The reason I have a hard time voting for democrats....

Post by Gooberman »

...is that their politicians are so damn stupid.

Democratic Play Book.

1. Superdelegates – Let’s allow a small group of people the power to overturn millions of voters decisions, here in America, after all we do know best.

2. Floriduh – Lets break the rules and deny millions of people the right to have their voices heard, especially-- as 2000 showed--a state that is so hotly contested. Is there any chance of this state going blue now? The republicans are already using this as media fodder:

CNN
(Can we please just give this state to Cuba?)

3. Lets if we are Hillary Clinton, throw complete B.S. attacks at our opponent, making it so that should she gets the nomination, she has just handed over the black vote to the republicans for god knows how long. Arguably the most loyal group the democrats have. Mark my words, this all out Blitz she did over the last two weeks will bite her in the ass.

You Tube

(Come on, even when I liked the Clintons I would concede that the opposition should watch their knees and their backs. The above video is the biggest act of hypocrisy I have seen in my life. I am not using that as a figure of speech.)

There is no way I would accept VP from her if I was Obama, after 8 years of Hillary the Republican base would be so united. And if it's 0 or 4 years of Hillary then the point is mute.

I could go on and on….

My advice to any conservative political consultants that may be lurking…….leave us alone, this party will self destruct.

I know exactly how you feel…I will continue to defend my conservative views…but will never defend a politician.

Heh, looks like many will be thinking outside the Reblican-Decmoratic box.

The Republicans had the right idea about Florida. Let their delegates count for half as much.

But the bottom line is that Florida gave the middle finger to both parties in advancing their primaries forward. Now they are crying that they aren't represented. Maybe they should have thought of that before they decided to cheat. By choosing to outright ignore them, the Democrats gave them a leg to stand on.

I remember the 2000 election and the demoscammers crying \"Foul\" and how all those hanging chads represented X number of disenfranchised voters. So tell me now, how many voters are disenfranchised in Michigan and Florida to day? I notice how dear sweet Billary signed a pledge not to run in MI or FL (as did Edwards and Obama) yet I see Hillary did run. And now she thinks she should be entitled to those votes and the caucus delegates.
It will be interesting to see if the Democratic National Convention will be a repeat of the 1968 one. Let Hillary somehow garner a win by the use of the super delegates and watch 'dem black folk howl.
