Wisconsin State Democrats oust delegate over John McCain support

Debra Bartoshevich, a delegate to the Denver Democratic National Convention, did not help her case by repeatedly referring to the "Democrat Party" during Friday's conference call. That angered commitee members, who view that as a slur used by Republicans. One chastised her for using "Rush Limbaugh's talking points." Bartoshevich said she didn't understand and kept using the offending term........

.

Wisconsin Democrats on Friday ousted a delegate to their national convention for saying she would vote for Republican presidential candidate Sen. John McCain in November.

Embarrassed by a defection in their ranks, the Wisconsin Democratic Party's administrative committee voted 23-0 to strip Debra Bartoshevich of her status as a delegate to the Denver convention next month.

Bartoshevich was elected by party activists as a pledged delegate for Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton from the 1st Congressional District in southeastern Wisconsin. But after Clinton dropped out of the race, Bartoshevich told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel she would support McCain over Democratic Sen. Barack Obama.

During a stop in suburban Milwaukee on Thursday, McCain deputy campaign manager Mike DuHaime said Bartoshevich symbolized the many former Clinton supporters now backing McCain. "We would certainly welcome her to the McCain camp," he said.

Not a surprise. I’d imagine the same would happen in one of our caucuses. Those conventions are for party hacks and if you can’t tow the party line you’ll get the heave-ho.

"Democrat Party"

They were offended because she referred to them by their name? They do have a problem.

There will be a big difference in reporting though.

Here it is the evil delegate who invited the wrath of the Party down on her..

When it happens in the Republican Party it will be the evil, intolerant, racist, homophobic, bigoted Party, throwing the poor innocent, black gay delegate under the bus for no apparent reason.

No question. The MSM would try to turn it into a scandal if it were an Obamafied R that was ousted

The proper name is Democratic Party. Only a rabid anti-Demite would use the term Democrat Party.

JERRY: So you won’t believe what happened with Whatley today. It got back to hime that I made this little dentist joke and he got all offended. Those people can be so touchy.
KRAMER: Those people, listen to yourself.
JERRY: What?
KRAMER: You think that dentists are so different from me and you? They came to this country just like everybody else, in search of a dream.
JERRY: Kramer, he’s just a dentist.
KRAMER: Yeah, and you’re an anti-dentite.

JERRY: I am not an anti-dentite!
KRAMER: You’re a rabid anti-dentite! Oh, it starts with a few jokes and some slurs. “Hey, denty!” Next thing you know you’re saying they should have their own schools.
JERRY: They do have their own schools!
KRAMER: Yeah!....

She was polite and inaccurate calling”IT” the Democrat Party as Rush is also.

It is the “DEMORAT PARTY!”

and that is extremely polite for what the Party has become in the past several years!!!!
