The Democratic convention delegate and Clinton supporterwho appears in the latest McCain ad saying she’ll vote for the Republican, Debra Bartoshevich, has been kicked out of the convention.

Debra Bartoshevich is persona non grata at the Democratic National Convention in Denver, now that the former delegate from Wisconsin is the star of an ad in which she proclaims her support for presumptive Republican nominee John McCain.

...snip...

Bartoshevich’s move has led to her ouster as one of Wisconsin’s delegates at the Democratic National Convention. But maybe she’ll find friends at a “Happy Hour for Hillary” in downtown Denver tonight.

My question is: "how did she hold onto her credentials this long in the first place?"

[truthisfreedom]

1. Disgusting. Glad we got her out.

[Wapsie B]

2. She sounds like a repug plant to me.

[enki23]

3. she's an *admitted* republican plant

whether she used to be or not... well, that doesn't really matter much anymore.

[lonestarnot]

10. I think all those people are pug plants.

[Wapsie B]

12. I do too.

There's been a big business infiltrating the Democratic Party with people like her.

[Xenotime]

4. She needs to be voted out of office.

She is a traitor to the party.

5. She is not a delegate to the National Convention.

She was removed from the delegation in July.

6. Another "Ivan". I happen to think the Democratic Party (and DU)

have a fair number of them. Never were true Democrats, just wolves in sheep's clothing.

7. These kind of so call dems are more disgusting than the right

wing hacks...they make me sick to my stomach...

8. Dimwits Given Delegate Status Almost Always Falter

This young lady is just another example of neophytes who get caught up in the political vineyards and upon being appointed or elected to some position within the democratic party they get caught up with their self-importance and take themselves way to seriously. As a result their brain goes haywire, short circuits, and they fall prey to the opposition party in this case The Reprehensible and Unrepentent Republi'con' party and do their bidding. It is so unfortunate. I've seen it in Maine when I was involved with the Maine State Democratic party and in N.H. as well when I was there. It goes on here in Maryland as well. Young people aren't loyal to much for long when given a job to do as a Super Delegate for example. She got her ass royally kicked out of the Convention as well she should. She belongs with the Young Republi'cons' and will be happier there. Eventually she'll leave them to become a raging full fledged FASCIST because someone there will talk dirty to her or whisper sweet nothings in her ear.

She's just a young FOOL.

9. She told Fox News today the Republican Party paid her airfare.

[Wednesdays]

18. Just makes you wonder what things have been paid for

that she's NOT talking about.

[orleans]

19. so that would make her a political (starts with a Wh and ends with an ore) n/t

[magellan]

20. The GOP just doesn't care about morals or winning fair and square

They play politics like gangsters run a casino -- stacking the deck, loading the dice, colluding with the dealers, stealing chips....because they'd NEVER win any other way.

It's nice when the light of day gets shined on their corrupt tactics every once in a while.

11. Guaranteed we'd be seeing her mug on more McBush commercials using

the Dem convention site as a backdrop - so glad she was kicked out? Yes!

[KamaAina]

13. Debra, with no vote, you ARE the Weakest Link.

Goodbye!

[K8-EEE]

15. Spit out iced tea....

Oh that was a good one KamaAina....

[WillyT]

14. Debra ??? You ARE The Biggest Loser !!!

I hope you choke on it!

[Pastiche423]

16. Good!

[Neshanic]

17. "Debby Downer"

[emulatorloo]

21. In case you missed it, Debra is PRO-CHOICE and believes McCain is too!!?!?!?!

Gotta love Rachel Maddow, she is reporting tonight on MSNBC, the following:

Rachel Maddow: There is an interesting point to that and Gene you raised this idea of how stupendously strange it would be for Sen. Clinton's pro-choice supporters to instead support John McCain who has pledged to overturn Roe v. Wade. So there is a Hillary Clinton delegate who is in the new John McCain ad who explains why she is supporting John McCain, and encourages other Democrats to do the same. At a press conference in Denver, which the Republican Party organized, that nurse from Wisconsin and former Hillary Clinton delegate, was asked, 'you describe yourself as a pro-choice Democrat, how could support McCain on the choice issue?' and she said 'Well as far as I understand it John McCain is against overturning Roe v. Wade.'

Nora O'Donnell: What?

Rachel Maddow: Right, which he's not. Which is not at all his position which implies that for Democrats to support John McCain they have to have no idea what John McCain stands for?

Nora O'Donnell: Well isn't that embarassing then that the woman in the McCain ad doesn't even know what McCain stands for?
