Obama, the DNC’s lamb for slaughter
Posted on June 6th, 2008 by LisaMartin
I do believe that Obama is merely a lamb for slaughter. The DNC SELECTED him as the nominee knowing they would risk losing the White House in November. They were more concerned about getting the youth and black vote out in support of their own congressional/senatorial campaign interests. They also CHOSE Obama because he has millions of Kool Aid Drinkers who just cannot stop pressing the “Contribute NOW” button. So, he is of more benefit to them in the short term. The DNC and other powers that be are guilty of not only dissing Hillary and exploiting Obama, but also of failing to act in the best interest of our Party and our Nation.

My sentiments exactly. My dad compares this election to the Humphrey/McGovern campaign in ‘72. He said the party got so excited to support McGovern because Humphrey had the “unfortunate” experience of working with Johnson the the party stopped looking at who was more electable and of course, Nixon ended up winning that year. He thinks this is the same knee jerk reaction and no one is looking at the finish line.
I think the DNC and the elite elected supporters also were taken by the amount of money he raised.
I believe it is a well orchestrated conspiracy. The DNC is using Obama and the party as a disposable means to an end. The end, a neo-left party that essentially has not interest for the middle or working class. In fact, the left and right have the same agenda, except they come from different perspectives.
The fact is they (DNC) have come to realize the US will no longer be a key global power - that wealth will be finite and limited - it is about protecting the money - screw the middle class, the working class, the Latinos, women.
They stole the election, disgraced our Democracy, and are willing to sacrifice the future of the US for self-serving short-term interests - all in the name of rules. Bull!!
This scheme has been several years in the making - since at least 2004 - it is either to change the party from within or create a powerful new party that will essentially relegate the DNC and the cronies that run it into once-was/has been organization.
Over at PUMAPAC there is someone there who is saying that Hillary tried to call supers on Tuesday and she was told that the supers, supporters, etc had made a deal with the DNC and would not support her in Denver. Evidently, the DNC thinks that while they may lose in November they will retain all of these “new voters” for years following.
Well, I’ve been with them for 20 years and they sure have lost me.
I too believe that this scheme has been brewing since the 2004 Dem Convention…Dean chose Obama as one of the new, exciting, up and comers in the Dem party, he certainly was a great speaker.Dean then got the Chairman’s position, and the plot thickens. His ego had been badly bruised by losing so quickly in ‘04, so he decided to redeem himself and play King maker! Obama was perfect for the theme of the ‘08 Convention…the 1st African American candidate could give his acceptance speech, on the anniversary of MLK’s “I Have A Dream” speech…booked coincidentally for the same day! Wow…the Dean DNC sure knows how to put on a great show!!! Of course, it wouldn’t have been as dramatic if Hillary had won. There’s just one problem…MLK fought and died for Peace, Love, Equality…never HATE…obama’s religion preaches Black Liberation Theology…HATE
Okay - agreed. Can we change this website to the new third party website and really start making some waves????
We need to not only vote against Obama but also those Supers that endorsed Obama against the will of the people of their states. Send a message loud and clear to the DNC. Mass. is already working on Kerry and good luck to them.
The DNC hand picked this candidate, and obama knew it,
but Hillary kept going…..and her supporters! And now, the Obama campaign wants “our” money….isn’t that lovely…..
Obama you won, but not by the popular vote….you won because of Howard Dean and Nancy Pelosi…..you used reverse racism, and you collected the “sheep” but , you will not get the support of us….not our money, not our help, nothing….
We want Hillary for President, and we spoke loud and clear, and if the super delegates don’t wake up, and get a spine, and cast your vote for Hillary, than you just lost the White House. Because we would rather have a war hero, than a junior unexperienced senator.
Yep, from when he got that buzz when he became senator. There is know real luster in his voice as the media claims, he talks like a wooing politician, or preacher.
He was used for his image and ability of speech, he’s a crowd pleaser apparently, but so is Hillary, but you’ll never hear about that.
no, the news is not fair or balanced.. and it is funny when the right, the far right media defends Hillary, like Ann Coulter, and Sean Hannity, or Karl Rove….
and CNN is slamming her! I flip the channels, and each news story has their own spin…
Did anyone see the new ad that McCain has out? Its about war, and its good, and it talks about only fools (refering to Obama) and it talkes about how much he loves his country….
Obama can’t touch this….Mccain is a war hero…..
he can’t play the race card or anything….. good luck….
Obama only has a slight lead over McCain….and Obama’s camp says, “it has to get Hillary off the stage” um….Hillary deserves to be on the stage
Obama can try all he wants…but he has not economic experience, no war experience…..no leadership ability, and of course, we have all the bad judgements that he has made. Not for a year or two….but TWENTY YEARS!”
