Roll it Up!

It was only a matter of time. When one campaigns on the dark side as Hillary Clinton has done, one will eventually consume one’s self with one’s own delusions. Dark Side may be acceptable in Republican circles, but it’s not in Democratic ones.

With the obvious exceptions amongst the Clinton die-never fringe, the Democratic voters are not in denial about Hillary’s character flaws. She has sunk her own ship with lots of help from the DLC, Billy Boy, and the almost cartoonish rabid feminazis we find on the Net.

Today, much in the way George Bush’s approval ratings slipped from around 90% to around 20%, Hillary Clinton’s greed-driven lust for power, her hostile behavior, and of course her “misspeaks” and other blatant lies have not gone unnoticed by Democrats of all stripes. Her supporters included.
She has lied, scratched, clawed, and bitten her way from “inevitable nominee” to the political graveyard.

Worth a thousand words

From ABC News:

Clinton’s personal approval rating has dipped significantly according to the latest Wall Street Journal/NBC poll, with 48 percent of Americans holding a negative view of her compared to the 37 percent who hold a positive view. For Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., the ratings are better: 49 percent positive, 32 percent negative.

Fallout over the Bosnia Betty issue? You betcha. ;)

As WhitesCreek Journal demonstrates, even the Super Delegates are waking up and taking notice of Clinton’s tasteless and demeaning methods…

Clinton tactics turn off some superdelegates

From NBC/NJ’s Matthew E. Berger
At a time when Sen. Hillary Clinton is increasingly relying on superdelegates to vault her to the Democratic Party’s nomination, a handful of undecided and pledged superdelegates are coming forward to say her campaign’s tactics in recent weeks are doing more harm than good.

The Democratic Party insiders say they believe Clinton’s direct attacks against Sen. Barack Obama in recent days are hurting the party and its chances in November, and also say it is showing a calculated, desperate-to-win side of Clinton that they dislike.

“In looking at the manner in which the candidates are campaigning, I think it would be best they focused their attention on the presumptive nominee and showed our party which one is better in campaigning against McCain,” said Garry Shay, a California superdelegate, who announced his support for Clinton.

Unlike some in the party, these superdelegates said they do not believe Clinton should drop out of the race. They said they are committed to the democratic process, and want to allow the states still remaining to cast their ballots. But they acknowledged Obama is the likely nominee and suggested the personal attacks were only hurting the party and its viability.

Democratic voters, many of whom are her supporters, are turning away from what they see as a determent to the party and our future. Super Delegates also are acknowledging the obvious.
Democrats are not stupid, and our women are the smartest in the country. They care about the party and about progressive values. They have a sense of duty to make the nation and the world a better place for their children and our future generations. They will do the right thing.
The handful that won’t? Fuck ‘em. We don’t need their fringe votes. We will acquire enough new voters and returning genuine Liberal voters to offset them and then some.

Barack Obama will be our nominee. John McCain and his party are the enemy. Our duty is clear. The sooner we put this circus of a primary behind us the sooner we can get down to the nitty gritty.

Well, well spoken. Bravo; you are correct in all you've said. I agree with the fringe voters who have fallen away: they will be replaced, and all too easily. Now if we could only get beyond Clinton completely. We need a clean and decisive break from her, and then, as you said, get down to the real and important hard work of sweeping McCain aside.

Hi, Susan.

Yep, McCockroach is getting a free pass when he should be on the hot seat. And nobody better to put him there than a united Democratic base reinforced with a Liberal Blog Swarm from hell.

But as long as we continue to remain divided by virtue of one family's incessant desire for power, we waste very valuable time and energy.

The direction of the Democratic party is a more progressive, more Liberal one. That spirit of change is entrenched now and there's no stopping it. It can, however, be delayed and my suspicion is that there's an element in the Democratic party that is against the movement.

They will fail.

Barack Obama is not perfect. In fact, he was our fourth choice when the primary began. Though the changes that Obama can bring pale in comparison to those of Dennis Kucinich, Mike Gravel and John Edwards, they will do for the next four years.

From a realist's point of view Obama will need a lot of help if he's going to have any chance at all in November. McBush is a far more formidable foe than most are giving him credit for. That's why we predicted his being the Republican nominee over a year ago.

He will be president too if we're not collectively careful. And right now we're being anything but.

I was wondering what your view is of the following (which I have been discussing for several weeks now, and have seen mirrored on various blogs, from others who had the same thought, independently of me): There are signs that the Democratic party has suffered a real, and not merely apparent, schism--and that the time is right for it's collapse, as did the Whig party before it. In its place would arise a new party of change, capable of inheriting and surpassing the old outmoded one. The sudden appearance on the historical scene of Barack Obama is a sign that the time is near; so too is the drawn out battle between Clinton and Obama. If Obama were to fail to secure the nomination, and ran as a third-party independent, he might win in the 3-way general election, forever altering the two party system. Each time this idea is proposed, it seems more inevitable that it will be fulfilled. I welcome it heartily. But what do you think?

This schism has existed for a long time now. It just hasn't had the opportunity to surface in such a bold way.

Hillary Clinton is DLC. The DLC is the Republican wing of the Democratic party.
These are the people who have sat quietly and done nothing during the Bush crime spree. They have uniformly supported the war in Iraq and Hillary Clinton has still to this day never condemned the war or the fabricated evidence used to sell it. She has never condemned the people who have committed treason against this nation.

The founder of the DLC, Will Marshall, was a member of the PNAC. In order for the Neocon to get a foot hold in the opposing party they invented the DLC and have been trying to subvert the liberalization of the Democratic party ever since.

The DLC is the enemy within, that's why it's so important that Hillary Clinton lose this election. If the DLC remains in positions of power there will be more war and more Americans will die fighting Israel's wars.

As far as third party politics is concerned, Obama will win the Dem nomination unless something incredibly ugly comes out about him or the DLC manages to buy enough super delegates.
He would never survive as a third party candidate.
He's where he is now because of Liberal White voters. Blacks do not make up enough of the party's base to do it themselves. The win in Wyoming is proof of that by it's self.
And if we are to ever have a viable third party it would have to include such as Dennis Kucinich, John Edwards, Mike Gravel, Ron Paul, etc.
Obama could fit in with them if he becomes a little more of a populist. But right now, he's pretty much got a lock on the Dem nomination as long as he doesn't fuck up.
There are still many dishonest things the DLC can do to trip him up. He must be careful not to take his eyes off of them while focusing on McCain.
