Pelosi: Superdelegates Have Right to Vote Their Conscience

[Yelena335]

America's thoughts have to be shared!!! Will you believe in Barak 0bama's new Health care bill?? Go over to my utube profile to learn just why Y0UR voices are needed !

[ASentinel2]

She's a beastiologist!

she lets her pikinise lick the sweat from betwixt her....stuff..

[UGABB]

Pelosi is a pathetic excuse for any postition in the government!

[moblou]

I am a politically active concerned citizen of America and I am doing everything now, that I can to back McCain/Palin 08 for Hillary vs. Palin in 2012. I believe it is of paramount importance this year to get the facts on the candidates before voting. Our country faces the most serious times in history. We all can and must make a difference this year. Vote McCain/Palin in 08 to promote America to its full level of greatness at home and abroad.

[wiferachel]

Thank you Sarah Palin for exposing all the corruption and biased media like msnbc ,the naacp and so many others . You are not even in the white house yet !!!!  Go Sarah!!!!

[timin770]

And this is the best the libs have? Good God, what a fruitcake this Pelosi beeotch is

[PriaNorm]

It seems Pelosi dislikes Obama is it because she is a neocon enabler and KNOWS unlike her Obama will end the Iraq lie

[Aristobulus789]

Nancy Pelosi is a dignitary; give her some respect.

[ccfinfo]

Don't you mean dingleberry?

[aclusux]

Didn't she assure us that we would have lower fuel cost in the first 100 days?

[default99telecom]

Martin Short needs to do a parody of pelosi, she is just plain koo koo.

[OLYMPICSHOOTER]

Feed this coward to the Croc's, she is the real ENEMY of the UNITED STATES of AMERICA, feed all of her followers to the CROC's soon or the U.S. will fall. The liberals are the true ENEMY of the U.S. !!!!

[ricanssuck]

I wonder who cut this bitches dick off. Pelosi is a fucking communist bitch. I wish someone would cut her fucking tongue out and stick it up her ass. She wants to put rules about how we can deploy our troops. What the fuck is wrong with democrats. We need a revolution. We need to string up these fucking America hateing dumasscrats. After their hearts stop beating drive a wooden stake to make sure they are dead. Blood sucking communist lesbian bitch. Fuck OFF!

[2025DPlaza]

Superdelegates were intended to act as a counterweight to a system which might allow someone (like McGovern) to win lots of caucuses in red states and thus

overproduce a delegate count which did not match his/her electability. They were not meant to rubber-stamp the pledged delegates.

[jon8316]

She's a white trash.

[DonkeyofHeaven]

The unpledged delegates are able to vote anyway they want because they are unpledged, but how they vote must be exercised with the rank and file results in mind or the rank and file will be plenty pissed if a good reason is not provided. But even though pissed, the Democratic rank and file are ultimately sheep and after a time will accept any plausible excuse. Otherwise they would have all become Green Party by now being so betrayed by the Democrats again and again.

[Yutuberdude]

Is it me or does Pelosi seem to be on the verge of an epileptic attack? She sounds like she's trembling when she speaks...and she does that thing with her eyes...

[Yutuberdude]

Pelosi is so full of shit... I think she can't handle the fact that she might have to share the lime-light with hillary...

[saberhawkk]

Was'nt she saying something different not very long ago, and got allot of heat for it? Being called out now....Is this just another politician changing her story?

[Yutuberdude]

Yes, she was singing a different tune not too long ago. I think they all ganged up on her for saying what she said and hence the change in tunes. I think they should just nominate Pelosi to be Ambassador to Tibet...I'm so over her! PS: I think she doesn't want to see a woman (other than herself) be president one day.

[saberhawkk]

pelosi just doesnt want to see another woman with more power than her...That is obvious.

[Yutuberdude]

Exactly!! She just can't stand the thought of having to kiss Hillary's ass...hahaha! Seriously though, is it me or does Pelosi not look like she's in the early stages of Parkinson's? Ok, maybe that was in poor taste, but the bottom line is: she makes me sick & I wish someone would hurry up & push her down a flight of stairs - putting her out of her misery once & for all!

