Clinton Fat Cats Hiss at Pelosi

In other words, a vote for Hillary Clinton will be a vote for donors steering politics in the White House and Washington again.
These guys certainly have guts & no shame.

and well they should, nancy P. got her job as speaker, did a photo op. made the rounds letting people congradulate her. went to her job on monday and sat down and has done nothing else. she had no right to try and force the superdelegates to vote their state. if they did richardson and kerry would go to hillary. I hope we have some real statemen in the superdelegates and will vote and do what is right for the country in the long run.

I guess its screw the people that voted, it’s a done deal “Hillary will win the primary”!!! The Fat cats and the special interest and lobbyist “The ones that Grease the democrat’s” have spoken.!!!!
Thats why she keeps running – this is the FIX!!!

Well consideing the amount of money Obama has raised from the small guy, and how much Clinton has taised from the fat cats who cares?
I would like to see the fat cats dry up and go away. This is one of the things Obama has wanted to see happen.
This is my country too. Hillary’s campaign now using mobey as a threat. Great Clinton for small average guy. Ha!

For all the Obama minions who say it is over for Hillary her campaign is in it’s death throes and she should drop out now, all she needs to do is win big in PA & Puerto Rico, & West Virgina, Stay close and win by smaller margins in Indiana, Kentucky and North Carolina, and she will be about 37 delegates away from Obama with a few hundred thousand more votes. Does she have a chance? You better believe it! All John Edwards has to do is support Hillary and his 36 delegates plus his one super give it an 1855 to 1855 delegate tie.
So all of you screaming and yelling for Hillary to drop out right now are terrified of this very realist outcome.
Like Hillary said today. This race is far from over.

If you want to start talking about “purchased nominations” Mr. Obama is close to the One Million dollar mark on greasing the Super Delegates palms. Is that where all the 5 and 10 dollar donations from people who sacrifice meals are going to? Nice job Mr. Obama. Rob from the poor and giver to the rich.

Is Nancy an Election fixer now.
Nothing like trying to throw your power around and influence people’s votes. That should be illegal.
Is she sucking up to Obama to be on his ticket if he gets to be the nominee?
Neutral and unbiased would keep their trap shut and be neutral and unbiased.

Dear Senator Nancy Pelosi,
I admire your courage in voicing your opinion and concern for the party. Please be brave and denounce those who threatened you when you spoke the truth about the ongoing dirty fighting and lies that Clinton campaign is spewing out. There are far more good people in this country to support you when the time comes for you to stand for re-election. Think of the good people who were percicuted for standing up against evil. Think of the men and women of US armed forces who are in Afghanistan to fight against crooks that make life miserable for good common people. Be brave. Don’t faulter. Stand up what is right.

At least the voters who voted for Clinton knew who they were voting for. The voters who voted for Obama voted because they liked his way of speaking, sometimes it was his words sometimes it wasn’t. Obama voters didn’t know crap about him because the news media has given him a free ride and he for sure didn’t volunteer any information about his association with his pastor. There are many who would not have voted for him if they had known his past. This Democrat will put the Country first. If I have to, I will vote as an Independent and write Hillary’s name in.

This is a double game that the HRC has going on now.
Hillary can’t win honestly due to math. Everybody knows this. But if she admits it in public the donor base will go elsewhere. Cash dries up.
So she has to pretend the can win legitimately while engaging in desperate tactics that at the same time demonstrate her weakness.

CG: You ignored my previous post, so here is the math again. It is still very viable for Hillary to continue in the race:
For all the Obama minions who say it is over for Hillary her campaign is in it’s death throes and she should drop out now, all she needs to do is win big in PA & Puerto Rico, & West Virgina, Stay close and win by smaller margins in Indiana, Kentucky and North Carolina, and she will be about 37 delegates away from Obama with a few hundred thousand more votes. Does she have a chance? You better believe it! All John Edwards has to do is support Hillary and his 36 delegates plus his one super give it an 1855 to 1855 delegate tie.
So all of you screaming and yelling for Hillary to drop out right now are terrified of this very realist outcome.
Like Hillary said today. This race is far from over.

Westie and Tonya got Hillary’s back.

Oh right mg2, Obama’s hands are clean when it comes to the destruction of the Democratic party. He can just say, well, I wasn’t there when the party was being destroyed. I had no knowledge of the destruction, and I voted “present” on that matter..lol

Commanderguy: Rev Wrights got Obama’s back! Maybe not it looks like the Obama camp has kidnapped the Rev for (obamas)no I mean his own protection. Obama always looking out for his relatives. Except for his grandmother who he threw under a bus.

WCM, Larry Sinclair had a hold of something else of Obama’s…Now that’s low….You know the Repubs are holding that story until the general.

I think Pelosi should talk straight to Clinton and propose to follow Mike Gravel’s example. Not by switching to the Libertarian Party, but by joining the Arkansas Women’s Action Fund and stay there.

davej,
Don’t believe all that jazz. I donated to Clinton and believe me I am no fatcat. My 90-year old neighbor donated to Hillary, she is no fatcat, and on and on and on.

Nope TCG: we’re not talking 70-30 here.
we’re talking 66-34 , or 60-39, so she doesn’t need numbers that big. with a 58-42 win in PA, she picks up 30 delegates, so your math is a little fuzzy right now.

Pelosi should have remained neutral and quiet.

