How to Rig an Election
Step 1: Tell the voters: Your Votes Don't Count
Step 2: Agree That the Voters Votes Won't Count.
Step 3: Keep your name on the ballot because you're worried about the opposition voter. A presumptive nominee wants her voters to know that she still supports them, even though she knows the votes won't count.
Step 4: AFTER the election, raise doubts about the valididity of leaving voters out.
Step 5: Start calling the elections as 'disenfranchising' voters even though you told them not to vote.
Step 6: Count the votes.
We saw today that this only 'half' happened. My friends in MI are PISSED! Most of them didn't vote, and two who would've voted for Obama, voted for Clinton because they wanted to vote (and, yes, they knew that if they wrote in a name it would be discarded).
Here's how you rig an election. Not behind the scence where the international monitors can cry foul. But in public, and you can cry "Democracy for all".
This whole spectacle today really makes me wonder. A spade is a spade, whether you call it Democrat or Republican, they really follow the same rules, just in different fashion. It really demonstrates why Democrats loose to Republicans. Tell your constituents one thing and do another.
Oh, the Democrats are fools. And I will continue to support them. It's better to support a fool with ideas than a dictator.
Peeps: Help me out on this.
Peace, Love, Dove.

Hillaryis44 is equating Nancy Pelosi to Katherine Harris.
I don't know where to start or how to help, Chauncey. This is just getting bizarre.

I don't know Hillayis44. I don't know Nancy Pelosi. I don't know Katherine Harris. And I'm willing to bet that most people don't 'know' any of them like: "Oh Yeah, she's my neighbor" kind of way.
I wasn't able to watch the testimony today but I was able to watch the rulings of the RBC. Is it possible that HRC serrogates are advocating full seating because they know that nothing less would drive HRC to the convention? Am I too cynical? Please set me straight.

I wish Ickes and Lanny were fighting for a way for crazy Hillary ti concede. But instead, they are fighting for this pyrrhic victory so they can set up the next pyrrhic victory so they can delegitimize Barack in whatever way possible, by any means necessary.

Even if Mother Theresa won the nomination, Hillary would accuse her of stealing it.

Yeah, you might be right. Personally I have trouble believing that, but historically...you have a very stront argument. How did it ever come to this? I think, in a way, it's great for your party, but...where will it end?
I personally think, and others can skewer me on this, that if the roles were reversed Obama would have dropped out by now. Instead of forcing this huge fiasco.

I just want to let everybody know, for historical reference, that May 31 was the day a dam break sent a 60-foot wall of water over the town of Johnstown, Pennsylvania, killing over 2,200 people.
I just automatically think of May 31 as Johnstown Flood Day, in case that ever pops up in conversation and it seems inexplicable or inappropriate to you.
That's just how I remember it's May 31.
So don't freak out or make a big deal out of it if I bring it up.
