Here me out my fellow American citizens, what occurred in Florida and Michigan was a carefully calculated underhanded move by the Republicans. The Democratic National Committee (DNC) and Barack Obama know about this fact. However, they stand strongly behind RULES are RULES. Please click HERE to get the facts straight and find out what really happened in Florida. Please click HERE to get the facts straight and find out what really happened in Michigan.
"According to Rule 20C1a, Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina, Michigan, and Florida should have had their delegates reduced by 50%. However, Iowa, New Hampshire, and South Carolina were not penalized at all to protect their first-in-the-nation status, while Michigan and Florida were stripped of all their delegates. Thus, the DNC is applying the rules arbitrarily." This information was taken from SeatOurDelegates.com.
There is something VERY fishy about this... Florida and Michigan were NOT the only states that moved up the election BUT are the ONLY ones being punished. Why were the other states ALLOWED to break the RULES and NOT Florida and Michigan? Hhmmm... I thought the DNC was FIRM on RULES are RULES!
Now as I watch CNN 'Larry King Live', I'm hearing Barack Obama's supporters saying that the rules are the rules and we can't change them. Okay, I agree that rules are made for a REASON. However, some times it is APPROPRIATE to allow the 'RIGHT' intention to override the RULES.
Let me take YOU back to December 1, 1955 when this country's RULE of LAW supported segregation. The RULE of LAW stated that blacks had to sit in the back of the bus and were allowed to sit in the front when seats were available. However, if a white person needed a seat, the black person was forced to give up their seat for them. Thank God Rosa Parks was too tired to stand up and refused her seat. This act of 'civil disobience' was the driving force behind one of the largest movements against racial segregation. Think about this for a moment... because of this ONE woman who said to herself ENOUGH this is WRONG I have every RIGHT to sit in this seat! The 'RIGHT' thing evolved and ALTERED/CHANGED the RULE of LAW which abolished segregation.
So why NOW is everybody standing so solidly behind the RULES knowing the American citizens of these two states will NOT be entitled to participate in casting a vote for their choice in electing a Democratic nominee? Isn't it their 15th Amendment Constitutional RIGHT? Isn't the Democratic party supposed to be FOR THE PEOPLE!
At first, the obstacle the DNC created was that the COST of holding the election was too much for the taxpayers of those two states to shoulder. James Carville and Governor Rendell offered to RAISE the money in order for those two states to hold elections. It wouldn't COST the taxpayers anything! Barack Obama FLATLY REFUSED because RULES are RULES! How convenient! Why doesn't Obama care enough about the citizens of Florida and Michigan? What is he afraid of? Yeah right, Obama gives glorious speeches about change BUT his ACTIONS time and time again have spoken LOUDER than his words...
You know I find it sooooo amusing that everybody is talking about RULES NOW after 7 1/2 years of this government on BOTH sides looking the other way, turning the other cheek when EVERY RULE has been broken and WRONG prevailed over RIGHT! As a result, this country is going to be brought to her knees. All of you are a piece of work. Shouldn't THIS ELECTION be about the PEOPLE! YOU are perpetuating MORE OF THE SAME. This is OUR NATION and YOU are CIVIL SERVANTS! You are supposed to be SERVING the PEOPLE...
