Title: Democrat democracy in action

Texas caucus hardball


The Dallas Morning News gets hold of Clinton caucus "training materials," in which supporters are instructed to fight for procedural control of caucuses.

The materials say in part, "DO NOT allow the supporter of another candidate to serve in leadership roles."

It goes on to say, "If our supporters are outnumbered, ask the Temporary Chair if one of our supporters can serve as the Secretary, in the interest of fairness.

"The control of the sign-in sheets and the announcement of the delegates allotted to each candidate are the critical functions of the Chair and Secretary. This is why it is so important that Hillary supporters hold these positions."

Some of the moments on the ground in Nevada showed how crucial technical control can be, particularly when -- there, as expected in Texas -- nobody has any idea what the rules are. Really makes you love the caucus process.

Living in Texas I can say...the Obama ads out number the Clinton ads by 100-1. And I haven't seen a republican ad.

I'd expect nothing less from the Clintonistas. 

Part of me wants Hillary to do well in the primaries and caucuses today (Rush Limbaugh even asked Republicans to cross-over today and vote for Hillary just to keep the Dems in turmoil); but another part of me thinks like Hugh Hewitt has wrote in his blog...she was politically dead and now she might be re-awakened! 

The Gates of Morder may be opening!  Mount Doom is about to erupt!

"What has Rush wrought?"

I hope that all those who cross-over to vote for her don't regret it later:

When you sup with the devil it is best to use a long spoon and spare the chopping knife...sorry rambling a bit tonight...

Exactly.  The Mudslinging btw the two dims will only get better.  Which hopefully as a byproduct will assist McCain.

That is probably true; but, I still say that Republicans in Texas and Ohio should've driven a stake through her cold heart before November...now the Succubus is loose again!

Well, perhaps it will be the death of a thousand cuts for both of them over the next few months while McCain takes notes and raises money.

OR not...

It looks like even with her wins she's still running behind the delegate count.

You know apart from the so called super delegates I don't hear anybody talking about the Breck Gurl's (Edwards) delegates...the useful idiot could easily pledge his support and delegates to either Obama or Clinton...

The Dimocrap caucus thing here (the "Texas Two Step") was so fucked up, it is HYSTERICAL.  What I find so sweetly ironic is that the idiots cannot blame the Rs for this jacked up mess.  I better never hear another liberal say ANYTHING about the 2000 election in Florida being a R conspiracy - the primary day caucus in TX showed that dim voters really are that fucking stupid.

Some background:

The Dim political leadership in TX wanted to have more control over who got the delegates in the Dim primary, so they allocated 42 delegates to be divied up based on the caucus which occurs AFTER the polls close on primary election day.  This just shows that the Dim leadership themselves don't trust the pinheads that vote liberal not to mess things up. 

In the past, the most people that have ever shown up in Harris County (Houston) for this stupid caucus thing was 5000.  On Tuesday, ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND people showed up to caucus and the idiot volunteers were overwhelmed.  Not to mention that most of the people who showed up were not exactly the cream of the voting crop and had no fucking clue what to do once they got there.  Now both candidates are bitching that the counts are not and of course never willbe accurate.  With the Bitch scrambling for every delegate she can get, look for some major complaining to come out of this circle jerk.

Thanks for the on-the-scene update Tiger Wench!  What a fucked up mess (couldn't happen to a better party).  The entire dimocrat primary/caucus process seems to be screwed up nationally as well as locally.  I don't recall it being this bad when they ran Kerry and his fellow clowns back in 2003/4.  Well, like Uncle Sani wrote it'll be high comedy the next few months...I'm just waiting for a cat-fight at the convention between the Hildebeast and Michelle Obama...especially when the Hildebeast moves to be "On-top"..."Oh no she di-ant!!"
