Pelosi on CNN...Party SuperDelegates Must Decide the Candidate |
|
She says she disagrees with Donna Brazille that the "People Must Decide."
She's saying the State Party Delegates should have priority over the VOTERS!
Blitzer asks if we could have a Hillary/Obama ticket and Nancy giggles and stutters and says...she says it will be a "good decision" whoever is elected...but obviously doesn't want a Clinton/Obama ticket.
Is anyone WATCHING THIS? SHE IS DREADFUL...(Excuse my shouting) but I thought I was listening to a Fool! Stammering, stuttering and giggling...and backtracking.
Blitzer says he will have an Exclusive Interview with Pelosi at 11:00 a.m. this Sunday on his show.

If my math is right, there are 800 super delegates, and 3200 pledge delegates.
That means that the super delegates are only 20% of the vote. So if Pelosi said they are more important, they are clearly not, even by DNC rules.
Second, 800 is way too many. 800 super delegates is 800 people, and 3200 pledged delegates is what, 25 million people
There's no way that's a just system.

25. You know I liked her better than "Hide Under the Table Harry" but I'm |
|
having darker thoughts. When she dissed "Code Pink" for hanging "laundry in her Shrubbery" and quipped that if their "T-Shirts" with "Impeach Bush/Cheney" gave them Freedom of Speech rights they wouldn't have if they were "homeless and she could run them off their property" I was shocked and saddened. But, it seems Pelosi nor her staff see themselves the way the Liberal Blogospher sees HER...
There is something very wrong with her. She acts like a Matron presiding over a PTA MEETING, rather than the LEADER of the HOUSE where Democratic Voters and Supporters have been in total ANGST since "Selection 2000!"
NANCY DOESN'T SEE US OUT HERE! (excuse my shouting) but she's stressed me so much to the MAX....I can't control myself! :nuke:

I can picture the "NO ONE TOLD ME ABOUT THE SUPERDELEGATES!" placards now. :eyes:
Srsly people, get a grip. Superdelegates wasn't some secret, unknown factor going into this primary season. If you didn't know about it, and didn't know how it affects the election process, than that is YOUR fault, not the PARTY'S fault.
Ignorance is no excuse.

were NOT successful. Remember the DU Wars that A.N.S.W.E.R. and United for Peace and Justice were Left Wing Communist Organizations and those of us who took time out of our lives to attend their rallies were weenies who were tools of the Socialists? :shrug: Remember that?

Edited on Thu Feb-07-08 06:33 PM by tritsofme
however that same candidate has several hundred thousand fewer primary votes?
That will be the interesting conundrum.

Just because things didn't go their way. Pelosi never suggests here that they should count toward the nomination, and your obsession continues to show.

22. i'm lazy...i'll just repeat what i said yesterday... |

oh well, hell....i didn't realize the parties made their own rules.:sarcasm: I think everyone understands that. Or maybe that is exactly what I'm talking about. Where do you begin to accept 'rules' that impose restraints on the very core concepts of your society? 'That's the way it is' is nothing but a cop-out and a surrender by the truly un-involved. Posting and blogging is SO easy for all of us...yeah, we want CHANGE...but we don't want to change anything. -- Nancy ain't part of any change that's going to happen. The Democratic Party needs to come back to the people. Super-delegates, my ass. We need leadership, not because we are sheep, but because our power needs to have vision and direction.

I knew she didn't give a shit about us. Ever since she said impeachment was off the table.
I said it, and I mean it. If our vote doesn't decide who the Dem candidate is, I'm done with politics. I'm never voting again.
