Operation Chaos.... Shameful or true meaning of free elections?

[dirtylicious]

who is the victim though?....Obama?...Clinton?... there IS no victim....that's the democratic process... who is anyone to say that any one person'sreason for voting is more valid than the next person's?

besides..the point I was making was that it wasn't the govt's fault... it's the system that the DNCput in place.

It's neither here nor there. The process is the way it is and so far as I know Americans don't have to pledge loyalty or fealty to a political party ora certain politician.
That drug user and wanna be pedophile (prob. is) can call for whatever he wants. It reflects more on the intelligence of his listeners if they actually act onit.

I'm not so sure that it's as benign as "prolonging the Democrat party nomination process". There may be more to it. Considering that Clintonhas a few top Republicans on her campaign staff, it makes one wonder.

The main idea is to keep the Democratic nomination process going as long as possible, the better to sow discord and "chaos" among the Democrats, and to, in Rush Limbaugh's own words, "bloody up" whomever the potential nominee is

Is it a shameful act to encourage people to vote to keep the race going and damage the Dem Nominee?...
or...
Is indicative of true free elections that people can use their vote on how they see fit?




El Rushmoe. Commander in chief of op chaos.

It's not really working because Obama is still in the lead and barring a meltdown of epic proportions, he'll likely be the nominee.

The "victim" is the American voting public regardless of what party alliance they may possess. People are very well in their right to cross partylines in order to vote for the better candidate, but if you're doing it out of vindictiveness or disdain for the opposing party and/or as a way to prop upyour own party's candidate in the long run it makes you less than a responsible and honorable citizen. If that's not being Anti-American or beingdisloyal to one's own nation, I don't know what is. You should lose your right to vote if you try to game the system in this manner. It cheapens veryidea of voting & the democracy and basically flips the bird at the foundation of this supposed system, which many deem to be the best in the world (whichis a complete farce in itself). Is that the kind of model of Democracy you want highlighted throughout the world when the US is in the spotlight? That'sshameful.

Rush is so full of himself it makes me sick. If McCain needs Obama to be "weakened" then he's not a good candidate to begin with. Your partyshould have picked a more electable candidate to run.

It is legal but clearly not within the spirit of the primary process, a good citizen should choose his primary vote, if he lives in an open primary State, withgood faith.

This travesty is occasion for reexamining the scope or the potential scope of government power, especially federal government power. In addition to the billionupon billions that government can dole out to client voting blocks and special interest it also can impose its will on the "social issues" and thereare elements of the left and the right who want to inflict a particular life style or value set on an unwilling majority. With so much money and ideology onthe line, it is not wonder that our politics is not only fractious and contentious but it is becoming increasingly dirty and cut throat.

Perhaps if government's pockets were not so deep, if every one had a live and let live attitude toward their fellow citizens' way of living and if incase where the force of the state must be used it should be exercised on state or municipal level, we may have a more civilized political process.
