Right ON!

Personally, I cringe when I think of the Clinton’s being back in the White House. I also think, rather, I also know that Obama would be a poor choice as well.

The Democrat Party (there’s nothing democratic about them) has pretty much stuck their foot in it and those voters, whether they be Democrats or Republicans, who are being disenfranchised, are getting the short end of the stick. I’m glad I don’t live in either state.

Thanks for the cogent comment.

At the start of this primary election, the name Clinton carried such recognition that it was like voting for the incumbent. Statistics show that the incumbent, unless extremely unpopular, usually wins elections because people are familiar with that “name” brand. In order for these primary elections to be considered fair, all of the candidates would have needed to campaign to get their names and positions out to the voters.

In Michigan, Clinton was the only name on the ballot. In Florida, the election also had a very important initiative on the ballot regarding home ownership and real estate taxes. If you owned a home in Florida, you were going to go to the polls to vote for the property tax bill. While there, you would cast your primary election vote.

However, if you did not own a home… You weren’t as affluent or you were a student or you had to work that day … and the property tax bill did not directly affect you, you were likely to say my primary vote doesn’t count so I don’t need to cast my vote. IT DIDN’T COUNT.

Now that the election has gone on, to say that the votes should be counted as cast is not fair. The election was not fair. All this B.S. about the Democrats in Florida not voting for the primary date to be changed is nonsence. The vote was 118 yea and 0 nay. 43 Democrats voted to change the primary date after being warned by the DNC for months that the delegates would not be seated.

For the record: Nelson, Wasserman ect ect are all Hillary supporters. This isn’t about the poor voters of Michigan and Florida. This is about Hillary Clinton’s campain. She’s entitled to fight for her campaign, but dragging all this through the mud for her own benefit and to the demise of the Democartic Party is really making me angry. If we loose the general election it will be because of her divisive rhetoric.

Read this post asking voters to boycott Obama if the Florida and Michigan Primaries don’t count.
