Lead up to the Iraq War is no different from the Lead up to Denver UNLESS YOU HELP STOP IT

Inevitability: Finding WPMs in Iraq and Obama as the DNC Nominee

Perhaps the meaning of inevitability should be couched in a post 9-11 definition.  Inevitability redefined means “because the Press and the Political Elite make it so.”  Inevitable is no longer due to ANY underlying facts. We are no longer in a one person one vote world.  It is time to tell the DNC to stop its War on Democracy.

The Denver Group and its founders Heidi Li Feldman and Marc Rubin remind me of the early roots of Move-on and the few voices against the Iraq War I could find when I was trying to find a way to join a movement to prevent that war.  There were a few voices in the wilderness speaking truth, but the press and politicos were playing up the Slam Dunk of finding WMD in Iran like the second coming.  They even had up to 65% of the population believing that Saddam Hussein was behind the 9/11 attacks.   I can remember sitting in a restaurant discussing the inanity of any war in Iraq and being yelled at by many folks from the surrounding tables as being an unpatriotic peacenik. No amount of reason could stop the race towards this unnecessary war.  The Press and the Politicos wanted it.

Now, with so many realizing the truth, I can hardly believe we see the same tactics in play to anoint a DNC general election candidate based on lies and back room manipulations hidden from the general public.  Not only are they in play, they APPEAR TO BE WORKING!  Is the ordinary American really that stupid?  We now have  some folks working hard to play up the Slam Dunk claim that is Obama as Democratic Party Nominee.  Just as then Secretary of State Colin Powell was sent to the United Nations with phony evidence debunked by many within the CIA, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, and Howard Dean are touting the inevitability of a unified party and an Obama ascendancy  by stacking the deck against reality and the truth.

Are you willing to let that happen?

I know Heidi and I’ve read Marc’s blog since its inception.  I suggest you check out my links to Tom in Paine or Heidi Li’s Potpourri in the side bar.  You can also get a great interview with them at this thread on No Quarter:  http://noquarterusa.net/blog/2008/07/03/breaking-nq-radio-interview-the-denver-group/  .  They are looking to make the DNC accountable for their actions during this primary season.

From their site:

Insuring that Senator Clinton’s name is on the ballot requires sending a message to Howard Dean,the DNC and the country at large that the Democratic Party is playing with fire to even consider subverting democratic principles by removing her name and having anything less than an open honest convention.It also sends the message that the false sense of party unity that’s being promoted by the Democratic Party and willingly repeated by the news media is just that — false.

There are many factors conspiring to try and keep Senator Clinton’s name off the ballot not the least of which is the fear by some that, given the events of the last few weeks, she could actually win.

At a dinner with Clinton donors two weeks ago, Senator Obama was asked if he supported Senator Clintons name on the ballot. His answer was that he wasn’t there to negotiate the convention. We think its fair to say that if Senator Obama has his way her name wont be on the ballot and he will use all his influence with the DNC to accomplish that. A mass media approach is a very public way of pushing back and letting the DNC know there’s another side watching and there will be dire consequences if that happens.

I’m still appalled by the complete lack of truthfulness and democracy that occurred during this primary season that may eventually lead us into a War Against Democracy in the same way we were led to a War Against Iraq under the guise of lies.  Take a real look at some of the things that are going on.

This from Clinton Dems:

There has been a concerted effort to flip every Clinton delegate, pledged or otherwise, to Obama to remove the possibility of Obama being upstaged at the convention.   You see, no one is the nominee at the convention until one of the candidates receives the magic number of delegates.  That is why Obama is strong-arming anyone that continues to stick with Hillary.

Obama is now working through state parties to pilfer more delegates pledged to Hillary or get Hillary supporters removed or replaced.  They are also bullying others to defect.  Just a few delegates switching to Hillary at this point could still cause Obama to LOOSE the Nomination in Denver. He is NOT inevitable in the traditional since.  He is only inevitable in the post 9-11 sense.  He is trying to be inevitable by lying, cheating, manipulating the press, threatening state level candidates, superdelegates, and parties.  After Super Tuesday, and after the release of the Wright videos, Obama lost the majority of the remaining contests.  He’s considered ahead right now, ONLY, because his minions have bullied so many superdelegates and played the race card like a nuclear weapon.
