Oklahoma has decided to have our Presidential Election in August
Screw all of you who say we have to vote in November. We can do what we want. Rules? Bah. We'll vote when WE feel like it and then whine like my five year old niece when the rest of the country says our votes don't count.

oh wait, no it's not. Presidential elections are dictated by the constitution. There's no constitutional provision, or even federal law, governing party primaries. This is a DNC issue.

5. Close, but not exactly right
It's not a DNC "issue" It's a DNC rule -- they, and they alone, make the rules. Florida agreed to the restriction on "moving up," until they didn't.

6. Break a rule and then cry when you're punished.
Oklahoma will STILL hold our vote in August. You have to respect the will of the people. We'll vote when we want. How can you disenfranchise 5,000,000 people?

7. If you think DNC rules
carry the same weight as the US Constitution, go for it.

8. You've repeated that same meme already
If you think rules shouldn't apply to the voting process, then you endorse anarchy. Good luck with that.
