Those Scheming Weasels

This breaks all the records for political cynicism. All of them.

Richad Nixon, at the lowest days of Watergate, never stooped this low. And at least, Nixon had the decency and love of country to resign, when it became clear that impeachment was a certainty.

Too bad the slickster never learned such decency from Tricky Dick.

What the donktards did learn though, was how to add chapters to their book of dirty tricks. Seems it's their bible these days.

How fitting, given the left's propensity to do away with Bibles at every possible opportunity.

Yet, continuing down the sewage slide into the septic-tank that is the political left today, John Fucking Kerry actually manages to sink to Clintonian levels of manipulative depravity.

BOSTON (AP) - Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry is considering delaying accepting his party's nomination to gain time to raise and spend private contributions and lessen President Bush's multimillion-dollar financial advantage, campaign officials said Friday.

The Democratic Party would still hold its national convention in Boston at the end of July. If Kerry were to delay acceptance of the nomination for a month, it would help even the financial playing field with Bush, who will be nominated at the Republican National Convention in New York five weeks later.

Unbridled contempt for their own voters, much less for the national interests as a whole. That's what this is. Just imagine the howls from the press Stalinist Media should a Republican have floated this trial-balloon.

Kerry's campaign and the Democratic National Committee are still considering the specifics of such a plan. Convention delegates could be asked to gather at a later time for a vote.

Leaving the door wide open for a charge by a stampedeing Hildebeest. Remember the magician's trick of getting you to watch the busy hand, while actually executing the real maneuver with the other?

Keep a wary eye on the money story, but watch more closely for the twisting of nomination rules to allow for an "away from the convention" installation of either a Kerry substitute, or for the Hildebeest to saddle up for a V.P. ride on this glue-plug horse of a candidate.

Another option is holding the delegate vote at the convention but having Kerry put off his official acceptance of the vote, DNC spokeswoman Debra DeShong said, adding that there may be other possibilities.

The setup my friends, is blowing in the wind. The setup is blowing in the wind.

Sadly, time constrains me from a full take on this putrid, cynical and manipulative twisting of well understood and time-honored rules of campaigning.

The candidate becomes the nominee upon the delegate's vote at the convention. At least, that's the way it is supposed to work.

Until, and unless, one's party still twists in the wind, debating what the meaning of is, is!

What a sickening bunch of feckless asswipes.

"Sadly, time constrains me from a full take on this putrid, cynical and manipulative twisting of well understood and time-honored rules of campaigning."

Dammit. I just spit beer all over my monitor.

"of well understood and time-honored rules of campaigning."

Now I've done it again.

You jokester you.

A couple comments...the press is already Stalinist, borderline communist or right-wing...whichever you prefer.
The right wing is howling, alright...when the left plays fair and gets one up on them they scream....
It is funny to watch them...lmao..

Over 170 years of party conventons, and this move by John Fucking Kerry is completely unprecedented, in any way, shape or form.

There has never been a convention from which a formal nominee did not emerge. Be it from a brokered convention, smoke filled room or whatever it took.

Laugh at the right all you want, but by J. Fucking Kerry displaying and possibly acting on such an obviously faithless ploy, he's just reinforcing his image as an insincere, shallow, vapid cardboard cutout of a candidate.

Lincoln said it best.

"You can fool all of the people some of the time. You can fool some of the people all of the time. But you can't fool all of the people all of the time.

And a huge majority of people aren't being fooled, be it by J.Fucking Kerry, the DNC or their lapdogs in the mainstream liberal media.

And you expected any less from the party that tried to sue their way into the White House in 2000?

Actually, the (D)onks aren't too cagey. They shouldn't have telegraphed this punch. Had I been them, I would have sprung it as a surprise, waiting until the Rules Committee of the convention had to turn in their final report just before the nomination.

It does show just how far the (D)onks are willing to go to pervert the law. There will come a time when people who actually respect the Constitution will have to lay it ALL on the line.

Get back to the range, my friend.

Here again, your lack of knowledge on the voting scandal shows your ignorance. You can find the case online, I won't do it for you.
The case is Bush v. Gore.....now if you knew anything, you would se that Bush sued to stop the dilemna in Florida so he wouldn't lose. Bush, being the plaintiff, sued Gore, the respondent. Time to wake up.

Here is a little history lesson for you on the Party that is so endeared to you...read it, suck it up and admit it.....the right sucks at about anything they do.
