Maybe some people should take the time to learn the facts of what happened and what the rules actually are before making assumptions.

Maybe the party should have followed its own rules, rather than changing them.

Maybe all of the states who violated the rules should have been punished, instead of just two.

Now why do I suspect that we’d be oh so much more flexible with rules if another candidate could pull delegates out of Florida? I must be imagining things again.

i don’t think we would be hearing much if the shoe were on the other foot…maybe some fringe racial arguments but certainly not the arguments HRC and co. make that feed the “entitlement meme” or the “disenfranchisement angle”…

HRC: “Votes should count!”
OB: ” Rules should matter!”

and if you are going to bring up the shoe on other foot arguement: let’s pretend HRC is ahead and mathmatically clinched and OB’s only hope is to tear her down and try to “convince” {see: steal} superD’s.

I suspect HRC and co would be losing their collective minds and bleating “destroying democratic party” from the hilltops and we would see non-stop loops of bill biting his lip and pleading for saner heads to prevail…

do you really want to go there???
