early elections and pay for the re-do election, if they want it. DNC agrees to honor results and seat delegates determined at re-do elections.

WHO IS GIVING THIS CREATURE ITS ADVICE! I honestly think she’s trying to get MORE people to hate her, some kind of sick campaign strategy. Changing the rules in the middle of the game is the Republican’s job. If this woman becomes president we are all in trouble. Mexico may have to deal with a backwash of illegal aliens coming in from here. But hey, at least we can all work for GM making “American” cars. Thank her hubby Bill and NAFTA for that! Wake me when it’s over! })

p.s. @ Damn. You’re being WAY too nice.

Somebody needs to slap that woman down and put her in her place.

It’s breathtaking really. Not merely opportunistic, but the thin end of a wedge that could cripple the party. First it sours voters on her, then it sours voters who suffer from the dumb moves of the Florida & Michigan parties, then (if it were to work) it means that people who played by the rules get their votes diluted. And if she wins, it reminds independants why they don’t like her

This is so disgraceful.

Hillary Clinton’s fans are stupider than George Bush’s supporters.

The evil Clintons have demonstrated the direction America will take when they take office and the Hillary dimwits still think she is ‘different’ from George Bush, just because she’s a woman.

It’s sad.

Hill is a bitch.
