Initial Post

This is my initial post on the first blog I have ever created. Heaven knows it is crowded in the blogosphere and I have no idea if I will post often or if a soul will read this stuff or comment here. I have a keen interest in politics and this has certainly been a fascinating year thus far. We'll see where this goes.

I guess the comment window works properly.

Listen, I'm pissed at Obama. And as much as you think my comments are over the top, there are even worst ones out there that even I, the turncoat, refuses to post.

Here's a link for your amazement. A lot of women are mad at how Fla. & Michigan were disenfranchized. Barry could've gone along with a revote but he knew he'd lose and instead decided to play hardball.

Now that it is clear that Senator Obama will be our nominee, I see little to be gained by rehashing Florida and Michigan.

But even if you ignore what Senator Clinton said previously about those two states (before her change of position seems to have completely changed her position),and give them full representation and seats delegates in the most favorable way to Sen. Clinton she can't win the nomination.

I will stipulate that the issues in Florida can be considered more complex and subject to interpretation. But the only way the people of Michigan will be disenfranchised will be if the results of that Soviet style election are validated.

One name on the ballot is not how we conduct elections in America. And Sen. Clinton herself said emphatically that the Michigan primary would not and should not count.

The argument to seat delegates on the basis of that bogus primary is desperate, pathetic and dishonest. And would indeed disenfranchise the voters of Michigan.
