RSSHillary Clinton Working To Preserve Democrat Tradition
J.J. Jackson* | March 15, 2008
What tradition you ask? Violating the Constitution? Nope, even though she will do that too. The tradition she is working hard to preserve is that of keeping the black man down and on the plantation.
With it not even possible for Hillary Clinton to win the Democrating Party nomination based on delegates, she and her supporters are threatening the national party if they don’t bend to her wishes and break party rules by seating delegates that were not supposed to be seated. They are doing this by threatening to take their ball … er money … and go home.
Democrats in Michigan and Florida struggled Friday to resolve the impasse over their disputed January primaries, coming up with a plan to hold a June primary in Michigan while remaining deadlocked in Florida.
Reflecting how tense the situation has become, influential fund-raisers for Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton have stepped up their behind-the-scenes pressure on national party leaders to resolve the matter, with some even threatening to withhold their donations to the Democratic National Committee unless it seats the delegates from the two states or holds new primaries there.
The committee penalized Michigan and Florida for holding their primaries early in violation of national party rules, barring their delegates from being seated at the Democratic convention this summer. But with the Democratic contest now a scramble for every remaining delegate, the allocation of delegates from the two states could have a substantial impact on the nomination.
Mrs. Clinton won the primaries in both states, but the contests were not sanctioned by the party, neither candidate campaigned in the states and Mr. Obama did not even put his name on the ballot in Michigan.
Like I discussed in my article this week (In Michigan And Florida Rules May Not Apply) the Democrats are showing their stripes. They will break any rule for the sake of power. And if they can keep an uppity black man from leaving the plantation then all the better.
How absolutely childish is it to make these threats when you knew what the rules were going in?

No matter how many times they kick people of color down, the Dems can still count on them to vote for them.
The last “REAL” democrats I knew were my parents and maternal grandparents. And I am 53 years old. This should be subject for thought or maybe not.
During my 20 year career in the Navy, I served 2 democrat presidents, Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton. At least the axiom was, “you serve the office, not the man”
