yep. What the DNC did this year to FL and MI was a travesty. It is only a reflection on the Democrat party’s inability to ACTUALLY care about voters for all the lip service and lying they do on that subject. It should be clear to everyone they are no better than any other party. This year will be used as an example for YEARS to come for all Democrats who drink the coolaid/lies/generalizations about “Republicans”.

I guess hands down means a win of the popular vote by .0001%? That’s hardly hands down in my mind.

Keep your argument succinct maybe. Keep it to the electoral vote tally that Hillary got jacked on…. Democrats have lost concept of the rules ALL around when they keep referring to “popular” vote which is no measure in any national election process.

I feel that the DNC decision was wrong. They should have given Hillary what was rightfully hers, and they should let the people have their say on who they wish to vote for All votes should count. Instead they claim that Flor. And Mich should get 1/2 vote and be punished… for what?? Flor. Because they voted when they weren’t suppose to and Mich. because Barack Obama’s name wasn’t on the ballot but who took his name off?? Where is his punishment for purposely taking his name off the ballot? He gets awarded by getting part of the Votes and Delegates that were meant for Hillary Clinton and it’s not Right!! She played by the rules and got SCREWED. Give Hillary back her votes and take what he didn’t earn away. He should not have been the president nominated, she won the popular vote hands down

Wouldn’t that be cool. We could have two 3rd party nominiees. Hillary could run under a 3rd party, and some conservative could run under a 3rd party banner. What the hey, why not just make it a big party, so to speak. – Lorica

I have but two words of advice for my Clintonista sisters: “third party!”

Interesting thought Anthony.

I have wondered lately with how this is turning out if Clinton shouldn’t do as Lieberman did and run as an Independent.

If you remember Lieberman lost as a Democrat, and seemed most of the Democrats turned against him, and then he ran as an Independent and won.

What chances do you think, with the split in the Democrats, that her chances would be as an Independent?

Democratic voices…

In the wake of yesterday’s decision by a committee of the Democratic Party to give Michigan and Florida delegates each one-half vote at the national convention in Denver this August, some supporters of Lady Macbeth are a wee bit unhappy:…

Regarding FL and MI – I was under the impression that every vote should count.

Also, B Hussein may have left TUCC but that does not mean that he doesn’t still believe in their philosophy.
