Hillary, How will you defend the constitution?
When you don't even defend the people's right to fair and unbiased elections?

Both Michigan and Florida were irrevocably flawed primary elections. If they were upheld in any "third world country" the entire world would be shouting to the rafters of corruption and manipulation of the electoral system.

Yet you say you want them upheld. You say it was "Obama's choice" to remove his name from the ballot when you refused to do so. You are a cheat. A crook. No better than any dictator who has rigged an election and worked to uphold the result.

I do not want you as my President, you who will not defend the rights of the electorate... even in your own party.

Your methods are underhanded and morally wrong. It makes me angrier by the day to watch you destroy the best opportunity we have to bring this nation out of the darkness. :grr:

1. She's squishy on war and torture; you're surprised at her position on how this election should go?
The Constitutional law lecturer/civil rights attorney/community organizer for me please.

3. Unfortunately, none of our candidates stood up for fair and unbiased
Edited on Fri Mar-14-08 11:48 AM by Benhurst
elections, that's why the primary process is such a mess. Open primaries, Byzantine policies which do not fairly award delegates, at times giving more to the loser than the winner, and caucuses which discriminate against the old, the sick, the infirm, the poor, the working-classes, and active duty members of the armed services, among others, hardly make for unbiased primaries.

Even more disturbing, neither of our two leading candidates has worked to fix a general election process which made possible the theft of the last two presidential elections. And why haven't Obama and Clinton been speaking out against the Republicans' extensive caging efforts to disfranchise Democratic voters and lay the foundation for another stolen presidential election?

When it comes to fair elections, who has been speaking out for them and working for reform? Where have our two leading candidates been?
