Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Thursday, May 08, 2008

In this tight battle for the democratic nomination we've heard a lot about the candidates courting super-delegates. But, one superdelegate is courting the candidates. He says he'll sell his vote for a price. A very high price: $20 million. Sacramento superdelegate Steven Ybarra says that eight-figure price is peanuts for the presidency.

NOPE!

MORE precisely it's an SD at their finest hour.....

You can't say this cat hasn't learned some lessons from the Bush Administration.

That's awesome. Were I an SD, I'd have my school loans paid off in 0.7214 seconds.

Holy shit balls!!! Is this true? Someone lie to me and tell me this isn't true.

Vote buying was invented by the democrats. JFK bought the 1960 election.

"Nobody's said I'm crazy," said Ybarra.

Ybarra, you, sirrah, ARE CRAZY.

Got that?

To clarify that... Ybarra is crazy in the sense that he is not gonna get no 20 million dollars fer his pet project here but maybe not so much in terms of his putting light on an issue largely untouched by the MSM.

The reason why the Latino vote is more courted than empowered is because they are to the left wot the religious whackjobs are to the right.

A base to be exploited but not overly empowered.

They are rightish only in the sense that their non-cafeteria Catholicism agrees with the Reichwing "ideal" of overturning Roe v. Wade but they are not really courted as such.

They are leftish in that they know the harshest anti-illegal immigrant rhetoric spews from the right.

The big fear behind acknowledging and empowering the growing Latino power base is the destruction or erosion of the traditional white elitist power base that is the other half of that zero sum game.

The Latino population time bomb will eventually cause the erosion of the white elitist power structure but that day is still far off.

This is a brilliant publicity stunt on one level and a travesty of democracy on another.

Spud can't decide whether to call shenanigans or offer up a *golf clap* here.

Be Well.

I really hope this guy falls down an elevator shaft onto some bullets.

first off, he's demanding to be bribed. secondly, he's demanding to be bribed so illegals can vote. and you know that's precisely the sort of latinos he's talking about.

what a waste of human parts

The man should be immediately stripped of his Super Delegate status.

Strap-On, since when are you about being precise?

You're a slob in every aspect, especially when it comes to the truth.

What's left?

A man of principle.
But seriously, unless his vote is the swing vote, his vote becomes worthless and unnecessary. Bad timing on his part.

Now the SD that made his vote contingent on Chelsea being "pimped out" to him. That's thinking.

...gee I'm crushed.........

Hey, I'm sure John Wang, or Charlie Yah Lin Trie could come up with the funds....right Debauchocrats?

well that was pretty stupid of him

Let me see, today we find out that Dems are not only as racists as Republicans, but they are as greedy and capitalistic as Republicans. What a day! You learn something new everyday.

Well, to be fair, it was Daddy who bought the election. Papa Joe was flush with all that money from criminal bootlegging and collaborating with Nazis

Only a Democrat. Sheesh

Doesn't he know that Hillary is broke?

"This superdelegate thinks his vote would be the best $20 million a candidate could ever spend. After all, he says, in 2004 John Kerry spent $1 billion to lose."

lol

yet, Kerry didn't lose...gw/rove/black stole ohio...yuck, yuck, yuck:>)

And there you have it. At least the guy is up front about it. What category did he post it on cragslist?

There have been several articles about SDs getting contracts from the campaigns.. There was an article (may have been picked up by AP) about one guy locally here in Mass. who got a contract to print up a few hundred campaign flyers for Hillary, and got paid a ridiculous amount in the 10's of thousands of dollars. She essentially bought his SD vote.

I thought that buying white votes was racist.

Oh, he wants to buy Latino votes? Nevermind, it's all good!

Be Well.

Joe made his fortune running the booze, but it was the BUSH CLAN that made it's fortune collaborating with the Nazi's. Typical traitorous Bush family tradition.

I'm sure you approve of it though, after all, it's Georgie-Poo. How can you bring yourself to be angry at the retard you want to have a beer with?

YEAH!

The Proper Way is to exchange a vote via a paper bag full of unmarked bills in a dark ally behind some gay bar!

Sheesh is Right!

Tom the "hammer" Delay

CS: Whatever Bush's family did is irrelevant to my post, except as a lame-ass attempt at diversion.

Papa Joe was a Nazi collaborator and openly campaigned that the US enter the war in support of Germany.

Sorry that spoils Camelot for you

Is that how William Jefferson did it?

"Party Of Family Values"...I am going to leave this one behind , you Fucks on the Right are making this to easy, BYE!!!!

Well,

it is nice to see that the democratic party and its wisdom of the value of super delegates is coming back to roost.

I am sure there are a large body of super delegates that have the votes up for bribe, it is just under the table.

You don't think hillary is broke from all her campaigning do ya. hillary is staying in because she thinks she has an ace in the hole.

What happened to the small, dark, smoke-filled room with influential fat cats sweating in rolled up sleeves, elbows on the table, smoking their cigars and all making deals on the side? How times have changed.

What the heck is this 'Mexican-American voter' ?

Either you are all American, and vote American or you get the fuck out.

None of this half this and half that.

I think dual-citizenship with any other country should be disallowed for all U.S. citizens.

I disagree. I believe there are genuine business and personal reasons why Dual Citizenship should remain legal in the United States.

Larry

If the two nations of the person holding dual-citizenship go to war which country gets the individual's loyalty. You can't have it both ways.

Hey CalifChris I would try and utilize the one who had Dual Citizenship with the one we were at war against to act as a mediator. Think about it. They love both Country's so much that they chose to remain citizens of both. I think it would be beneficial rather than a detriment.

Larry Mohr

So-if I give him the 20 mil-will he vote for me?
If so-how close will that get me to the Presidency?

I'm takin' up a collection as we speaqk.....

Typical Democrat behavior. He sells his vote.

Why does he sell his vote? easy, core democrat principle: Which is that they HAVE no principles.

Kuma

Apparently this is frequent by the super delegates, patty murray and maria cantwell have already sold their votes to clinton.

Well, you're almost right. They have no priciples that are beneficial to America.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again, the Super Delegates are able to disenfranchise the will of the people. How ironic, especially after all the hand-wringing the Democrats did after Florida 2000.

"Nobody's said I'm crazy," said Ybarra.

Ok, then. You're a damned crook.

It's good the superdelegates aren't in a union. His vote would already have been sold by the union bosses!
