And these bozos want to run the country?? They can’t even run district-level conventions here in Texas without almost matching Mugabe in Zimbwabwe for class and fairness.
The 23rd district got together at 8:30am; the convention managed to start at 6pm. There was challenges and shouting galore.
Sheila Jackson, the Democrat Congresswoman, was booed in Houston.
They had this stuff going on 3 weeks ago, which I witnessed myself at precinct (a single night of hypocracy was all I could manage). They couldn’t take notes and prepare any better than this after that??
Manners, competancy and democracy, Democrat style. Just what the nation needs more of.
UPDATE: The tedious process included numerous precincts redoing the caucuses held March 4, an act repeated across the state. Re-doing the March 4th caucuses??? No legal issues there; yeah, right! Sorry, you either seat a delegate or you accept a challenge to one; no ‘redos’ are possible, since most of the precinct caucus goers aren’t there. I speak as someone who has run district conventions myself and I would have rightfully been burned at the political stake had I run a mess like that, no matter how much lipstick the local paper tries to smear on this pig.
Haha! I was laughing when I read all this. Texas Democrats are nuts.
All the more reason the (anti-)Democratic party should nominate someone who hasn’t been in the center ring of that circus very long.
Of course, what does that also say about the (anti-)Republican Party that lost control of both Houses last time around and might have lost the last two presidential elections, had we just left things up to the voters. (What a quaint notion, just like the Geneva Conventions, right Alberto?)
Sadly, it says the most about us, the electorate, for failing to demand better. The parties can’t fail the Republic without the complicity of the voters.
Excuse me Lamont, but Bush won the popular vote in 2004 by 3.5 million votes; not to mention the constitutional process of the Electoral College. And this after the war in Iraq was well underway.
Considering all of this, the Dems have a real history of screwing up for the national office and could actually manage handing it back to the GOP after they have been given it on a silver platter. Just look at the laughable conteplation of Al Gore., a white male elitist that no one has voted for, becoming the Dem nominee. The Dems couldn’t look more like donkeys if they tried.
