Question:
Have you ever seen any organization as dysfunctional as the Democratic Party?

Chewing up and spitting each other out does not help with a single issue the people are concerned about;
It is obvious they cannot/willnot get out our troops from Iraq;
Trying to get UHC will be challenged and our representatives will be inundated with opposing people just like amnesty was.
Howard Dean screwed up the Michigan/Florida elections;
We are getting no details because they know when the price tag is known these liberal programs will be solidly rejected.
Pelosi/Reid have broken their promises on transparancy and pork barrel spending, restoring integrity, bringing the parties together.
This Democratic Congress knows we care about illegal immigration, exorbitant gas prices, higher food prices, loss of jobs (a lot to illegals), foreclosures. The things that affect our daily lives. They take their uncalled for, paid vacations and when they are in session do nothing practical.
The Democratic party is totally dysfunctional and 'we the people' will pay the price.

Yes, 'we the people' will bear and have borne the burden of greedy, power hungry politicos, both Republican and Democrat.

It seems that once a person becomes a politician, greed takes over like a demon possession.

I have watched carefully this democratic party race. What I continue to see is Shrillary's camp putting themselves, herself in the position where she needs to apologize to Obama and the general public. Since the race first began, it is Obama who wanted to stand by the issues and represent an upright, respectable campaign, but Shrill's camp continues to bring up false allegations, Muslim rhetoric, race baiting (and Bill also), and she is unable to keep a lid on her camp, but I feel this is planned somewhat on her part.



She has repeatedly put Obama in a position where he must explain or continue to defend himself against the abusive and slashing, smear tactics thwarted by Shrillary's camp, and her directly. She says one thing "how wonderful it is to stand with Obama" but then less than 48 hours later, "shame on you Barack Obama".



She makes comments like "Oh, the celestial gates will open and the stars will illuminate and the whole world will be as one, etc.", taking yet another jab at Obama.



She even made the outrageous comment that "her and McCain were qualified to be president but that Obama was not", only to later throw out the idea of Obama running on her ticket as Vice President??? Well, what would happen if Shrillary was ill or even dead? This would mean that Obama would become President and thus would make decisions on what to do in the event the 3:AM call would come thru.



How does she slam and degrade Obama stating he isn't qualified for the position, when a few days later says she wouldn entertain the idea of him running on her ticket as Vice President??



Again, Obama has to defend himself. She's always putting him in a position to explain or defend against her constant instability and attacks, so I ask you QUESTIONER????---who is truly the dysfunctional one? Who is truly the dispicable one causing overwhelmingly bitterness and chaos in the democratic party?



For certain it has been one-sided, and the person/camp to blame for this is Shrillary, the white witch of the east. Truly she and her camp have been an embarrassment not only to the democractic party campaign, but to the U.S. citizens, our government, and continue setting a pattern of embarrassment world wild. She should concede now while she still has some shred of pride left.



Obama is our man...for sure he's been a real trooper throughout all the abuses and has come thru strong and superior, as the forerunner and winner of what America wants to see in their whitehouse. He brings forth change and a mentality that is against what Shrillary has been cesspooling in since the inception of this campaign. Shrillary has emerged as the horrible candidate that has alienated many supporters, and of course voters from her side.



I support Obama all the way.

When are we going to stop putting our parties before everything else. Both parties are so caught up in holding on to or regaining their power that

they will ignore any damage that they are doing to our country. The attitude seems to be "after the election we will come back and repair the damage". Both parties are doing the things that they accuse the other of doing.

Their decision to apply Proportional illustration interior the primaries thereby persevering with the competition longer and making it greater bitter. I additionally think of the unhappiness from being out of the White abode so long has contributed to this bitterness.

Actually it is both parties that have long ago forgotten that their job is to serve the people not their own interests.



Some of the items that you care a bunch about such as the foreclosures, job loss, and food prices that are more market driven and the Federal, local, and states should stay out of these areas.

Howard Dean is doing a great job with the DNC and overseeing Dems bid for the White House. Another few months of this and McCain will waltz down Pennsylvania Ave. Dean has perhaps made a fatal mistake with Florida and Michigan. It may cost them the election.

Hold on there!

Yes, all you say in your question may be true, BUT...

Don't start the Republican victory dance just yet.

Remember that the Dems are like a family who can fight with each other and look really stupid and down & out; but when an outsider tries to step in, they can join together like SuperGlue gone Wild.

They really do 'take the cake'. Now our town government here (mostly democrats) are exactly the same, only on a smaller scale. Can't seem to get there act together!

If the Democrat Party don't start narrowing some things down, McCain will win...

BTW: I am a Dem.

But I will not vote Obama!

Nice rant.

How does it feel to toe the party line?



Dysfunctional, huh?

At least the Democratic Party is able to field candidates that Democrats like.

The Republican Party is backing McCain, and you guys don't even like him. You KNOW that a real Republican couldn't get in office. So the Republican Party looked through its ranks for the one member that wasn't rabid and the best it could find was McCain.



So, what's your point?

Seriously, who cares about politics? It is two steps beneath professional wrestling intellectually.

The Democratic Party -- snatching defeat from the jaws of victory yet again. Man, I feel so codependent! Maybe we should hold an intervention instead of a convention.

The Democratic party might appear disorganized because it has a very diverse membership. The more points of view you allow, the more disorganized you will appear to be. In this case appearing disorganized is a good thing. Having a diverse membership and allowing different points of view is a strength, not a weakness. It is called Democracy. Any large organization will have its problems and faults, including the Pentagon.

RUSH IS A GENIUS!



Without Rush getting Texas republicans to vote for Hillary last week, Obama would be the nominee.



But now we get to see Obama and Hillary battle it out for a month to see who is the bigger socialist and who will promise the blacks the most!

I am so thnakful that the Republicans didn't go on vacation for the six years they had the majority (sarcasm)

And such a wonderful job they did in creating the 9 Trillion dollar deficit that we are now saddled with.