========================================
Obama stopped re-vote in Fl & MI!
Obama got $250000 Rezko got jail!
Obama and Pelosi fixed the nomination!!
========================================
mg2: instead of lecturing other bloggers if you got something sensational to add, please do so….
Hillary-Edwards ’08

mg2. I have a life thanks, and part of that life is in support of Mrs. Clinton. Let’s not talk about liars, because Obama can run with the best. All politicians lie. So what was your sad little point again?

Thank you Deb,
O= Oh My God
B= But does he have a plan?
A= Ah, I don’t think so.
M= Maybe he can copy Hillary
A= Already done that.
======================================
Trivia ?:
Which presidential candidate is still green behind the ears?
======================================

Pelosi says: “If the votes of the superdelegates overturn what’s happened in the elections, it would be harmful to the Democratic Party.” …..
Well, dear, if Florida and Michigan are not counted that will also be harmful to the party. Disenfranchising the greater majority with those ‘caucuses’ was harmful to our party. Not having a ‘winner take all’ approach to the primaries was harmful to our party. Sen. Obama belonging to a separatist church, embracing his racist minister, labeling us ‘typical white people’, will harm him in the general election which will be harmful to our party. And you telling the superdelegates how to vote is harmful to our party.

========================================
Obama stopped re-vote in Fl & MI!
Obama got $250000 Rezko got jail!
Obama and Pelosi fixed the nomination!!
========================================
Commander Guy: You have been trying to stick the fork for about a month now….looks like you cant get it done just like Obama….oops
Hillary-Edwards ’08

roflmas westcoast!! I needed a good laugh-oh the answer once agian is, as one of my friends says, Obambi!

Jay
The point is that Hillary would rather destroy the party than lose the nomination. She started this course by coming up with the “kitchen sink strategy” when she realized she can’t win the old fashioned way- by getting the most votes.
Look, you’re obviously not even worth engaging. I saw your other pathetic posts on here… diagnosis: NO LIFE.

Marie I think it is Obama who is bamboozling and hoodwinking…..

Mg2: Diagnosis: Overdosed on Obama Kool-aid. Time of death…never. Status Walking dead Obama Zombie.

I don’t see anything wrong with what Pelosi said. If anything these so-called fat cats are overreacting. It seems like they are flexing their muscle to coerce Pelosi into supporting one candidate over another.

If a Clinton is interested in running the country, blackmailing powerful people and institutions in our democracy is never far off.
This is what you get when you let fat capitalists invest millions in your political career. That is what we call sowing political corruption in to order to reap power.
And no shame whatsoever! So I suppose it’s Clinton time again, for everyone to see, but luckily that time is running out fast.
Do Clinton’s blue collar workers get what’s going on here? They might think twice if they did.

A few “trivia” questions for WestcoastMessenger, who seems to enjoy them:
Who proposed, one year and two days before Clinton, a commission to deal with the then looming, now horrific, home foreclosure crisis?
Who stood up to an issue regarding a pastor, but did not condone a spouse for desecrating the Oval Office with both an act of infidelity and a follow-up lie under oath.
Who has dealt with allegations regarding Rezko, but has clean hands regarding Peter Paul?
Who is willing to work with both allies and commanders on the ground to bring our troops home in a reasonable time frame, and not require an irresponsible 6 month withdrawal without consultation of the military?
Who has consistently opposed NAFTA, but then got fingered unfairly for the indiscretions of an opponent’s campaign?
Who has released tax records and earmark requests, while the opponent makes excuses?
Who has an unsurmountable lead in pledged delegates, and even with potential losses in some states will still come out ahead?
The answer is Barack Obama.

Marie: I will give you a pass since you are for McCain. But just this once.
Although I will ask you, why should Hillary get out of the race right now?
She has a chance to go ahead in the popular vote and catch up to within 50 delegates of Obama if she stays in this until all the states vote. That would be just plain silly to drop out now.

Hillary will be standing tall after Pa-of course obambi will have all his republicans switching to vote for him because they know he can be swiftboated away on their tsunami in the fall-if he makes it that far..

Clintons think that they can fool Americans again. Its revolting to see the most corrupt couple in entire American history going around shamelessly asking for nomination. They should go into hiding, instead, they strut around as if the Dems owe her the nomination. How dare she? McCain will thrash the bitch. Just waiting for the november election…she may fool the Dems who are like slaves to the clintons, but not the American public. Why is she hiding her tax returns? Who are the Bill Clinton donors? Why is so much money flowing from middle east into her campaign? Who are linked to her secret society? All this will come out soon.

The reason one goes to a church is to have your beliefs substantiated. Therefore, Obama went to Wright’s church because it made him feel good. NOT A GOOD THING TO MILLIONS OF VOTERS IN THOSE TEN STATES!

Gee Mal, I thing she is still 35 super delegates ahead. So that is not accurate, plus she can come very close, especially after the newest Obama scandal. Remember the name Emil Jones. If she can win a majority of the votes and 8 of the last 10 states, she has a great case against Obama being totally unelectable in the general. Let’s see how this plays out.

Jay,
you’re sad. Ha ha, Obama cool aid. whatever. You wouldn’t say it to my face, son, that is guaranteed. So you have to grow up and come up with something better than that.
Can you come up with a cogent argument to refute Hillary’s single-handed transformation of the race into a nasty, Clinton-style mud fight? Of course not. It’s a widely accepted fact. She’d rather destroy the party that lose the job she feels is owed to her after waiting in the wings for 35 years of Bill’s career. Nepotism, greed, deceit. That’s ok for shakespeare, not politics.
I supposed you believed her when she said George Bush “tricked her” into voting for War. That’s a good one. George Bush couldn’t trick a monkey out of his banana, but he fooled Hillary on the biggest foreign policy question in a generation. Is that what you call passing the “commander in chief test”?

