Of course they will seat the delegates. Rules mean nothing these days. Let's ignore the simple fact that Michigan voters were disenfranchised in processes. Letting the political elite of the Michigan's Democratic party have a full vote at the convention is not democracy. So now they will allow the party 'leaders' who decided to break the rules to avoid the consequences;they will only be representing themselves at the convention. Whether it's the mortgage melt down, illegal immigration, or the Michigan primary the individuals who cut corners are forgiven at the expense of the people.
News Flash for you, sunshine. Hitler was never had a chance to be President of the US. However, his demon spawn, Bush, who never had a chance, stole the elections.
Groups can fall into a mob mentality, which I see being done here. It's rarely constructive...usually very destructive.
Mobs turn on the leader eventually..no matter who the leader is. Better to watch ourselves and behave in a more sane, thinking fashion.
man who was just like Obama, a big time liar and a cheat. He turned out to be a small time liar and cheat; at any rate, still a liar and cheat.
mabe you should pick you friends with a little more intelligence. I suppose you're a Bush/Cheney/McCain supporter too. You need to pick YOUR politicians with a LOT more intelligence.
Gosh now if he would just tell the DNC to give the nomination to the one who actually got the most votes we might even actually get universal health care
I'm voting for McCain just in the hope that no one in government will be able to do anything at all
That is the best you can even hope for anymore that they do nothing
...then you'd better look at the dems. McCain has ramrodded some of the hardest legislation through Congress in the last 30 years. He has spent his career going to the middle to get things done. So, if you think he will do nothing, you'd better listen to this guy, who has been walking the walk in government for the last three decades because he does not have any kind of record sitting on his ass. How anyone arrives at another conclusion is bewildering.
Oh, come on, EssPee. The only thing that McCain has ever ramrodded is his own pleasure stick.
Nobody said friend; learn to read Obama lover.
The media has done this country a terrible injustice by putting the two worst possible candidates up for the office of president. You undoubtedly will be hanging on Obama's leg every step of the way, and that's OK, a lot of gullible idiots are doing the same thing. You will realize your mistake after it's too late. McCain offers nothing, being the unmitigated ass-hole he is. Just another lying, cheap politician with a phony background and a well-heeled wife.
Think I'll do a write-in. There's no other alternative.
Obama was selected as the nominee. More people cast votes for Hillary.
She should have been the nominee - apparently, she will not be. And democrats WILL be sorry.
ABC’s Good Morning America interviewed Bill Clinton this weekend:
Q: Do you personally have any regrets about what you did campaigning for your wife?
A: [Pause, shakes head] Yes, but not the ones you say, and it would be counterproductive for me to talk about it. There are things I wish I’d urged her to do, things I wish I’d said, things I wish I hadn’t said. But I am not a racist, I never made a racist comment, and I didn’t attack him personally.
Democrats should take this as a hint that party unity will not be forthcoming, at least not beyond the superficial. Bill Clinton, at least, has not forgiven his treatment as a racial pariah during the latter part of the primary campaign, nor has his mood improved much. Neither he nor Hillary have rushed to Obama’s assistance yet, and except for the most cursory of statements of support, the Clintons have almost cloistered themselves over the last two months.
Ironically, Bill may find vindication in John McCain’s pushback on Barack Obama’s race-card play this week. McCain pounded Obama for the last several days after Obama accused McCain and Republicans for attacking him because he doesn’t “look like all those presidents on the dollar bills … and [he has] a funny name”. Even his own advisers were forced to acknowledge that Obama wasn’t talking about powdered wigs, and a majority of voters in a Rasmussen poll blamed Obama for smearing McCain.
McCain’s victory on this point should suggest a re-examination of the Bill-as-race-card-player meme of the primaries. Obama’s attack now looks like a pattern. He wants to pose as a post-racial candidate, but whenever anyone criticizes him too effectively, Obama retreats behind a my-opponents-are-racists defilade. Bill can hope that McCain’s victory and exposure of this strategy will retroactively give people a chance to reconsider their previous condemnation of his own behavior.
And the reverse is also true. Bill’s continued and impassioned defense against these charges help bolster McCain’s efforts this week. That’s why Clinton told ABC that the conversation would be “counterproductive”, but he couldn’t restrain his anger for very long in the event. The “post-racial” pose is collapsing, and it benefits both McCain and Bill Clinton.

It don't matter who the demonrat candidate is. If it was Jesus,
Son of God, Christ, he still would not be suitable for us repubs.
Lack of political experience would still be only one of the reasons.
His name sounds a bit too middle eastern, and his skin tone is too dark.
We all are going to rally around our man McCain, even if he is a RINO,
and he should be theone the libnazis choose as heir to the presidentcy.
Truth be told, you are the lowlife of this board. Liar & bigot are in your title.
You hate it that Obama can look into his stance on things and then change his mind. Your old boy cannot even remember his stance on most subjects.
'Truth be told, you are the lowlife of this board. Liar & bigot are in your title.'
You haven't been able to demonstrate either and I have proven that you are both, as well as an idiot.
'ou hate it that Obama can look into his stance on things and then change his mind.'
I hate that this lying con artist has so many willing dupes, eager to be told sweet, sweet nonsense because they want to hear it.
'Your old boy cannot even remember his stance on most subjects.'
Your child's stances change by the hour. No one can keep track of his flipflops anymore. His words simply mean nothing and since he has no record other then sleaze in Chicago. You can't elect someone on promises, especially after they have shown themselves to be a liar.
'If it was Jesus,
Son of God, Christ, he still would not be suitable for us repubs.'
The whole point, you un-clever idiot, is to not to elect someone pretending to be the messiah. Sorry if I think your pandering liar is a false prophet.
What a shame.After wading trough pages and pages of posts organized by the republican smear campaign department,outsiders are left with a vague sense of the growing insanity that seems to emanate from the republican electoral campaign .Is it a sign of dispair or a lack of belief in yout own values that you need to post these rants here ?
Probably so,I even notices some calling Obama ,Fanny Mae and freddy Mac socialists and socialist institutions .I noticed how these campigners shrunk the career of Obama to 143 days in Congress,how the military career of McCain was inflated out of proportions,how your country seem to slip into a state of media warfare that looks a lot like a civil war,a growing tendency towards a complete polarisation of the minds,in which one side lost all ability to communicate beyond lies,smear,insults .
This kind of postings puts them to shame .Let me add that even comparing Obama to Paris Hilton and Britney Spears is shaefull.There is no comparing these figures,once Obama opens his mouth only retards can't figure out the difference.
hath vaporized; dead even they now be
McCain's camp constantly taking the low road, but, hey, he's a POW!
