Clinton Slams Democratic Activists At Private Fundraiser

Nobody could have voted at a Colorado caucus unless they had been registered as a Democrat IN THAT PRECINCT as of December 14th, 2007. Nobody from "out of town" can just show up and vote. They have to be on the existing voter registration list.

More BS. posted 04/19/2008 at 00:19:27

I call BS on this story. I am a delegate in Colorado and went to the caucus, the county convention, and will be going to the state convention. There were NO Colorado county conventions 2 weeks after the caucus. They were 5, 6 or 7 weeks after the caucus, one of the three.

You say your name wasn't on any list for the county convention, then how did the precinct captain get ahold of you? If you were a delegate, your name would have to be on the list, along with your phone number. Your story doesn't add up. posted 04/19/2008 at 00:16:32

Obama's Female Superdelegates Find Their "Sisterhood" Questioned

Obama's "Big Tent" Campaign Cuts Out The Little People In California

My wife and I are both Obama delegates to the Colorado State convention. We realize that there are hundreds of people who would like to go to the National convention, especially since it's in Colorado this year. As first-time participants in the delegate process, do we expect to be chosen for the National? Not really. Do we expect hundreds of wannabe delegates to stand up and give their spiel about why they should be elected to the 17 or so seats selected at the state convention? I sure as hell hope not! We'd be there all weekend.

In your case, they trimmed 900 delegates. If they hadn't, can you imagine a weekend convention where 1000 people get to speak?

I'm not sleepwalking, I'm not in a trance, I'm not a cult member, I don't care about fads and fashions. I have been following Senator Obama's campaign since he declared his candidacy over a year ago.

Clinton's Convention Strategy In Doubt

So true. Ron White got that one right. Or should I use his alias, Tater Salad? posted 04/01/2008 at 09:53:43

Considering the fact that the Bush administration has been bypassing regulations by either ignoring them, telling their corporate buddies to ignore them, or gutting the enforcement capabilities of regulatory agencies, we're pretty much at the de-regulated point this dittohead wants. Gas is climbing to $4. Housing bubble popping, foreclosures, equity evaporating. Airlines cutting corners by not doing maintenance. Huge recalls of tainted food and products. And when a dittohead gets poisoned, they'll be among the first to scream that the government should've protected them.

Government is the people hiring armies, police, and other agencies to do for them what they cannot or will not do for themselves. The strong have no need of protection by the law, only the weak do.

What does it take to get these jokers to realize that the complete lack of regulation they worship is common these days in Africa. Mogadishu. Darfur. Rwanda. You want no rules? That's no rules. posted 04/01/2008 at 01:30:41

Bile in the Blogosphere

As a longtime participant of Usenet newsgroups, HuffPo is comparatively subdued. I agree with some of the comments that having moderators keeps the worst of the dreck out of sight and helps maintain a relatively civil, if spirited, tone.

Posting on the Internet is a largely anonymous business which lends itself to keyboard courage, saying things online that you'd never say in a face-to-face meeting. It's been that way for over a decade, in my experience. The medium lends itself to that.

So, stop taking everything so personally. If these people were to meet you in person, you'd likely get along famously. There are good things to take away from web 2.0 sites like this but you'll get a bit dirty while you're here. This is NOT a wine and cheese salon! posted 03/31/2008 at 22:13:10
