3. Hillary is the loser.
But she wants to be an even bigger loser.

6. NO ONE - let the people decide. That's what's good for the Dem. Party.

20. THAT is impossible. 3 million voters have been disenfranchised.
So whoever says they have the will of the people...is full of shit.

21. But they were disenfranchised by their own party leaders.
And nobody seems to know how to fix that in a way that is fair to everyone.

But even though my vote counted, I feel like most of us were disenfranchised by the MSM, which TOLD US who the top 3 candidates were, instead of covering the story and letting the people decide.

23. And that matters why?
Obama and Edwards told their constituents to vote "UNCOMMITTED" in Michigan. Everyone was on the Ballot in Florida. NH, IA and SC got their whiny little way and went first as planned. The rules said "50% loss of delegates."

Quit blaming Senator Carl Levin, one of the few Democrats left in congress with some "minerals."

Don't count us? Then fuck your mandate. It's not legitimate no matter how many times you say "...but-but-but BLAME your STATE LEADERS!"

Clinton signed the redo in Michigan.
The Party signed the redo in Michigan.
Obama DID NOT sign the redo in Michigan.

What part of this is unclear?

27. Yes, of course, its my fault what happened in FL and MI
Whatever you say. Yes indeed. That's exactly what I said in my original post... oh wait a minute, I just asked a simple question and only one person went totally ballistic: YOU

But its perfectly appropriate behavior for you to lose control of yourself and take it out on a perfect stranger on a messageboard and swear and make it all that persons fault. Your behavior is totally irrational and out of control. Go to a psychiatrist and get some help. NOW.

29. I wanted a revote in MI and FL, and if that can't happen then a compromise
involving seating of delegates must be reached.

It is unacceptable to me, to exclude MI and FL voters from consideration.

7. Hillary should drop out because she has no chance of beating Obama in delegates.
However she will never do it. Her greed and arrogance will not let her.

Stupid poll.

11. Good question.
Howard Dean just said that by June one of them should drop out. He didn't say the obvious- that it should be the candidate who has practically no chance at all of winning.

He's the party leader.

12. You didn't have other ... I would say neither take it to convention. That's what a convention is for
to hash out our differences and then to come together as a party.

13. And if we wait that long McCain will have it wrapped up.
Clinton can't win. If she cares about the Democrats taking back the White House, she should do the right thing and drop out...ASAP

16. McCain has some serious problems within his own base. He has baggage too and
it ain't pretty. The good news is that we have seen polls lately that show that 83% of people in this country are sick of the war and its effects on our economy. Yes even Republicans (of course when it hits them personally) will not vote for another Republican administration. Another tiding of good news is that the democrat party is registering in record numbers. Any democrat should easily be able to sink McLame.

19. Both of them.
This has become the worst cluster fuck in the history of the Democratic Party. The delegates should agree to deadlock, then choose a "Dark Horse" candidate.

25. Until Michigan and Florida are counted, NOBODY has the "votes of the people."
NOBODY. Not Clinton. Not Obama.

And quit with the "...but, but, but your STATE LEADERS..."

That is a bullshit excuse and you know it. REDO or COUNT THE VOTE. Otherwise, your "Primary" is as BOGUS as the 2000 Election, whether you admit it or not, and no matter who you blame for it.
