DNC Superdelegate Puts His Vote Up For Sale Steven Ybarra Wants $20 Million For His Vote SACRAMENTO, Calif. (CBS13) ― In this tight battle for the Democratic nomination we've heard a lot about the candidates courting superdelegates.

But, one superdelegate is courting the candidates. He says he'll sell his vote for a price. A very high price: $20 million.

Steven Ybarra of Sacramento says that eight-figure price is peanuts for the presidency.

"Isn’t this what happened to Rome?"

I had the same thought. However, to all those who think that the vote selling is illegal, remember that this is a Private Party Vote, not a Federal Election Vote. Would it be illegal for a stock owner to sell his voting interest at a shareholder meeting? No. A poltical party vote is much the same thing. Not illegal, just unethical. Unethical is par for the course when it comes to the 'Rats.

And you can be sure that all of the superdelegates are selling their votes in one way or another. Most are probably asking for future earmarks, committee assignments, federal jobs for relatives, a retirement as an ambassador somewhere, etc.

“This item tells everyone all he needs to know about democrat(ic politicians).”

(If I may assume that’s what you meant )


Yes. It tells us they’re all whores. High-rent low-class, but whores.

So....

On one hand we have the expenses of a campaign for travel,staff, advertising, stumping,wardrobe, etc.

Then, we have the part of giving money to Delegates.

With so much rhetoric over McCain-Feingold campaign laws, when it really gets down to the nitty-gritty, the phrase ‘democratic vote’ gets thrown out the window, as long as as the cash is ‘shoveled in’ the window.

Well I at least give the man credit. He is exposing the blatant hypocrisy loud and clear.

Maybe he’d settle for a quickie with Hillary?

Oops. It’s a democrat, so.... a quickie with Obama?

“Super Delegate votes can’t legally be sold, can they?”

Super Delegates
Delegates
Voting blocs
Influential race leadership
Influential corporate leadership
Oranized Religion
Voters (The democratic theme that says ‘vote for me and I’ll give you health care for free(but it aint).
Walking Money.
Free Cigarettes and Booze.


Everything on that list says VOTE FOR SALE.

Even if it were illegal, it would only be illegal for Republicans.

Your mention of democRAT Stupordelegates in the same sentence as the word "Ho" reminds me ...... There have been news blurbs from the local Denver media on how the sex industry plans to make windfall profits this summer when the convention is in town. No word yet on whether the lion's share of the sex $ will go to hetero- or homo- sexual hookers.

OTOH, I'm looking at the fact that the single biggest special interest bloc within the Dim Party is the NEA. So with all these Dim teachers in town, I wouldn't be surprised if the demand for junior high and high school aged hookers will skyrocket? After all, the more rounds of balloting they have to endure in a deadlocked convention day after day, the longer these educators will be separated from their "young meat" ..... errrr, excuse me, I meant to say their "favorite pupils" back home.

I’m sure the NEA and NAMBLA will find common ground... in fact, they already have...

Peanuts. One day in the cattle pits for Hillary will get that sum.
