Statement by Senator Hillary Clinton on the Seating of Delegates at the Democratic National Convention
Press release from Hillary for President
“I hear all the time from people in Florida and Michigan that they want their voices heard in selecting the Democratic nominee.
“I believe our nominee will need the enthusiastic support of Democrats in these states to win the general election, and so I will ask my Democratic convention delegates to support seating the delegations from Florida and Michigan. I know not all of my delegates will do so and I fully respect that decision. But I hope to be President of all 50 states and U.S. territories, and that we have all 50 states represented and counted at the Democratic convention.
“I hope my fellow potential nominees will join me in this.
“I will of course be following the no-campaigning pledge that I signed, and expect others will as well.”
Wild Thing’s comment……..
Both Michigan and Florida were penalized delegates by the DNC for moving forward in the calendar against party rules. Clinton won Michigan unopposed, and is expected to win Florida as well. By now asking that all these delegates be seated, Clinton is trying to grab extra votes at the convention that shouldn’t be competed for. If Obama would have won she would not be doing this. The Clintons CHEAT!
More very dirty tricks by the Clinton’s to try to win. Maybe the Clinton Campaign is seeing REAL TROUBLE on the Horizon for FEB. 5, and are trying to lock this up, now. The rest of this year is going to be unbelievably nasty.
One of the stuntmen a friend of Nick’s sent this link to from Daily KOS oh my gosh. LOL They have a thread there called…”Hillary Clinton to Howard Dean: Screw you.” and as of right now there are 1190 comments in the thread and they are furious. hahahaha
Intro to thread
….”Hillary Clinton’s campaign is actively and, for the first time, openly seeking to undermine Howard Dean.
The context, of course, is the seating of the Michigan and Florida delegations. Where no one has campaigned. And, in the case of Michigan, where Clinton was the only one on the ballot.
And where the DNC made a decision, at great cost and pain, to strip them of delegates for violating party rules.
But, rules don’t apply if they don’t help the Clintons”
Where oh where does Frau Shicklegruber get her East German Democratic Peoples Republic …
pantsuits? In Myrtle Beach there were a few ‘behind’ stage shots of her and her fashion statement is a travesty! Her butt is bigger than the Giza Pyramids as well…. – Her Thighness 2008?
They did this on purpose!
So that Hitlery would win.
The Clinton Machine holds no regards for anyone
but themselves. Cheating, lying, I’m so above you attitude. I hate those kind of people.
They have no integrity and I can’t for the life of me understand why people want them back.
When are we going to wake up–when we get attacked again and again?
This is for real, folks. Hitlery ain’t a saint. She’s worse than Bill. You want your rights taken away?
The daily KOS is not happy with the Clintons. Suddenly, the clintons are in second place with some of the moonbats.
This sounds like an internal struggle for power. And the Clintons are the target of their struggle. The more this struggle continues the better off everybody is. Hopefully it will splinter their party into many factions. It has all the trappings of a good Cat fight, since, they are too effeminte to considered dogs. Right now, there seems to be two groups the Obama’s and the Clintons and the more they fight the better.
Better yet would be a fracture where Obama would run as a third party candidate. That would be the best of both worlds. But it could happen.
What are the historians going to make of this moment? Both parties are unravelling. The Democrats because the Clintons were always just a merangue of fantasy. There’s nothing Democrats like more than fantasy, and nothing less substantial.
The Republicans, I think, are in worse shape because of Dubya. At least the Clintons were consistent with their dream world, where Dubya has alienated everyone who put him in office, and fractured the party for fool’s gold.
As Peggy Noonan said, Dubya treated the party as if he owned it. He’s done the same with the nation. Sad to say, I think the Democrats have a better chance of gathering around a candidate than we do.
Fun reading those comments. A lot of liberals are as disatisfied with their politicians as we are with ours. I wish all voters would unite and demand term limits.
Rhod- get ready! Dubya is going to Africa in February to give more of our $$ away and get us involved in the worst messes on the planet. He has already stated he plans to at least double his pledges of money to fight AIDS and poverty in Africa. Guess he will put on a loincloth and ostrich feather headdress and do a spear dance. Bush may do more harm to America in his lame duck year than in his previous 7 years. OMG!!
Tom, I’d like to be ready, but this fool will surprise me again.
No doubt he’ll be shovelling money and credits to some corrupt regime to ease his heart over the calamities caused by fate, backwardness and tyrants.
Bush isn’t a President any longer, Tom, he’s a philanthropist.
I am no longer surprised, but still amazed, at the stupidity of so many people who continue to “believe” and support the Clintons. It is like a communicable disease spreading faster than HIV/AIDs and no less terminal. How deaf, dumb, and blind have people become that they can’t see this Clinton war machine for what it is — pure sleaze and narcissistic behavior with Bill and Hillary thinking of themselves as the King and Queen of the United States of Socialist Republics (USSR)?
Republicans, instead of being the antidote, have abandoned their core conservative principles and become a party dominated by Democrat-lite (aka losers).
The Bride of Studinstein just got her fat *ss pantsuit bottom kicked in by Obamamania in SC tonight by a 2:1 margin! WOW!! She barely beat out John Boy Opee Edwards for 2nd place, and the Clintonistas dissed the press and flew out to Nashville EARLY in the evening!!! Poor little OLD Hellary / Hitlery and Her Thighness….
Darth, giggle. Nick said he was going to start to count how many times the camerman was aiming his camera at her butt during the Dem debate the other night. hahahaha
Lynn, I agree they don’t do anything by accident.
Mark, LOL I agree, Their fighting will be endless and get worse too as time goes on. And Edwards looks like he is sticking in there just in case the two of them Hillary and Obama shoot each other. hahha
Rhod I agree so much,and Bush could care less which makes it even worse about the things he has done.
Tom, YIKES he is going to do that? OH Nooooooo! Help us!!!!
“Guess he will put on a loincloth and ostrich feather headdress and do a spear dance.”….LMAO good one!
Les, that is true and it concerns me a lot.
Darth wasn’t it something! I sat there watching the numbers grow like crazy leaving her so far behind.
PS: You nailed it WT & Nick: “So far BEHIND!”
I do not make fun of 99% of homosapians… BUTT as for Hellary ‘Her Thighness’ Clinton – GAME ON!!! The Myrtle Beach DNP Debate cameraman must have turned to stone from the Medussa behind the scene views…Her pantsuits are bursting at the seems and the way she buttons up her suit coat all the way to her jowls…. EEE GADS!
Darth, LOL
Love the EEE GADS
