From what I've read today on GD-P, Hillary supporters support the nuke option

[JMDEM]

Nuke the Democratic Party for Hillary. From what I've read so far today on GD-P, this is quite acceptable to the Hillary supporters posting here.

As I've said many times before, apparently it doesn't matter what she says or does, you still support her. And then you call us the kool-aid drinkers.

Care to explain this?

[rurallib]

1. My take is they will support whatever gets her the nod

No matter how much it helps the repugs or splits our party.

[olkaz]

2. I'm not one of them, but here's my take:

They think Hillary is the best chance to beat John McCain.

They think Hillary will do the best job of restoring our country and attacking new problems.

And whatever it takes to get there, it must be done, because those points I mentioned are too important.

[JMDEM]

So Hillary is saving us from ourselves.

How wonderful. Democracy sucks, right?

[Happyhippychick]

3. Well in their defense, she also said she would nuke Iran. She's on a bit of a nuclear spree!

[MidwestTransplant]

True, she threatened to obliterate Iran. She didn't say that she would obliterate the Dem. Party

even though she would.

[John Q. Citizen]

4. If she tries it, the Senate should kick her out. The Repos would probably come to her defense though

[maddiejoan]

5. I'm tired of

being asked to explain things.


So the answer would be


No.


also --what evidence do you have that this "Nuclear Option" is anything other than the fevered imagination of a 2nd rate blooger?

[here_is_to_hope]

8. Cuz 'bloogers' just know stuff, k?

Its been all over the news and GD:P this am...why the long face?

[maddiejoan]

10. The fact that

is that calling this the "Nuclear Option" is ridiculous.

Oh noes! Hillary is going to ask for the Delegates to be seated --run for your lives!!!!!!

[JMDEM]

19. Delegates to be seated under HER terms. Of course. NT.

[maddiejoan]

21. so what's your point?

[JMDEM]

24. Duh -- that it wouldn't be fair to seat the delegates under Hillary's terms only

But that's a-okay with you, obviously.

[maddiejoan]

27. It's okay for her to ask

and if they are seated --I have enough faith in my party that it's the right course of action.

Why do you hate America?

[DURHAM D]

14. This "Nuc Option" is Obama hysteria.

Anyway, the DNC Rule's Committee used the "Nuclear Option" when they threw out their very own rules on how to treat Michigan and Florida and instead when nuke on those two states. Further, they did not treat Iowa, NH and South Carolina as the rules dictated.

Dean and Donna pushed the red button last summer on two states while helping three states slide under the barbed wire and hide in a bunker they created for Obama.

[JMDEM]

20. Links? Facts? Seems like delusions to me. nt.

[DURHAM D]

23. Do your own research.

Its not new research - the fact you don't already know this seems like willful ignorance.

[futureliveshere]

32. When these rules were enforced HRC was the overwhelming favorite in Iowa and NH.

So who was doing what for whom is the question?

[WA98296]

6. They refuse to see what is right before them, simply BLIND by choice!

[conservdem]

7. what is the "nuke option"?

[lapfog_1]

9. Here ya go

[jsamuel]

11. it is a term like whatever-gate used to make seating Michigan and Florida sound like nuclear holocau

st

[Lerkfish]

12. I have seen them say "win at all costs"

not really surprising, but certainly appalling.

[oasis]

13. We need to save America far more than we need to save the Democratic Party. Go Hillary.

:party:

[JMDEM]

22. Exactly what I am saying...

Here we have a Hillary supporter SAYING that Hillary's victory is more important than the Democratic Party. Case closed.

[Iceburg]

15. Nuke option = legitmate seating of FL & MI delgates /nt

[burythehatchet]

16. Exactly*

(*if by "legitimate" you mean, lying, cheating and stealing)

[wileedog]

17. There is nothing legitimate about a vote

that voters were informed ahead of time wouldn't count. There is no way to say that the results are even remotely accurate. There is no way to determine what the true turnout would have been or the demographics of that turnout. Just saying "But a lot of people showed up!" is meaningless.

Especially without a candidate's name on one of the ballots.

Anyone with a hint of intellectual honesty would admit that.

[berni_mccoy]

18. Um. No. It means allow Rule Violators and Bullying to Win.

[Iceburg]

25. Like Bush, Obama can only win by NOT counting ALL of the votes

If Obama wins the nom he will have a permanently stained * (asterisk) beside his name for eternity...

2008 Obama* -- the votes from 2 states (which were won handily by candidate Clinton) were not counted.

[prolesunited]

28. You mean Hillary can only win

by changing the rules in the middle of the game.

[dchill]

26. Of course they support it.

What other option is there? That she wins 85% of all remaining "automatic" delegates?

[Iceburg]

29. Nuke option = counting ALL votes, not another Bush 50-1 state count

[madrchsod]

30. i`ve actually have been busy today

so i missed the new/old talking points for the hillary campaign that they were robbed by the evil dean and his co conspirators in the dnc?

oh well i guess they have nothing else to talk about....

[Forkboy]

31. Most of them don't give a shit about the people in Mi and Fl...

..and are only staking this ground now that Hillary needs those votes. If she didn't they wouldn't care at all about those two states.
