Just wait till Sen. Clinton holds that press conference outside the Denver convention.
Edited on Sat May-24-08 01:28 PM by Poll_Blind
  When she announces the Freedom Buses from Michigan and Florida have arrived and upwards of 50,000 supporters are there to make sure they aren't disenfranchised again. I suspect it will not be a long speech. But it will compare the inability to seat the MI and FL delegates to the theft of the 2000 election or elections in Zimbabwe. It will be interrupted many times by applause and booing the villians she describes.

  And when the cameras pan across the crowd of her supporters, some weeping but all listening intently, you will see on their faces, every one, that they realize it rests on their shoulders. They're the Patriots and those...those would take this Liberty away from them are the enemy.

  And when you watch it on television or hear it on the radio, what are you going to be thinking then?

  Based on her behavior so far, how can anyone say that it's outside of the bounds of possibility that she actually tries to stage something like this during the Democratic Convention?

1. When spewing talking points it's best to at least get the states correct.
When she announces the Freedom Buses from Minnesota and Florida have arrived and....


Good that you changed that before the next rubber check from Hillary is due.

2. Robert Mugabe smiles on her demands for Michigan.
She and her supporters are sorely misjudging if they think the rest of the Democratic Party and Americans in general are willing to tolerate much more of their bullshit.

Go ahead, push your luck. Going way overboard and then acting surprised at the backlash is the staple of Hillary and her supporter's politics.

5. "Going way overboard and then acting surprised at the backlash is the staple of Hillary and her..."
"...supporter's politics."

  This aspect honestly confuses me the most. The closest possible, sensible, reason I can imagine is that they want to be publicly driven from the Democratic party so they can join another campaign which they may have a chance of winning on.

9. There's no rhyme or reason to it anymore.
Hillary and her camp haven't had a plan since February. Now it's all reaction and bullshit posturing.

13. When I can't understand the actions of people who I KNOW to be intelligent and savvy,...
...I start worrying. I'll admit that. I can't dismiss them...can't just presume they'd slink away with some modicum of honor left as I would, if I were in a similar situation.

7. To be honest, that mistake made a big impression on me.
I'm very tired of people not from Michigan sticking their noses into what we do here. Our state Dems fucked up and it's up to us to make sure they never get that chance again. In the meantime stop using us as your excuse for a failed candidate. :mad:

11. I want to make it clear there is no calumny intended for Michigan as a state.
  Only those supporters of Sen. Clinton, who happen to be from Michigan and Florida who can be duped into believing her arguments.

16. Then I'm good.
Sorry, I'm just fed up with people from other states telling us what should happen with our votes. I say let the DNC work it out with both Obama and Hillary.

If you care to see what I've posted about it...

8. Not a big deal - it was clear what you meant to say. We all do that. nt

6. Meant to reply to OP, not to you.
I.E. is going haywire today, I didn't think your comment was still on the board. Sorry for the mis-click.

12. It's politics. And I don't feel it's all that astounding a reach given the other stops that...
...Senator Clinton has pulled out after realizing that she's not going to win this.

15. I would be amazed if Hillary didn't stage a cheap stunt like this and much, much worse
She is lower than Nixon ever dared to be. Poor us.

14. Oh, puleeeze. Enemy?
You'd better re-think who the enemy is around here. Give me a break. Talk about overstating a case.
