Nancy Pelosi Threatened by Wealthy Clinton Supporters

Remember at the beginning of the primary season after Huckabee, McCain, and Romney each won a different state’s caucus or primary? Remember how the media spun this as the Republicans being in trouble because they had no clear front-runner? Remember how the media spun it that the Democrats were indeed the stronger party because they had two great front-runners? How’s that working out for you?

That seems a long, long time ago now doesn’t it? As of today Republicans have their nominee, even if I think he is the worse candidate they could have nominated, and the Democrats still have their two “strong” candidates.

Today the Democrat candidates are shredding each other to pieces, there is in-fighting by party insiders on what to do and who should drop out, Democrat supports of either candidate say if their candidate loses they will vote for McCain, and party leaders are afraid the winner will come out so bloodied that he/she will not be able to win the white house.

There is even recent talk that Al Gore is going to rise out of the ashes of this bloody political campaign like a Phoenix and be the savior of the party.

All of this is just to much fun to watch.

Now we have 20 wealthy supporters of Hillary Clinton threatening Nancy Pelosi.

“We have been strong supporters of the [Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee],” they wrote, referring to the House fund-raising arm overseen by Pelosi. “We therefore urge you to clarify your position on superdelegates and reflect in your comments a more open view.”

They are telling her to clarify her position? I thought her position was pretty damn clear. She said whoever has the most delegates is the person the super delegates should vote for. How hard is that to understand? I love the line about “a more open view.” That line is the kicker. They aren’t really asking her to clarify her view, they are asking her to change it. By a “more open view”, they really mean that they want her to be of the opinion that the super delegates should be open to over-ruling the will of the Democrat voters.

According to this article, Nancy Pelosi is now enraged at the Clinton campaign for this veiled threat at not helping to fund the Democrat nominee if it is not Hillary Clinton. And rightfully so.

The House speaker was not backing down, however, and is still insisting that superdelegates respect “the decisions of millions of Americans who have voted,” her aide Brendan Daly said.

I can’t believe that I have just put myself in position to defend Nancy Pelosi, but I guess I have. The audacity of the Clinton campaign, while not surprising, is unbelievable. Actually it isn’t unbelievable coming from the Clinton’s, I just can’t seem to find the right word. The Clinton’s think it is their right to return to the white house. It is Hillary’s long time dream to become the first woman president. Why else would she have put up with all of Bill’s shit for all of these years?

Now it is slipping away and she will stop at nothing to get what she wants. Even “convincing” super delegates to vote against the will of her party is acceptable to her and her campaign.

All of this has given me great pleasure to watch, and surely the Republicans stand a better chance of winning because of it. Too bad conservatives don’t have a horse in this race.
