Neener neener neeeeeneeeeerrrr! The Democrats Implode!
Yes, the title of this post accurately reflects its adolescent tone.
I have never, in my 46 years, enjoyed a presidential race but I’m enjoying the hell out of this one! You’re racist if you don’t vote for Obama! You’re misogynist if you don’t vote for Clinton! You’re both if you vote for McCain!
And the most uber-delicious part is going to be the fallout from the Democrat convention when the Democrat presidential candidate is chosen, not by the common folk, but by the elites.
There’s no avoiding it. The presidential candidate will be chosen, not by popular vote of the huddled and oppressed masses, but by the insider and super-rich elites.
And no matter who they choose the other side will go ballistic with cries of unfairness, disenfranchisement, and misogyny/racism. While the latter charges will most likely be untrue, they will certainly be the just desserts of decades of liberal identity politics. The cries of unfairness and disenfranchisement, however, will be utterly true and will have been brought to you by the party of the people, the voice of the common folk, the bastion of the poor – the Democrats.
Find a comfy chair and stock up on popcorn. This is gonna be good.
UPDATE: JammieWearingFool has a good post on the same topic:
Racist Democrats Fear Racial Divide
Well, it’s about time. Considering how liberals are the biggest racists on the planet and conveniently play the race card any chance they get, it’s good to see them get a little taste of their own medicine.
UPDATE: Flopping Aces sees it much the same way:
If they had a normal primary like the Republicans do, ie. popular vote takes the cake, instead of using SuperDelegates this thing would have been wrapped up already and Hillary would be the nominee. Instead the party couldn’t trust the people so they turn to the elites.
How ironic.
Even more ironic is the fact that in 2000 the Democrats whined about the Electoral College (similiar in nature to primary delegates) because Gore won the popular vote. Now Obama is saying that the delegates should not overrule the popular vote and the Clinton camp is arguing the opposite.
