attn: wingnuts

I'm not ready to concede anything; I'm too busy following the lawsuit in Nevada.

Democrats, my ass.

 

Rules certainly should not apply.

 

I lost my decoder ring.

 

There are serious 9th amendment grounds for this suit. They may not prevail -- in fact, I don't think they will -- but it's more than just nan-na-na-boo-boo politics. And politics ain't beanbag, son.

 

Serious 9th amendment grounds that only came up after the "wrong" candidate won the CWU endorsement, though, right? And couldn't you make that claim about any caucus process, really?

Come on, Fenian. At some point, you're going to have to admit that Hillary's campaign is slimier than hell.

Working to keep the vote down in at least two states now, and you're going to defend this shit? Come on, man.

Why doesn't his faith come into question like the wingnuts of the right side?

 

It has, in several false e-mails, which the link you just posted has debunked. Did you even read your own link?

 

You reek of fail.

 

If the endorsement had gone the other way, would Obama have allowed the extra caucuses? Be honest. I hope he wouldn't have. And there are equal-protection questions about these special caucuses. As I said, they probably won't prevail, but they're there. And "suppressing the turnout in two states"? How? Where? God help the Magical Mystery Tour when it runs into actual voter-suppression experts and don't have the Hildebeast any more to keep the wingnuts at bay.

 

A former sitting president out on the campaign stump telling college students they shouldn't caucus.

That's suppressing turnout. It's bullshit, it's wrong, and if you were a college student or if your son or daughter went to school in Iowa you'd think it was bullshit, too. Hell, I bet you think it's bullshit right now.

The naievete meme wears increasingly thin.

 

Then the Obama campaign should stop acting like fainting virgins every time somebody plays actual politics. The guy got a walkover Senate win in Illinois and now, Jesus Mary, you talk about entitled. One win in Iowa and a week's worth of fawning press from a press corps hardwired to despise the other contender, and one primary loss starts these people raving like somebody stole the little red wagon. The only reason the Right has laid off is because they hate HRC more than they do almost anyone else. As soon as she's gone, it'll be bombs away, and all the reaching-across-the-aisles-we-are-one-nation bullshit isn't going to help.
Here's a liberal lawyer on the merits of the Nevada lawsuit.

So, to be perfectly clear, you're OK with Hillary Clinton trying to tamp down turnout in Iowa and Nevada among groups she doesn't think will support her?

That's "just politics" in your eyes?
