[CreekDog]

21. this whole thing lacks substance

[tridim]

67. He just replaces his entire head every few years.

It's twist-off.

[Willo]

22. Griffin: What about the voters who didn't come out?

Nelson: To heck with them, 2 million did.

paraphrasing all mine.

[mystieus]

[Zachstar]

:shrug:

I hope this election changes the power base of the Dem party.

[blogslut]

26. Ben Nelson doesn't recognize those that were told their vote didn't count

grrr

[Zachstar]

33. He totally skirted the issue

[Ichingcarpenter]

27. Major Put down on Nelson by Griffin

Nelson gave no facts in his presentation of the rules just emotions.

[madrchsod]

29. opps...billy boy is pissed off.....

[high density]

30. Bill Nelson sad about facts being raised.

I hate this guy.

[SharonRB]

31. Hi, all

Had to go pick up Obama tix this morning, but I'm here now and glued to the teevee. How's it been going? I saw the end of Ausman and now Nelson.

I'm so geeked to see Barack on Monday!

:woohoo:

[Windy]

39. where on Monday? I didn't get an email! n/t

[SharonRB]

88. Troy High School at 12:15, doors open at 10:30

It's a town hall, open to the public, but you need tickets. See the thread in the Michigan forum with details. Tickets are on a first-come, first-served basis until they run out.

[dana_b]

43. congrats on your tix!

this ass is pandering for votes. he does get pissed off quickly.

[SharonRB]

89. Thanks, Dana!

[H2O Man]

32. It is heating up.

That's good.

[me b zola]

44. It's getting hot, hot, hot

Nelson's response to the question of if any Dems voted in favor of breaking the DNC's rules are weak. Follow up question now.

[grantcart]

34. play the fucking tape

[Zachstar]

35. Looks like it is close to a fight!

[OnceUponTimeOnTheNet]

38. Getting Good! Just the Facts, Bill!

[shadowknows69]

36. Oh shit here it comes

[Coexist]

41. just to reiterate - I cannot believe he used Megan Foster in his argument

she is a HUGE Obama supporter - main person in the Tampa Bay O-Train.

I am still floored.

MEDIA PEOPLE - This is a good little story for you! She posts on Kos, too.

[kentuck]

42. I doubt there will be any resolution today.

I don't see anything immediate.

[dana_b]

46. ugh, I hope you're wrong

[Zachstar]

45. Spin and Excuses Keep it up asshole! The ship is sinking!

[OnceUponTimeOnTheNet]

50. Bill doesn't want to look back. Heh...

[Mist]

52. Nelson says he doesn't want to "rehash the past" BUT THAT'S AT THE

HEART OF IT ALL, it seems to me.

[Ichingcarpenter]

Nelson is an Ass and Belligerent to the Panel

The panel is not happy by their faces with him either

[high density]

47. DUDE-- The purpose of this MEETING IS TO REHASH PAST EVENTS

I can't believe people vote for this guy.

[KittyWampus]

48. Did Florida NOT Choose to take DNC offer up on holding compliant primary on later date?

[Coexist]

57. with the offer of $800,000 to help out.

[grantcart]

49. I came in unity as long as everyone agrees with me and my self promotion

[bicentennial_baby]

54. Exactly...Dude's gonna pop a vein soon

[Skidmore]

51. It seems to me that Nelson is only interested in "blood the floor."

He came to pick a fight.

[Zachstar]

53. Trying to hide his spin as "Unity"

[dana_b]

oh, you're a hero, billy

so noble.... :puke:

[Zachstar]

55. Here comes the caucus hate

[grantcart]

56. They should strip Florida of all delegates just for having Nelson speak

[dana_b]

62. lol

[OnceUponTimeOnTheNet]

Hear Hear!

[H2O Man]

70. Perhaps having Nelson

as their spokesperson is a punishment in and of itself. I was not impressed.

[w13rd0]

58. Nelson: Let's all "join together"...

...and do what I want.

ARGH! I hate caucuses! Hillary hates caucuses! You make Bill mad!

So...Nelson is who they selected to represent them? Why?