[Zimeeisme]

Once Pelosi got that letter from Democratic fundraisers she got scaaarrrd.I agree with unknownguy..well not the piece of shit part,but she is all about power. Come on though,they all are. Some go in with good intentions and they get caught up...I mean you have to in order to get anywhere and do anything.The only harmful thing being done is by the DNC. The new proposal to divide up MI and Fl delegates is very fair...so get it done damnit! What is the hold up?? Cant wait to vote in Raleigh in May!

[garzaeduardo]

so,who in politics is not in in for power.somebody should give barack a couple of bucks or a least donate a new pair of shoes.see Time magaine march 17.if he's got holes in his shoes, you know his socks and underwear are worse.sad.

[Unkn0wnGuy]

Pelosi is a piece of shit who only cares about her own power. What a disgrace.

[ironj221]

I am not convinced that it is harmful to democrats. Obama and Clinton are in the news everyday and McCain is not. How is that harmful?

[intarwebzz]

i agree cuz just when mccain thinks he have a chance, it'll be like "hasn't this guy already lost before?"

[babybeachball]

ironj221 - Because McCain isn't getting scrutinized. At all. He is a media darling, and there is a lot of information about him that hasn't come out that could severely lessen his chances of winning.

[ironj221]

I understand that is why people believe it is harmful, but I'm not convinced that actually is harmful. Not being in the news for months is more harmful in my opinion. In a few months, I would think that some people may be asking who is John McCain? Being in the loop of the daily media, sadly, has a great effect regardless of that news being positive or negative.

[ricanssuck]

Babybeach-ballswallower. I bet you live in Cali. McCain is a media darling? Are you completely brainwashed, or are you just fucking ignorant. The "darling" is that fucking nigger bitch Obama. Go stick a carrot in your ass you fucking cunt. I hope you get hit by a truck.

[babybeachball]

ricanssuck- Uh oh, a flaming racist/misogynist/god knows what else wished my death and told me to sodomize myself with a vegetable because I said McCain is a media darling? Lame.

From what I understand, throughout his long career McCain has been one of the most cooperative, generous and friendly politicians with reporters/ the general media. That is why they like him.

If you have contrasting info or a *coherent* opinion, please share.

[HaoSci]

OK, I'm lost.

[Zimeeisme]

LMAO..Bigbrutha has got to be joking. Steal this?I thought that people vote in this country.Last I saw, Obama was white and black.The only shackles that would have held you, would be because of some crime that you committed.Get over it.

What I cannot stand is when people vote for someone just because of their race.I was an Obama supporter last year and switched to Edwards.OMG..I must be a racist!What about some blacks that are ONLY voting for Obama because he is black, look black anyway.

[RecessMonkeys]

I get the feeling Bigbrutha's not a "brutha" at all. More like a bullshit caricature of a black man.

[theparadox813]

Amen to that. A Manchurian "brutha"

[historywillabsolve]

you think only black people vote their race? what about all the whites who would never vote for a black man? i'm not an obama supporter but it's silly to pretend he is only getting votes because of his race.

[bigbruthaman]

Yeah they gunna make Obama prez. Then the weak white man will have to bow down before the strong proud AFRICAN bruther. Aint no way they gunna steal this. Its our time to rise up and break the shackles that have held us for hundreds of years!

[keemosobbee]

bigbruthaman, Im black and a Obama supporter but the shit you say can make some white people who are not racist get a image in their head of a bunchof us crazyass niggas not being able to handle equality and really start showin the fuck off. Actin real stupid and shit.I got white people in my family and close friends and the only one they bowin down to is God and JesusChrist. Not Obama and not no crazyass revolutionary dumbasses.

[R0SEBUD789]

keemosobbee, that is one of the best comments I've read here on YouTube. LOL

Nice one! haha

"the only one they bowin down to is God and JesusChrist. Not Obama and not no crazyass revolutionary dumbasses."

