The reports of intimidation and fraud in the caucuses were also unprecedented and largely ignored by the media and the Democratic Party. So many aspects of that primary were just shameful.

I've never personally observed the Democratic Party being so corrupt as 1) during the Rules and Bylaws Committee meeting on May 31, 2008, and 2) when attacking Bill Clinton as a racist for telling the truth about Obama not opposing the Iraq War (he wasn't a member of Congess - his claim was a "fairy tale") It's hard to care that the repubs are accused of lying.

Many of us will not, under any circumstances, vote for Obama. <br /><br />Many so-called journalists have destroyed their reputations and credibility, by functioning as cheerleaders for Obama. Worse, they violated the public trust, and relinquished their roles as guardians of democracy, preferring instead, to act as guardians of Obama.<br /><br />Thanks for this reminder of the 2008 primary from hell. We should never forget how democratic leaders assaulted democracy, and gifted the nomination to Obama.freespirithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07162717717313596684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3820377390281203107.post-23773785764961633952012-09-04T09:45:23.509-07:002012-09-04T09:45:23.509-07:00Having won in 2008 with Obama, the narrative is be...Having won in 2008 with Obama, the narrative is being re-written by the victors to overlook the details.<br /><br />It did not help that the columnists Maureen Dowd and Gail Collins were enthralled with Obama and trashed Hillary. I think that they have buyers remorse, but they cannot admit being taken in by the con man Obama.<br /><br />I once considered myself a Democrat, now I say that I am a liberal. I will vote for Obama this time because he seems to be the lesser of two evils.Marnoreply@blogger.com
