I'm turning Republican........

...well, almost.

The Republicans got their nomination wrapped up. They appear in control, united, organized and together.

Wonderful!

And here we are - the Democratic Party looking like schlubbs, unorganized, divided, slugging each other - not being able to get it together if our own ass was on fire!

Business as usual! It makes me wanna hurl.

The Republicans suck - but at least they suck united!!!

1. Please don't fall for the media talking points.

5. I'm not.......

.....I know that Obama is still ahead and will most likely stay ahead in Delegate counts. Mathematically it is virtually impossible for Hillary to get the numbers.

I'm just saying that, once again, we look like an unruly, undisciplined and divided bunch who cannot come together because blind, individual ambition trumps the interest of the Party as a whole.

2. I don't belong to an organized political party. I'm a Democrat.

It was Will Rogers who said that.

3. Wasn't Rush just on the air telling people to vote for Hillary? 

Seems to me these are right wing talking points?

4. I prefer to belong to the party of thinkers rather than the lemming party

I expect members of my party to be independent thinkers rather than a mass of governed lemmings who can't think for themselves and follow whoever the designated leader is straight off a cliff. I never understand (sic) who Republicans are complemented (sic) on being united when half the time they function as lemmings.

I dunno.

I doubt the morgue primitive would meet the intellectual standards of the Republican party, and so the morgue primitive is best off with the lemming party.

6. Come on...we have two strong candidates--no matter how you put it--who are trying to beat the hell out of the repubs. A black man and a white woman...running for President...come on, they did great last night--both of them---and they are making great strides in trying to bring this country to the 21st century. We ain't there yet, by a long shot, but at least there has been some progress.

Quit looking at the glass as "half-empty."

7. Government Of The People Is Messy

Since the repukes don't believe in the gov't of the people, it's easy for them to stay organized. The fundamental premise of democracy is irrelevant to them.

8. The reason the Democrats suck...

Is because people would rather come in D.U. and bash one candidate against the other.

No one in here seemed to be happy that we had two competent people both fit to take on the presidency.

I posted earlier in the month...this should not be a bashing fest.

Democrats really need to unite and quit dividing. I have always attributed Republican success with they stand united in whoever their party represents. Even on the lower levels.

We all should be "backing" our party period. Instead of giving the Republican ammo to use against us.

This is in the top ten most stupid DUmbass posts I have ever read.   

Government Of The People Is Messy

This is true when normal people are fighting socialists who wish to dismantle our republic in favor of some authoritarian "democracy" where liberals get to make up the rules as they go along.

Since the repukes don't believe in the gov't of the people, it's easy for them to stay organized.

Projection aside, it is just easier for intelligent mature thinkers to to organize.  Liberals will never catch on to this fact.  So few of them are intelligent mature thinkers.

The fundamental premise of democracy is irrelevant to them.

Well, the Republicans are not the ones with a candidate who said, "We will have to take things away from you on behalf of the common good."

5. I'm not.......

.....I know that Obama is still ahead and will most likely stay ahead in Delegate counts. Mathematically it is virtually impossible for Hillary to get the numbers.

Waya is not much of a mathematician.   There's plenty of time and a good chance that Hillary can win the nomination.

I just saw on Drudge that, for Hillary to get the nomination, she'd need to get 97% of the remaining pledged delegates.  Then again, Obama would have to get 77% of the same group.

Yet, there are the superdelegates . . .

Yes, as BadCat noted above, it'll likely drag out to the convention.  Which will cost them more money (which, unfortunately they have) to fight for the nomination.

Anyone know off-hand whose convention is first this year?  I'd love to see the Dems infighting until August or September.

I believe the Dems go first, but their convention is the last week of August.

It's my understanding that, traditionally, the party out of the White House always has their national nominating convention before the party in the White House, but I could be wrong.

But when plumbing the memory back to the 1920s, that seems the case; the "outs" first, and then the "ins."