[saberhawkk]

Right on keemosobbee!

[FL4BarackObama08]

OBAMA'08

[astro104]

NObama'08!

[S197V6TT]

Has Hillary released her tax returns yet? The reason there is a delay on the release of the tax returns is because under the law, she would be disqualified from running for the Presidency under the law of Double Jeopardy! Have a nice day grupolavolta!

[foley15136]

Pelosi '12!

[winklestraat]

well nancy. practice what you preach and step up to the plate.

[S197V6TT]

In regards to John Edwards, its like your in the parking lot of a nightclub after the club has closed. Once the brawl breaks out, John Edwards stands on the sideline and waits to see which side has the advantage. Once he sees a clear victor, he runs over and takes a cheap shot and the losing side. Then he throws his hands up in the air and pretends he was part of the fight from the very beginning. You avoid friends like that. You need friends that win or lose, they are down no matter what!

[drpirritano]

I do agree with you on this one. Come on Edwards, speak out as you supporters expect you to!

[S197V6TT]

I think Edwards unwillingness to commit speaks volumes on what kind of chicanery we have yet to endure. The fact that he is unwilling to cast his support behind either candidate shows how he is purely an opportunist. In which instead of doing whats right and fair, he will hold back public judgment so that he can benefit either way.. It would be nice if he was brave enough to publicly take a stand on something.

[drpirritano]

It seems he wants to take a VP position so badly now (presumably) that he's willing to side by and watch the party tear itself apart in this primary process instead of speaking out to endorse either Obama or Clinton. If he's pro-Obama, he might figure Richardson beat him to it. if he's pro-Clinton, he might just be waiting to see how it all plays out. Either way I think he's acting cowardly given the respect he knows his supporters have given him and the guidance many of them probably expect.

[bo3of]

I love you Nancy!

[FeelFreeToArgue]

At this point we're stuck at least waiting for PA results. There are some rumblings that PA might hold a surprise for the Clinton camp. She needs to win it, it's a firewall. I know she said that about TX already and she lost that, but she can trot out her usual caucus arguments to minimize that reversal. I think a PA loss would be a much, much harder sell. They're supposed to be her kinda DEMs, if she doesn't win in PA I think the step down calls will be much much louder.

[24LakerGirl]

you go girl!!

[Europeanpreacher]

I have respect for Nancy Pelosi;right here she is undepressure from the lobbyists who have been very supportive,financially,of the DNC.

[maria175]

She looks nervous.

[jstoby]

You can't say Hillary has a chance, AND that you want to choose a candidate well before the convention. The only way Hillary has any shot of winning is to campaign all the way up until the convention. I will note that I did base this conclusion solely math. I would imagine something as simple and rational as that would seem rather objectionable to anyone in Washington.

[drpirritano]

The math shows that neither Obama nor Clinton can win enough delegates to pull off the winning the primariy before the DNC as Ms. Pelosi stated. Also, as she CLEARLY states, either candidate might be the frontrunner. I'll back whoever is deemed more electible. The average American isn't politically savy nor self-educated (or otherwise informed) enough to determine this as Bush's 2nd term prooves. We must wait & see & hope a candidate is elected sooner rather than later. Electibility is #1.

[S197V6TT]

I think the Founding Fathers never even considered the wife of a former President would ever dream of running for the Presidency. If so, they would have made it clear. Hillary's campaign is another perversion of our Constitution. It shows the length that the Clintons will go to to subvert it. Nobody else has ever had the lack of respect to attempt to pervert the meaning of the Presidency this way. If they could Nancy Reagan would have run for President! Its not Constitutional!

[drpirritano]

Good God! What constitution are YOU reading?

[S197V6TT]

LOL! Ok! Your setting the precedence! Don't get mad later when Michelle Obama run's for Barracks 12th and 16th year term!

Only when the shoe fits, does perverting the Constitution make good sense.

