We here at Awesome Politics tend to practice either the politics of dancing, or the politics of mocking, but it appears that our center-right-masquerading-as-lefties-a-la-TNR friends over at TalkLeft have decided to take off the gloves and practice the politics of making shit up (sort of).
If funding an ELECTION, where no money goes to the voters themselves, can be questioned, what do we make of giving money DIRECTLY to the “voters” (the super delegates in this case)? I do not mind the donations - I mind the mendacious excuses to block the will of the voters of Michigan and Florida. The dirtiest trick of this campaign was Obama’s blocking of the revotes in Michigan and Florida. Yes, I am quite angry about that.
Big Tent Democrat is basically implying that because Senator Obama contributed to the campaigns progressive politicians who were, or became superdelegates that he is attempting to buy off the election. Then BTD tacks on the whole Michigan and Florida debacle as though it was Obama’s fault and not the fault of the jokers in those states who voted to break Democratic party rules in the first place.
TalkLeft is just fine with pointing out all of these transparently fabricated shenanigans, all the while ignoring the inconvenient fact that Hillary has taken more money from lobbyists than any other presidential candidate including Republican sophist Senator John McCain.
Talk about the politics of crime. I guess it depends on your definition of ‘crime’. Right?
