Glenn Beck - The History of Democratic Superdelegates

[hag12100]

A crappy way to find good candidates 

[ThatHaloGuy117]

You know what I hate the most? Liberals typing in the word Glenn Beck, just to troll on his videos.

[MonsterMunchAreAce]

@ThatHaloGuy117 Do far right extremists always type things out ? If you were smarter you would see that on the right there are lots of related videos, no wonder you dumb bastards voted for warmonger Bush TWICE !

[ThatHaloGuy117]

@MonsterMunchAreAce It was a better option than an environmentalist freak Al Gore! Also what are you talking about warmonger? Obama has kept every military related thing that Bush had, and he won a Nobel peace prize for it.

[beesleeper]

One nice thing is, low-income Republicans have terrible lives, which they never seem able to alleviate. They think Jesus Fucking Christ is going to bring them the magical Lotto ticket so they can join the upper class --- and surprise fucking surprise that never happens. Republicans are mentally and physically weak and lazy.

[VinceWylde]

@beesleeper You = Dellusional. If you think Socialism is so great, move to freakin' China where it already runs in full blown communism, you dope. Don't try to turn my country into a communist toilet. Traitor. Yeah, the Republicans are liars, and so are the Demonrats. But you keep on being brainwashed by the left right b.s. Zombie.

[funkydanieluk]

That doesn't prove that democrats steal elections.

Just that they have a strange and overly complicated system for choosing their nominations.

[GFedFan]

Everything he said sound like a load of crap. I'd like to see some sources. By the way, this is my opinion of my second time watching the video.

first time: ooooh! A CNN News Ticker! *watches new ticker for 3 minutes and 12 seconds* I guess I should acctually watch the video now. ugh. T_T

[FaithorFire117]

17 people strongly disagree with reality

[spokz45]

LOL SUPER DELEGATES~~

[TheSeantague]

Haha the dems changed the rules... the Republicans were the ones who put the cap on the number of times you could run for president. They were afraid of another FDR stealing all their votes and their power, so they voted to make sure it never happened again. and he says the Democrats changed the rules.

[crazyassblinddude]

@TheSeantague i dont know about the way you phrased this............i think america in general was scared of a guy that banned free speech and rounded people up.....they changed the rules.but FDR had a face only a real progressive liberal could love

[SinnFein4ever]

Nice Republican propaganda.

It almost makes one forget that in 2001 (for at least the 2nd time in U.S. history) the U.S. Electorial Collage (who were controlled by the Republicans, at the time) went against the popular vote of U.S. voters, and apointed Bush Jr. as president.

Talk about hypocracy.

[VictorLepanto]

@SinnFein4ever: The Democrats were using the terrorism that groups like the Ku Klux Klan to claw their way back to power. The supposed "popular vote" for Cleveland was as phony as the "popular vote" for Algore in Fla. It was clear case of fraudulent ballot stuffing in Fla. Why did the Dems put Mayor Daly of Chicago in charge? He had experience w/ this sort of thing. Why did they only want to do a "recount" in counties they control? They wanted to "find" ballot boxes that had been "overlooked."

[GFedFan]

@VictorLepanto Why did the Republicans put George Bush in charge when he clearly lost the popular vote in 2004? Oh, because the stupid electoral college screwed us over! That's why! The electoral college is the most undemocratic part of our electoral process. Why was this fraudulent behavior overlooked? Because the Republicans wanted it to be.

[GFedFan]

@GFedFan 2000 election. My bad.

[VictorLepanto]

@GFedFan: I don't believe that he did lose the popular vote. If the Dems really won the popular vote, they wouldn't have put Mayor Daly, out of Chicago, in charge of the "recount." If Gore really cared about a complete accounting of all votes. He wouldn't have wanted to restrict the recount to Dem. controlled counties in Florida. This was a scheme to stuff the ballot. Like the way they stuffed the ballot for that crook Frankin in Minnesota.

[GFedFan]

@VictorLepanto Why is everything democrats do part of a big conspiracacy of evil to you guys?

[VictorLepanto]

@GFedFan: Do you think Al Franken really won anything? Why put a person like Daily in charge of something like this "recount" business? If people don't fill out their ballots properly that is their business. I still wonder about one case that typically was never properly investigated. A Dem. agent was discovered w/ a voting machin in his car. I can imagine them sticking 10 cards at a time in the machines. Non wonder all the "dangling chads." Given the Dems history of ganster politics.

[GFedFan]

@VictorLepanto You act like Republicans haven't had their share of frauds and other such incidents.

