Michigan and Florida back in half way. email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 77/100. BCMike (2331)   ranked 158 out of 4,617 in politics8 months ago

Michigan and Florida are back in half way and Billary's folkas are pist right off.

Seems that some of them, and one Mr. Icky especially, was unhappy with a compromise. That is becoming an all too apparent trait where Hillary's folks are concerned these days.

So, I am more convinced than ever that Hillary will sink the ship before she will surrender. I guess she doesn't think that there is any fight another day left in her. maybe there isn't.

I hope by next week that the Super Delegates just make the move and finish her off for the good of the party. There is no place for her in party politics.

The eastern seaboard might like her enough to keep electing her, but I don't know that she will have a chance for president again after this spiteful performance.

These are the observations of a Canadian who cannot even vote there. But it sure looks to THIS observer that the time has come for her to put her head between her own legs and kiss her own butt bye bye.

I seem to remember there being a problem with a Florida election once beore. LOL When are hey going to straighten things out down there?


myLot reputation of 77/100. BCMike (2331)   ranked 158 out of 4,617 in politics  8 months ago

How was the temperature in Hell today???? I think it needs to cool off there a bit more before it happens. glare

Voting is no different in Florida than it is in any other state. The mess back in 2000 was because Al Gore was a sore loser who demanded 5 recounts and even after every recount showed him losing he still claimed they weren't counting every vote. This time the DNC decided to disenfranchise voters because the primary was held in January. Suddenly counting every vote isn't their priority. It's not Florida that's the problem, it's the democrats.


myLot reputation of 77/100. BCMike (2331)   ranked 158 out of 4,617 in politics  8 months ago

This insanity that the DNC calls democracy is weird.

Why they haven't adopted the same winner take all that the Republicans have is beyond me. And having these primaries run for so long too....

I can understand why people are mad, as not all of the votes will count. How would you feel knowing your vote doesn't count? Florida has had trouble before and the voters deserve justice. They didn't get it today.


myLot reputation of 77/100. BCMike (2331)   ranked 158 out of 4,617 in politics  8 months ago

But it wasn't Florida that was so upset. It was Michigan and the Hillary supporters I think.
Florida's reps were just happy to get anything because "Roolz iz roolz".

But the Michigan folks who didn't have the Republican house reps ramming an illegal (by DNC rules) election through.
Michigan just decided that they were going at a specified time because of New Hampshire. two wrongs don't make a right I was taught.
Anyway, their votes count for something but the division of delegates has pist off Hillary's bunch.

They wanted their cake and eat it too. Sorry. Sometimes you have to do right even when it hurts you.


myLot reputation of 99/100. Fishmomma (3418)   ranked 87 out of 4,617 in politics  8 months ago

Michigan became a real problem, as Obama wasn't on the ballot at all. He get votes even though people didn't vote for him. I'm not a supporter of either person before everyone starts jumping up and down reading this post.

Let me start this off by saying I'm not a Hillary supporter. I'm just not. Didn't care for Bill Clinton and I don't want another one in office. I don't want to anger anyone -- just my opinion. I have a couple of concerns about her: 1) I don't think she gives enough thought to what she says and 2) I seriously think that if the tables were turned, she would be pushing Obama to quit for the sake of "party unity." For the sake of "party unity," I agree that she should bow out now -- gracefully.

>I seriously think that if the tables were turned, she would be pushing Obama to quit for the sake of "party unity." For the sake of "party unity," I agree that she should bow out now -- gracefully. <

I'm very sorry for her, that she needs to feel this compulsive need to win and to win at all costs.....and I wouldn't be surpirsed if she stooped to cheating.

No I did Not like Bill Clinton, No I do not like Obama, where does that leave me?

With McCain?

Guess what?

I can't stand him either.

Ok, back to the voting issue, I, think, that no matter what Hillary and her supporters are going to cry foul and at some point she is going to hve to realize that there is no hope of her getting the nomination, even with Michigan and Florida.....

I think that the 2 states should be dang blasted happy and shut up....that's my opinion on it, but it appears that Hillary is going to continue this knock down drag out fight, and if they don't start working for some unity and soon, the Democrats are going to hand the election to the Republicans on a silver platter, or to another candidate.

As far as Hillary bowing out gracefully, and doing it now, it won't happen, as much as I think it needs to happen it won't happen.

She's a sore looser, and what she thought would be an easy ticket is now slipping from her grasp, and I fear that any person running any female that may attempt to run for the presidency will be hindered by what Hillary has done this election.

Mooch

Can I rant on Michigan just because I hate that state and think its backwardz and ate up? And that's about as nice as I can be. believe me..... I have no lost love for the state of Michigan where I grew up.

Coming from Obama's point, I think he got the raw end of the deal in Michigan, I think when it came down to it, he knew that the votes likely wouldn't count and took his name off the ballot, and being that there was 44% uncommitted, that's where the got the 60/40 split, I think that's fair to say how it would have probably went give or take.

But the backwards politicians cant see for the light of day

All in all its really making Hillary look like a sore looser.

