This gets sleazier by the minute........

[freekitty]

No way should these trash ever gain control of America.

Man, every time you turn around Barry Obama is kicking Hillary Clinton in the groin.

How much longer are the feminists going to take this?

[TexasNative2000]

This is beyond belief.

And all of this is because the delegates are too cowardly to stand up and pick a candidate.

"My view is we need to come together as a party," DeGette said. "I admire Hillary Clinton greatly, but I think it would be divisive to have a vote on the floor. We need to have a unanimous vote."

And where's Algore when you need him? Count every vote!!!!

[blondee123]

Really hard to believe the Clinton's, of all people, are going to sit back & let them kick them while they are down.

I know the Dem politicians rally around their chosen one, but I thought the Clinton's had some cajones!!!

What’s Obama afraid of ?

Have a proper convention prime time roll call like in past years, it’s what they’re there to do !

Best thing Hitlary supporters could do at this stage of the game is to vote for McCain giving him the win. This would perfectly set her up for another chance in 2012. Rats don’t give thier nominee’s a second chance so this would END BHO’s dreams of ever winning the presidency.

A Hitlary nomination at this point would fracture the party too badly for them to win. An Odumbo win puts off her re-attempt till 2016 which would be too late.

Oh, please, please, please do it!!

"I admire Hillary Clinton greatly, but I think it would be divisive to have a vote on the floor. We need to have a unanimous vote."

Since when is it "divisive" to have a contested election and have every vote counted?

Only totalitarian countries have "unanimous votes".

Ms. DeGette's reasoning is very illustrative of liberal thought.

If unanimity was so important, why did the Democrats insist on serial recounts in Florida in 2000?

He woke up and felt the point of Hillarys dagger in his ribs. She not down by that many votes.

With Michigan and Florida seated how many Super delegates does she need to switch for her to be the nominee.

[Bubba_Leroy]

Selected not elected.

When the convention opened up earlier today they introduced the parliamentarian of the convention. She was reading certain rules to the delegates and one was that no vote would be taken by proxy. Only votes by actual delegates on the floor, or alternates. So there will be no voting from the hotel rooms. Unless they vote to allow voting from the hotel rooms. In that case, why have a convention? They could just vote from home.

Have a proper convention prime time roll call like in past years, it’s what they’re there to do !

Haven't you heard the WORD? CHANGE!!! They can't do what they've always done.........

[TexasNative2000]

Don’t you just love that arrogant look down the nose? What a snob.

[SAJ]

How long?

Effectively, forever. Why?

Because no other party in the world, other than the 'Rats, has abortion as its semi-official sacrament.

[pankot]

Well, Hillary, how does it feel to get thrown under the bus?

[Wally_Kalbacken]

Ida ho, de state wid mo po-tateahz that de rest ode werld all addified togeddah....

[Snurple]

lmao, they are trying to contain the coup. Damn, what does this tell you? It tells me they are scared shitless something ugly may happen and want desperately to contain it. PUMA is right! These jokers are not even sure what may happen.
