HRC member of DLC doing what dirtier wing of the Dem party does

Normally I would not think of flaming a candidate, but the circumstances have changed. This is dirty politics and HRC is right in the middle of it. There are now three prongs and possibly four on the fork to shove HRC down America's throat. This is the same nasty tactics used against Dean in 2004, but this time it's bigger than normal because Obama and Edwards have sound financial bases. And, what you are seeing is the tawdry, cheap, underhanded politics that got the Democrats thrown out before. The DLC (and HRC) just will not learn.

First and second, the Florida and Michigan primaries where HRC is the only candidate to remain on the ticket. Imagine being the only candidate on a ticket that is going to be shoved on the Democratic party. In MI the Dem governor is out with others that they should vote for HRC, in Florida it's Bill Nelson leading the charge (he emailed me). In both states once HRC was the only candidate legal action was brought against against the Democratic Party itself. In FL it was by Bill Nelson (Sen: FL asshat). He assured a lot of people that he could ramrod this through and guarantee a Clinton victory.

Third is Nevada. Now that the Culinary Union backed Obama the DLC team through their proxies have gone to work. This action is having the Nevada State Education Association file suit to strip the at-large caucus sites. Now I would not give a shit except that it drags the good standing of classroom teachers into the mud with Hillary Clinton and the DLC. (If you are unionized teacher call your state and have them call national and have NEA shut down Nevada State Education Association suit.) Here's a warning, if teachers wish to get involved in undermining elections your pay and standing can go to hell.

The last, (this one is a stretch) since we have seen the extent that the DLC will go to manipulate a primary for their chosen candidate, it is now possible that the NH elections were indeed rigged.

Think on this when you talk about the "ethics" of HRC.