This was a deal that they brokered. I truly don't care if they get half.....

I personally think they should get NONE!!!! they knew the rules they broke them.....they should be thankful for what they get, but knowing Michigan they won't be happy.

I was of the mind if the delegates were seated it should be an even 50 50 split....Hillary last week stated she changed her mind about her stance on Michigan and Florida, and it seems she has changed her mind again, she wanted the delegates to close the lead Obama has on her and it didn't happen.

Now the Democrats are crying foul, I would tell them seat them and be happy or stay home or it won't count.

Mooch


myLot reputation of 77/100. BCMike (2331)   ranked 158 out of 4,617 in politics  8 months ago

I was really heartened that there was some concept of rules being rules despite the apparent heavier weighting of one state over another.

It is the fundemental difference between the US and every other country in the world (except Switzerland) that government should be weighted one way in Congress and still another way in the Senate.
Between those two and the Presidency, no one of the three can dominate the other.

That democratically, makes the USA unique in the world.

But the rules of the DNC allowed for a partial redress of delegate votes. They have that now.

Now they need only dispence with this dumb primary and the lustful denial of common sense. Fortunately that happens tomorrow.

I really hope a decision is made then. I can't stand to see Hillary belabour and overwork her claims to the popular vote through exclusion of caucus states. What are those who attend caucuses? Chopped liver?

I like that Billary comment, I think they are just grasping at straws, and they know they are done. I just wish that someone would put a fork in her, and call her done. It is so sad to see someone in such denial, she can't even see what she is doing to everyone involved, and the worse thing is; she doesn't care. I hope that someone can get to her, and stop her.


myLot reputation of 77/100. BCMike (2331)   ranked 158 out of 4,617 in politics  8 months ago

Sorry. I think we are all watching a train wreck taking place. But, if there is any consolation, Tuesday is the last primary.
Kind of amazed at the polarity between Clinton and Obama though.
Even after all the apparent push to get her to quit, she gets amazing upsets from places like Puerto Rico and a 68/32 spanking from those people. It was a margin she needed to carry on, but the final two states also have to be carried that way for her claims to carry too.

I respect your right to state your opinion. As a veteran, I FOUGHT for your right to do that. But I personally find your opinion offensive? But that's OK. Like I said..I FOUGHT for your right to speak, even in offensive manner.- Enjoy it while you can. The way the Republicans are going this willl soon be a different country and the next thing THEY will take from you id your right ot freedom of speech, which Clinton would not. They are already watching you everywhere with cameras. They are monitoring your internet conversations and possibly even your phone ones WITHOUT court ordered, which is the law.
THINK before you offend.


myLot reputation of 77/100. BCMike (2331)   ranked 158 out of 4,617 in politics  8 months ago

I'm Canadian. we have our own soldiers to thank for their service. But I respect your service.

However, when you suggest that the Republicans are going to take away free speech nd make out the monitoring of people out to be some kind of assault on your liberty, let me ask you this?

Do you think it's okay to publicly speak out against any race? Do you believe in freedom for the KKK or that nutbar church group that protests at the funerals of fallen soldiers? I suspect not. So in fact, you likely fall within the realm of common sense and really do think it's okay to restrict some 'freedom to speak and show intolerance based on where your mom and dad came from' by people.

Do you believe the rights of the criminal are greater than the rights of the innocent people those criminals afflict and destroy? Do you believe that the innocent are not the subjects of any viewing of videos? Do you believe that the viewing of video images in high crime areas might not be for catching crooks? There is no problem with cameras if you are doing no wrong.

If the government is tapping your phone lines and computer connection and you are worried about them doing it, what are you doing wrong? Do you think law enforcement agencies have so much manpower that they can focus on the law abiding to the exclusion of drug dealers, smugglers of people and illegal goods, terrorists and a whole host for filthy scum that is working our systems against the law abiding in the name of "FREEDOM"?

Sorry, I disagree with your premise.

At this point, Clinton is already screwed, so Michigan and Florida won't really make any difference. Obama is still going to make the nomination.

This whole mess is way over-blown. Both states knew what was coming, and still went ahead with it. On the one hand, however, I do agree with the principle of one person one vote, but on the other rules are rules. This is a quandry that the DNC will have to deal with the fall-out from for a long time.

Both candidates and their supporters have the right to be upset, and as a conservative, I sympathize with both sides of the issue.

As far as Senator Clinton is concerned, the Clinton's personal record has shown that they often "allegedly" will stop at nothing to get what they want. Their laundry list, suspicious at the least, is long. She has run a horrible campaign as she assumed she was the golden girl and the nomination was hers. Now she must deal with the fall out.


myLot reputation of 77/100. BCMike (2331)   ranked 158 out of 4,617 in politics  8 months ago

I see all of this as an extension of the me me me society we live in.
So many people feel 'entitled' to something no matter what it is they do. Everyone has 'rights' except the person who is doing it according to rules.

Everybody is part of the Burger King society. Everyone is having it their way.