Another “trivial” fact: Obama was FOR a revote in FL and MI. He just wanted it to be legally legitimate. It would have helped his delegate count had it happened.

mg2, yeah buddy, I would say it exactly to you face. I am a really big guy, but I am not an internet bully like you. Let’s see 72 other Senators got fooled by Bush too, including John Kerry and Rockefeller. You know those guys that support Obama? Need I say more?
Politics is a very dirty contact sport. I was born and raised in Chicago, and Obama is as dirty as they come. Hillary is just a little tougher.

I can’t in good conscience vote for a habitual liar. I mean, look at hillary’s career. It’s one scandal after another. Do we really need that for another 8 years? The whole 10,000% cattle futures profit is downright creepy. The woman is a drag.
At least with McCain and Obama I trust what they are saying.

Once again, for those who read as well as post:
Who proposed, one year and two days before Clinton, a commission to deal with the then looming, now horrific, home foreclosure crisis?
Who stood up to an issue regarding a pastor, but did not condone a spouse for desecrating the Oval Office with both an act of infidelity and a follow-up lie under oath.
Who has dealt with allegations regarding Rezko, but has clean hands regarding Peter Paul?
Who is willing to work with both allies and commanders on the ground to bring our troops home in a reasonable time frame, and not require an irresponsible 6 month withdrawal without consultation of the military?
Who has consistently opposed NAFTA, but then got fingered unfairly for the indiscretions of an opponent’s campaign?
Who has released tax records and earmark requests, while the opponent makes excuses?
Who has an unsurmountable lead in pledged delegates, and even with potential losses in some states will still come out ahead?
The answer is Barack Obama.

tax returns have less info in them than people think-if there was something it would already be out there-keep dreaming about those returns…

This is the fundamental problem with Clinton supporters; they feel the rules don’t apply to Hillary.
Michigan and Florida chose to break the rules of the Party for their own self-aggrandizement and deserve the punishment they knew was forthcoming.
Let’s join together to move this country forward, and not backward into the divisive and hateful politics of the Bush/Clinton past.

I’m tired of the Bush administration treating us all like mindless puppets. McCain is more of the same. Clinton and Obama have somewhat similar policies, but Obama has better clarity and vision. He is also the better candidate to beat McCain, who as lost track of Sunnis and Shiites.

I can’t in good conscience vote for a habitual liar. I mean, look at hillary’s career. It’s one scandal after another. Do we really need that for another 8 years? The whole 10,000% cattle futures profit is downright creepy. The woman is a drag.
At least with McCain and Obama I trust what they are saying.

MattOhio or WCM — Do you guys know anything about the Woods Foundation? What’s that about?

Cheaters lose in the long run. Con artists are usually found out when their time comes. Bullies run out of leverage sooner or later. In Chicago, we were taught to punch a bully in the nose and he’ll leave you alone. But in this campaign, we’ve watched the Clinton camp use all types of tactics to increase their leverage in trying to pry the Nomination from Obama. Obama hasn’t punched the Clinton’s in the nose yet, but the voters have, and Pelosi knows it. And she has the good sense not to get punched in the nose by the Amercian voter. She also has the wherewithal not to draw her party into a losing battle with the American public, no matter how aggressive or menacing Clinton’s bullies think they are. There’s too much at stake for the Democratic Party to sink because some bullies feel entitled to take what they want.

Hey, “Marie,” you are a liar! You definitely are not someone who just changed their mind. You are a shill for Obama nothing more. You are the nastiest person I have met on the list. But then you have the love, the understanding, the man with a vision, after all, aimed at conciliation. How very perfect

The fight between Hillary and Obama sigifies more than a mere presidential contest. This bitter fight will determine the character and future of the Democratic Party. If Bill and Hillary win we remain an ill-defined, weak, limp-wristed (like out present congress) corporatist “republican light.” If Obama wins we break free of the Clinton/Reid/DLC compromises and become progressive.

Bill: well said. Obama is the only chance that Democrats have.

How many antisemites are directly or indirectly related with the Obama campaign? Relationships like these that keep popping up are really starting to worry me.

Isn’t threatening the Speaker of the
House a federal offense?
Isn’t it time for Hillary Clinton and her Obnoxious Husband to be shown the
Door!
You Can’t win the Nomination without
stealing it! But then again I guess that’s ok for the Clintons and their
supporters!
Talk about disenfanchising voters!
Obama has the most votes, delegates, and
has won the most states!
Case Closed! Get Lost Bill and Hillary!

LOM it is a regulated international monetary system. In ’71< Ithink that was the year, it was reformatted-now it is the world bank and the international monetary fund

“I will vote down Obama no matter what.”
LOL
The Caesar complex?

I just saw that Obama is related to Bush. We don’t want a Bush third term.

Pelosi should be warned. She should show her leadership. If superdelegates follows the voters, then are they super?
She should know that Ted Kennedy, John Kerry and Bill Richardson already turned over the voters view in their states.
If she can not ask Kennedy, Kerry and Richardson to change their votes, then she can not force other superdelegates to vote as she wants. They should have independent view.
The superdelegate should nominate the one who they think is the strongest nominee in their party regradless of what voters did.
Because some voters are misled.
Pelosi, you may pay price later by saying things showing you are afraid. You should lead the voters, not follow the voters.