[VictorLepanto]

@GFedFan: Both the Sun & the Moon light up the sky. They are hardly the same. The history of the Dems., from being apologists for slavery, to being protectors of the Jim Crow system in the South, to the gangster politics of the likes Daly & the Obamation & all of Chicago & other places. The Dems have had long, broad, & deeply corrupting influence on American politics.

[KellAnderson]

@GFedFan What about what he said was inaccurate?

[GFedFan]

@KellAnderson It just didn't sound true in general. I'm not overly trusting of Beck. The fact that he works for Fox is bad enough.

[GFedFan]

@SinnFein4ever I'm not calling you stupid or anything, but it's not possible that we could have an ellection in 2001. We have an election every 4 years. I think you mean the election of the year 2000. (The year the world "ended")

[surfer53]

ONE Republican might have stolen ONE election, but the elites have been hijacking the DNC for years. Imagine if the Superdelegates went Hillary's way. Talk about all heck breaking loose. These stupid Superdelegates almost cost the election and if the GOP had been able to get it together with a decent nominee, they might have.

[jp3711nc1]

@surfer53 He won get over it cry me a freaking river.

[spokmage]

this is possibly the most retarded thing i've ever seen.

[NiemandBinich]

Super Delegates or Super Dupes?

[Mizzuru]

Blurgh, is there anything worse than obviously biased yellow journalism?

[Tryoverdemand]

stfu socialist

[HappySunnyDay42]

He's not a journalist. His job is to state his opinion.

[stemm09]

Oh GO Miley Cyrus!

[PadraikKasier]

LOL "anybody got a towel?"

[coelho52]

That kind of fucks even more the USA elections

[USAPatriot45]

Because Obama has saved the economy and gained us international prestige? Keep drinkin the koolaid

[HappySunnyDay42]

Um, he did? And what about koolaid?

[Meralzhe]

He DID? Where are you living man? the president is a liar when it comes to giving facts... Or possiblities. Always gives the BEST that possibly COULD be true. Who in the world would like a president who tells the truth? That the reason 2/3 of the stimulus package has yet to be spent is because the economy WILL get worse? Why add on another bill while you still have 500billion or so to spend? They know the economy is going to get worse... But what politicican would want to tell us that?ay42

[TheMentauk]

@Meralzhe Yes, stock market went from 6500 and worse to over 10000. Do you think spending on that level is possible if not to avoid an ecomic catastrophe? A catastrophe George Bush warned of, and possibly created.

[AvidElephant]

great job, however, it was Hubert Humphrey =P

[InvisibleEmperor]

Glenn Beck is a moron.

The Superdelegates recognise that their power is undermocratic and thus far have never felt the winning candidate was bad enough for them to vote against and try and swing it their way. The overwhelming majority of SuperDelegates DO vote for the candidate who is leading in the popular vote, so this entire video is both misleading and pointless.

[USAPatriot45]

Actually no. Think about it if it is undemocratic and they recognize that why are they still there? Obliviously it is because they want a way out if they need it.

[verxintRising]

This is the primaries though, right?

I always thought the primary process was stupid on both sides. But whatever.

If the people don't like their party candidate, they can vote for someone else. So the Super Delegates don't really have the power to decide elections.

[USAPatriot45]

Actually no because of the 20% vote can be given to any canidate they want.That does make a huge difference in an election. You would need a huge offset to win.

[kainsirusque]

Primaries are not part of the official election process. The party can nominate however they want. It is wise to get insight from the Democratic public when choosing your nominee, but it is not the end-all factor. Otherwise you might end up with someone too liberal to win the general. No party is obligated to use any particular method in choosing their candidate; and you can always run as NPA. What you're doing is simply bemoaning the bipartisan substructure of the US Government sytem.

[Kumosabe]

It still takes power from democratic voters >.>

[Kumosabe]

Oh, and the usa goverment DOES suck -.-

[the06bug]

I'm an American and I agree with youse!

[sellblock1138]

this is so true, I was beating my head with a hammer whin they talked about what the supper delagates were

[Leathertoast]

Fuck whoever marked this comment as spam.

[onstageagain]

innocent !!!

[blackbeltme]

Oh, go Miley Cyrus!

[PadawanLeia]

America runs on Dunkin'!...what?

[PadawanLeia]

Yeah, I know. It's a quote, and I just thought it was funny! ;)

Thanks!

[iloveteaandcoffee]

The motto of Dunkin Donuts, man.

[zoads82]

I have an idea, it works in Louisiana. It's called a jungle primary. Have all the Democrats, Republicans, other party candidates and Independents running for President all on one ballot. A winner is declared if a candidate has over 50 percent of the vote. If a candidate dosen't have over 50% percent of the vote. There will a runoff of the top 2 candidates, even if both candidates are of the same party, To me seems like a better idea than having one member from each party running for President.

