Is it true democrats form a circle when forming a firing squad?

Cause if Howard Dean's Charlie Foxtrot with Florida and Michigan is any indication, the self destruction of the loony left is inevitable.Is it true democrats form a circle when forming a firing squad?
LOL, I needed that laugh...I am sure it is.. and Pelosi and Reid stand in the middle and yell FIRE!!!!Is it true democrats form a circle when forming a firing squad?
Yes, when ever Hillary organizes anything within the party or is on the campaign trail!
Jas G it was not the cost. The DNC agreed to pay for it. Obama rejected it and Florida would only have another primary if both candidates agreed. Once again Baracka spoke out of both sides of his mouth.





Also, the dislike and hate for Baracka far out rides our qualms about McCain. If Clinton doesn't get the nomination, many of us will vote for the war monger McCain. At least he is a patriotic American.





I confess, I am part of the left, but not the loony left. That is reserved for such small minds as Pelosi and Reid. But I loved the circle thing and putting them in the middle was priceless, ChestyP.
You could say the same about the loony right
An interesting way of putting it, rather creative.





However, I don't think its as bad as it looks right now. Howard Dean MAY be able to convince Michigan and Florida Democrats to vote in the general election anyway, regardless of who wins the nomination. He can point out that he did try to give them a chance to fix the situation and vote again, and only cost stopped them from re-doing it.





Added to that, McCain has tied his hopes for the general election win almost entirely to the Iraq war. And though he is seen right now as being able to make smart choices for the war, this war is still unpopular. And note that I am not talking about the morality of the war. Regardless of whether you believe the war is moral or not, no one can argue that it is popular.





McCain is aligning himself with Bush's policies as a way of wooing the Conservative base. But considering Bush's lack of support among Independents, that could be a bad idea. He'll lose a lot of support among Independents that just want out.





And while quite a few Democrats say they won't vote or will vote for John McCain if their favorite candidate loses the Dem nomination, that is only because of the current fighting. As time goes along and the infighting becomes a distant memory, while at the same time McCain's support for the war and lack of economic experience is brought to the forefront, Democrats will let go and galvanize behind the candidate (regardless of who it is).





What I foresee is that the Conservative base will consider McCain to be the lesser of two evils (since at the time of the general election there will be only one Dem. still running) and will side with McCain; the Democrat base will side with whichever Democrat wins because their hate for the war will overpower their hate for the current backstabbing; and the Independents will have the deciding votes, just like they always do.





So its not as bad for the Democrats as it looks right now; though McCain certainly is a strong opponent for them and has a great chance of winning.




















Add-on:





Howard Dean said they could re-do it over. But they needed approval from both Clinton and Obama, and that the DNC would not pay for it. Because in Howard Dean's words (paraphrased) the DNC should not have to give money that would be better used in the general election to make up for Florida and Michigan breaking the rules.





But he said if they are willing to pay for it the DNC would take the results. Obama said no to taking the results of the first primaries they did (the banned ones) because he did not campaign in Florida because he followed the rules. And he wasn't even on the ballot in Michigan, so no one voted for him there because he literally was not on the ballot.





But he was willing to be part of a do-over. However, Florida didn't want to pay for theirs, and many of the Democrat politicians had problems with the mail-in votes process. Michigan felt it would not have time nor money to accomplish a do-over and abandoned the idea as well.





But Obama was willing to give permission. Cost is what stopped the Democrats in these two states.
They learned that from their Mexican friends. It is always a hit.
ah, good one especially about Pelosi and Reid standing in the middle
