They do not support Democracy in any form..I just finished a rant with one who believes that "White women in America are privileged" and I should be "grateful". I am beginning to think I will have no choice but to change my registration

1. I haven't listened to or watched M$M
but I read out there that the media was announcing falsely that Hillary was basically conceding, or was all prepared to do so tonight. And there was a report about her willing to take the VP. Does anyone know more about this? If the media is falsely reporting these stories then it may affect many peoples' votes today.

2. Yes. Hillary has issued tweo press releases saying the AP stories are incorrect . Yet
still they run them. As does MSNBC and CNN. This is IMHO, vote supression.

3. Look at what the media did with their
"she's waiting for Obama to die" lie. If you listened to it, it was clear that what she said was no such thing yet the national mainstream media kept hyping and selling it. I don't know this country any more. I really don't.

4. I shake my head at all this.
The superdelegates can change their minds any time they want to prior to their vote at the convention. I understand that there is a lot of backdoor dealing and the deal may be closed, but if by the rules they can change their minds, that's not a commitment.

5. There may come a time
in the next couple months that we are all immensely happy that they can change their minds. This man has not been properly vetted, but you can bet the Rs have done all their oppo research on him. It's going to hit the fan now.

6. If Obama fulfills the delegate count can it still go to Hillary before the convention?
Edited on Wed Jun-04-08 12:28 AM by balantz
I'm new to all of this and don't know how it works exactly.

I'm thinking the pugs won't unload on him until after the convention and he IS the nominee. That way they will be sure to have this thing exactly where they want it. If they do it now and Obama is trashed then I assume the delegates can come back to Hillary up until the convention, something they don't want.

7. The old power elite won't let go.
They are demanding power and jobs. A very bad deal for democracy and our party.
