| So what are they so afraid of that feel they have to use these sorts of lies and intimidation to bring our party's delegates in line?
And what are they so afraid of that they feel they need to oppose an honest and open vote which includes both of our great candidates in the roll call at the convention? What's up with this push for a roll call that excludes the candidate who won the most primary votes in our party's history, and represents over 18 million of us?
I mean seriously - are they that worried that if Hillary's on the ballot, we may in fact have convinced enough delegates and superdelegates that the best thing for our nation right now is to go with the one Democrat who will wrest control of the White House from the republicans, and get down to the vitally important work of heading off the economic meltdown that's building now - even as we type?
Ahhhhhhh... hang on now - I think I see what's got them up all night with worry. They really are starting to sense a groundswell of support for Hillary. They're afraid that the delegates will stop being ruled and controlled by fear, and are ready to break away and back a winner. They're afraid that the delegates will stand up to the intimidation and bully tactics coming out of Chicago, and will tell those who call with threats to their political career one thing (that they'll vote for BHO), and then go to the convention and do the exact opposite (vote for Hillary) and the fall-out be damned.
The economic health of this nation is more important.
Stopping the foreclosures is more important.
Providing people with real options and access when it comes to healthcare is more important.
Bringing our troops out of Iraq is more important.
And ya know what? The delegates are starting to understand that NONE of this will happen with BHO as our nominee. You need to win the White House back before you can get down to doing the work for the people - rather than for the big corporate interests.
So yeah - the thugs up in Chicago are getting more than a little worried. They're in over their head and they know the delegates are starting to take a fresh look at Hillary.
The real question is this - what's that say about BHO's potential as having a leadership style that differs in any way shape or form from that of Bush's if he's employing these tactics now, before he's our nominee?
Donna Brazile likes to talk about the things her momma taught her. Well here's a bit of wisdom from my mom...
Girl if he's less than sweet to you when he's courting you, don't expect it to get any better once you're married.
Delegates - if he's pushing you around with intimidation, lies and - in some cases threats now, don't expect it to get any better if he (by some miracle) manages to beat McCain in November and becomes our next President.
Seriously - we've endured that kind of garbage from Bush and Cheney for 8 years. Please don't saddle us with another administration that rules with a heavy fist while they arrange deck chairs on the Titanic.
