DINO (Democrat in name only) Billary Cunton -- who plans to keep fighting for the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination even after President-elect Barack Obama takes the oath of office in January 2009 -- gives the thumbs up to taking the battle for the nomination to the Democratic National Convention in August, even though Obama already has won the majority of the delegates won in primary elections and caucuses. Billary is counting on cowing the superdelegates (elected officials and other party insiders) to remain faithful to the Cunton brand name and hand her the nomination, democracy be damned.
Billary Cunton hates democracy
I tell you: I'm a fucking prophet. It was more than three years ago, in April 2005, that I wrote: "Anybody but Hillary."
Of course, I had no idea at the time how appallingly awful Hillary Clinton actually would be; she's so bad now that now I can only think of her as Billary Cunton.
Oh, she's earned the "c"-word designation.
Before the current, ridiculously protracted Democratic presidential primary season began, all of the Democratic presidential contenders, including both Barack Obama and Billary Cunton, signed a pledge not to campaign in the states of Michigan or Florida. The national Democratic Party had stripped those two states of their delegates to the national convention because those two states defied the national party by deciding to hold their primary elections earlier than the national party would allow them to.
You didn't hear Billary bitch and moan about how important Florida and Michigan were when she signed that pledge. That's because she thought that she'd have her coronation sewn up after Iowa and New Hampshire and wouldn't need Michigan and Florida anyway.
Because Billary's coronation was about as much of a cakewalk as the Bush regime's Vietraq War that she voted for was supposed to be, because the audacious upstart Obama is thrashing her entitled ass, now Billary is claiming to care so much about all of the votes being counted in Michigan and Florida -- states where Obama didn't even campaign. And Obama's name didn't even appear on Michigan's ballot, but Billary is perfectly OK with Michigan's primary election results being retroactively counted anyway.
Because, you see, she wuvs democracy so fucking much!
The Associated Press reports that Billary Cunton
... was in Florida [today], pressing to narrow her gap with Obama by having delegates counted from its contest in January.
The former first lady told supporters in Florida that they "learned the hard way what happens when your votes aren't counted and the candidate with fewer votes is declared the winner," a reference to the state's disputed presidential vote that gave George W. Bush the White House [in late 2000]. "The lesson of 2000 here in Florida is crystal clear: If any votes aren't counted, the will of the people isn't realized and our democracy is diminished."
[Obama] was just 64 delegates short of the 2,026 needed to clinch the nomination, after two superdelegate endorsements [today] and a pair of primaries the night before. Clinton thrashed him in Kentucky; he answered by winning Oregon.
Obama also secured a majority of the pledged delegates won in primaries and caucuses across the country -- a milestone that could help him persuade more superdelegates to endorse him.... Superdelegates are party insiders who are not tied to the outcome of state contests....
Democratic rule-makers meet at the end of this month to decide whether to count delegates from Florida and Michigan; the states were stripped of their delegates as punishment for holding early primaries. Clinton won both states but Obama had his name kept off the Michigan ballot and neither candidate campaigned in those states....
Obama has an overall total of 1,962 delegates, including endorsements from superdelegates. Clinton has 1,779, including superdelegates, according to the latest tally by the AP.
This AP news story notes that "Clinton insists she still sees a path to the prize by winning over superdelegates, whose support will be needed for either candidate to be clinch the nomination."
So here is Billary Cunton evoking the blatantly stolen presidential election in Florida in 2000. But she compares apples and oranges.
The Repugnicans blatantly stole the presidential vote in Florida in 2000, allowing George W. Bush to "win" the White House even though Democrat Al Gore won not only the pivotal state of Florida, but won the national popular vote by more than a half-million more votes than were cast for Bush.
The case with Florida now is that Florida's Democratic Party leaders gave the national party the middle finger when they were warned that Florida's delegates wouldn't be seated at the national convention if Florida held its primary too early. If Florida's voters have been disenfranchised, blame Florida's Democratic Party leaders. There was no election fraud this time in Florida, as there was in 2000.
And again, if Billary's heart bled so much for the Floridians, why didn't she speak up for them before the game started, when the rules of the game were being established?
Billary Cunton claims to care so much about democracy when it suits her. She sure could use Michigan's and Florida's delegates now, so suddenly she has a problem with the rules of the game that she had agreed to before the game began. Only she can't be honest about her purely selfish intent, so she has to lie through her fangs that it's all about her wuv of democracy.
Yet Cunton makes it clear that she's perfectly OK arm-twisting enough superdelegates in order to get the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination. It wouldn't faze her one fucking bit if the majority of superdelegates were stupid enough to give her their votes even though Barack Obama already has won the majority of the pledged delegates, the delegates won through the primary elections and caucuses, the delegates won the hard way: by being earned democratically.
Because, just as George W. Bush wanted to win at all costs in 2000 and thus was unfazed that he actually lost the election (he lost both Florida and the national popular vote), Billary Cunton wants to win the Democratic presidential nomination at all costs and it wouldn't faze her that Barack Obama had actually won the majority of the vote in the primary elections and caucuses yet the nomination still went to her.
Because Billary Cunton hates democracy, just like the Repugnicans do, and just like the Repugnicans do, all that she fucking cares about is power.
