Only Clinton isn’t running around claiming she is “different” and “new politics.” Obama is a politician, just like all the rest. They try to manipulate scenarios so that they gain more than their opponent does. THEY ARE BOTH DOING THAT. Obama is no sinless saint and he adds bonus hypocrisy to the mix.

The difference between them is that Hillary gains an advantage from doing what is RIGHT: counting votes.

You can’t get around the fact that Obama’s machinations continue to deny 2.4 million people from participating in their government. Our will expressed with our votes is being ignored by our party to the benefit of Obama. He stands to gain from disenfranchising millions. That is wrong. It was wrong when Bush did it and it’s wrong now whan Obama is doing it.

There’s also the other matter of what the rule book actually says about how these situations really should be handled. When a state moves it’s primary, the “punishment” is supposed to be cutting their seated delegates in half, not stripping them entirely. There were also 3 other states that moved up their primaries with no punishment whatsoever. Obama won two of those states. No one has talked about how those states broke the rules and need to learn their lesson. And you can be damn certain no one is suggesting we throw out their election results and split those delegates equally. He wont those states, just like she won Florida and Michigan, where he willingly took his name off the ballot (knowing the rules he loves so much stated he would lose the his rights to any delegates). He didn’t think he did needed those delegates at the time, so he’s changing his story now, just like you’ve accused Clinton of. Same coin, different side.

Disregarding the results and arbitrarily handing out delegates is the antithesis of democracy. It isn’t “evil” to gain politically by sticking to democratic principles. That should be how the whole damn system works. When the rules are wrong, like Jim Crow laws, we change them and civil disobedience is a valid method.

Lord, how did we get to a point where Democrats are afraid to count votes and love rules more than justice?

Now if only the dnc would abide by their own rules

All the luck.

And regardless it’s really not that close. Even if MI/FLA were counted as is, Obama would still be the winner.

It’s a non-issue. They’ll be seated at the convention.

Your comments made me laugh and it is true.

did you click my link? it was from 2002, before she was running for president and it is about how much love they had.
