To quote a writer from another conservative website "Everyone was kung fu fighting"

Amazing-they are going to hand McCain the Presidency. What a shame Thompson isn't the recipient of the Democratic Civil War.

The activists who are tired of the two-party system are Communists. The same Communists who led the so called anti-war movement (the same Communists who support Palestinian terrorists in their war).

And while it may be illegal for foreigners to vote in our election, it is legal for foreigners to protest in America. If another WTO type riot breaks out, that is among the contingent plans. They should be denied entry into the country. They are agitators. And Communists.

They are fighting over which Democrat is the better Marxist to lead the U.S.S.A..

They do realize that the favorite to win the Democratic nomination got shot right?

Ah, but the revenue potential for the latest protest song is staggering. Will CSN&Y have a benefit concert? Will there be a Woodstock concert?...

There will be no pictures of you and Willie May
pushing that shopping cart down the block on the dead run,
or trying to slide that color television into a stolen ambulance.
NBC will not be able predict the winner at 8:32
or report from 29 districts.
The revolution will not be televised.

“MARK COHEN: We do know that the city council has allocated $5 million for new weapons for the Denver Police Department. We know that in St. Paul, they have issued tasers to every single officer on the force. We’re aware that there are new weapons out there that are being ostensibly used for crowd control in places like Iraq. But we’ve seen a report on 60 Minutes, for example, where they were doing field tests with these weapons, and the people they were testing on were dressed as protesters and carrying protest-type signs. So we have a feeling that the field tests for these new weapons are going to be at the Democratic National Convention and possibly the Republican Convention, as well. So, the weapons that are being designed primarily for military use are going to be used on peaceful, nonviolent protesters.”

giggle.

FTA: It remains to be seen whether the Democrats will ultimately take their fight for a presidential candidate all the way to the Democratic National Convention this August in Denver

Really? It remains to be seen? You will never see Hillary quit. Never. Ever. Anything less than her winning will result in total annihilation of the Democrat party at her hand by dragging it all the way to the convention in Denver.

Which is funny, if you think about it.

It should be legal to hunt and trap ACLU plague rats.

Some folks just have a pathological obsession with re-creating the “glory days” of 60’s protest.

I'm sure the Democrats will be in substantial disarray for some time to come.

And equally sure that McCain and the Republicans will also run a somewhat inept campaign, and miss many opportunities to make the case for conservatism.

So it's a race to see who stumbles the least, and turns off the fewest voters, before Election Day.

Whichever candidate speaks the LEAST will win.

Please excuse the extreme cynicism. It's been a long day.

I've been thinking about this. Here is a scenario that could play itself out. Hillary makes a deal with Obama and the DNC .. they agree to pay off her $20 million (plus) campaign debt .. make Bill a Diplomat .. support her strongly in the next NY Senate race .. and she will go away .. and start saying nice things about Obama.

By now, she knows she isn't going to be the next President. We know what she is .. so it's just a question of "how much?". When it comes to corruption, the Russian mafia has nothing on her. She can be bought and will go away for the right price.

Why do these people want to protest against their allies?

That sounds good, except for one part. Hillary wants to be President, not Senator, and not a diplomat’s wife. She has been the First Lady of the United States and that wasn’t enough. She’s been a governor’s wife. She’s been lots of things, and she is sure she is supposed to be President.

I have read it written more than once by people who have known them that the Clintons have stayed together because they have a deal. First it was his turn, then it would be hers.

She’s put up with his cheating and rubbing it in her face, she’s been shamed (to the degree that that is possible) and she has been made fun of.

I’m not sure she can be bought because she has tons of money. How much more does anyone need when they are millionaires 100 times over?

You can see it in everything she does. If she had been so inclined, she could have been Veep on the ticket, but she doesn’t want to be Veep.

It’s been “all or nothing” with her run and she is leaving a scorched earth in her wake.

It has an air of Greek Tragedy surrounding it. Fascinating with a touch of schadenfreude.

Because their allies aren't radical enough for them.

It remains to be seen if the protesters will be peaceful and non-violent. Authorities should prepare for the worst. With these guys saying they want to “Re-create ‘68”, isn’t that a clear warning to expect that violence could happen??????

"The convention will have a significant economic impact not just on Denver, but it will have a ripple effect across the entire state and the West. This will be great for Denver and great for Colorado. A major reason we were able to compete against a city like New York and ultimately win ... is because Denver made important investments in infrastructure."
-- Bill Ritter, Governor of Colorado

"Like the Democratic Party itself, the Mile High City embodies the 21st century ideals of economic strength, environmental consciousness, regional collaboration, cutting-edge technological infrastructure and visionary zeal that will help lead America in the year 2008 and beyond."
-- John Hickenlooper, Mayor of Denver
