Um, hey Sherlock, …
Um, hey Sherlock, the MI Democratic Party wanted to hold a caucus as a redo, but HILLARY wouldn’t let them! Get your facts straight. And when this whole thing began it was HILLARY that signed the pledge that FL and MI would not count. How do you account for THAT?

The primaries are …
The primaries are NOT Constitutionally protected elections! The Constitution never even mentions political parties, not even once, let alone regulates them. Anyone who complains about MI and FL not being “counted” is woefully ignorant or obfuscating. The RNC and DNC are well within their rights as PRIVATE ORGANIZATIONS to hold ARM WRESTLING TOURNAMENTS to determine their nominees if they so chose! As long as they abide by their rules and bylaws MI and FL can be discounted LEGALLY and FAIRLY.

how would counting …
how would counting the votes as they stand give ppl in mich a “legitimate say”? they couldn’t even vote for Obama…

Every poll prior to …
Every poll prior to the cacauses had her in the lead. There is no requirement for any vote, it is not an election. It is a selection process complete removed from government and it can be done in any way the people involved choose. These new redherring about everyone’s is to be counted….is a lie or intentional misleading statement. Drawing straws would have been just as appropriate, that is why there are such a variety of selection techniques used. It is NOT an Election…Get it?

OK you explain why …
OK you explain why she would plan and execute a full compaign after signing a written pledge not and promise remove her name from the ballots? If it was not cheating it’s certainly dishonest and sleazy. Many of us supporters were really shocked at her behavior. The latest poll in Caifornia, my voting place, shows that if voters had the chance to revote after her behavior after the CA vote, Obama would trounce her. You might think it is perfectly ok to lie and cheat, we don’t.

Hmmmm…The number …
Hmmmm…The number of FL delegates are 210(-> it might be down to 105.) Hillary won by 50%. And Obama+Edwards won by 47%(33%+14%). So no big deal.

She didn’t cheat at …
She didn’t cheat at all. And no one knew that this election would need all 50 states to vote. It’s been close from the start with Obama winning Iowa and Hillary winning NH. Then a new phase came his momentum after Super Tuesday, and then after her Texas- Ohio comeback she’s had mometum. The fact is that it’s a close race & the voters in Michigan and Florida are not getting any legitimate say. So either count the votes as they stand or do a revote, but they shouldn’t be cheated out of both.

You miss the point …
You miss the point that all parties involved agreed with and help forumate the current rules. The only one of all the field who cheated was Clinton. Now she says she is being cheated because her cheating did not work? The rules were made when Clinton was the frontrunner and favored her but as the campaign progressed her behavior and Obama’s message reversed her standing…Get over it, she sleazed out and we Dems do not like that. We want an honest administration for a change

Shameful how he …
Shameful how he says so what about Puerto Rico as they don’t get to vote in the General Election. That’s not funny, but this guy only beleves in democracy when it’s for his own political gain.

At least Puerto Rico gets to vote in the most historic primary election of people’s lifetime, unlike Michigan thanks to the Obama campaign refussing to accept the offer a revote primary. Count the as they stand or do a revote but don’t cheat us out of both.

I am sick of …
I am sick of Hillary and starting to blaim the party. They made a rule. If it were not right they should not have made the rule. Superdelegates are a joke. If the dems don’t stand up and do what is right, soon, they will lose me. The libertarin idea of getting us out of the war and cutting spending sounds better every day.

The topic of this …
The topic of this video should be Hillary’s “Enron accounting”

By JonStewart4President on May 26th, 2009 at 1:41 am

And appropriate, …
And appropriate, that Hillary’s fake protestation about votes is like Dubya’s fake protestation about votes. Ironic.

But I hope Jonathan Alter is right and they don’t try and destroy the Party with her naricisstic scorched earth grand-standing.

As I was out …
As I was out walking one morning for pleasure,
I spied a campaigner a-riding along.
Her hat was thrown back and her spurs were a-jingling,
And as she approached she was singin’ this song:

“Whoopee ti yi yo, git along, little Clintons -
It’s your misfortune and none of my own.
Whoopee ti yi yo, git along, little Clintons,
For you know that the White House won’t be your new home.”

Why is it idiots …
Why is it idiots think they need to post “first” when they think they are the first to post? Make a comment about this video that is the point of this comments section moron! And you weren’t even first…stupid! Thanks for uploading this VotersThink!

By Otacrack on May 26th, 2009 at 1:41 am

the only reason why …
the only reason why Hillary is still in the race is because she is in millions in debt. Its not about the Hillary supporters its about her and having you pay for her debt which comes from Bill Clinton’s dealings
