I can't believe Obama disenfranchises voters. |
|
Doesn't he understand anything about anything?
Iowa voters don't count. They have caucuses.
New Hampshire voters don't count. Their districts are drawn up in all the wrong places.
Nevada voters don't count. They vote on saturday and let casino workers vote.
South Carolina voters don't count. There are too many black people.
Alabama voters don't count. There are too many black people.
Alaska voters don't count. Their weather is horrible.
Colorado voters don't count. Those people are second class citizens.
Connecticut voters don't count. Too many latte liberals.
Delaware voters don't count. Again with the liberals.
Georgia voters don't count. Too many black people.
Idaho voters don't count. Too many second class citizens.
Illinois voters don't count. They have Chicago politics.
Kansas voters don't count. They're second class citizens.
Minnesota voters don't count. Horrible weather.
Missouri voters don't count. They can't make up their mind.
North Dakota voters don't count. They're second class.
Utah voters don't count. They're second class.
Louisiana voters don't count. If they wanted to count, they'd have left before the primary.
Nebraska voters don't count. Second class.
U.S. Virgin Islands don't count. They're probably latte liberals or something.
Washington voters don't count. Not even one single county counts.
Maine voters don't count. They're practically Canadians.
Democrats abroad don't count. They're unamerican.
Washington D.C. voters don't count. Too many black people.
Maryland voters don't count. They had horrible weather.
Virginia voters don't count. Too many black people.
Hawaii voters don't count. They don't have enough experience being Americans.
Wisconsin voters don't count. The weather was just terrible.
Vermont doesn't count. They're latte liberals AND the weather sucks.
Texas voters don't count. They've got too many black people in heavily democratic districts.
Wyoming doesn't count. It's too rectangular.
Mississippi doesn't count. Too many black people.
But Michigan and Florida? THEY TOTALLY COUNT!
Barack Obama's lack of initiative or legal authority to bend the rules to allow Michigan and Florida to have do-overs so they can vote for Hillary Clinton is clear indication that he just wants to disenfranchise voters.
And I thought those people cared about voters.

27. Pay atttention. Hillary went to Michigan hoping that by being there |
|
she could get the dems in the legislature to do something about a redo. They were FURIOUS. STEAMING MAD. why? Because her being there kiboshed anything they had in the works because it would look like favoritism. She was the reason they caved. Good going. But hey, believe whatever you want.

2. This is the first primary election where I HAVEN'T been disenfranchised |
|
The primary is usually decided by the time it gets to Illinois. This is the first time my primary vote actually counted for something. So if Hillary is so up in arms about MI and FL voters being disenfranchised, why wasn't she defending the rights of late primary voters in every other election in recent history?

9. Why is Texas on the list? That was a big state where |
|
more citizens voted for Hillary than Obama.
You'll probably have to edit that one out.

Because there are too many black people voting in heavily democratic districts.

16. If the voters are ticked |
|
Then they need to take their problem to the entities that moved their states up in violation of DNC rules. Not to Obama and not to Dean.
Hillary signed the agreement like everyone else. Is her word no good now? Is that presidential?

18. Since the DNC actually did the disenfranchising, |
|
shouldn't that mean that FL and MI won't come out for any Dem in November?

19. DNC agreed to revote in MI and the money for it was offered but Obama refused to weight in. |
|
and the people of MI will remember his actions of disenfranchisement in Nov.
Obama has a lot to learn yet.

25. That cites an unnamed source saying that Obama's people blocked it. |
|
But we do have: Obama said he wants the delegates of Michigan and Florida seated, adding "however the Democratic National Committee determines we can get that done, I'm happy to abide by those rules."
and: In addition, the Obama memo questioned whether the revote proposal could be cleared in a timely manner, without putting too much strain on election preparations and possibly leading to time-consuming litigation.
Some of their concerns relate to crossover voting.
meanwhile: A memo from the Clinton camp countered this point, saying Obama can't argue that supporters participated in the GOP primary instead of the Democratic one because "the Obama campaign's allies in Michigan organized an effort to get people in Michigan to vote for 'uncommitted' in the Democratic primary."
Although that is true, we also have Kos suggesting Democrats vote in the Republican primary since theirs wouldn't count. Keep Mitt alive, was the plan. That is a matter of public record, so Clinton's argument does not hold up. There was a crossover voting plan of indeterminate size that was fairly well-organized.

24. North Carolina MIGHT count |
|
The verdict is still out on that one. They do have too many Black People but the weather generally good. My sense is that it probably won't count though.
lmfao -- Love this post
