He Who Thinks He’s Funny, also known as Blue Texan of Instaputz fame, also blogs over at Jane Hamsher’s FireDogLake blog was live and local at his caucus location in Travis County, TX on Tuesday night and regales readers with his whining about how the county Democrats couldn’t get their shit straight.
After waiting a while, we were told we had to wait because a rule needed to be clarified. Let me go ahead and repeat that. Hundreds of working people, many of whom have brought small children, are at this point still waiting around while the people running the caucus looked up the rules. Unreal.
After another 15-20 minutes, we were told that we would start the sign-in procedure — that should’ve started as soon as we arrived. But because there was no traffic plan, the guy running the caucus didn’t know who’d come in first, so he randomly picked a side to start signing in. And naturally, he picked the side of the room that had come in last, without really explaining how they were to approach the table. Needless to say, people weren’t thrilled with the injustice of this, so everyone just broke for the tables, creating a gigantic traffic jam.
Oh yeah — and for a gym full of hundreds of people (I’m guessing close to 500, if not more), there were only 2 tables taking signatures. Nice.
At this point, someone finally figures out that a microphone is available and turns it on. We’re now told that we might have to wait ’till after all the signatures are collected, despite what the Travis County Democratic Party had told us all along.
Now, the Obama people start shouting that the Hillary people are challenging the rules and that we’ll have to stay if we want our signature to count. Then a guy gets back on the mic and reads the rules aloud (the rules we all already know) that no, you just have to sign in and then you can leave. But the Obama people keep telling us that we have to stay. It’s never clear exactly who’s right or who’s in charge.
Finally, the babies are totally melting down and there’s still practically no movement in the line. So we just leave in frustration.
And this guy will write 1,000 words, sometimes day after day, about how the government, and namely the Democrat Party, should be “giving†citizens healthcare.
Apparently, he hasn’t figured out that this is what doctor’s office and/or hospitals will be like if that nightmare ever goes through.
I think that he might be informed better on the subject if he took a look into the recent surge of “Do-It-Yourself†dentistry in the UK.
It is a pity that in the early 60’s when the “activists” and the courts were involved in getting the vote to southern blacks that in addition to the poll tax and the literacy test, the caucus, with its non-secret ballot and time consuming shenanigans, was not also declared unconstitutional and anti democratic
