Pelosi on CNN...Party SuperDelegates Must Decide the Candidate

[KoKo]

She says she disagrees with Donna Brazille that the "People Must Decide."

She's saying the State Party Delegates should have priority over the VOTERS!

Blitzer asks if we could have a Hillary/Obama ticket and Nancy giggles and stutters and says...she says it will be a "good decision" whoever is elected...but obviously doesn't want a Clinton/Obama ticket.

Is anyone WATCHING THIS? SHE IS DREADFUL...(Excuse my shouting) but I thought I was listening to a Fool! Stammering, stuttering and giggling...and backtracking.

Blitzer says he will have an Exclusive Interview with Pelosi at 11:00 a.m. this Sunday on his show.

1. Why am I not surprised? Shameful...

...but expected.

[joshcryer]

9. Rules are rules. Whatever happened to all the people championing DNC rules?

[johnnydrama]

28. first of all

If my math is right, there are 800 super delegates, and 3200 pledge delegates.

That means that the super delegates are only 20% of the vote. So if Pelosi said they are more important, they are clearly not, even by DNC rules.

Second, 800 is way too many. 800 super delegates is 800 people, and 3200 pledged delegates is what, 25 million people

There's no way that's a just system.

[peace13]

33. I don't give the DNC a penny!

I guess my Democracy has been sold out from under me many years ago. Go Nancy!

[tridim]

2. How do we fire her ass?

Seriously, she's awful and we should get a say.

[KoKo]

25. You know I liked her better than "Hide Under the Table Harry" but I'm

having darker thoughts. When she dissed "Code Pink" for hanging "laundry in her Shrubbery" and quipped that if their "T-Shirts" with "Impeach Bush/Cheney" gave them Freedom of Speech rights they wouldn't have if they were "homeless and she could run them off their property" I was shocked and saddened. But, it seems Pelosi nor her staff see themselves the way the Liberal Blogospher sees HER...

There is something very wrong with her. She acts like a Matron presiding over a PTA MEETING, rather than the LEADER of the HOUSE where Democratic Voters and Supporters have been in total ANGST since "Selection 2000!"

NANCY DOESN'T SEE US OUT HERE! (excuse my shouting) but she's stressed me so much to the MAX....I can't control myself! :nuke:

[robinlynne]

50. Yes.

[ORDagnabbit]

3. what super millionare Pelosi not wanting to listen to the serfs..er I mean populace.color me shocked

[KoKo]

26. DAMMIT....I wish you hadn't mentioned the workd "Serfs" because it's Exactly

what I felt after seeing that interview. I felt "WORTHLESS!" Who the hell gives her the power to disenfranchise Democratic Voters?

[cali]

4. ugh. she is such an embarassment.

[goclark]

37. Is she on some kind of medication?

It is so sad to watch her in this position ~ there was so much love and hope for her but Namcy needs to stay at home.

[peace13]

5. If she means that, her brains must have been sucked out

by the man from Mars! Why do I bother sitting at the polls next month, wasting a day of my life if this election is not for the people.

[joshcryer]

17. Or maybe she respects DNC rules.

[peace13]

35. She respects DNC rules but does not respect Democracy or

sanctity of life for those in Iraq fighting and otherwise. I think she sticks to the rules when they please her.

[RockyTorres]

6. We do have a say and leave her alone...This is not a place to bash our own party!

[Kahuna]

11. Actually, this is the place. nt

[City Lights]

7. Fuck it then. Why bother voting?

:nuke:

[Tarc]

18. Because 80% of the vote comes from peopel like us?

[spotbird]

44. We have four-fifths of a vote

so much better than three-fifths. We are progressive.

[joshcryer]

8. Party delegates would likely chose the candidate with the most pledged delegates!

[mzmolly]

43. That's how it generally happens. If superD's see the people voting in larger numbers

for Obama, I can't imagine them "deciding" the election?

[joshcryer]

48. Oh, people here would say they decided the election if they use popular vote as a metric, though.

[Kahuna]

10. Do they KNOW that they are inviting mass demostrations? I know that

don't want that again.

[bicentennial_baby]

12. If it comes to that, I will fly to f'n Denver

Seriously. Fuck that. x(

[Tarc]

16. Mass demonstrations from who? Morons who don't know how an election works?

I can picture the "NO ONE TOLD ME ABOUT THE SUPERDELEGATES!" placards now. :eyes:

Srsly people, get a grip. Superdelegates wasn't some secret, unknown factor going into this primary season. If you didn't know about it, and didn't know how it affects the election process, than that is YOUR fault, not the PARTY'S fault.

