Do you blame Hillary, Rush Limbaugh or the Democrat system for putting the Dem party in the mess they are in?

I blame Obama, and the fools who think he is electable.

Both the Dem's' and re pubs' can rarely agree on anything even when they want the same thing. Unless you go to c-span you will not see much coverage of third party candidates. Large corporations make huge contributions to candidates they support,you are limited in how much you can donate to a candidate personally. Corporations set up committees and groups to support and fund candidates. The latest bankruptcy laws were written by the banking industry for congress to make into law and it bit them in the butt. The other problem is that some people vote for 1 party all the time,either because they support that party all the time and believe it is the only party to do whats right,or they are dissatisfied with the other party for some reason. Both parties want it their way and will compromise some to get their way. If what I read on the Internet last night is even half true,this election may not matter anyway. If we have another attack like 9/11 or a major disaster before the elections F.E.M.A . will take control and George Bush will become the true power of government. If it happens after the elections and before the new president takes office,I don't know what will happen. G.W. signed an executive order for the continuity of government and F.E.M.A. will take over and suspend the constitution and the President will be the unity executive. Congress and the Supreme Court will still exist but will have very little voice,the President has the final say in all matters. There was also another site talking about the formation of the North American Union (Canada,U.S. and Mexico forming a union like the E.U. and the U.S. Constitution will be gone.

The democrats did this to themselves,pure and simple.The ego's of Hillary(ous) and Obama are enough to create the fervor,but the processes of the DNC and the idea of super delegates over-riding the Voters,vote, is just a firecracker waiting to happen.You cant blame Rush for capitalizing on a well known weakness in the Democrats process.Besides after Romney was knocked out,wasnt it the liberal press that said Rush was insignificant.

"My momma always taught me to play by the rules, and to respect those rules. When you decide to change the rules in the middle of the game or end of the game, that is referred to as cheating."

A Hillary Clinton campaign executive (Harold Ickes) actually cast a vote to not seat the Florida and Michigan delegates and is now out there protesting the same ruling. What kind of HYPOCRISY is that?

Hillary Clinton agreed that those primaries would not count and it's only after she lost the nomination that she is trying to change the rules.

I believe that is referred to as cheating.

The political parties are private entities who are free to set up their rules as they see fit. There is NO constitutional right to vote in primaries. The FL and MI democrats broke party rules by moving their primaries up.

And I'm tired of this myth that the state republicans are responsible for Florida moving their primaries up.

Florida Senator Jeremy Ring, Democratic state senator from Broward County, introduced the early primary bill and sponsored it. He said this about it:

"If the choice is Florida is relevant and has no delegates versus being irrelevant and having delegates, I'd choose being relevant with no delegates," Ring said. "We did this so 18 million Floridians could take part in the presidential primaries, not so a few hundred people can go to a party in Denver."

and: "I think we have successfully blown up this antiquated primary process," he said in a phone interview last week. "I have absolutely no regrets."

This is a person put into office by the democrats of Florida. They chose this person to represent them.

This is not the DNC's fault. They followed the rules that have been set up for years, rules that 48 other states followed. FL and MI chose to break the rules and they suffered the consequences. Hillary is the one who is making an issue out of it. The thing is, she doesn't even care about the voters of those states. If both were seated in full yesterday she would still be behind. She wanted the decision she got so she can contest it to the convention. That's all she was looking for, a reason for her to stay in the race until the convention so she can steal the nomination in a backroom deal in Denver.

I don't see them in being in TOO huge of a mess, although they've done what I hoped for but didn't think would happen, in nominating Obama. In a year when they could have easily won the Presidency, they have put up a controversial and very liberal candidate who is also a minority. Now, things are so bad for Republicans in terms of public perception that he could actually win this, but a more reasonable candidate could have walked away with the ulitimate prize almost without campaigning. To answer your question, I blame the Democratic system, the primary and early caucus system necessarily gives them the most liberal candidate in the field (Carter, Mondale, Dukakis, now Obama) with the one exception being Clinton (who won of course).

The DNC for not seeing what a party divider trying to get either a Black man or a woman into the White house at the same time.

Rush just likes to make noise to sound important. That's his stick.

Poor ole Hillary, the fighter, the runner, the fixer, the EverReady battery, She just wants to show Bill she can do a better job than he did..

What a mess!! OMnT

it's the democrats, they screwed it up themselves. Although I'll admit Rush Limbaugh had a hand in it, it was mostly the democratic system/party and Hillary. She is contributing to the mess by wanting Michigan and Florida's delegates counted.

The dems are falling apart and Limbaugh is to blame......... He wishes. They do a good job mucking things up on their own. Ole Jimmy Carter is helping things along,too.Put the blame where it belongs,not on the other party.

The Democrats for putting someone like Obama on the ticket. This should have been an easy win for them and what do they do? Find the guy with THE most liberal voting record in the Senate. On top of that, did they even do a background investigation on Obama? They should have known that a guy coming from dirty Chicago politics would have a questionable background.

I think we have had more than enough time as voters to recognize the fact that Hillary is weak, and only wants the job for image purposes. I blame her supporters for not seeing that if they trully want to see change they need to start supporting Obama. The voters are the real issue. Afterall if they weren't voting at all there wouldn't even be a campaign