6 MORE reasons why Dems should avoid Hillary:
1. If you are AGAINST Lowering taxes for middle class families.
2. If you are AGAINST a health plan that covers all Americans and improves health care by lowering costs and improving quality.
3. If you are AGAINST recruiting and retaining thousands more outstanding teachers and principals, especially in urban and rural areas.
4. If you are AGAINST creating global coalitions to tackle global problems like climate change, poverty, AIDS, and terrorism.
5. If you are AGAINST comprehensive immigration reform that respects our immigrant heritage and honors the rule of law.
6. If you are AGAINST transforming our economy from carbon-based to clean and energy efficient.
YES, if you are against resolving many of the major issues afflicting our country today, you should definitely avoid voting for Hillary.

Jay: Do your math again. The Clintons need 64.2% of the remaining pledged delegates to even catch Obama. She is nowhere near that number in PA, and will fare worse in most other states.
Had she had the best interest of her party in mind, she would have gracefully bowed out long ago.

I don’t agree Mal, I did the math, she doesn’t have to over take him, she just need to close the gap to under 100 or better yet 50 delegates. Her getting out a long time ago would be a perfect world for Mr. Obama, long before he could be vetted or tied to a racist pastor or Rezko, but the reality is, it will end at the floor of the convention. We both know that.

LOM,
that’s not Hillary, that’s the general Democratic agenda for America. Hillary the divider however will not be able to get these issues tackled, just as she has alienated even Democrats from universal health care in the past. The majority does not trust her, and that’s a BIG problem for gettings things done in Washington.

Hey Hurt,
No matter what? It’s a wonder you will be able to find the polling booth considering how far up your butt your head is.
And Obama stands for……..?
I suppose his 20+ years under the reverand + 3 FULL years in the senate, qualifys him to be the President. Oh yeah, his time in Chicago has made him a seasoned “politician” as well. Hmmmmmm

Kurt — Then you have effectively proven once again (settle down now Obama supporters) that Hillary *must* be the biggest LIAR on Earth because those are a handful of things she wants to address and has a roadmap to start tackling those issues.
And when was the last time anything “really” got done in Washington? I see congress is doing a great job and enjoying an approval rating less than the President (which I never thought possible).

Marie,
The fact is I do not support Hillary or Obama, I support McCain, even though he has a liberal steak in him. I am concerned with McCains immigration stance and his economic experience but I think he has a great deal to offer over all.
Unfortunatly it appears you can’t read or you would have picked up on that.
My beef is with people like you spouting things out as if they are facts, just as you did. It doesn’t help the conservative cause, it just hurts us.
Get back to your “fact making machine” and leave this up to adults. This is big people talk….

dave, you forgot to add that millions of dollars are coming from middle-east donors into hillary campaign. Who are these smugglers helping her and his foundation? Americans need to know the truth. CLINTONS ARE CORRUPT, WHY ARE THEY HIDING THEIR TAX RETURNS, HIDING THEIR DONORS LIST, HIDING THEIR MIDDLE-EAST BROKERS?

haviland smith writes:
“Could it be that Pelosi wants the vice-presidential slot in an Obama administration, a factor that would explain her tainted viewpoints and tilt toward Obama and his pledged delegates?”

Superdelegates are supposed to make their best judgment as to who the nominee should be. That’s why they are superdelegates and not in the same category as delegates. They are not “elected” delegates by a state primary or caucus. Let superdelegates be superdelegates. Perhaps the Democratic party needs to change the rules but that is not how it is now. I am against open primaries and caucuses. I believe a closed primary for registered Democrats is what the party should institute. However for this election it is what is. Hillary Clinton has every right to fight on for the nomination. That’s what we, her supporters, want her to do. We will never believe or agree that simply because Obama and his supporters keep insisting what superdelegates must do that it makes it so. Obama does not have an inherent right to the nomination without the required number of delegates. We will not be Obamatized; we will not fall for your tactics; we will not allow you to shut down the nomination process.

Just proves what I’ve said about Clinton , that she’s a corporate and lobby loving Republicrat . Look who her contributors are . Lets not forget about her ” lobbyists are people too ” in regards to taking special interest and lobby money . She is a fraud and a liar , part of the entrenched corrupt system . Just one problem for these fat cat Clintonite donors now , the Dem party is not so dependent on them , Obama has out raised them all ,small individual contributers giving 150 dollars or less .Tell em to shove it Pelosi !

Furthermore, Pelosi’s responsibility is to the well being of the democratic Party. Yes, Hillary is correct about the roles of the Super Delegates but Pelosi is also right about what it would do to the party if they overturned the will of the voters. The party is already fractured and it could get worse unless this fight ends immediately. Clinton does not care if she destroys the Party. Her own ambitions come first. Is this really what we want in a President?

Good thing the donors scolded Pelosi’s bias mouth. She should not make a prejudgment call to the superdelegates because the rule is they can vote whoever they want regardless of the primary results. That is the purpose of their job.. to discern who will be the best to beat McCain. Judging from the past events and opinion surveys, Obama is failing and can never win. He won only the early part because the Wright factor has not been released to the public by the media. Humans have fear, prejudice, and preferences and these have played an important role in their votes. Obama has fallen from their preference except the die hard Obama supporters ( I guess they are now thinking ) On the other hand, Pelosi is not helping the democrats, she should not be Speaker of the House. She does not deserve that respect when she went to see the Dai Lama at the expense of China.. that is hurting the US-china relations, the fact she is the head of the House of the Representatives.

