Rumors have been swirling that Obama,Dean and Pelosi are trying to negotiate Hillary’s name off of the ballot at the Convention next month. It seems they don’t mind her being on the ballot as long as it’s as a symbolic, roll-call gesture . They want her name on the ballot, they just don’t want placed on the ballot for nomination.

Neither Obama nor Hillary won enough votes to secure the nomination. Obama may have 390 more of them if all the super delegates who pledged to him actually vote for him at the convention. But with his shine getting a little a duller and with 18 million voters voting for Hillary, having her name as a nominee on the ballot and having to listen to all her delegate vote for her would make his ass pucker. All it would take is for her to have prime placement in the speeches and just knock it out of the park. The amount of delegates she has and the problems with his incessant flip-flopping could remind the delegates that she really does have a damn good chance of beating McCain. If she, or Bill were to remind them that her poll numbers against McCain were better than the 46% he and Obama share now…. Who knows what could happen and that’s why he needs to get her of the nominating ballot.

So what can he do about that? Well he can use his political influence to make sure that she is taken off the ballot as a nominee and placed there just as his symbolic 2nd. He’s done this before. Obama only likes to win when he’s uncontested. When Alice Palmer, the former state senator who picked Obama to be her successor back in the mid-90s wanted back on the ticket, he had her kicked off. The problem with Hillary is that there is no legal reason to have her bumped off the ballot. More than that though, if her voters aren’t allowed to vote for her then it’s game on and party unity my ass.

It would be quite embarrassing to Obama if there was a open-air-stadium-like response to Hillary getting on stage and giving a blow-out speech.. This is his shining moment and Hillary can’t be allowed to outshine him once again. But at the same time, Obama wants to project a ‘party-unity’ that just isn’t there. In order to keep that faux-appearance, Hillary just can’t be on the ballot and steal the sunshine from his over-whelming, ever engorging ego. It would ruin his grand plan to take over the world.

Don’t think he has a plan?

Ha-ha Ha-ha Ha-ha

He’s going to give his outdoor stadium speech on the 45th anniversary of MLK “I have a dream” speech while being the 1st nominee to give an outdoor speech since JFK did it in 1960. Yeah, someone is a little full of himself huh?

Here’s the thing. I don’t really give a rat’s ass if it’s embarrassing to Barack Obama. His people screamed like little bitches that Michigan shouldn’t count because he wasn’t on the ballot when they are the ones who took him off. So could you imagine the screaming and race-crying if there was a plan in the mix to get him placed on the ballot as a token 2nd choice? I think Motley Crue, The beatles and Charles Manson had a prediction for that scenario called “Helter Skelter”

This Manson predicted scenario is really just one wrong move from happening as it is. If the press caves, if Obama misteps in such a way that it just can’t be ingored we might have to call Charlie “profit” instead of whack-o-nut. But it would take alot to make the press go against the messiah I mean have you read a story on Obama? The other day there was a story that comics can’t even make fun of him, in that story the writer says

“But there has been little humor about Obama: about his age, his speaking ability, his intelligence, his family, his physique”

Is he Adonis or something? Maybe he’s Jesus? Or maybe he’s the reincarnation of Budda himself .

Jon Stewart tried to make fun of him, but met resistance from the audience. He had to tell them “You know, you’re allowed to laugh at him.”

Things that make you go hmmmmmmmmm ….Did Jim Jones’ followers ever laugh at him?

Every week I decide I am going to have to swallow my hatred and get on the ball and get the bad stuff out about McCain. Because there really is a lot of stuff out there….. I mean look at this response to a question about his surrogate saying that some health insurance will pay for viagra and not birth control and women would like to have the choice (response at about 5:00).

Could you imaging him being asked a really important question? HA!

Anyway, every week I want to change. I hope that I can finally sit down and do something positive about Barack or if not positive then something about McCain. But every week Barack tweaks my ire with something else and I completely forget about the crazy old man that might just be our next president and I shouldn’t.

This man is just as dangerous and the other one.

How in the hell did we get these 2 “unelectables in a sane year” as our only 2 choices?

Three words

George W Bush.

Yes, that’s right. What kind of liberal rant would this be without putting some kind of blame on Bush? But it’s true. The DNC figured that no matter what and no matter who, they had this election in the bag. The republicans could clone Ronald Reagan and it wouldn’t matter. George Bush fucked this country up so bad and didn’t give one shit about it that anyone running as a (D) would win.

Look say what would want, but even McCain knows this and is doing everything in his power to avoid being linked to Bush.

So the DNC is all it’s wisdom gave us…. No forced upon us.. A liberals wet-dream. No the wet-dream isn’t a woman… No-no… the true liberal wet dream is a good looking black man. Harold Ford jr would have been my choice, but his skeletons have already been vetted out so a no name senator would have do. Hopefully he could get the nomination and election before they were weeded out by the press. But if not, what to do?

