DNC Rules Committee about to begin meeting

05/31/2008 7:32 am 6 comments

Early reports indicate that Sen. Hillary Clinton’s supporters are completely in favor of seating the full delegations of Michigan and Florida without any penalty.

The campaign of Sen. Barack Obama disagree.

I was told this morning that the committee voted 13-11 last night NOT to reward the two states for moving their primaries in violation of DNC rules.

    People are placing the blame on Obama for this mess. If they only had a brain and cared to know the truth. I wish he had the power they claim he has. The place for this mess belongs with Florida Democrats. STOP the lies and find out the truth. It’s there if you want to know. OBAMA 08

    the party made the rules and everyone knew what the rules were and signed pledges to honor them.. Hillary made the person choice to ignore that and campaign in Florida anyway. and to leave her name on the ballot… she regards nothing..

    now that the reality set in that she was not an automatic shoe in and she’s loosing.. she wants the rules changed and society is just suppose to forget it’s rules and give her everything, becase her name is Clinton..

    she will never regain the respect of people who pay attention.. only of the people who are hung up on namesake.. but as to principals.. she has violated any and every principal that exist in the party rules, and ignored their call for her to stop the party destruction and stop the dividing of the party she has engaged…

    if people open their eyes and stop looking at the “woman” factor.. and pay attention to who the person is that is causing havoc in the process and making the Republicans see the Democrats as a disorganized and a party unable to abide by it’s own rules… this is Hillary’s doing.. and it’s destructive and she has no concept of her damage, because she can only see herself as ” Queen Hillary”.. on a glory mission.

    the delegates are just bing nice not to tell it how they see it, but if the delegates do what is right, they’d cast their votes and get this madness over… before she does any more damage.

    if it’s left to her.. she will destroy the party, if it suits her getting her tiara.. and that is all she is concerned with…

    but it’s hopeful, the New York voters, wake up and not vote her back into the Senate, and get someone who is about respect of the party, which represent the people, and appoint a Senator who actually understands they are a Representative of the party that represents people of the party, in a congressional seat.. not .. some mission of personal glory..

    What irritates me more than ever is to continue to hear Hilary say, “I have the most popular vote, I have the base needed, (i.e. white women, racists and hispanics) to go against McCain.

    Fact;, back when she had the superdelegate lead, she said it is the delegates that should determine the nominee, once she started losing in delegates, she start preaching that the popular vote should determine the nominee. All this chaos in the democratic party is all relegated back to Hilary. She and Bill were the first to play the race card and now her campaign is saying that Obama has been constantly playing the race card, HOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Secondly, every news station keeping saying, “Obama is in trouble with the white women vote”. I ask and just why is that; answer, HIlary. She has been building up all this hate against Obama with her tactics and continuing to play the sexist, victim role. Hilary’s camp is probably the ones that dug up the Rev. Wright tape and gave to FOX and all the other stuff she has tried to crucify him with. So I am sure she is furious because her attacks still has him leading, how sad.

    The rules committee did a good job yesterday. But these blacks that have some kind “political” position and out in force supporting Hilary is beyond my understanding.

    If both candidates are more or less equal, you should support your black candidate. Can you imagine that if the blacks that support Hilary had suppported Obama, this race probably would be over. But most of these blacks are basing their support on the “good ole days” of Bill Clinton. They dont’ care that these two have tried to ruin Obama and I guarantee, these blacks working behind the scene for Hilary, gave the Rev. Wright tape to the news station.

    Roland,
    First let me say that your radio show is great! I listen to you every am and I am inspired to become politically active once again(did so in college back in the day). I want to comment on the recent DNC rulings for Florida and Michigan. Hillary’s chairman is complaining about Obama stealing votes from undeclared voters in Michigan. Unfair? Stealing? What about Hillary’s camp wanting to lay claim to all of the votes after she broke the DNC rules? Thats unfair! She broke the rules! So does she want a double standard here? Does she want Obamah to adhere to the standards while she adheres to no ones standards? This entire whining campaign is getting tiresome and I’ll be glad when we can get to the final campaign-Obamah and McCain.
    America needs a break, America needs a change in politics. Out with the old and in with the new!!!
