Didn't I warn you that Hillary was a Stalinist?

Here is what slimy dick has to say about the Clintons' behavior as they see the nomination slipping away from them:

February 21, 2008 -- Barack Obama's victory in Wisconsin on Tuesday was just the latest sign that Hill ary Clinton's desperate, anti-democratic moves to salvage her bid for the Democratic nomination are destroying her last chances to win a fair fight.

Loudly and publicly, the Clintons proclaim that superdelegates should feel free to ignore the wishes of the folks back home and jam Hillary's nomination through at the convention. They openly predict that they'll demand the seating of the Michigan and Florida delegations, totally contravening the party's rules.

Do they think the voters aren't listening to these authoritarian pronouncements, reminiscent of the days before the McGovern Commission reforms brought democracy to the Democratic Party?

The Clintons' approach is driving voters into Obama's arms in droves. What better example of what he calls "old-style Washington politics" than the use of superdelegates to nullify the will of the voters?

National tracking polls show Obama gaining almost daily - and all now put him in the lead. That reflects popular anger at the Clintons' tactics.

If the Clintons actually follow through on their threats, the uprising of rank-and-file Democrats will bring back memories of the 1968 demonstrations in Chicago's Lafayette Park, which forced the party to adopt democratic reforms in the first place.

But the fact that they're alienating voters so massively while voting's still underway makes it less and less likely that they'll be able to force the convention's hand.

Particularly pernicious is the Clintons' demand that Florida and Michigan delegates be seated at the convention. Obama and John Edwards went along with the party's request to avoid those primaries because the locals had dared to vault ahead of the states planning votes on Super Tuesday.

In fact, Florida's Democratic primary drew hundreds of thousands of votes less than the GOP primary - an unmistakable sign that many voters stayed home in obedience to party rules. But Hillary still wants to count their votes.

Reacting to the Clintons' threats, party elders like former Vice President Al Gore are reportedly waiting in the wings to adjudicate any issues before the Clintons split the party. He is, presumably, ready to administer the "Coup de Gore" - finishing off Hillary's political ambitions before she can resort to the kind of desperate scorched-earth practices her campaign is threatening.

Fueled by popular disgust with the Clintons' tactics - first their use of the race issue, and now their reliance on party bosses to thwart the popular will - voters are likely to hand state after state over to Obama. It's increasingly unlikely that Clinton will win even one of them.

Slimy dick is correct that the Clintons will do anything necessary to regain their power up to and including the scorched earth tactics of trying to: convince the super delegates to override the expressed will of the voters, attempting to convince regular delegates to violate their pledge to vote for the candidate they were elected to support and attempting to change the rules in the middle of the contest by seating the delegates from Florida and Michigan.

The Clinton campaign's rationalizations for seating the Florida and Michigan delegates are laid out on the campaign's website Delegate Hub. I urge you to go over and have a look, but have one of those pre-moistened towelettes because the whole place has a greasy feel to it and you'll want to wipe your hands after you finish reading and click away.

Here is a sample of their "reasoning":

In Florida, all presidential candidates were on the primary ballot and all followed the rules (except for Sen. Obama who broke the rules by running television ads in violation of his pledge to the early states and to the other presidential candidates).

What they mean by Obama's "breaking the rules" was that he ran ads on cable channels like CNN and Fox News which appeared all across the nation. Neither Obama nor Edwards (or any of the other Democrats who were in the race at the time) bought any airtime on any Florida television or radio station.

In Michigan, Sen. Obama voluntarily withdrew his name from the primary ballot to curry favor with Iowa. He was under no obligation to do so. However, his supporters organized a substantial vote for 'uncommitted' on the ballot, thus he is represented in the delegation.

Sen. Obama withdrew his name from the ballot because he, like Mrs. Clinton, had promised not to obey DNC rules and not participate in the Michigan primary. In other words Clinton believes that Obama should be penalized because he acted honorably. This is an understandable attitude coming from the Clintons. They, after all, are the kind of people who think that words like "honest", "honorable", "upright" and "law abiding" are all synonyms for "sucker".

Is this how the Democrat party wants to see itself? I mean the party was behind Gore's attempt to steal the 2000 election by rewriting the rules to make the outcome favor him, but that was just screwing over Republicans. This is doing to a fellow Democrat and an African-American to boot!

The Democrat party has an historic opportunity to give itself a massive enema and be rid of the Clintons forever.