Ignorance is no excuse.

[tritsofme]

24. Even if you have known about them for years.

Doesn't mean you like the system.

I expect some serious reform before the next cycle.

[KoKo]

27. She doesn't care about that because "Mass Demonstrations against Iraq Invasion"

were NOT successful. Remember the DU Wars that A.N.S.W.E.R. and United for Peace and Justice were Left Wing Communist Organizations and those of us who took time out of our lives to attend their rallies were weenies who were tools of the Socialists? :shrug: Remember that?

[JackORoses]

13. It is being reported in the MSM, that their are not enough pledged delegates left to decide a winner

So we're left with the Superdelegates.

[joshcryer]

15. Too many people assume is that they would chose the candidate with the least pledged delegate.

There is nothing suggesting that at all. It's a joke.

[tritsofme]

20. What if there is one candidate with nominally more pledged delegates

however that same candidate has several hundred thousand fewer primary votes?

That will be the interesting conundrum.

[joshcryer]

30. Maybe they'll go after the popular vote then.

I wonder how people would feel about that.

[rinsd]

19. Exactly....

Wait a minute....


I agreed with JackORoses.....


I going to hide under my bed :scared:

;-)

[robinlynne]

51. What about the Edwards' delegates?

[Neshanic]

14. Uh oh...

[madfloridian]

21. Pelosi blamed Dean, did not blame Florida. Said delegates would count.

http://journals.democraticunderground.com/madfloridian/1567

I wonder if anyone else sees where this is heading? The scenario of back to the future....forget the voters.

[joshcryer]

31. I like how you continually pretend a million voters shouldn't count.

Just because things didn't go their way. Pelosi never suggests here that they should count toward the nomination, and your obsession continues to show.

[islandmkl]

22. i'm lazy...i'll just repeat what i said yesterday...

oh well, hell....i didn't realize the parties made their own rules.:sarcasm: I think everyone understands that. Or maybe that is exactly what I'm talking about. Where do you begin to accept 'rules' that impose restraints on the very core concepts of your society? 'That's the way it is' is nothing but a cop-out and a surrender by the truly un-involved. Posting and blogging is SO easy for all of us...yeah, we want CHANGE...but we don't want to change anything. -- Nancy ain't part of any change that's going to happen. The Democratic Party needs to come back to the people. Super-delegates, my ass. We need leadership, not because we are sheep, but because our power needs to have vision and direction.

[bigwillq]

23. That is terrible.

:mad:

Let the voters decide. We the people.

[Life Long Dem]

29. I felt she want's those doors kept wide open to go behind some closed doors.

Or there is the teaming up that needs to be stopped.

[IndieLeft]

32. And THAT is what is wrong with Nancy Pelosi.

I knew she didn't give a shit about us. Ever since she said impeachment was off the table.

I said it, and I mean it. If our vote doesn't decide who the Dem candidate is, I'm done with politics. I'm never voting again.

[newmajority]

34. Pelosi knows damn well that she only gets to keep her job if Hillary is President.

Her and the partner in spinelessness Reid are history when Obama moves into the White House.

[madrchsod]

36. yes they are history....durbin for majority leader

[jlake]

38. I agree.

[newmajority]

40. I'd go with Chris Dodd for majority leader

I'd say he's earned it, standing up to the spineless ones recently.

[madrchsod]

46. ya he`d be really good too

[girl gone mad]

39. She looked and sounded HIDEOUS.

Ugh! It's time for her to go. She has done nothing for our party.

[KoKo]

56. There was So Much Hope for Her...I was Proud.... ..What Happened?

So much Promise...and yet she seems like John Conyers....stammering and stuttering in a defensive mode.

:shrug:

[LoveForPeace]

41. She's a Neocon pretending to be a Democrat

The worst kind

[Blarch]

42. The betrayal runs deeper..

fuck that piece of trash, my hate for her is strong.

[cascadiance]

45. The nightmare continues....

[Barack_America]

47. I strongly disagree with her...n/t

[robinlynne]

49. IMPEACHment!

[AX10]

52. What kind of problem will this cause?

.

[Whisp]

53. not surprised. Pelosi wants to Protect the Bushes

as she has already done countless times.

now she wants to protect those file cabinets in office, and the only way to do that is have another clinton with the key.

[harun]

54. Why do I feel like it is November in the year 2000 all over again (n/t)

[Araxen]

55. What a waste

Nancy "I've done barely nothing since becoming majority leader" Pelosi
