- EnviroChem, on 05/22/2009, -4/+52Unfortunatly for Princess Hillary, somewhere along the way to her coronation a democratic election broke out and the people chose someone else.
- Ridgeliner7, on 05/10/2008, -3/+37"Under the guise of justice and fair play, Hillary Clinton is, in effect, asking the Rules Committee to rule that the party’s rules should be ignored — the same rules that the Rules Committee enacted and that Hillary and all of the other democrats supported without dissent. But that was then and now is now....she and her husband both believe that she is entitled to the nomination, entitled to the presidency. So they’re waiting for the inevitable signal that it will, in fact, be hers."
- mrogi, on 05/10/2008, -3/+34Now I understand why Bill and Hillary never got divorced. Hillary is incapable of letting go.
- kokoshuko, on 05/10/2008, -2/+34It's not over yet! She still has forces in the Ukraine.
- inactive, on 05/10/2008, -4/+25Obviously someone is holding a gun on you and forcing you to click on these election stories. Do you need help?
- GhostyBoy, on 05/10/2008, -1/+21She's officially irrelevant. Let us never speak of her again.
- slapded, on 05/10/2008, -2/+22she reminds me of that little annoying kid who didnt get what they wanted on the other kids birthday.
- Snuff99, on 05/10/2008, -2/+21When he is President. That was a silly question.
- MrSalty, on 05/10/2008, -2/+21Following a clear and concise set of rules that everyone agreed to ahead of time is not corrupt. Throwing away those rules and giving Clinton the delegates of a state in which her opponent's name didn't even appear on the ballot would be corrupt.
- tcbishop12, on 05/10/2008, -2/+18Hillary should look at the plain math and let it go. First, Obama has won more pledged delegates, more states, and more votes than Hillary Clinton, no matter how you count it. Second, Barack Obama has a far more diverse political base than Clinton. Third, in recent contests Clinton has increasingly relied on McCain supporters to win votes. Fourth, a disproportionate share of Clinton's support from white voters comes from women who are basing their vote on the identity politics of gender more than race. Fifth, one of the reasons that Hillary has been able to build an image as a (white) "working-class hero" is that despite Clinton's attacks on Barack Obama, Obama has taken the moral high ground by refusing to make personal attacks against her (and boy howdy, could he have done so). Sixth, this race and gender divisive thing she is now promoting is plainly evil.
Her campaign surrogates' new "let her resign with grace" argument is also a canard, a trick, a ruse: the supers should seal the nomination away from Hillary's destructive tampering now before further damage is done.
Even today, she is trying to take Obama down in a new way, but also, as conservative commentator Peggy Noonan noted yesterday in the Wall Street Journal article, within a new context.
In the past Sen. Obama was just the competitor. Hillary could say, "All's fair."
But now Sen. Obama's the competitor who is actually going to be the nominee of the Democratic party.
And she is still trying to do him in, Fatal Attraction style.
And the party is watching.
As Peggy Noonan also noted, to play the race and gender cards as Mrs. Clinton has again this week, to highlight and encourage a sense that we are crudely divided as a nation, to make your argument a brute and cynical "the black guy can't win but the white girl can" is -- well, so vulgar, so cynical, so cold, that once again a Clinton is making us turn off the television in case our children walk by.
It's not math anymore, it's psychodrama. If she can't have it, no one can have it. If she has to tear the party apart, she will.
It is time for the super delegates to end it, so that we can all move on to winning the general election in the fall. - inactive, on 05/10/2008, -4/+17yay! blu-ray wo... oh wrong war. sorry.
- lohphat, on 05/10/2008, -1/+16I've worked for a CEO like Hillary. Their megalomania and their inability to recognize and properly reacy to industry trends took the stock from $60 to $0.43 -- AFTER a reverse 7:1 split.
Her stubborniess is a telling insight to her "leadership". Would you want someone in denial of simple math leading you?
I would now argue that she is no longer worth of being a Senator. - StarlessKnight, on 05/10/2008, -0/+12Good to see people electing candidates based on the issues!
- sochee, on 05/10/2008, -11/+22Wow, an anti-Hillary link that's not from the Huffington Post! Amazing!
- inactive, on 05/10/2008, -2/+14You're not talking about FL and MI, are you?
- rand0mm0nkey, on 05/10/2008, -1/+13DING! DONG! The witch is...... well, you know the rest.
- StarlessKnight, on 05/10/2008, -1/+11Be mindful of the future, young Padawan, but not at the expense of the present.
- duluxanon, on 05/10/2008, -3/+13How can you win fair and square if you are the only one on the ballot because everyone else withdrew?
The only fair thing to do would be to have a revote - but that would be expensive (and obama would win anyway according to recent polls).
Why bankrupt your party for what already is an inevitable outcome?
Thats wy I like Obama - move from selfish politics to something a bit more uplifting and fresh. - tharju, on 05/10/2008, -3/+11because?
- Tyr7BE, on 05/10/2008, -4/+12Yeah seriously. You know what I haven't seen in a while? A story about the iPhone. Let's see some more of that. That just never gets old.
- jbronder, on 05/10/2008, -2/+11The Ukraine is weak!
- inactive, on 05/10/2008, -4/+23" we Democrats"
Gee a lying right winger. That's new.
Oh wait... - Malacandra95, on 05/10/2008, -2/+9I call it a case of "psychological projection". That's when you accuse others of you're own worst traits... demonizing that which you refuse to acknowledge in yourself.