Let anyone running for office on the DNC ticket that because you now know the DNC is corrupt, that the slogan that “every vote counts” means only super delegates, and that you happen to believe in all the people of this country, County over Party, that you will not vote for them either. I’ve done it, mean it and have watched this smaller campaigns cry “foul”! You really want to stir thing up, start at the bottom of the pot. All women know that.
I am glad, that us woman, are all sticking together for Hillary….we know she is the best candidate, we know if you want something done….send in a woman….
Hillary has the experience to deal with the men, the compassion of a woman for causes that mean the most to us…like our children, food on the table…college….she cares
She is the smartest…and could win so easily. The super delegates really need to cast a vote, and it should be for Hillary. We already have Obama saying who can stay(howard dean) and who must leave.
Yes, I too think Obama was selected by the DNC and the Party “leaders”. I am still reeling over the fact that they pushed aside a powerhouse candidate who could win the general election, only to serve us up this fellow. I think Obama’s greatest fault is that he believes his own press. The DNC does not give a hoot about this election. They see dollar bills in Obama and he is being used. November 5th is going to be a sad day for Americans when we see that McCain is President Elect. The Democratic tops are throwing this election for money and to keep a woman out of the White House. I also agree that it is no coincidence that Obama will be giving his acceptance speech on the same day as the “I have a dream speech”. It has all been planned. I am sure it will inspire a whole new group of young blacks and whites to aspire to greater things, and that will be a good thing. But, Obama is not going to win the election and we are going to have to sit in four more years of crap because of the DNC and the greedy crew that runs the Democratic Party wants more $$$$$$!
In theory, the Super delegates are a good thing. The bad thing is, they are not doing their jobs. The Super delegates, in short, were instituted so that a candidate would be chosen because he or she was the BEST candidate to win, NOT the most likable candidate. In other words, the system was designed to use logic and not emotion in voting for a nominee. Unfortunately, they got it ass backwards this year!
I read this somewhere else. So, is it true? Is it really all about the hokey pokey? What a great way for the Democratic party to bring along the new, fresh-faced generation of cynical back-stabbers.
The only thing this party is going to be able to change is their adult diapers.
I agree that it is entirely possible he is only the candidate for a recruitment drive and to ad to their donors list. We must band together and let them know, that not only will we not vote for Obama, we will vote against him, and actively campaign against those immoral DNC leaders who broke their own rules to force the unelectable one upon us. Perhaps when Dean, Reid, Pelosi and the other Obamatons in the DNC realize that this fiasco has ended their careers as well, they may think twice.
Those you see following the Obamessiah are not Democrats, though the species may try to look similar. They are in fact nothing but JACKASSES!
P.U.M.A.
To Hillary Supporters:
The time is here, the media and Democratic Party Bosses have picked the candidate they want. It is now time for the people to pick to the candidate they want. You can show your support and the people’s choice by:
- E-mail the super delegates asking them to support Hillary at the Democratic Convention
http://www.lobbydelegates.com/
- We must organize a protest for the Denver Convention; in numbers we are strong.
- Send e-mails to Howard Dean telling we support Hillary and we will NOT support
Obama. That McCain will get our votes and we are disgusted with the Democratic
Party. Howard Dean’s e-mail: howarddean@dnc.org
- Protest Obama’s campaigns.
Hillary Suspended her campaign which means she keeps her pledged delegates. Given enough opposition by the people perhaps we the people still can choice our candidate by acting on the above. It is important that we unite and show our strengthen as the people’s voice.

Hi Everyone. I got a letter from Howard Dean asking me to get behind Obama and help Unify the party. I told him off. Then i got a letter from Reid and he had the nerve to try and do the same thing. I now recieved another letter from Howard Dean asking me to Unify behind Obama now that Hillary is. GRRRRRRRR was i mad. I wrote him a letter that would knock your socks off. I even told him that He and Pelosi and Reid should be kicked out of the DNC for Rigging this election. I will call His office on monday. 202-863-8000. I will never ever vote for Obama even if Hillary is VP.
I’m with you sandi1wiz…Even if Hillary is VP, I won’t vote for Obama. Why, because they would still be trying to manipulate us all.
The DNC violated their own charter.
Democrat National Charter Article 9, section 12) states “All meetings of…official party committees…shall be open to the public and votes shall not be taken by secret ballot.” Yet a two hour closed meeting in which business before the committee was discussed was held, and secret votes were taken during that meeting. This is the RBC violation of DNC Sunshine rules, read post:
