January 25th, 2008 8 Comments

Now Sen. Clinton is trying to reinstate the delegates for the Michigan and Florida contests, in direct contest to the national party’s position. Why God, why?

    Because The Clintons are more important than the Democratic Party, the United States, African Americans, or anything.

    I’ve voted Democrat my whole life, including for Clinton twice. If Hillary is the nominee, I’m gonna sign Bloomberg’s petition, hope he gets a Dem VP nominee, and vote for him in November. I hope he uses a billion dollars to piss on them (truthfully) from a very great height, so they can’t show their faces in polite company anymore (not that shame is something they’ve shown up until now).

    If we’re going to be a banana republic like the Bushs’ and Clintons’ want, I’d rather have a technocrat billionaire in the Oval Office than these fetid liars.

    One more thing, they’re doing this not just “n direct contest to the national party’s position,” as you wrote. But they’re doing it in contravention of an agreement they signed.

    As I said elsewhere I guess marriage vows are not the only agreements that don’t mean anything to the Clintons.

    You know if Obama or Edwards had done this Bill would be hissy-fitting all over about it.

    Because as I’ve said before, the Clinton’s don’t give a shit about anything but their own interests.

    Oliver, you sound surprised. You should have learned by now that everything for the Clintons is a means to an end.

    If Clinton has enough delegates to win outright, Florida and Michigan with get back all of their delegates as a sign of unity.

    I know it upsets some people on the board, but this is politics. It’s a zero-sum, winner-take-all contest. We used to have politicians who could play in this kind of arena – blue-collar, brass knuckle types – who would have chewed Bush up and spit him out.

    Now we have bumbling academic-types who always seem to get caught flat-footed on the important issues of the day. Fuck it. I want fighters.

    If Obama or Edwards want to fight back, nobody is stopping them. Fight to win.

    “Fuck it. I want fighters.”

    That’s the main reason I think Clinton would be the best candidate come November. You can call Hillary a lot of things, but timid is not one of them. There is nothing, and I mean nothing the Republicans could throw at Hillary Clinton that should and her team wouldn’t be ready for.

    I prefer Edwards when it comes to policy, but there’s not enough of a difference between the top three for me to care.

    Damn right. It’s been awhile since we had a candidate that scared the piss out of the pantloads, now we have her.

    Look, all she said is she would ask HER delegates to request that Michigan and Florida’s delgates be seated by the National Party.

    What’s wrong with asking? Chairman Dean can say no, the campogns and states will say pretty please, everbody wins.

    Meantime, Hillary comands the news cycles for a couple days, and gets Republicans to piss their pants in fear and loathing.

    It’s a win-win, people!!

    Go, Hillary!!