So its official, the Presidency can last 16 years per term!

[drpirritano]

If it turns out Ms. Obama proves to be the best candidate in years to come, good for her and she would deserve to win; however, your sensationalizing of all or most of your comments your posting here reduces your opinions to nonsense. And if in your book perverting the Constitution is o.k. so long as it makes sense, then I cast a vote to ammend it to prevent people like you from partaking in the election process. Sounds stupid, huh? Good, I made my point then.

[S197V6TT]

You can make any point you want, which is basically trying to convince people that the Superdelegates overriding the WILL of the people is considered a sound Democracy. Well its BS! You know it, and I know it. So you know where you can stick the point you made right? If not, then I will tell you in the next post! So do you know where you can stick your point drpirritano? Do you?

[drpirritano]

Aparently you're just an extremely angry person who wants nothing more than to pitch a fight & I won't partake in it. My purpose of posting comments is to get people to think through this election process & share thoughts, whether their positions be the same or completely different than mine. You can post all you like in response to this, but I will not respond. Its a shame, b/c you sound like an intelligent person. Best wishes to you.

[S197V6TT]

Ok! Lets set aside our hostilities and I'll stipulate just 2 facts.

1. Superdelegates of the Democractic party make up 20% of the total electorate voting block. Why?

2. Hillary Clinton is the 1st (two) term first lady in history to run for the office of the Presidency. Why?

Question

If so many people loved Ronald Reagan, then why did they not push for Nancy Reagan to run for the Presidency?

So with hostilities set aside, have a nice day!

[jstoby]

S197V6TT, You're kind of stupid aren't you?

[grupolavolta]

@S197V6TT: Did the Founding Fathers imagine a woman or a black man running for the Presidency?  If you're going to be a Constitutional originalist on this, take it the whole way. Or admit there is nothing unconstitutional about the spouse of a President being President.

[S197V6TT]

Well Hillary Clinton is considered Double Jeopardy. Has she not admitted in being involved of every aspect of her husbands Presidency? Did she not as (First) lady file tax returns while in the White House? These tax returns would clearly indicate a status of Double Jeopardy under the law in reference to Hillary Clinton.

A black man or any other woman would be fine and Constitutional to run for President.

[grupolavolta]

I agree both of them are perfectly constitutional. You are avoiding my question. You bring up what the founding fathers intended regarding first ladies. I say if you are going to be an originalist, the fathers didn't envision non-males and non-whites, either, but so what? And your misuse of the term double jeopardy clearly indicates you do not know what the term means.

[Veracifier]

Thanks for the comments.

How much clout does Nancy Pelosi have in affecting the outcome of the race?

Check out the Veracifier forum.

[quicksite]

Nancy always seem to put off the vibe of being (a) misunderstood, (b) victimized, (c) and needing to give someone a lecture. Too bad she's my congresscritter.

[luvnhugs]

Superdelegates were intended to act as a counterweight to a system which might allow someone (like McGovern) to win lots of caucuses in red states and thus

overproduce a delegate count which did not match his/her electability. They were not meant to rubber-stamp the pledged delegates.

[S197V6TT]

I guess we should have expected Nancy Pelosi to cave, while speaking for Democracy! If she was serious about protecting it, she would have impeached by now.

[bigcougar111]

If Hillary steals the nomination from Obama, I will vote for McCain. I don't want a pathetic liar in the White House.

[S197V6TT]

@bigcougar111

McCain is also a pathetic liar. I'm not sure how I will stay motivated to participate anymore if I have the feeling that the ultimate power is with the superdelgates and not the People. This took all the wind out of my sails. I'm not giving anymore donations to anybody since in the end it won't matter. Our vote as The People is not relevant anymore.  This is all bad news. Good Luck bigcougar111! Don't vote for McCain however. Our troops can't take another 100 years.

