"Sharpton: Because I'm neutral, I will speak out and work against the seating of MI and FL delegates |
|
You can't change the rules midstream", so he said on MSNBC.

6. Is Al married to Obama? |
|
Has Al campaigned for Obama? Has he even endorsed Obama?
The answer to all of those is no. So the comparison is stupid. Al is as neutral as anyone else.

2. Good for you, Al. You're absolutely correct. It's dishonest without a re-vote. NT |

20. Nobody said he was a saint, but many people here are guilty of the same sort of thing. |
|
Remember the Duke rape case? If you want to condemn Sharpton over the Brawley case, go ahead. I'll even join you. But you also have to attack the organizations that go similarly ape-shit over those sorts of cases, like NOW. I'll join you there too.
But in any event, that doesn't give one the right to call him names.

11. Good for Al! After Julian Bond's letter, Al had to represent the other side |
|
A lot of Obama supporters didn't have a chance to vote for him in Michigan and Florida. I heard one independent voter on CSPAN say that she voted for Huckabee in Florida but she would have voted for Obama if she thought it would have counted.
Michigan and Florida must re-do their vote. It is only fair.

10. I agree, Kudos to Sharpton! It would be undemocratic |
|
for thos delegates to be seated without a revote. I cant imagine if Clinton won by doing that that she would enjoy the ramifications in the general election.

If they dont do something with those 800,000 votes from Fl they will lose this election big time.

22. And how do you figure that, exactly? |

The Florida primary doesn't affect the general election.

But I agree with Al for once. Hillary is like Calvin from "Calvin and Hobbes". Calvin is always changing the rules when he starts losing while they play some game and that's what I see what Hillary is trying to do.
She agreed that they wouldn't seated and then flip-flopped when she saw she was going to need them. The Hillobots needs to wipe the shit from their eyes to see the truth.

Changing the rules to your benefit during the game is wrong plain in simple. I learned that in third grade.

25. That basically means Hillary will lose lots of black votes in the general |
|
if she wins the nomination via MI and FL.
Sharpton is a hellraiser without peer.