[michaeld5]

Love it.

[zoads82]

Thank You

[FanaticalCrusader]

Awesome Idea! :D

[zoads82]

With this, it gets rid of the party primaries and the superdelegates. The funny part about the jungle primary, it was used to keep repulicans from growing in the "democratic" Louisiana by former Gov. Edwin Edwards.

[Datharion]

love the dems now lets vote even though it wont matter...litterally...maybe we should...not vote...ehh...i will vote...just cuz i think its fun...and well thats it...later maybe they will fix it.

[FanaticalCrusader]

I don't vote anymore.

These day, I just follow the Pope! :D

haha

+<:-l

[zoads82]

Brilliant

[dartman348]

"I brought RAISIN SCONES for everybody!!!"

An easy five stars

I heard this on the radio the day it came out and I love this too,

[jediisanut]

and the tower is reaching it's top and we walk away not knowing what each other is saying and how we all live with it.?

[TheNewFiyinite7]

I don't get how anyone would even join the Democratic party knowing their votes don't mean a damn thing.

[TheNewFiyinite7]

I don't get it...

[drummer703]

bottom line, democrats sway peoples vote by voting for who THEY want and not who the people want

[zoads82]

Wow.... that's pretty democratic.

[drummer703]

and you thought republicans were stealing elections.

[zoads82]

ha ha ha.....riiiiiiiight.

[mrdspike]

@drummer703 I used to, till I found out that everything I knew was a lie

[Rajaat99]

"They did what politicians always do, they screwed it up even more."

It's funny because it's true.

[beckpod1]

Super delegates could end this race at any time....are they getting a percentage of the funds been raised or something?

Keep it going 'til the money dries up!!

Then ..convention time.."PARTY_PARTY"!!

quit donating...move forward!

[philippe1985]

And I wouldn't be surprised that a a Democrat would like to run America the way they do with the Democratic party. Unfortunately Republicans became like Democrats, so Americans do not have much choices left

[doubleplay0798]

Sorry DissentTV...Glenn Beck is not a republican....he's independent. Get your facts straight. The more all this crap goes on, I keep thinking about going independent too. And btw...superdelegates are total bullcrap and shouldn't be allowed.

I know he dropped out...but i'm still voting for Fred Thompson, haha. He's actually a conservative...unlike John McCain.

[aggtizzle]

agreed!! superdelegates are assinine! - "and u STILL thought the republicans were stealing the elections!"

[DissentTV]

go back to complaining about grand theft auto 4 glenn....no one takes you serious you neocon hack!!!!!

[jp3711nc1]

you are just saying that because its true dems missed there delegate count up because of this sad but rue you just cant take the facts.

[DissentTV]

im not a democrat at all i just hate this neocon mouthpiece whos no more than a prostitute for the republican party

[TheNewFiyinite7]

And of course all you can do is rant about him. Why don't you use some solid facts about at least one thing he's said that's wrong? I can't think of anything, can you? And I want an actual quote, not a pathetic misinterpratation.

[einstin2]

haha Glenn Beck is truely awesome. "And you thought Republicans were stealing elections"

[ConservativeVoiceUSA]

LMAO! 5 Stars

[seneca67]

How are these super delegates picked?

[Georgepatton3]

superdelegates are "senior party members," which is short for anybody they can find to get more delegates. Representatives, governors, senators, and other such people usually picked as superdelegates.

[seneca67]

Yes, but how are they picked, i mean the list reads like a bunch of b movie celebrities. I agree though the whole thing is completely wrong. No integrity to the process at all.

[durco01]

The chairman Howard Dean. Picks them.

[belnumcree]

ROFLMAO "I brought raisin scones"

[BUDDAWG2004]

im voting for hannah

[bbburton]

In fact the GOP does the same thing. So why do yo call it the history of the DNC super delegates? That's your biggest problem, you don't tell the whole story. That's why you lose the respect of everyone who supports Ron Paul.

[JuggaloJohn]

no they don't, McCain has been pick to be the "R"'s Runner for like 4 months now, when there was 3 good choices to get behind.

[bbburton]

What I was referring to was the super delegates. Both parties use super delegates.

[Georgepatton3]

Yes, the GOP also uses unpledged delegates. The reason why the Democrats are so controversial is that their "superdelegates" make up 20% of all votes at the convention and can have a huge effect on the race, while the delegates for the GOP are almost all pledged by the primary process rather than at the delegate's discretion.

[bbburton]

Please tell me why "super delegates" should even exist? You all act like there is no problem here. WTF?! Why do we even bother with elections if the "super delegates" have the last say? Look what is happening, people. Elections are becoming irrelevant. Why do you think cynicism is so high? Voters are being disenfranchised by both parties. If you think this is okay, then something is wrong with you all as well.

