“Remember, people will judge you by your actions, not your intentions. You may have a heart of gold — but so does a hard-boiled egg.”

Proof,

Don’t discount the power of satire!

(AP) The Republican Party announced Thursday that it will punish five states for scheduling early nominating contests.

*Proof sticks his foot into his mouth.*

Wow! I have come to the realization that Slavery is alive and well in the USA. The tax payers are the REAL Slaves. It never occurred to me that the Florida DMC would confirm that for me.

New mantra for Dems in FL:

Count every other vote!

Heh.

Nunez: It’s good that you stick up for bob, but he hasn’t seen reality through spectacles or even binoculars for a long time!

Do I need to explain to Nunez and his ilk that the Democrat nominee has not been decided yet? And that it’s a very close race between two candidates? How about the importance of counting every vote in a close race?

Or maybe I should just recommend a remedial reading course? Heh.

And the picture.

Just my attempt at bipartisan support for those poor, banana republic Floridian Democrats!

Proof,

All my posts take place in the concept of “reality”. That may be why you have trouble with them! Heh.

“There is an objective reality out there, but we view it through the spectacles of our beliefs, attitudes, and values.” ~David G. Myers

I think that’s a tad melodramatic.

Hyperbole doesn’t begin to cover that.

Yep, your right.

It’s the gop that doesn’t want to count every vote.
Good job, Kenny.

Ah, Zsa Zsa! You had me worried when you said you had a dame problem!

MikeA: You’re absolutely right about the earlier decision; it remains to be seen if the Dems will pay any attention to it. It’s a character issue, I think.

your original point was:

In the context of a close race for the Democrats.
Hello! McFly! Have you been paying any attention at all???

Here’s a clue: Go back and count how many times the word “Democrat” or a variation of it takes place in the post.
Then go out and read a newspaper and acquaint yourself with what’s going on in the world.
Then maybe you’ll recognize the significance of the Democrats not counting every vote in Florida versus the Republicans with (redundancy alert!) their nominee already determined!

You of course realize that the GOP is only seating half of the Florida delegation.

Why no comments on that?

Nice grasp of the issue Proof.

Yes, yes they did, it was 5 states actually .

But because the goppers’ in their infinite wisdom, rallied around Flipper John. With all the other losers dropping out early there isn’t a division of delegates dilemma as seen on the dem side.

(AP) The Republican Party announced Thursday that it will punish five states for scheduling early nominating contests.

New Hampshire, Florida, South Carolina, Michigan and Wyoming will lose half of their delegates to the national convention, said Mike Duncan, chairman of the Republican National Committee.

…The RNC voted 121-9 Thursday to impose the penalties. Duncan, who has final say over the matter, said he will abide by the vote.

Nice grasp of the issue Proof.

Thanks! Better than yours, apparently! Heh.

Correct me if I’m wrong but wasn’t it decided at the time of of the primaries in Florida and Michigan that because they had moved their primaries ahead in contravention of the rules that the votes wouldn’t count thus resulting in a low voting rate in both states and nary a peep was heard from any of the Democratic candidates?

I’m practicing my long sentence writing skills as you can see….if you don’t use them, you’ll lose them.

Why no comments on that?

There’s only one candidate. Duh.

“Oh, look; he’s doing it too!” Typical for a teenager.

Yep, your right.
It’s the gop that doesn’t want to count every vote.
Good job, Kenny.

You’re an idiot. Both parties are ignoring voters. The way both parties are now, and have always, framed voting leads to the different worldviews. The Republicans believe that you must follow rules. If you dont…your vote doesn’t count. Democrats believe that “voter disenfranchisement” must be avoided at all costs.

So you have two different parties where the same thing is happening. It’s a huge deal in one party, and not in the other. The Republican primary voters knew they wouldnt count and dealt with it. To the Democrat primary voters, it’s a crime against humanity that they don’t count.

The Dems have painted themselves into a corner. They set rules…but if they “disenfranchise” Michigan and Florida…they WILL lose the election. But if they fully count Florida and Michigan, golden boy Obama will lose the primary. They’re dicked either way.
