Obama, Clinton are full of caucus
Don't be mad. I told you last week that you Democrats could go to Denver and be delegates to the convention August 25-29, if only you get yourselves elected at caucuses this Sunday afternoon. But Hillary and Barack had other ideas. Both of them scoured -- and slashed -- their lists of people who signed up by the April 2 deadline to be considered in Sunday's voting. The Sacramento Bee has the story. No, wait!! Obama relented!! An update from the Bee.
Obama apparently cut more names than Clinton. If you signed up to be with one of them, and your candidate didn't break your heart by cutting you from the list, you still have a shot; get your friends and family to go one of the two polling places in your congressional district (one for Obama, one for Clinton), and vote for you. The Democratic Powers That Be assure me you can just vote and leave; you don't have to stick around for the speeches. But heck, that's half the fun.
Good luck. And remember, you have to pay for your own flight to Denver.
For California Republicans, the work is done until September. Names were submitted in advance of the Feb. 5 primary and distributed based on the vote. The Mitt Romney delegates were released after their candidate dropped out, and now all California Republican delegates are pledged to John McCain at the Republican National Convention in Minneapolis Sept. 1-4. If you were selected, you already know to check in periodically here. You can be an armchair delegate by signing up here.
I believe Obama purged 900 people to Clintons 50. It always pays to stuff the ballot box BEFORE the election. Isn't this how he got elected in Illinois? Got his opponents removed from the ballot so that he could run UNopposed.

Obama’s Dubious Affiliations
There is no way a white man with the same background and credentials as Obama could ever be elected to any significant office in this country.
Look at Obama’s affiliations:
- Mr. Rezko is Obama’s long time friend and a major mob figure.
- Mr. Auchi is a billionaire and major financial sponsor for Obama’s rise to power throughout the past years.
While working with Saddam Hussein, Auchi made his money through the sell of arms in Iraq and by stealing money from the Oil for Food program (no wonder Obama voted against invading Iraq)
- Mr. Wright is a racist who hates America and whites and is reminiscent of Hitler and has been Mr. Obama’s teacher for over 20 years.
- Senator Meeks who openly hates whites and gays and is one of listed on Obama’s campaign website as a major supporter and is one of Obama;s super-delegate. Mr. Meeks has been integral in helping Mr. Obama succeed in politics.
- Mr. Ayers of the Weather Underground, a group that killed police and tried to bomb the US Capitol served with Obama on the board of the leftist foundation called the Woods Fund.
- Mr. McPeaks is Obama’s military adviser and national campaign co-chairman who claims that American Jews are the "problem." and “Christian Zionists were driving America's policy in Iraq to benefit Israel.”
- Michelle Obama trumpets Obama as “the second coming of the messiah,” and also states that she “has never been proud to be an AMERICAN in her adult life".
The list goes on…
How can Obama’s bad judgment and affiliation with criminals and fanatics be justified?
Oh! And don’t forget Obama’s desire to add Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to the above list. Didn’t Mussolini choose Hitler to be his friend? We certainly will be able to add Ahmadinejad to the future list of Obama’s friends as we hide in our nuclear shelters.
Hey everybody - am I missing something here?
It seems to me that perhaps instead of electing Obama president, it would be easier if we just shot ourselves in our collective foot.
