The Stupid-Delegates and the (Un) Democratic Party

It is absolutely astounding how the Democratic Party manages to shoot itself in the foot time after time after time. No wonder they want to get out of the war…they can’t be trusted with guns. The Republicans, especially our esteemed VP, know where to point their guns... in your face! We don’t need no stinkin’ “Right-Wing Conspiracy”…we have the Democrats, and, perhaps, a “Left-Wing Conspiracy”… to lose.

Democracy suggests one man (person?), one vote. And yet, this party has a whole dung pile of super-delegates to overturn any result the voters select. Or, if they follow “the will of the people”, they amply demonstrate the absolute uselessness of their existence. So much for democracy. They have created the perfect lose-lose situation.

States rights were important rights guaranteed in the Constitution. George Washington was elected, unanimously. By ONLY TEN OF THE ORIGINAL STATES!!! Why??? Two states had yet to ratify the Constitution and another, New York, couldn’t get their act together on how to select their delegates!!! These days, states rights are trampled. The federal courts have seen fit to abet this travesty. They overruled the Florida Supreme Court in 2000. The upheld political party rights, over states, in 2008, even though political parties were not part of our Constitution!!!

The Democrats have disenfranchised, and, regardless of whatever compromises may get the delegations seated, alienated both Florida and Michigan. Another job well un-done.

As if they haven’t fumbled enough, many “Democrats” are now trying to push one candidate, in a very tight race, out of the contest. This will disenfranchise even more voters whose primaries have yet to be. Then, as the coup-de-grace, they have made sure any racial or gender bias will play an important enough part in this election cycle to guarantee defeat.

We already know that the Republican interests are not the people’s interest. To quote Dick Cheney….”SO”??? Well, SO, apparently, the same can be said of the Democrats…or are they really that STUPID!!!
