Boo's got some Boos for Obama et al
Obama and some of his supporters are about the most whiney assed bunch of crybabies in recent memory.

Clinton lost Iowa. Did she cry and stomp her feet that she lost unfairly because Oprah got the buses out for out of state students to caucus? No she didn't. She picked herself up, dusted herself off and won NH and Nevada.

And what did Obama and his supporters do afterwords? Whinge, whinge, whinge about alleged voter fraud in NH and now intimidation of caucus goers in NV. Forget about the fact they can't prove any of it......they sure as hell are going to cry about it and want some sympathy because they didn't win.

I got news for ya Obama et al.......these tactics will not Unite the Democrats but serve to alienate and if they continue to piss off half the Democratic party how in the hell are they going to unite America in the challenge to kick the Repukes out of the WH?

Boofuckinghoo.........learn to lose with something resembling grace.

*go ahead.......I wore my flame suit*

5. Why should I believe Steven Rosenfeld?
AlterNet has hated the Clintons from the first day Christopher Hitchens called them baby-eating serial killers. They also coordinated a lof of the worst Nader rhetoric in 2000. This is the same thing with different proper nouns.

6. Well, for a start the Clintons by proxy were behind the lawsuits
Edited on Wed Jan-23-08 05:57 PM by AtomicKitten
filed to suppress the vote (of her opponents) in the last three states. And before you vigorously deny that, keep in mind BC's vigorous defense of same in the press and do the math.

That's voter suppression any way you slice it.

13. Team Obama also gamed voting in Nevada
First, if Obama keeps running on the Virtue and Purity ticket, he's going to face a backlash from voters far more brutal than he's prepared for.

Second, if his surrogates keep accusing Clinton of voter suppression every time they lose a primary, people are going to wonder if Obama isn't engaging in those same tactics (along with whining) and just "projecting".

There are plenty of well-attested reports that a number of Obama workers did not play fair-and-square in Nevada. Those reports will be amplified greatly if Obama makes it a campaign issue. And yes, it should be addressed. But would you rather have this problem resolved when the party reunites, or during a tough primary season, when it will be (correctly) perceived as partisan?

ALL campaigns should be subject to "spot audits" of their conduct -- with clear rules established beforehand. That way, if someone wants to tell the world that Candidate X is a liar and a cheat, there will be some real-world evidence to back it up, and not just the idle punditry and malicious gossip on which too many people make their moral judgments.

Best resolution: that everyone stop with the useless bickering and deal with the differences that the candidates have over policy and procedural issues.

18. Bubba is playing rope-a-dope.
He learned well from his GOP adversaries. He screams foul over EXACTLY what they, Clinton campaign, are doing. In Nevada, he got before every live mic and alleged that Obama was trying to suppress the vote when the truth is Clinton by proxy had filed the lawsuit to suppress the vote. And this scenario was played out in Iowa with the Des Moines Register when the Clintons tried to prevent students who live at school for most of the school year and are entitled to vote from voting. Same in NH.

And Clinton screamed voter intimidation when the Clinton camp is being spanked in NV for doing precisely what they are accusing Obama of.

Reverse demented psychology, but the pattern resonates.

These aren't isolated incidents but a pattern. A pattern of voter suppression. A pattern of voter intimidation. A pattern of an ex-president so desperate to get back in the WH that he is stirring up shit on a daily basis.

Best solution: For the sake of the democratic process, people need to look at this and see it for all its warts and worse.

8. EXCUSE ME?!?!?!?!?!
I am not an Obama supporter, but ANY allegations of Election fraud needs to be investigated. We KNOW Fraud was committed in 2000. We KNOW it was committed in 2004. WE KNOW about the problems with DRE's.

There were problems reported in both the Republican and Democratic polls. Credible reports. Any such report should be investigated thoroughly, no matter who won or lost. We must be able to regain confidence in our votes.

You should be ashamed of yourself for posting this. You sound like a Republican.

15. I don't think they've been completed.
I think I remember reading somewhere here on DU that the recounts wouldn't be completed until after Super Tuesday.