Then, a “Karl Rove like” idea was formed.

Anytime anyone dissed this candidate, scream racism.( Which as you know is the liberal kryptonite.) Scream it at every charge and eventually no one will make any more charges and if the do they can be put off as people who just don’t like blacks.

Howard Dean may not have known about Obama deciding to do the open-air stadium rapture until he saw it on the news, but he damn sure knows his liberals.

The problem is liberals don’t just sit silent and fall in with the party-line because the party wants them to. But to silence them forever Dean and his subordinates can only do one more thing to ensure the nomination goes to the exalted one. Get Hillary off the ballot at the convention.

It will be interesting to see how it all plays out. I hope The Denver Group accomplishes it’s goal. Because Hillary may be an old school politician, but she is still better and saner than anyone else out there. The question is though, are more and more people with the power to do something about it paying attention?

Everyday I hear more and more people moan about the Democrat’s choice we are forced to swallow. When the primaries started I was amazed at how many people actually cared. There was an electricity in the air, like just before a thunderstorm. That metallic smell was all around, people were hungry for a change and they couldn’t wait to get the ball rolling.

I witnessed 2 camps. One camp was strong and confidante for the future. The dollar was going down, gas was going up. The war was costing billions and people were starved for change. They knew it was a full-blown fact that a democrat would be elected and while that person might not fix all the problems that he or she was left to fix, they would better than what we’ve had for the last 8 years. They were happy and content that the stronger, better candidate would win.

The other camp had the pep and zip of a 12 year old boy. They got out there and worked. They rallied around their man, they weren’t content to sit there and just let it all happen. No they wanted to make a grand statement, they wanted pop and flare.

It kinda reminded me of the Tortoise and the Hare fable. I think everyone expected the hare to peter out while the tortoise moseyed over the finish line. There was no way the hare would actually go the distance. It just couldn’t happen this time because there was too much at stake, too much to gain and even more to lose.

They were wrong. The hare didn’t peter out. In fact he brilliantly beat the tortoise at her own game and then stole her shell and shit in it.

Months later, with the convention and official ‘crowning’ coming up. I am seeing and hearing more and more people get more and more disgusted with the whole thing. The electricity is gone, the metallic thunderstorm smell has abated and people are looking around asking what the hell happened.

These people never expected Obama to really get this far. Sure, he’d make a big splash but eventually he’d be vetted out of the race. His past history, associates and lack of experience would overcome him and he could walk way silently.

Everyone expected ‘race’ to become involved in the ‘hunt for the white house’. It was to be expected just like sexism was to be expected against Hillary. What people didn’t expect was that race would be played against everyone by the black candidate and the sexism would overshadow any and everything else that was left.

I’ve talked to so many people, white and black from a pediatric anesthesiologist to a house cleaner, from ‘red neck to city-slicker’ and all of them say the same thing. “what can we do now?”

Again I am reminded of a tortoise, these people are like a tortoise without it’s shell. They don’t know what to do come November. They have never considered voting republican but are finding excuses to justify a vote for McCain. They look at how he was 8 years ago, when he was a more himself and less George Bush, when he stuck to what he believed and not the just party line. And they are saying “well, maybe he’ll be like that in the White House, right now he just has to pander to the Right in order to get elected” These people will not under any circumstance vote for Obama.

I have actually tried to play devil’s advocate and say “well, the next president will put 2 justices on the supreme court, If McCain gets the chance women’s rights will go back 50 years”

The reply “Roe v Wade will never be repealed. It’s been the law of the land for so long that it’s safe no matter who is on the court”

I say, “McCains party is all for limiting the pharmaceutical companies liability when they market a drug and it makes you grow a third nipple on your nose’”

The reply “I think the FDA is stronger than that”

I say “Bush changed the clean water act by ‘ Allowing masses of industrial wastes to be dumped in streams, lakes, rivers, and wetlands’….do you think mini-me-McCain would go against this?

The reply again, “well, that’s alway been happening and will keep happening no matter who is in office”

Mind you, I detest Barrack. I do not trust him. I think there is so much hidden dirt on him that when it comes out we will all beg for 4 years of Dick Cheney, but I want to make sure these people know what they are saying when they try and justify McCain.

I cannot convince them to vote for Barrack. Nothing I say makes a dent. They are as adamant as I am about him.

How did this happen?

He is supposed to the one who brings us ‘unity’ and instead he is the one dividing the democratic party. Those who never thought he had a chance feel so shut out that they are willing to vote the other side. That’s not bringing us all together and singing kumbaya around the campfire… that’s Hatfield and McCoy shit right there.

