he played fair. He won when he did dirty tricks. He carried that to the Vietnam War but he didn't win that time. Lies have a way of bitting one in the ass.

Some people play by the rules when it benefits them others don't. The DNC rules about "timing of the primary vote" in all states is just plain wrong. All states should have a vote on the same day. The plot to give the smaller conservative states power over the others is just plain wrong and undemocratic.

If Congressman Wexler (D-FL) cared so about democracy and voting he'd talk about that.

Nope they won't allow changes either since "they have rules". What about the delegates at the convention? They don't rule? The people don't make their rules by a democratic process?
