*** LEE L. MERCER SUPPORTERS: LET'S CONVERGE ON DENVER
There is no point in Hillary Clinton staying in the race unless she knows (or hopes) that there will be a brokered nomination at the convention.

Everyone knows that the best Democratic candidate, Lee L. Mercer Jr. was overlooked by the electorate who was kept in the dark by the racist MSM.

A brokered convention may be our opportunity to put things right! No doubt that Mercer already has power-players lining up superdelegates, but a show of support in the streets of Denver would only help Mercer cement the nomination that he — and American — deserves.

Who's with me?

7. You're right on one count here.
show of support in the streets of Denver would only help Mercer cement the nomination that he — and American — deserves.

As in American, singular. This is a joke that just about only one American could possibly support. The fact that he's an absolute nobody that the MSM shouldn't even come close to covering, much like LaRouche, and race has nothing to do with it.

13. Race has everything to do with it
Edited on Mon Mar-10-08 12:36 PM by theredpen
And it's more than one American... it's all three.

I'm sick of the Obamaniacs and the Hillbots trashing the Mercer supporters in this forum. It's tearing the Democratic party apart. Mercer is about the grass roots — not the "ass roots" the way SOME candidates seem to be.

14. He has no credentials whatsoever that make him a legit candidate.
And this so-called grassroots you speak of are non-existent and totally invisible. You've got one hell of an uphill climb if you want anyone to believe that race has any more to do with his lack of exposure than it had to do with LaRouche, Gravel, Kucinich, Dodd, Biden, or pretty much anyone outside of the major players.

15. Oh, the bogus "experience" argument
He has more military experience than Bill Clinton had.

Gimme a break with this baseless attack. Mercer is the ONLY qualified Dem candidate.

Also, if you don't believe the media is racist... well, I don't know what to say. :eyes:

19. The media might be racist, but this is a very, very poor example of it.
Care to explain WHY he's qualified?

22. Let me get this straight:
Examples of media racism have to acheive some "threshold" of outrageousness before we can cite them? Racism is racism! It's immoral to quibble about whether or not this is a "good" example or not. I hope you can agree with me on this.

As for why Mercer is qualified... that is covered pretty extensively elsewhere. Suffice to say that he has parity with both Obama and Clinton on the major issues, but he also presents a progressive platform of issues that neither of them has shown the vision or leadership to address. For example, how are either of the "front runners" going to leverage new technology and apply "computerized law"? We've seen a lot of blather about "intelligence failures" but there is only one candidate with a plan to synergize across multiple intelligence disciplines — Military Intelligence Business and Commerce Intelligence (all three).

Bill Clinton built a bridge to the 21st century, and it would be best for America if our next president was already on the other side, instead of talking about how he or she plans to cross it.

32. Uhm, the threshold is that you have to prove it's racism in the first place.
And you haven't even come close to proving that. And there is no proof of it. He's being ignored just as every other fringe candidate with no supporters would be and is. To prove racism, you have to prove that race is the predominant reason that he's being ignored, when without a doubt, he completely lacks any kind of credentials for legitimate consideration in this race. What separates Mercer from LaRouche in terms of media coverage? Is he even on the ballot in 50 states? 10 states? I know he wasn't on mine!

As far as the qualifications you've cited - shit, I can espouse those qualifications. I bet a quarter of the country hold those qualifications. And you don't do anything to answer the questions you've posed for Obama and Clinton in terms of your own candidate beyond completely vague responses.

There are probably only a few hundred people in this world that DO know enough about him to hate him. What an asinine comment to say when I haven't said anything about him other than that.

36. Try reading up on a candidate before you make sweeping statements about them
You acknowledge that you don't even know about him; how can you insist that he isn't qualified to be president?

She might offer the VP spot to Obama, that since Mercer is also of that persuasion, he could be her VP should Obama not be available.

And Mercer might be ready on Day One! _As _well_1!

I may even storm the REPUBLICAN convention too, while I'm at it.

(Well, actually, the GOP convention will be held a mile away from my house, so it wouldn't be too big a deal to walk over there and Mercernate the right-wing rabble.)
