"Enjoy your Hillary-hating. The silent majority still exists."
Well, recent primaries have shown that the "majority" is not a majority, but roughly 50 %. And of those, how many would vote McCain? A VERY small number.
Take your chicken-shit threats out of here, asshole. You're no democrat. You're just a stupid jerk.
"Imagine if the DNC allowed Clinton to be the nominee if she loses of the state primaries/caucuses with superdelegates and a simple allocation of Michigan and Florida to Clinton. "
This would be terrible. FL and MI cannot be allowed to be seated as currently voted on. The votes were illegitimate.
They will be seated IF AND ONLY IF they do not determine the outcome. I see a simple solution: On a specific day (say March 15), the delegations from MI and FL will be constituted to reflect delegate proportions AT THAT TIME. That way, they will not sway the outcome, but can have an effect going forward.
"It is beyond me how the formerly beloved Clintons can be vilified by Democrats with RW talking points."
During the eight years of Bill, for every 1 good thing he did, there was at least 1 bad thing, and sometimes more. Many here have extensively listed the bad and the good, so I won't bother.
Now, Bill-Hill want a do-over. Hillary EXPLICITELY reminds people of the Clinton years. It's HER CHOICE. So, we are here to indicate what was GOOD about Clinton (either) and what was bad. We are weighing the soul of Clinton, and he/she has been found wanting.
That's the point.
"If Obama eventually lands on the ticket, Karl Rove's strategy will have succeeded, and he will use the senator's long-running relationship with indicted criminal Tony Rezco to defeat the Democrats in the fall. For more on the strategy, check out the article I've posted at thecityedition.com, which links to other sources."
You are totally confused. Obama's marginal, tangential, and totally irrelevant relationship with this guy is not gonna even come up, except when posted by Clinton supporters. Besides, McCain has the Keating thing, where he took actual money.
Please, stop posting crap. It does nothing for Hillary when her rabid supporters post the same moronic, bullshitesque lies over and over and over.
"More money, more resources and more hearings were spent investigating the Clintons on those fake partisan scandals during the 90's than was spent on the 911 commission. If that doesn't shame, embarrass and damn the GOP and the media in the eyes of history nothing will."
You are contending that the Repukeliscum will become "embarrass"ed? You cannot be serious. The 'Scum are without any possibility of embarrassment. In fact, the 'Scum theory of Public Discourse is the Goebbels theory - repeat, repeat, repeat the lie, until it becomes established wisdom. I see nothing in Repukeliscum conduct until now that suggests that they will change. They do not view these issues as vetted, but rather targets to be re-exploited.
I just read mjkoch's little piece about Hillary. While others call this "mean spirited" and "nasty", I call it "accurate" and "refreshingly candid". I know that Hillary supporters like to pretend that she is popular, blah blah blah, she is not popular. She is wildly popular with some Democratic women (20 %) and independent Democratic leaning women (10 %). She is also popular with some Democratic and independent men - I will generously give her an additional 7 % there.
There are many many many who do not like her. You can ignore this FACT or you can pretend that it is not there. Your attempt to "wish it away" will not be successful.
mjkoch has told the truth. As the little girl said, "I says it's spinach, and I says to hell with it."
"this (sic) cacus (sic) system is bunk as you exclude people who have busy lives"
Ah yes, the old lie that OBAMA SUPPORTERS DO NOT WORK. Or, put another way, "them niggers they be shiftless and chicken-stealers."
Let's cut to the chase, OK? If you want to talk about "shiftless niggers and they be chicken-stealers", just go ahead.
I'm an Obama supporter, and I have a job.
" Florida's delegates will be Hillary's as are Michigan's"
Well, if that is true, then there will be a huge fight at the convention. This is the ol' Clinton "cheat to win" thing.
Florida and Michigan delegations will be seated if and only if they give no advantage to either side. The fairest thing would be to seat delegations proportional to HRC and BHO standings at the time of the convention. They WILL NOT be allowed to produce a cheating win for either side.
"I'm honestly appalled at those here who insist that all negative feelings toward Hillary Clinton are purely sexism. The only analog I can think of to this level of intellectual dishonesty is George Bush insisting that anyone who doesn't support the Iraq war hates America."
The Hillary supporters are sensing a problem: Not everyone is as in love with Her Inevitabilityness as they are. Why is this? Sexism, of course.
There are 20-30 reasons to oppose Hillary. But mostly I oppose her because of Bill. Bill will be the eminance grise in the Hillary Admin. He will be the real power. Just like Eva Peron or Christina Kirchner, women can be placed into a position of power as a puppet for their partner.
What will Bill be doing? During his administration, he did a few OK things, and a LOT of crappy stupid things which we all are regretting. NAFTA, triangulation, free trade - these are not Democratic policies.