[babybeachball]

s197v6tt - Our vote as The People matters b/c of the record-breaking voter turnout this year. I don't think superdelegates/politicians Want it to matter, but this time they are at least aware that if they vote against the people it will bite them in the ass in terms of their own career, if they are in a position that calls for re-election and because of the effect it will have on voter moral for the general elections. So at this point, you don't have to feel so bad about it. I hope.

[babybeachball]

I see that you are passionate for your candidate and/or passionately can't stand Hillary.

The problem with this logic is that you arent looking at the big picture. McCain will induct people into the supreme court who will work to strip away our basic rights/freedoms. Hillary won't continue turning the supreme court into the league of evil. I won't be thrilled to vote for her, but the supreme court is serious business.

(Plus there is So Much dirt on McCain that has yet to come out.)

[imunezombie]

Call your local superdeligate and tell them their vote should follow the populus vote,.

[bebop54]

write in ron paul ....

[quixoto]

Yeah, maybe he'll join the ranks off all those other right-in candidates who became president.

Oh wait...

[gobblegobblechew]

super delegates got their rights from themselves not from the people. Super delegates can suck the shit out of my asshole.

[RealityX10]

Clinton will win!

Step off Obama!

[jupiter2394]

obama  hs already won and if hillary wins ill vote for mccain

[drpirritano]

I'm sorry, but anyone who votes for McCain in lieu of Obama or Clinton is either an idiot, confused politically, completely uninformed, or all 3. I support Clinton first, Obama second, but I will support whichever one of them wins the primary as I hope it will be the candidate that is most electable. Comments such as yours here only serves to propogate this innane mentality of voting for McCain and all of the Bush ideologies he represents.

[jupiter2394]

will you agree that obama has already won

[saberhawkk]

jupider...The nomination process is far from over...If it was over we would have a dem nominee, and it wont be over till we do have one be it Obama, Clinton, or someone else if they decide to during the convention. It is not decided on youtube.

[jupiter2394]

why not its obvious that Obama won he has more delegates and the popular vote why is it so hard for you Clinton groupies to admit that she has lost and that she hurting Obamas and the parties chances of regaining the white house by dragging this thing on

[Yutuberdude]

I'm an Obama supporter but let's be serious he'll never win the general election. His ties with Rezko and Wright will be used against him BIG TIME by the Republicans! Sad but true.

[DonkeyofHeaven]

McCains ties to wacko right-wing ministers like Robertson and Parsley are worse than anything Wright has said. Also McCain's ties to the Savings and Loan disaster are far worse than anything Obama can be accused of.

[jupiter2394]

not true you see that the reverend wright controversy did not hurt him in the polls i think he can win hes a much better choice than Hillary or mccain

[babybeachball]

"I'm an Obama supporter ".

No, you're not.

I think you just want people to think that Obama's supporters are turning their back on him.

[saberhawkk]

Lol...Obama supporters would never turn thier back on him...Even if he came out and said that he was the anti-christ...! Lol....You people will follow anyone that would lead you....doesnt matter where...

[babybeachball]

No, I definitely wouldn't.

[saberhawkk]

No babybeachball....I said that Obama supporters will never turn thier backs on him, and I believe that....You have all helped me decide to vote for mcain if he gets the nomination, but you are right that I am not an Obama supporter...I wonder if it was my comment that gave you that Idea.

[babybeachball]

saberhawkk - "You people will follow anyone that would lead you....doesn't matter where..."

That is not a flattering statement. Obama has not given me any reason to turn my back on him. But more importantly, I have never been 'a follower', and disagree with your claim. I wouldn't follow him or anyone blindly.

The youth movement/ general enthusiasm Obama has inspired in people does not equate to cult-like brainwashing.

(I know you don't support him. That was a response for yutuberdude.)

[saberhawkk]

ahh ok...It wasnt meant to be flattering to the cult followers that do exist....I am glad that you have separated yourself from that group...I can respect that your opinions, and values, and morals put you on Obama's side...As I am sure you can respect that I have reasons to not be on his side myself.

