In effectively calling for the disenfranchisement of Fl and Mi
BHO has besmirched the civil rights tradition from which he (ostensibly) draws much of his inspiration.

1. Hillary: I think it's pretty obvious that the election they are having (in MI) isn't going to count.

2. once and for all, he didn't call for the disenfranchisement of those states
the DNC made the rules, they broke them, Hillary didn't seem to give a crap until she fell behind in the delegate count.

4. 112 posts. Using the initials BHO. Does anybody really think this is a Democrat?
Smells like a Republican to me.

You see pulling stuff out in desperation because lately Clinton has been on a downward spiral is not going to work.

The FL and Mi situation has been discussed left and right and it comes down to this.

The tainted results included as is give Clinton a huge boost therefore this faux call for them to be included.

Others who actually cared called for a revote. Yet both states fiddle farted around and now there is not going to be a revote.

So the obvious 50/50 is off the table for Clinton and her supporters it seems because they know that only the tainted results (Results that will destroy chances for a democratic president president to be elected) are the only way they can effectively stay in the race.

We did what we could clinton supporters. We called for revotes When yall were sliming dean. We listened to alternative ideas when yall were calling for Tainted results.

So the game is up. The tainted results will never be excepted and the attempts to keep this crap going are little more than political maneuvering from Clinton.

15. You really ought to read about this outside of the Hillary
fan sites. She agreed to disenfranchise the voters because they BROKE THE RULES.

She cannot have a do-over on her vote for war or on this matter just because she needs one..


Tough shit.

29. Their leaders disenfranchised their own voters.
Blaming Obama for their foolishness is like blaming Hillary for Elliot Spitzer's adultery.

here in Michigan that decided to move up the election date despite strong warnings about the consequences of doing such.

35. In effectively calling for the SDs to overturn the will of the people.
The GOP (Goddess of Peace) has besmirched the very democratic principles which she claims to uphold by fighting for the placement of FL and MI's delegates.

40. Barack Obama did not call for disenfranchisement no more than
Clinton did. But truth and politics don't mix I guess. My way or the highway on a compromised election just because it would help a candidate is pretty dishonest to the voters of those states who didn't vote for their candidate because they were told it wouldn't count or because their candidate wasn't on the ballot to honor to the agreed to rules.