We all watched as nightly Hillary was attacked for her cleavage, her tears and how her voice reminded men of their nagging wives. We all watched as anything negative or even questioning was said about Barrack was turned into “that’s racially offensive”. We all watched in amazement as his own supporters couldn’t give a single one of his accomplishments. No matter how you look at that, it’s a problem. When you ask someone ‘what qualifies you for the job of President of the United States” and the only answer that is given is “I am inspirational” it becomes a joke. When that person goes on to take the party nomination, it becomes divisive.

We are all used to having to vote for the lesser of the two evils. We’ve all said “well he’s not my 1st pick, but I’ll take him” So what is the difference now?

I think that while Obama’s people were trying to make sure “race” was never brought up they went too far and saw ‘race’ in everything and that pissed a lot of people off. These people have never been anything but neutral to positive when it comes to gender, sex or race. They are liberals for God’s sake. They embraced the gays, the blacks, the Hispanics, the poor and the sick. But all of a sudden they were made to feel like David Duke because Barrack wasn’t their 1st, 2nd, or even 11th choice. They were made to feel like they were holding the whips and beating the slaves when they questioned “He sat in the church for how many years?” “His “white” what?” ..”a fairy tale is racist now? Huh?”… “RFK means she’s sending code to Jason Bourne?”… And all of a sudden they got sick of it. So sick that they will sell their rights and their values because they will not vote for Barrack.

So much for unity.

This divide was once blamed on Hillary because she dared to stay in the race, but now that she’s out of it… it‘s still festering and even growing. So who really was to blame?

When asked “I don’t know what I’m going to do come Novemeber”…. how do you answer? Because I’m at a loss…

Are fucking kidding me? While scanning the comments on this article I came across this gem…

This is a very good post. Sen. Clinton has demonstrated a willful disregard for the majority of voters who have chosen her opponent.

Are you kidding me?

She’s showing willful disregard for the majority of voters by staying in the race… So what in the hell is Obama doing by staying in the race? He’s not leading with 100%, so is he showing willful disregard to the voters who don’t want him as the nominee?

How absolutely low and disgusting can you be to tell a candidate that even though the numbers show she is not losing everywhere and where she is trailing, it’s not by much. In fact the polls have Hillary single-handedly winning the electoral votes, but she’s are hurting the people who voted against her. How do you tell her that she should leave the race because the people that voted against her don’t like her being in the race and the people that voted against her are getting angry and she’s just being mean to them?

What the fuck kind of country is this anyway? Are you kidding me? I guess she should tell the 60% of the voters in WV and KY to go piss up a rope because she doesn’t want to hurt the feeling of the 30% that voted for her opponent.

She has been called insane and delusional for staying in the race by the same people telling her to get out because she’s disenfranchising the voters who didn’t vote for her. WTF? She would only be delusional and insane if she said “Oh my, you’re right… what was I thinking? I need to step aside because the people that didn’t vote for me want me to”

Is that not the most insane reason for someone to get out of a race??

Come one people. You can’t tell someone to get out a race because her distracters want her to. You can’t tell someone to get out of race because it’s almost finished so why bother going all the way. You can’t tell someone this who is repeatedly beating the ass of the ‘Cinderella’ candidate. If the majority of the people wanted Obama, then why is she still beating him by huge, HUGE numbers or only losing to him by >1-3%? They are virtually tied and yet she must be insane to stay in the race?

The fact of the matter is Obama was winning but now he is not. If she were putting up these kinds of numbers right after Iowa it would be ‘Obama who?’ The other fact is if the super delegates, governors, senators and other big political types were to be forced to vote who their constituency picked she’d have the delegate vote locked up.

The last simple fact is that the only way Obama can win is if she steps out. He doesn’t have the numbers without her giving them to him.

Bill Clinton is right. Never has a candidate been treated so disrespectfully. Never in the history of any contest has someone been ridiculed daily for not getting out of the contest because the people who don’t want her to win want her out. It is completely absurd that this really is a reason being touted by the DNC and Obama’s press corp. Bill nailed it on the head when he said that they want her out before they have to decide what to do with FL and MI. That’s what all this boils down to. If she isn’t in the race they don’t have to decide what to do with her wins in Fl and MI. The DNC isn’t stupid. They can’t seat a nominee without allowing these two states to vote. Because if they did a Democrat would never win those states again. So the only thing to do is throw every single reason that Howard Dean can come up with at Hillary as to why she should step away from the race.

How disgusting.

It’s not Hillary’s campaign that will make me stay at home this November. It’s the campaign by the DNC and Barrack Obama against her even being in the race that will ‘disenfranchise me’.

Shame on the white and black men’s club who shat this pile of stink out when they came up with these rules and now want to wipe the mess off on her head because she made them step in it.