Pelosi is one of the many reasons why i am thinking of giving another party a try. As a house speaker she should behave like a neutral leader not try to push down our throats Obama. Pelosi we are not dumb we know who you support. If you are a experienced house speaker and a party leader then you should know the rules that apply to the superdelegates. So please shut the hell up and let the process take place by the rules, not by how you feel or think it should be. No one has made you Queen so get down from the throne.

In a true democracy the will of the people should prevail. Hillary would be singing a different song if she were ahead in popular vote, contests won, and pledged delegates. Throughout this primary she has changed the goal posts in her desperate effort to win. She will destroy anything that gets in the way of her quest for power.
Newsweek hit the nail on the head with ‘…the Clintons approach power the way hard-core gun owners approach a weapon—they’ll give it up only when it’s wrenched from their cold, dead fingers.’
Bill Clinton blatantly lied to the nation and was impeached. He has zero credibility. He has been a good tutor to Hillary.

Pelosi does not understand the rules. It seems she exhibited questionable judgment and caused grievous harm to the party. May be it is time Steny Hoyer and other leaders step up and relieve her of the burden of the Office of the Speaker of the House.
Also, the democratic party by refusing to give Florida and Michigan the chance to weigh in is saying that they don’t need their votes. Florida and Michigan should respect the DNC and Obama camp’s message and should not give any votes in the General Election.
Of course, those of us who are Clinton supporters will vote for McCain if Obama is the nominee for the disrespect Obama’s camp had shown towards President Clinton and Senator Clinton.
My request to Clinton supporters, please vote for McCain if Obama is the nominee. If McCain wins, Hillary can run again 2012.
If Obama can throw his grand mother under the bus, he deserves no less.

Let me explain this fact to every one.
If Hillary gets the support of 2024 delegates, she will be the nominee.
The super delegates don’t vote en masse because Pelosi said so. The democratic members of the House elected Steny Hoyer when Pelosi wanted Murth to be the majority leader even after she issued threats of having no place on important committees. So, Pelosi would be lucky if she gets to be speaker after November.
If average folks like you and me can exercise independent judgment, so will the Super Delegates.
It is clear Teddy Kennedy, John Kerry and Bill Judas Richardson don’t give a fig leaf to how voters voted. So, the rest of the Super Delegates should exercise their independent judgment.
Of course, every super delegate’s political life will take a turn. There will be primary challenges or general election opponents will tar them with helping 9/11 terrorist attack supporters
by supporting Obama. Of course, courtesy Rev. Wright, they get to add lot of good video content.
This is the time to take down Pelosi, Kennedy and Judas Richardson. I will vote for Mitt Romney against Teddy Kennedy.

“She does not deserve that respect when she went to see the Dai Lama at the expense of China.. that is hurting the US-china relations, the fact she is the head of the House of the Representatives.”
Pelosi is famous for going out on a limb and visiting dangerous leaders without pre-qualifying..So China paid her way? She is walking on shaky ground. Her constituents in CA are watching and I wouldn’t doubt if they unseat her.
She’s lazy too. Google her on You Tube and you will get an eye full.
On another note; she always looks like she is on drugs. No offense but that’s what it looks like to me. Of course what do you expect. Her constituents are from the tenderloin in San Francisco. (‘kidding but close to it).
CA is watching and not liking what they see.

She just writes it as it comes. What a way to run a country. This woman needs to go home. She said they will decide the election prior to the convention. This is
the Democratic party at its finest folks.
Write off states and take the election process over.

Clinton has been caught telling a lie so flagrant, so self-serving and so unnecessary that it takes your breath away

A poll says 28% Clinton voters will not vote for Obama if he is the nominee. The pundits say, may be, they will fall in line by November.
Fall in line by November? I will keep voting for the Republican party until the republicans nominate their own Obama.
Chris Matthews will feel one huge tingle go up his leg when he finds out his heart throb Obama will not be president.
Obama, No you can’t.

Those guys thought they were talking to one of Hillary’s, she & Bill praises about them, uneducated voters who are blind about the Clinton scandals.
Pelosi is educated and knows they are threatening the party.
Clintons can’t fight their own fights. They lost so lets strong arm the party.
Clinton & Obama brings in more money than those clowns. What morons!
Good for you Pelosi, stand up to those idiots!!!!!!!! Hillary is just two percentage points away from GWB in popularity. Bill ruined his legacy.
McCain 08?

Come to think of it, now even women have a net unfavorable rating of Hillary, wow, world of hurt…

Who said those people were lobbiest? They were a small group of people from a blog like this who had written the letter to Pelosi. They’d been donating to the DNC for years. Don’t forget that The bulk of Hillary supporters are downline Democrats and not cross overs.
They are people who have been with the Democrat party for years upon years and they feel very slighted. They are frustrated so they have to do what they have to do. Democrat is not just a “party’ but a whole concept and way of life and when this election touts behavior unlike a true Dem then the downline begins to gets retaliatory. The downline have been feeling very hurt over this election. When the election is over they will be faced with feeling disenfranchised and upstaged by cross overs. Now this may not make sense unless you have an idea of what personal identity there is in being a downline Dem. There is lots of pride at stake. Also, the Democratic candidate is not being chosen by Democrats in this election and that may be the underlying resentment in the race. You can understand if the Dems ganged up and voted for the next Republican nominee.
It is hardly reefected of the true voice of the Republican party and what it stands for.
It’s deep but I gave it a shot at explaining. It’s not easy.

