(July 10, 2008) Negotiating Democracy: Brazille and Obama plot to keep Hillary off Convention Ballot (DoneDem)

Obama and his minions are planning on staging some political deja vu by preventing Hillary's name from being put into nomination, much in the same way Obama forced out Alice Palmer. Seems he feels he can only win elections if he runs unopposed. Not surprising, considering his enormous lack of experience and a resume thinner than Kate Moss.


Start spreading the word about these two and what they are doing to democracy!

Thanks! This link worked. Loaded in a few seconds. Our Internet connection comes from a nearby cell tower and sometimes it can be "contrary."

Excerpts:

Obama and his minions are planning on staging some political deja vu by preventing Hillary’s name from being put into nomination, much in the same way Obama forced out Alice Palmer. Seems he feels he can only win elections if he runs unopposed. Not surprising, considering his enormous lack of experience and a resume thinner than Kate Moss.

Except, this time, there is no legal pretense, just his own blind ambition and ego that demands a 76,000 seat stadium and a speech in front of the Brandenburg Gate in Germany before he’s even the official nominee, much less the president.

The problem is “there’s a strong feeling” that Sen. Clinton’s delegates need the chance to vote for her, Mr. Devine said. Many are still angry with a party decision that they feel deprived her of delegates from Michigan and Florida. “You don’t want a situation where anybody feels they’ve been cheated,” he said.

“There’s nothing symbolically wrong to putting her name in,” followed by a scripted withdrawal, said Ms. Brazile. But the spectacle of a rapturous welcome for Sen. Clinton would be irresistible to television and could embarrass Sen. Obama.

First and foremost, the “problem” isn’t that we, Senator Clinton’s delegates and her over 18 million supporters, want and deserve the opportunity to vote for her, the problem is that you all see it as a problem. And you’re damn right that if we don’t get the chance to vote for her, we will not only “feel cheated” we will have been cheated. And trust me, if we are cheated in this way, compiled with the other numerous injustices of the primary, there will be no unity. Not now, not in November, not ever.

And as for you, Donna, I don’t give a rat’s a** what does or does not embarrass Obama. Frankly, his unbridled ambition, and inability to form a sentence without the aid of a TelePrompTer should already be embarrassing.

Embarrassment is one thing and injustice is another.

It is inconceivable that there is even discussion of not placing Hillary’s name into nomination. Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton is the first woman to ever win a presidential primary or caucus contest. Beyond that, she is the winner of the popular vote and boasts a significant delegate count. Indeed, she would be the pledged delegate leader but for unscrupulous and undemocratic happenings at the Rules and Bylaws Committee meeting.

And just in case you didn’t know, 76,000 chanting sycophants on constant kool-aid IV drip will not be enough to silence the millions of Hillary supporters. We can smell what you’re cooking from here Donna, and it stinks to high heaven.

Now more than ever, we all need to be working with The Denver Group to ensure that there is an open, free and truly democratic convention.

The goals of The Denver Group are simple:

1) An open convention.

2) Senator Clinton’s name placed in nomination. No symbolic roll call vote.

3) Speeches allowed by supporters of Senator Clinton on
behalf of her candidacy.

4) A genuine roll call vote with Senator Clinton as a legitimate candidate.

5) No coronation.

It’s a damn shame that grassroots organizations have to formed to ensure that the Democratic Party is indeed democratic.

If his little feeling would be hurt by this, how could he possibly talk to other world leaders?

It seems to me that if BHO were any kind of man, (which we all know he isn't), to hell with being embarrassed, he should follow the democratic process to ensure unity.

We've seen what he, Brazile and others have done with the RBC, and trampled on our Constitution, are they ready for our wrath?

All America will be watching this convention. If they even think of coming up with more unconstitutional surprises, there well could be an uprising by the likes this country hasn't seen since the Boston Tea Party.

I suppose that many in the party would think we're tierd of fighting the establishment. Little do they know, we're just beginning. We will not cow down to these elitists.

Start the revolution.....We are not going to allow them to take our rights away!!

If DNC will continue with this plan, they are walking into a certain defeat in November.

I agree....If he had any bit of class about himself or really thought that he was legitimate, he would not be caught up in some of the trivialities which have come out.

All America and some out side of America are watching this process. And just like GWB has made America a laughingstock, the DNC (which includes Brazille and company) and BHO are truly making a mockery of the democratic process

[underpaidnurse]

what are they afraid of? don't they keep saying he won fair and square and for us to accept it? well then, lets play by the rules..no worries, Right Donna and the Dnc?

DONNA BRAZILE FEELS THE DNC HAS THIS RIGHT TO JERK HILLARY CLINTON AROUND A LITTLE MORE IN FAVOR OF THIS FRAUD, IRRESPONSIBLE, POMPOUS, ELITISTS A** NAMED OBAMA

18 MILLION STRONG HOPEFULLY WILL CHANGE THAT TUNE, OTHERWISE VOTE MCCAIN
