GOP: Here's to Hillary's big party!

Nothing would delight Republicans more than for the Clintons to upstage Barack Obama at the Democratic National Convention.

    I Wish It Could Be Hillary's Big Party

    The way the undemocratic party has been running lately I hope it is Hillary's big party. Clinton delegates have been discouraged from going to Denver, harassed about going to Denver and even asked to sign a loyalty oath to Obama if they persist on going. Even the nomination and roll call vote were a huge battle to get done. Basically I don't see why the Democratic Party can't go by its own rules and stop acting like this is a big party. The idea is to nominate a candidate for the United States. Hillary Clinton is to be shut up and her supporters are to shut up for what? There is no way the Democrats can win the White House this way and shouldn't. There aren't even any principles to defend after the undemocratic things that have gone on in this election. I may watch Hillary and Bill at the convention and I probably will watch Joe Lieberman at the Republican convention but that will be my only foray into the convention world. I will then vote for Nader or Mc Cain as my conscience allows.