The GOP has ignored the Geneva Conventions, suspended habeas corpus, ignore congressional subpoenas, make the ridiculous assertion that the Vice Presidency is a 4th branch of government, wave away being subject to laws that they themselves pass with "signing statements" ... but they're all about the "rule of law".
That's not law: that's Calvinball. - richporter, on 05/10/2008, -1/+8Florida and Michigan's Dem. leaders moved their primary dates forward against party rules. Sure, those voters are ***** and their wants thrown to the dogs. Yet they have no one to blame but the party leaders of their state. Winning Florida fair and square okay, I'll give that to Hillary and her supporters. She was the only candidate on the ballot in Michigan however, and that doesn't seem very fair or square to me. What do you think?
- stretch611, on 05/10/2008, -0/+8Hillary never got divorced because she used Bill's popularity to help her get this far and she expected to get all the way into the white house with it.
- joelito, on 05/10/2008, -0/+7Did you happened to work at SCO?
- ravenswing2, on 05/10/2008, -0/+7ABRUPT? Where has Forbes been? The rest of us have been watching her campaign self destruct for months.
- chaosium, on 05/10/2008, -0/+6The truth hurts.
- stretch611, on 05/10/2008, -0/+6When the majority of Digg users don't want to hear it. The ability to Digg or bury bury essentially creates a popularity poll. If you do not like what you are reading feel free to bury a story and move on. But, I'm sorry you would rather troll and place negative comments in a thread about a story you obviously don't care about.
- inactive, on 05/10/2008, -3/+9Yes. We also know about your secret gay lover.
But, hey, not that there's anything wrong with that... - one1plus1one, on 05/10/2008, -1/+7Allright! VHS triumphs over betamax... heeeee haaaaaaw... oh wait, sorry. Still the wrong war.
- Spoomeister, on 05/10/2008, -0/+5LOL - I thought it was more like one of those players who still own Austrailia, but then piled all their units into Siam, so no one could break through and finally finish her off.
- inactive, on 05/10/2008, -3/+8"Now chico, if that is your real name"
It's not even my real ID. That has three words in it.
Also, I find right wing liars sexually repellent. Good luck, though. - MacEnvy, on 05/10/2008, -2/+7You sound bitter. Do you also cling to guns and religion?
- DephexTwin, on 05/10/2008, -2/+7Obvious troll is obvious.
- philipl411, on 05/10/2008, -5/+13What does that have to do with the price of beans?
- StarlessKnight, on 05/10/2008, -4/+10A lot. "Whites declare racism against Blacks OVER after a Black President is elected." What does the election have to do with the price of tea in China? It suggests we've made progress, yes.
- slaizer, on 05/10/2008, -0/+5It's not about disenfranchising. All candidates agreed to sign a pledge not to campaign nor put their names on the ballot in Michigan and Florida. They broke the rules, so it's only fair that they suffer the inevitable consequences. Trying to get an agreement which everybody agreed on overruled because you're losing, when you cannot even win anymore, is not just f***ing pathetic, it's lack of moral fiber.
Do you really think Hillary would give a flying f**k about MI and FL if they had went for Obama? - inactive, on 05/11/2008, -2/+7Racism will always exist because the con is so lucrative to the victims of it.
- inactive, on 05/10/2008, -3/+8Are you sure you know what "homophobe" means? Because you seem to think that it means "one who makes fun of right wing liars." It doesn't.
- inactive, on 05/10/2008, -10/+17"Racism is OVER."
You are white, aren't you? - stormgren, on 05/10/2008, -0/+4Obama wasn't even on the ballot in michigan.
- Arramol, on 05/10/2008, -4/+8Sorry, ran out of edit time. You also have to keep in mind that the effects of racism can outlast racism itself. A family that was denied a good education will generally (not always, of course) have fewer opportunities and therefore be able to pass on fewer skills and such to the next generation, which means that *that* generation has fewer opportunities, etc. I don't have a link handy to cite the sociological studies backing it up because I got it in college lectures, but it's a well-document phenomenon. It's possible to dig yourself out, but statistically speaking, most won't. So yes, even after the passing of racism, you're going to have blacks who are disadvantaged because of the ongoing effects.
- chaosium, on 05/10/2008, -0/+4In that case, she gets exactly what she deserves.
- Arramol, on 05/10/2008, -4/+9Keep in mind that a black person getting elected only means that 51% of the country was willing to vote for a black. That's a definite milestone, but it's not the end of the road. Racism is in definite decline, but it's not dead yet. It takes a long, long time to dig out something that firmly entrenched.
- stretch611, on 05/10/2008, -0/+5Who is going to donate to a lost cause?
- biotch, on 05/10/2008, -0/+3I think maybe at this point she is just trying to make back some or all of the money she loaned her campaign? I just dont see the rationale behind her decision to keep fighting. Its either that or she has gone loopy
- inactive, on 05/10/2008, -4/+7All you right wing liars claim you aren't gay. Right up until your mug shot gets posted after the arrest for soliciting sex from an undercover cop in a public restroom.
- inactive, on 05/10/2008, -4/+7It's fine with me that you like men. Relax, you're among friends with the rest of your fellow Democrats, right? While you are correct that I'm a leftist, I have never advocated tolerating liars like you.
BTW, I was "implying." You should "infer."