I’d say this is pretty simple.
1. Bush lost the popular vote to Al Gore – democrats always considered him an illegitimate president.
2. Republicans got a bit too smug after a long period in power, and lost big time in the 2006 elections.
If the superdelegates decide to overrule voters – we will be back to square one – an illegitimate candidate, and a majority party that has gotten a bit too smug a bit too quickly.
If Hillary wants the nomination, she better win it fairly – by winning the popular vote. If she doesnt get the popular vote, the gracious thing to do would be to withdraw before forcing the superdelegates to choose.

Americans,
If you elect John McCain for president, please spare the rest of the world your whining when the body bags continue to come home from Iraq, the number of foreclosures continues to rise, and joblessness and homelessness continue to grow. John McCain has already made it clear that the war in Iraq will be his priority. Bush made it clear the war in Iraq would be his priority, yet you re-elected him. Now you are whining about his lack of attention to domestic issues. Fools!

yes, yes, yes – The truly sad thing about your comment is that once the democratic insiders choose their pre-annointed and media pushed choice (Obama), the democrats will then proceed to lose a general election that should have been a no-brainer. Sad, Sad, Sad.

Bunny, a long and bloody battle will not help democrats in November to win the White House. There is a clear choice here to make. Superdelegates will make a decision and select the nominee and give him/her the opportunity to fight against McCain. Or the fighht will go on until the convention and a weak nominee will come out but will face a strong McCain and lose. The choise is between a democrat in the WH or a 3rd term WBush. God bless America and God bless Obama. OBAMA08.

Jay: You are so right. I will be glad when Nancy Pelosi gets herself out of being house speaker. Howard Dean should never have been voted chairman. I never liked him or Nancy. I am aware of the fact they are supporting Obama that’s why Dean does not want to seat the MI and FL delegates because Hillary would catch up to Obama. If the superdelegates for Hillary are smart they would hold up the nomination until Michigan and Florida delegates are seated. New Hampshire changed their primary date and was not penalized. That was because Dean thought Obama was going to win that state, but he lost. There has been a lot of trouble in this election ever since Obama ran for the presidency. He has copied all his speeches from MLK, JFK and used the word hope from RFK because I read RFK’s speech on the internat. This last speech he made was created by a woman who helped him and that was also on the internet. He cannot do anything for himself without the help of others. How then could he ever run this country. And it has not come out yet but I understand that Bill Richardson also had an affair with another woman. And Bill Richardson is looking for a VP job that’s why he endorsed Obama. But he may get fooled, Hillary could still win that nomination.

Thinking: What have you been drinking? Obama is running for president just to make history. He wouldn’t know what to do on day one. He is as helpless and a two year old. For graduating college he is as dumb as they come. The only thing he is smart at is using other’s speeches and hiding the fact that he is racial like his racist crazy pastor. And it is the white people of today that are sucker enough to vote him in office. But I hope those 20 millionaires that are superdelegates put a stop on it so he cannot get the nomination.

To Grow Up – I totally, totally agree with you. Voting for McCain if your candidate doesn’t win is like a child sticking out his/her tongue and saying “I’m not gonna be your friend anymore.” Really silly stuff. Revenge voting will only hurt you people in the end. This voting process is serious stuff and the future of our country depends on who winds up in the White House. Either democrat will be infinitely better than McCain. If your candidate doesn’t get the nomination swallow your pride and disappointment (and anger) and be a grownup about this. This goes for both Obama supporters and Hillary supporters. WE NEED TO GET A DEMOCRAT, EITHER ONE, ELECTED.

Believe or not, when someone called from the DCCC to ask for my donation, I said basically the same thing. I’m closing my wallet to DCCC as long as Pelosi is showing such blatant bias against Hillary’s campaign. It is unnecessary for her to say such stupid things, including her comments about no dream ticket. This women should keep her mouth shut and let the people decide.
I live in FL and will withdraw my support as a Democrat.
McCain … You have a new voter! Me.

Obama lied on an issue that effects many
His own words was Wright sets his moral Compass.
Read chapter 15 of Dreams of my father.
Obama knew this man was an issue for years… I voted for him but I will no longer .
PelosI needs to listen and Read his book!!!!
If this man is his moral compass that is what Obama called him in the Chicaho paper Interview you can read it yourself, just like the book!!! Now a Clinton supporter

Polls conducted nationally by Gallup, Quinnipiac University, and AOL show Hillary Clinton leading by an average margin of 15 points nationally. According to Gallup, this marks the sixth consecutive day of Gallup Poll Daily tracking showing Clinton with a statistically significant lead over Obama, something she had not accomplished since Feb. 7-9 polling. Clinton’s recent momentum has coincided with the controversy created by Obama’s association with the anti-US and racially charge sermons conducted by his long-time advisor, Rev. Jeremiah Wright. See the latest Gallup, Quinnipiac University and AOL poll results. Read about the nationwide Momentum Shift.

I think Obama’s Achilles heel has been exposed and it’s not clear to me that he’d do the ticket more good than harm. I used to agree that a unity ticket would be overwhelming, but now I think she might be better off on her own. With him in the lead slot, with or without her, he’s sunk.

Blackmailing Pelosi is just one of the ‘hardings’ options,may God help us.