[babybeachball]

saberhawkk - Absolutely, respect all the way. :)I think it is dangerous to generalize about Obama/Hillary/McCain supporters. So now that we have a rapport I'd like to hear your opinions. What did the Obama supporters you know do to turn you off to his candidacy? Do aspects of his campaign feel cultish to you? Do you usually vote republican? Again, I genuinely want to understand your view, and promise not to get unfriendly about it.

[jpdc70023939]

I'm assuming your comment is meant as a question. No one has already won anything. If you haven't listened to Pelosi well enough to confirm that (since Obamaphites seem to like to live in a fantasy land of the election being a done deal even though they're so up in arms about Clinton continuing to run), you're not paying attention. If Obama is THE viable candidate, what are you so worried about? His electibility? Yeah...me too just as appears to be the case with superdelegates. Time will tell.

[souljaEXVOTO]

OBAMA already damn!

[Bonecrkr]

Superdelegates will vote for the candidate that most represents the views of the majority of their constituents while still being electable. Obama neither is representative nor is he electable. The nominee will obviously be Clinton.

[JSB103]

The people who vote in the different state primaries vote for the candidate they perceive to be the most beneficial to their interests, that's normal. It's naive to expect the super-delegates to behave any differently.

[cheeseaura]

Wow, democrat side, let's see our choices...

1 cfr member who's married to someone during the OCB or 1 new cfr member.....

I guess I'll HAVE TO WRITE IN THE NAME OF THE PROPER CANDIDATE SINCE THEY'LL PROBABLY JUST OMIT HIS NAME.

[bebop54]

i'm writing in ron paul ...

...can't believe everybody isn't doin' the same ....

[drpirritano]

While I can respect your position to vote for whatever candidate you see fit, please cast your vote where it will matter: for a candidate who stands a chance of winning. This election is far too important to toss out your vote (esentially). If you disagree, I must assume you're fine with the idea of allowing McCain to win the election.

[grupolavolta]

I'm writing in Dennis Kucinich

[Whoo69]

Chuck Schumer and Ted Kennedy are 2 of the biggest dnc douchebag senators right now. Just throwin that out there. I think even Democrat voters can agree with me on that.

[Whoo69]

Even if Pelosi says something right, does anyone really give 2 shits about her anymore? She's one of those crappy, weak-need, soft Democrats that have permeated the DNC for decades now. No more JFK Democrats or FDR or Truman Dems. They're all Carter Dems and LBJ Dems. Or Dukakis Democrats.

[Whoo69]

What I wanna know is, why all the fuss about superdelegates in this damn election?? Are things really that diff. since 4 years ago? Didn't hear all the whining and bitching about these people then! Who gives a shit? Superdelegates can kiss my ass, being able to basically override the wishes of the voters in nominating someone.

[drpirritano]

The voters know a lot more about each candidate (especially Obama) since the primaries started. The superdelegates will hopefully take that into consideration. We need whoever is going to be more electable, and if you already know that, there's a lot of people that might want to kiss your a_s! If you're not putting more thought into this, I'm afraid to have you voting.

[Charles9457]

She is standing up now! Aren't you realising what she is saying?

[papichulo9022]

lol i think i know who side she is

[Aegialeus]

"Let the people decide" well said Nancy Pelosi!

That is what a democratic process is all about.

And for Obama and his gang adhering to rules by not allowing Floridians and Michiganites to have their voice...is a indicator of where he stands with Democracy or lack of. I think he would rather prefer an Islamic system of Theocracy!!!

Super deligates!!!...who cares...I say power to the people by the people.

I don't think Republican scare tactics by the Obama camp is called for.

[Conza88]

What the f--k happened to ending the War?

You bitch! There is only one party in power, and that is the elite.

RON PAUL - the only anti-establishment (status quo), PRO CONSTITUTIONAL candidate running. America's last hope!

[ubuibiok]

Well...lol I know who she wants to drop out...lol

[quietearthMT]

Yeah I was thinking the same thing. She didn't exactly hide that too well did she?