[Georgepatton3]

superdelegates truly are a slap in the face to democracy. i could maybe see having 5-10 superdelegates for really influential party members, but the 100s of superdelegates chosen by each party is sickening. it proves that the government does not trust the ordinary people to make the right choice.

[naughtypagan72]

But there are only about 10% un-pledged delegates in the RNC, as apposed to almost 40% in the DNC.

[mrgrieves9876]

both parties suck and in love with the military industrial complex

[1257Dark]

That has to be the most gibberingly wrong explaination of why there are SDs ever.

[arkmay3]

Would you care to explain why there are SDs then? TY in advance.

[TheBuck26]

I heard this on the radio a while back and again on TV with the cartoon. This gets funnier every time I see/hear it. Especially the Hannah Montana part. You go, Glenn!

[jojofry99]

Glenn is hilarious. I was on the floor when i saw this... Makes you wonder how anyone can vote for obama or hillary...The donkey head is just to funny..

[carpenter6314]

What??? How???

[117wolf]

So essentially the Democrats aren't very democratic and by doing this thing with the SD they confirm that their party is indeed elitist in nature.

[stealth63]

Whereas the repubs just give the nod to whoever happens to suck the least. I really love it when republicans call dems elite. The party led by the idiot son of a second generation millionaire politician, who got into Yale and Harvard on legacy considerations, who got out of his military service through his connections, whose family friends bailed him out of his numerous failed "bidnesses". Yeah, the dems are elite. Don't even get started on 100 million McCain, that old beer gigolo. Too funny!

[117wolf]

I get the feeling that you don't like President Bush, and thats fine most of his own party doesn't ether. However the Republican party isn't lead by just one person. Also just because McCain has lots of money doesn't make him an elitist.

[stealth63]

McCain wails about Obama not understanding the common man b/c an 18 cent reduction in gas will not really help our bottom line.The guy who uses the "Socialized Medicine" boogie-man every time someone mentions that EVERY other industrialized country has better health care than us,while he has been on "socialized medicine" his ENTIRE LIFE! Are you kidding me? He,like most repubs, consistently votes to protect corporate profits,not the common man. 2 kinds of repubs: Rich and suckers. Which are you?

[EvernhamMotorsports9]

aye, fuck you you liberal hippie democrat

[stealth63]

Kiss my ass you ridiculous troll

[Georgepatton3]

listen, you don't have to be rich or dumb to be a republican. i take offense at the prospect that everyone who sees the world differently than you is a troll. socialized medicine, in case you've never heard of the UK or Canada, is a ridiculous concept.especially the way that clinton and obama propose it. i don't support john mccain either. both parties are corrupt, and neither have the right idea. i wish that a decent independent candidate would run for once

[stealth63]

"Socialized med" or universal health care, is overwhelmingly supported by those countries that have it. People bitch about it(like all govt)support it. Read up on it (unbiased reports) The prob I have with the neocons is they don't practice what they preach. Good governance? (the CEO pres?)Small govt? (largest govt expan since Johnson)Fiscal restraint?(record pork/deficit)self reliance(ie no handouts for people, but billions in corp welfare)etc. I agree-only 2 parties is a recipe for corruption

[ZaZona]

At long last I understand Super Delegates!

[canncann89]

HAHA Democratic process = joke

[SteveKi]

I saw this on t.v. yesterday hilarious and great explanation. Good stuff, long live Glen Beck.

[speeddialcoach]

Finally, someone explains this whole Super Delegate fiasco, making complete sense, in a cartoon, nonetheless... Aren't we all just living in a cartoon lately, anyway? Sure seems like it, thanks to the SuperDelegates!

[dtaijo174]

HAAAAAAAAAHAAAA!

Best Glen Beck video EVER!

*****

[Taiyama2]

I love Glenn Beck's cartoons, they're always hilarious.

"I brought Raisen Scones for everybody!"

[rtaylor551]

Glenn does it again!!! This is excellent, as always...

[whiterosesjrny]

Glenn is hilarious. Great job!

[Johnrosssssss]

I never knew that, this is something else... this makes me think the Democrats are... western party of communists... lol I mean... they try to control us like were some.. pieces to a checker board game they sit around and play, they act like they own us, I dont like them

[bethechangexx]

this is kind of really awesome

:D

[travelsatnight]

I would like to know why nobody was showing up to the primaries when the people were given the power to vote... that's strange. (especially if there are raison scones)

[Upwayataoldotcom]

I LOVE This!!!

[Markxpx06]

this is amazing!