[newmajority]

59. Nelson - what a pathetic 'Puke

Funny how this guy wants to blame everything on Republicans, yet he can't stop voting with them 90% of the time.

Why is this clown a Senator anyway? He looks and sounds like he should be a televangelist on the Trinity Broadcasting Network.

[w13rd0]

65. Oh man...

...I would have paid good money to see someone ask that.

[Mist]

75. Yeah, as someone mentioned earlier, he already has the crystal meth look goin'. nt

[genna]

93. Now that I've figured out Trinity Broadcasting Network has nothing to do with TUCC I can LOL

He does have that televangelist ick that Jimmy Swaggart and Tammy Baker give me.

Yuck.

[Zachstar]

61. Putting the hate on Caucuses and spinning them not having redo caucus

[Irishonly]

63. Bill Nelson is a jerk

It's everyone else's fault.:mad:

[Zachstar]

64. Said he tried.. Tried what? To stall the process?

[dana_b]

66. that was painful

[Zachstar]

68. Finally he is done! Thank god! What an asshole!

[tridim]

77. A vote for Hillary is a vote for more Bill Nelson's in our party.

No thanks.

[Oregone]

Applause is making this into a ridiculous sideshow. Is this allowed at the SCOTUS?

This is a logic/rule decision. Its not open to emotional pleadings.

[Zachstar]

74. Exactly what I was thinking!

This is a fucking circus not a review!

[frickaline]

69. 5 is up

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x6193517

[w13rd0]

71. Joiner with the Clinton campaign up...

...don't know thats the spelling of the name.

[Zachstar]

72. A string of Clinton? Why not alternate?

[dana_b]

76. that's what I was thinking. how many does each "side" get?

[Scooter24]

73. Arthenia Joyner

this should be good

[flor de jasmim]

82. oh brother, comparing S. Africa to Florida... sigh...

[dana_b]

86. why no mention of Zimbabwe??

[Scooter24]

78. She needs to calm down..

this is a civil committee meeting, not a stump speech.

[dana_b]

81. ver... impassioned??

[David Zephyr]

80. Bill Nelson made a good case for himself. I have to give him that.

Bill Nelson is not our enemy. I'm a gigantic Obama supporter, but Senator Nelson made his case, not on behalf of Hillary, but on behalf of the millions of Democrats in Florida.

Let's hope this is resolved today and that (and this is the tough part) Hillary will agree to the outcome.

I'm not happy seeing the trashing of Senator Nelson here. I know that my candidate, Senator Obama, would not like it either.

[grantcart]

83. Well yeah except he is a duplicitous liar and misrepresents the facts

[David Zephyr]

95. I hear you, but Nelson supports the compromise that Obama does.

That's what's important. Nelson has to be an advocate for all Floridians. He did so and still supports the compromise that gives us unity (and makes Obama our nominee).

[Skidmore]

87. David, I would agree with you but then I'd have

to give up my right to criticize him when he's saying something stupid in front of the Senate. And that goes for all the legislators. I don't see how this circumstance is any different that our discussions over the legislative process we look in on.

[David Zephyr]

96. I'm with you.

Still, Senator Nelson is a great Democrat and has now publicly endorsed the compromise that essentially will make Obama our nominee. I'm cutting him a lot of slack under the circumstances.

[genna]

94. Appealing to our better natures where we don't participate in ad homimem attacks

makes sense. My sole problem with sticking to the substance is that a mediated settlement based on BHO and HRC supporters' emotions is required.


You can't get the hate out of this primary until you deal with the emotion spawned by the pain and the incitement. The less you give vent to it, the less of a united settled we would have.

[David Zephyr]

97. Thanks. This is a very good idea, Skinner.

Nelson is not our enemy. Obama will be the nominee.

I'm looking for unity now.

[dana_b]

84. more emotional points rather than presenting the logical facts. sigh

[Windy]

92. You present emotionally when the law is not on your side!! n/t

[mystieus]

85. Good god hearing these people and their speeches.... zzzz

[Politicub]

90. What a fucked up process

Sweet hairy jeezus

[michaz]

91. It is bordering ridiculous! n/t
