This is a total bullshit issue. In point of fact, this has NOTHING to do with anything but a bunch of fat drunk men/women at the Denver Convention. The question is, when the roll call comes around to determine who the party's nominee will be, will the state delegation get to vote.
Hillary and her supporters have been lying about this for months. They are manufacturing outrage here, trying to convince voters in MI/FL that they are being cheated or something. This is a lie, and is so typical of Hillary's whole approach to the situation.
If you are a MI/FL voter, you will lose nothing in November. Your vote will be counted in the election. Do not believe anything that Hillary or her supporters say. It is all lies.
If you were just offended by McGregor's insult, fine, that's your call.
If you think you need to defend ShawnM, maybe you should have read some very disgusting posts of his that were yanked to understand some of the vitriol flung his way. He's not worth defending.
"I watched the news this AM and a number of Hillary supporters in FL were outraged, just outraged at having their election result in delegates with 1/2 vote each. One woman shook her head in disbelief at the outlandish tactics of the DNC and stated something to the effect that the GOP must be laughing at us. I guess no one bothered to tell her: The GOP did the SAME THING to their delegates in FL. The state party however just went about with business as usual despite the fact that their candidates only 57 of formerly 114 votes."
Hillary is whipping this up, but hopefully the disgusting lies will diminish.
The whole issue is totally bogus. No one would even pay attention, without Hillary and her lies. She has spent a lot of time telling the voters of MI and FL how terrible the Democratic Party is. Think about that: A Democrat (?) telling the voters of a state that they cannot trust the Democratic Party. This is disgusting, and nauseating, and so very typical of Hillary and her tactics from Feb 5 on.
I imagine that Salon's editors will be removing his comments. He is suggesting that others join him at TalkLeft.com. Now the innumerate know where to go.
I don't think that many ordinary voters are manufacturing outrage. I think that Clinton surrogates and the candidate herself have created this debacle and made it a big issue in the Dem primary. Unfortunately, people can be easily manipulated when they don't understand a situation fully.
Misogyny is never justified and your inability to grasp that is telling.
Yesm Shawn will be tolerated at Talkleft if only for a brief period. Jeralyn and most on that site are fairly smart individuals even if they are pretty obtuse about Hillary's campaign tactics.
Dude! Good to see you are in your usual rare form this morning. Ha!
The Obama minions are quick to dismiss Obama's total disaster in Puerto Rico as "meaningless". He got hammered by Hispanics who prefer Hillary by more than 2 to 1. If Puerto Rico is so damned "meaningless"...why did he campaign so hard there?
I think Obama has a Hispanic problem, a white problem, a woman problem and a Reagan Democrat male problem. His surrogates, the Rev. Wright and the Rev. Pfleger, have only added insult to injury. Those YouTube videos are already being made into McCain campaign commercials. The only ones who DON'T think Obama has any problem at all are the core Obamaniacs who are, clearly, self-delusional.
Get ready for McGovern, Mondale, Dukakis, Gore and Kerry redux this year. Don't know about you, but, I'm damned sick and tired of having to get behind the party nominee each year (except Al Gore) who looks like a loser right out of the gate.
You don't get to blame his McGovern defeat on anyone else.
Nobody owed you their vote you buck-toothed moron. Nobody owes you ANYTHING. Get a job or go talk about masturbating with monkeys and sheep with your ghetto buddies , whichever you feel more at home with.
Clinton, her supporters and America doesn't owe you and your "unifying" so not racist carcass one GD thing.
FOAD.
to Obama Nation. In November at least 15% of the (now defunct) Democratic Party will say this to him:

Join them. Then Obama -- and his New Liberal Fascist supporters -- will lose the election.
Only then will Bill & Hillary be able take the party back to the center and rebuild the coalition -- in time for 2012.
Terry McAuliffe just told MSN that they were having one tomorrow night in New York. I actually like this guy because he never stops spinning. He's like the guy in "thank you for smoking". Give him this - he is the only guy in her camp other than her that earns his check.
But it looks like somone tapped the keg early for that one. Because now it is just getting silly.
So, on we go to the convention, and the demise of Hillary's career. What a shame. When the networks pull back on their coverage of her, she'll dry up like a neglected sea monkey. Has anyone ever so thoroughly misplayed a hand like this?
Please tell me you have one and are busily preparing your pottymouthed friends to go out and take over American with the Messiah of Hope and Unification.
Must be wonderful for those who voted for Obama in good faith to know that his plan to win those demographics he fares so poorly in is to hang out on the internet and blame Hillary a little more and shout racism all day and spout off profanity and trash about jerking off with monkeys.
You're so pathetic and predictable.
Alecsmom, whats the matter, you went over thee and started blathering about whitey and how everyone on earth is a racist and they locked you out, right?
Don't waste you're breath. AnaHadWolves is of the same opinion ShawnWM is. She's read tons of his posts and still defends him. They run with the same crowd (likely carrying burning torches on occasion).
Barack Hussein Obama, Barack Hussein Obama, Barack Hussein Obama, Barack Hussein Obama, Barack Hussein Obama, Barack Hussein Obama, Barack Hussein Obama, Barack Hussein Obama, Barack Hussein Obama.
Who says we can't say it or arent supposed to? It's his name, it's harmless, it will be intoned when he takes the Oath of Office as he will, and should, do.
Of course, racist retard ShawnWM seems to think "Hussein" is Obama's first rather than middle name. But what do you expect from a retard racist?
Obama's a great candidate and a great man. He will make a great candidate.