James Danley (8:30 am post), I’ve never heard it put so well. Your observations are very well-made. If more would look at the situation as objectively as you have, we’d all be better off.

The clintons are comfirmed liars,no way for them this time no matter the option,incuding tanya harding option.

Willaim**** I’m a teacher from Louisiana. NO ONE pays me to speak the TRUTH about Obama.
In your suggestion that only paid people (on the internet) support CLinton–I just wanted to clarify that!!!!

The donors have the right to spend their donation money, and use whatever influence that derives from that money, as they see fit. And there’s nothing Whether it was wise to send an open letter to Pelosi pointing out that fact is another question. As far as “donor and sponsor politics,” please dont be so naive as to think it it is only the Clinton campaign that cajoles and twists arms to advance its political gains. We’ve already heard about the Obama campaign’s heavy-handed pressure tactics to swing superdelegates to their side. Fair game, and both sides are playing it.

What gallup poll are you looking at???
The gallup poll has Obama up by 2 (tie). Last week Hillary was up by 7. SHE HAS LOST THAT LEAD.
Hillary now has a positive rating of 37, down 8 points from 2 weeks ago.
Obama went down 2. 49 from 51 two weeks ago (Rev. Wright controversy didn’t hurt him much).
I was reading the New York Post and SDs are really questioning Hillary because of her Bosnia story.
She also has Military people speaking against her.
Seems to me, Hillary has REALLY shot herself in the leg this time.

I don’t believe Kerry and Kennedy will support Hillary due to the fact that Kerry is bitter over the fact that he lost the election to Bush. Kennedy doesn’t want Hillary to become president because he knows he can get his bills passed thru Obama. Richardson wants to be a VP that’s why he endorsed Obama but I think Obama is going to pick Patrick because he is black. Obama is not fooling me, he is racial like his pastor but does a good job of hiding it from the white people. I cannot understand why the whites would not vote for their own race as the blacks vote for theirs. Do we want a president in the white house whose pastor is a racist against this country. I don’t think so. Obama and Michelle love this country? Give me a break. Michelle is as racial as he is.

“You suggested [in a recent television interview] superdelegates have an obligation to support the candidate who leads in the pledged delegate count as of June 3rd, whether that lead be by 500 delegates or 2,” the Clinton backers wrote. “This is an untenable position that runs counter to the party”s intent in establishing super-delegates in 1984.”
I think Nancy has got this right, for a change, after all isn”t each delegate a superdelegate? What the Clinton campaign has been trying to do all along is to shut his race down & play the race card whenever it is convenient for Hillary – The Great White Hope Myth – that they”ve been playing all along.So sad!
Jusst who are Hillary’t major campaign donators. Just where is Hillary’s income tax filings for 2007.
It doesn’t sing & dance – but MONEY TALKS. So Sad!

Obama’s hands are not clean either — Obama Camp Tries to Sway Hillary’s Pledged Delagates
———-
If the superdelegates are supposed to vote the will of the people then Gov. Richardson, Sen. Kerry, Sen. Kennedy, etc.. will have to change their support for Hillary Clinton.
It just seems that Nancy and Obama want to state the rules when it suits them but not actually have to follow them in all cases. what good are the DNC rules if the superdelegates ignore them anyway? Superdelegates are already overriding the will of the voters–that’s the big issue. Obama is encouraging it just as much as Clinton is doing. In fact, Obama may be doing more of it given the link to the article above. it explains how he is converting pledged delegates over to him…wonder what the rules say about that?

Callin all Clintonites, Clintonians, and Clintonistas, for heaven’s sake stop with the divisive crap already. If in your heart-of-heart you are a Democrat then please plead with your candidate to cease these vicious attacks against the party’s front-runner. This protracted effort to destroy Barack Obama’s standing in the eyes of the American people is back-firing on Hillary, in particular, and the Clinton legacy overall. Why would a Democrat praise a Republican rival over a fellow Democrat? My simplistic answer would be that the praiser is a poser, and a Republican shill.

Mercy mercy me. What is wrong with Pelosi, Dean and Reid? Are they trying to give our country away? I’m just full of questions today. Are all of you so afraid that Hillary can run the country in a manner to restore prosperity and safety that you will hold your resentment for her and sell our nation short? Did she lick the red off your candy at some point and time? If so, ask yourself how mature am I. Do you think you can contol Obama easier? What if, just what if he is part of Louis Farakan, Tony R., Jeremiah Wright and whoever else clan. Little scarrie for me. Don’t forget Kerrie and Kennedy. The only thing amusing about all of this is they will have to cast their vote for Hillary. Oh my!!

Pelosi NEVER said the super-delegates cannot vote as they wish; she knows the rules. She simply said if they go against the will of the voting public it will harm the Democratic party.
She is right; if they go against the will of the voting public (whether it’s Clinton or Obama), it will harm the Democratic party.

Mrs. Polosi`s remarks should remind everyone of the socialist/communist tendencies of entire Deomocrat Party

May we see what’s in the Clinton Tax Returns?
Pray tell us where the source of the$5,000,000 campaign!
How about opening the books for the American people to see who donated to the Clinton “Fort Knox” Library in Arkansas.
Why is our once esteemed ex-president taking graft from the oil-rich Muslims?
Pray tell us why is it so important for Hillary to become the Democratic nominee when by all indications are that the Republicans will mop the floors with her come the general election.
Seems like they just love being on the inside with the rich and powerful.

