Few realize how dangerously close America came to discarding its way of government during its last presidential cycle. Had Al Gore not finally conceded America could have entered very murky territory. The kind of territory where power isn't voluntarily handed over. However, an even more dangerous event is on the horizon.
Hillary could well be on a path that could prove to be very dangerous. It's hard for most to understand how badly the Clintons want back in power. It might well be the Florida and Michigan fiascos were engineered by the Clinton campaign in conjunction with the DNC (which will eventually capitulate to the Clintons commands for those precious delegates) as a sort of backup plan. It looks like they will indeed be calling in those markers. However, that is not true danger as undemocratic as that maybe.
The Clinton campaign could be contemplating "stealing" the nomination from Obama using very undemocratic tactics such as what we see happening with Florida and Michigan, and it would seem they are now lobbying delegates of all kinds, including those that originally went for Obama. So what's the danger?
The Democratic Party is supposed to be party of the minorities, especially black voters. However, the Hillary camp, if it succeeds, will clearly have stolen the nomination, and likely the Presidency from the very first black candidate, Barack Obama. The black voter will see this for what it truly is, a Good Ol' boy network yanking the carpet out from under their feet, against their will, discarding their votes, and what will ensue will be cataclysmic rioting and outrage as has not been seen in America before. The black voters of America will have been shafted by their own party and this will cut very deeply. It will truly be the crime of century.
The Clintons are desperate for the White House, while much talk has been made about a brokered convention, I dare say that could be the best outcome, indeed, a far more dangerous event is looming on the horizon, one that could be avoided if a sense of Honor, Democracy, and Fair Play were simply obeyed.
Where one man sees danger, I see an opportunity to eat popcorn and watch.
We can hope.
WHat’s the problem, didn’t I hear that Hillary knows what’s best for us?
Let all the poisons that lurk in the mud, hatch out!
How do you loom "towards" something?

Hello?
Al Gore wasn't in the last Presidential election.
More Clinton legacy.
We are headed towards the perfect storm it ain’t gonna be pretty
lol, pass the butter
You are correct. This could be very dangerous. I do NOT look forward to a season of race riots just because Hillary has to have her way on this. (But note: I am not supporting Obama, either.)
It’s no coincidence that Hillary’s DC home is called WhiteHaven.
I don't understand this statement. I thought that the post was about the Democrat party.
The party will rally around Obama, and this hand wringing will be but an uncomfortable memory.
Let the games begin!
Nothing could be more fun than the dims rioting in the streets.
Maybe I’ll sign up on some lefty sites and start pushing their buttons.
Wish you folks who are so enjoying this spectacle might consider the dangerous ramifications of this. Having been through race riots in the past, I do not consider them enjoyable. What Hillary seems to be contemplating could spark something very much like what I saw back then. Keep your stinkin’ popcorn.
Better get our tin foil hats.
