Read (5.00 / 2) (#14)

some more on the DNC plan to end the primary season early.  At first I thought maybe they were going to seat MI and FL.  But that's not it.  They are determined to have Obama.  They are contemplating RIGHT NOW calling all SDs to a meeting in Washington and making them cast their vote NOW.  They are pushing the theory that the candidate who is ahead now should be the nominee and they're going to pressure the SDs to vote for Obama.  Then, the convention will just be an academic exercise.  

I can't think of a worse scheme to rip off the Democratic voters of this country.  I really think the Dem insiders do not care about the people of this country and certainly not the people of their party.  That's why Nancy Pelosi keeps talking about the "new, exciting young voters Barack Obama is bringing in."  They want a new party so they can amass greater power.  If they have a strong president, they'll have a diminished role.  

Well, that's my say.  I'm just really disgusted with these people at this point.

then McCain looks alot better. At least he was nominated fairly. Watch the party self destruct.

this is why FOX, Dick Morris and others are making a career of bashing Hillary.
as far as MSNBC I cant say if they are calculated or just stupid.

actually almost NONE of the people making those decisions would be gone by (or even at) the next election(s).

Their turnover rate is extremely low and they hate change if it involves them...so, don't count on party reform that means anything...to anyone...anytime...anywhere.

hope springs eternal.
I would hope it depended on how humiliating the defeat was.
can you say third party?

So let me ask you this... (none / 0) (#84)

Lets say they all got together right now and exercised their independant judgement and decided that Hillary was cleary the best candidate to lead the party foreward.

Would you be OK with that?

No, it would not be okay (5.00 / 1) (#114)

at all, regradless of which candidate benefits. It makes a complete mockery of the nomination process.

I'm starting to think Howard Dean should be charged with fraud.

But that's just me.

Irish, through and through.

Which is why I've never allowed myself to have a gun.

But I've added Howard to my list anyway.

Hillary's supporters are more certain than Obama's "Dems for a day" ploy to game the system in his favor.
When Limbaugh does it - it's bad.
When Obama does it - it's ignored.

That response doesn't answer my question (none / 0) (#107)
by Faust on Thu Mar 27, 2008 at 11:08:10 AM EST
Or even make sense in and of itself.