Obama Zombies?
Why you snarky Hillarious Hairy blighter.
They must have a minnion of you, paid or otherwise, name-callers lined up to swamp the Internet with your hilarious blather.

What so many people ignore is that caucus voters are not equivalent to primary voters. Primary voters are not equivalent to November voters, but are much closer to them – in states that voted, rather than caucused, Hillary has won, and she has won the states that are the bellweather states for Dems to win in November.
It’s suicide to deny superdelegates the right to be a rudder – that’s what they were designed to do!

If McCain is presidential material why is it that he appears to be on the wrong side of every issue. Or could it be that he’s just another turtured soul in search of redemption, and being president will automatically pull everything together for him. Back in 2000, Rove cast him as a man on the edge, driven there by torture in Vietnam. The Bush team also push-polled him in the Carolinas as the father of a black child. He himself cast the religious right as “agents of intolerance” during the primaries of 2000. Yet this make believe straight shooter demeaned himself by seeking out the approval of his political enemies, this time around, on his way to the party’s nomination.
This guy is an opportunistic liar and a fraud.
Remember the Keating five? He’s one of the five, engaged in the swindle of the savings and loans scanddal of the 80′s.
Just recently he has been praised by the French for effectively handing over a lucrative $40 Billion contract to Airbus Industries to build tanker planes for our military, rather than to keep these jobs here at home with a contract with Boeing.

Geezz Mattohio: wake-up!! that’s nothing!!
are you one of the Fat cats?
I don’t think so!!
so just google “clintons” then you know realy about the clintons.
After seven years of Bush/Cheney violations of treaties and international law, of trashing the Constitution, of defying Congressional subpoenas, and of nullifying acts of Congress with signing statements, it is not likely that the American public will have much stomach for another President that regards ,Hillary, herself as unbound by rules or, by implication, by laws.
Bill Clinton lied before a grand jury.
Hlliary Clinton lied in front of hundreds of supporters and journalists on the campaign trail. She lied not once, twice….
Hillary’s attitude is “it must be me, or nobody!”
Hillary and Bill Clinton are for the wholesale market of manipulation and swindling.
After “35 years of experience” Hillary has learned:
Audience manipulation, her twisting of events, the tale’s swindling core.
Bush-Clinton-Bush-Clinton? No, NO, NO.
Bush and Clinton ear are done in 2008!!!
Go Nancy!! don’t back down!!

Haven’t you seen the interview of college students where Hillary held her
initial campaign speeches and qa sessions?
Students told news reporters that Hillary’s campaign staff gave
pre-printed questions to ask Hillary during the q/a session, and the
unsuspecting students fell for it. I am not making this up.
Now Hillary “sniper-fire” Clinton might be trying to change the subject
from her Bosnia lies. She is trying to get the sympathy votes.
Hillary and her camp is trying to divert attention from her sniper-fire
Bosnian trip.
She is a liar.
No liars for president.
No crooks for president.
No more pity votes.
No more sympathy votes.
Release your tax return.
Let us see your land dealings.
Let us see your sources of income.
Let us see whom you paid to murder Vince Forster.

John McCain is a straight talking con man; just check the records of his involvement with the Keating Five. Right now he’s sitting on a mountain of documents, pertaining to the Abramoff scandal, which would end the careers of a lot of powerful people. Perhaps sitting on the lid of this potential cauldron is what has enabled him to win the nomination of his party.

Six of one, half a dozen of the other. McCaine is the next prez; a pick that neither party can be happy with.

If Obama gets nominated, I’ll vote for McCain, period. I won’t vote for Ralph Nader as a protesting vote. I’ll vote for whoever having chance to beat this liar Obama. And the bigger margin, the better. I’d love to see these morons humiliated for giving away the easy victory by supporting this unelectable candidate.
4 or 8 years of Republicans in White House? Fine, let this country go to hell before we clean up these power hungry Democratic politicians: Pelosi, Kerry, Kennedy. Let them suffer with us. Let those no-brain Obama supporters suffer financially for years to come.
Then we can find another person to fix this country after Obama “fixes our soul” as his wife promised.

If Pelosi were truly neutral as she has claimed she would have kept her mouth shut. I am glad she is being called on her blatant support of Obama. She is supposed to support the party not a particular candidate. And for all the people whining about how Hillary is attacking Obama and ruining his chances, the vast majority of the heat has been coming from the right wing and they are just getting warmed up. They are showing Obama for the weak candidate that he is. I hope the super’s are paying attention.

At It Again! According to ABCNews, in a January 2008 speech at the University of South Carolina, Michelle Obama made more anti-American remarks which are making the rounds on the Internet today. Talking about her experience at Princeton where she hung with a largely African-American crowd, she said, “We don’t like being pushed outside of our comfort zones. You know it right here on this campus. You know people sitting at different tables – you all living in different dorms. I was there. You’re not talking to each other, taking advantage that you’re in this diverse community.”
Michelle Obama went on to say “Because sometimes it’s easier to hold on to your own stereotypes and misconceptions. It makes you feel justified in your own ignorance. That’s America! So the challenge for us is are we ready for change?” I’m sure we all know what she’s talking about when she reflects on the comfort many of us feel with those of our specific cultural or ethnic groups. Listen our future First Lady calling American people ignorant. Listen:
She wants to be the First Lady?

Chabuka,
Al Gore won the 2000 election.
Besides, are you saying that Hillary should not have run because Al Gore was running for presidet?
How crazy is that comment?
