It’s Getting Scary

Posted on 06/01/2008 at 11:15 am by Bob Cesca

Taylor Marsh has lost her shpedoinkel:

You [the Rules & Bylaws Committee] have no idea what you’ve done. The fury you have unleashed. Your arrogance is topped only by your ignorance and the sheer stupidity of this “compromise,” which sends a message that you just don’t get it. Oh, and by the way, you’ve also likely just thrown the 2008 election.

Taking myself out of the equation, as well as my support for Clinton which is unending, and to encapsulte the carnage wrought by Saturday’s idiocy, you have simply given Hillary’s supporters the reason they were craving. Outraged already, many of Hillary’s supporters were waiting for a reason to raise a ruckus, and you just gave them one. A righteous one. They were already screaming for Clinton to go to Denver. Now the decibel level is ear shattering.

[...]

Honestly, you have no idea the fuse that’s now been lit. But to give you an idea. I’m in the minority on my own blog when it comes to pushing back against a McCain presidency. This didn’t happen because of anything Clinton did, my friends. You all cemented it all by yourselves. Oh, with the help of some eager, power hungry people thinking they can push the Clintons out of the Democratic Party and take over without half of the people who support the Clintons signing on.

Another indication that the Clinton faction will ultimately split from the Democratic Party. They now have an excuse — however specious — to demonize the party itself. To quote Gandalf: “The board is set and the pieces are moving.”

The strategy:

1) Target the party as misogynists and election thieves.
2) Continue to paint Senator Obama as a weakling McGovern type.
3) Continue to fight and appear, in contrast, “strong”.
4) Split from the party, or conduct an active write-in campaign for November.
5) Pull enough votes away from Senator Obama to give Senator McCain the win.
6) Run again in 2012.

I hope I’m wrong.

    It amazes me that Clinton’s “women” would vote for anyone other than a Democrat! These are the very same women that will sit back, cry, wring their hands, and protest when a Prez. McCain picks his Supreme Court and Roe is overturned.Hillary AND her supporters have pushed the gains the woman’s movement have made back on its heels for at least a decade. Hillary AND her supporters are also making it that you won’t see another female running for the position of POTUS any time soon.(by the way – I am a white retired woman so I get to voice an opinion! I am ashame and resent what has happened recently from the Clinton campaign.)

    “It’s not a question of whether Clinton has a course of action. She does. It’s not even whether it’s worth it. Hillary’s supporters may demand it. In addition, by this ruling you have sent a message to Clinton supporters that could reverberate well beyond this year.Over 4 delegates.”Yep. Twas the plan all along for people like Marsh. We’ll have a “Clinton Party” by the end of the summer. Fuckin’ twat.

    Peggy Noonan wrote a great piece on Hillary’s campaign last week. It was brilliant. Google it. She talks about the great female leaders of the world and how they compare to Hillary.

    I hope you’re wrong too, Bob. Taylor Marsh undermines her own argument. If “4 delegates” is such a small number, why is she making such a big deal about it? The MI DEMOCRATIC PARTY came up with the 69-59 compromise. So, the Clinton campaign now flatly disregards the state party’s wishes because they know better. Well, that’s just typical. Earlier in the campaign she said that Michigan “wouldn’t count,” and now, according to the Clinton-sanctioned “reality,” halving the votes is “disenfranchisement.” These people’s mantra, “He can’t win,” will become a self-fulfilling prophecy. They have worked themselves up into such a fury that not only do they reject Obama, but they will vote for McCain! 100% emotionally-based, revenge voting. Idiots!

    Seriously, give her the 4 delegates and make her go away!

    Taylor Marsh hasn’t HAD her shpedoinkel in a long time… especially when it comes to Hillary.Ms. Clinton could butcher a baby at high noon in the center of Washington Square, and Taylor Marsh would clap and huzzah because it was Hillary accomplishing the deed.The woman is completely batshit nuts.

    Where was Hillary when she signed the petition and agreed to not campaign nor seat the MI & FL delegates? She was uncompromising in her position in Michigan because she needs an argument to keep this thing going.Despite today’s press indicating that she is leaning towards dropping out- I will believe it when I see it. I think she’s going to take this to the DNC and attempt to create enough chaos in the same manner that the Republicans did in the 2000 Recount.Such a shame.

    I hope Hillary and her peckerwood husband do leave the party. The party doesn’t need them. Those people have much less of a constituency than pundits think. Hillary may will draw the bitter, irrational feminist vote, but I think that’s a very small population — probably not worth an electoral vote. She’ll also draw the cracker vote, maybe, but half those people would be McCain voters otherwise. Also, Hillary is in bondage with a flock of amazing albatrosses: her reputedly promiscuous husband and all the geniuses who have led her down the low road by her nose over the past 6 months. In 4 years, the Liebercrats will be officially what they truly are today: Republicans.

    I was never one to want to “push” Hillary out of the race. Although I did think she should voluntarily withdraw. This was after it became apparent that her chances were very slim. And then as they become virtually non-existent.I think Hillary must have realized long ago that she wasn’t going to be the party’s nominee, but she has deceived her followers with phony arguments and rationales and counted on them not to understand or to believe the math.What has been so maddening and insulting to the rest of us is the Alice in Wonderland illogic and magical thinking that the Clintons have been promoting. By planting unrealistic expectations and distorted unrealities in the heads of her followers, she has helped drive them over the edge so that they have become batshit nutty radicals! The more she closes the popular vote gap, the more frustrated, angry and demented they become.They will blame the DNC, Obama, the media, and the entire male gender… everybody but the true culprits – Bill and Hillary Clinton.

    I feel like an enabler when I read about her antics and comment upon them. It’s time to treat her and her supporters like an alcoholic family member: offer support if they behave, but ignore them or throw them out if they fall off the wagon.They will have the power to limit our happiness only if we give it to them. Don’t buy them another bottle, don’t clean up their messes, and don’t make excuses or take responsibility for their anti-social behavior. It’s time for Hillary and company to hit bottom.
