Hey, Dems! Nice display of pseudo fascism at the Florida-Michigan DNC meeting.

Nevermind that most of you ignored the votes of a couple of million people. They didn't sign on to your stupid rules.

Your "unity" is on review, along with your organization. You're beginning to look more like a group that is not as happy as the old Democratic Party, the inclusive, more accepting one.

Let's count the ones you've disenfranchised in your party so far in this primary:

  1. The 2.5 million in Michigan and Florida;
  2. The many huge numbers of white women voters in the swing states;
  3. The blue collar swing state white voters; and
  4. The rural swing state white voters.
Those are millions. Those are an awful lot of people that Mrs. Clinton says is a popular majority.

What is the party thinking?

Poor Democrats. Now that Obama's black liberation consciousness-raising pastors are popping up again, their party leader has got another fire to put out. What's next? An emir from Indonesia, for Allah's sake? No. I can't take it! When can he start establishing himself?

If it isn't a pastor it's the bitter remark reminding people he's a such snob. If it isn't an angry old white woman like Ferraro whom he dissed because she said something unacceptable to the fascist new party leaders--wow, is she miffed--it's another flareup from someone like an old radical hippie couple like Bill Ayres and Bernadette Dohrn for cripes sake. I mean, no one hangs out with them. Try to explain that to the guys at the VFW Hall who lost a leg in Nam.

All of this reminds folks of Obama's rather radically eclectic and mysterious connections. That's not all it does. It causes folks to wonder, one more time, what's up with this guy? Now people are starting to know Obama. Hillary and I have known him for ages now, by the way.

Even Oprah's gone off the deep end getting herself into some New Age weird religion thing and at the same time endorsed Obama. She lost some 2 or 3 million viewers immediately. Again, a hint at a decline in both images...

After initial or second impressions, independent people start thinking critically. Enough "bad" "negative" Obama news might be enough one day that in November, old guy with a young running mate might look pretty darn good to them. The drum beat...

It just a matter of time before voters hear that Obama helped Father Phleger get $300 thousand for his Peace Center from the government. They were buds back when Obama was an organizer in South Chicago--there's that nervous word again--which recalls words like union, left wing, socialist.

But the Democrats are stuck with Obama because they're all successful lawyers and acting like Republicans and suddenly the rules rule in a party that is not very rulable. All at once they hear no evil, see no evil in their their fantasy political club.

Personally, I can't imagine squandering Dr. King's dream on the likes of Obama.

The problem is no self-respecting Dem can live with any of this once they get their blinders off. I agree with Harold Ickes who said they simply don't know what they're doing. They must be out of their minds. Some worm has entered their brains. They are 30 people who are speaking for 2-1/2 million people about the destiny of a popular vote in a primary...a hugely different application than a national electoral vote.

Poor Harold, hung over from a late night arguing with these intractable pols who could not, would not give up the ghost and do the right democratic thing by seating all delegates. Does it seem to anyone strange they would seat half, but not all? What an odd group of people these Democrats are.

(smirk)

I don't know what the Democrats will do since they have before them an unelectable candidate in Obama. Fortunately, they do have a choice, a nuclear option in the Super Delegates.

I do know what Hillary's going to do, however. She'll see everyone in Denver...just like I said months ago. I wonder if she'll go to Disneyland first.

You gotta love her!

We'll see if the Republican male leadership will respond to Items 1 through 4 above. Don't hold your breath; they are Republican white males after all.

Thanks for the read.
