The states and organizations in the states of concern are acting like demanding parasitic-welfare-recipient types. They broke the rules, they have to pay for new elections, obviously. They're parasites and offensive to better people when they demand someone else pay for new elections, under any circumstances, but particuarly galling because it's due to their deliberate disobeyance of the rules. This goes for Crist as well as for the Dems. And of course the contemporary “disenfranchise[d, ment]” loser lie is hurled. THEY CHOSE TO BREAK THE RULES; THEY MUST PAY FOR ANY VALID NEW ELECTIONS. Obviously. Stupid parasites.

T: Yup, the pothole situation here is getting crazy alright.
My front axle is starting to make weird noises when I crank
the wheel all the way to the left or the right now, and I know it's
from all the banging and bouncing around on these falling
apart roads. Funny thing, I remember back when MI had the
best roads in the country. Not anymore! They are especially
bad now cuz we've had a traditional winter, and not one of
the mild ones we've been spoiled with the past few years.

Ah yes Cosmo. I thought I fixed that title in my draft but I didn't. Well I'll leave it since the comments may DISAPPEAR if I fix it.

But my earlier comment still stands!

JSpencer: What is the deal with our roads in MI? I have a 4X4 F-150 and my shocks are going to disintegrate at this rate. I saw a pothole this morning the size of a Corvette and almost 6 inches deep!

T: I was commenting on your post's title- you used the possessive your instead of the contracted you are (you're).

Who knows what would happen in Michigan if we were to be given a legitimate primary? I'm a life-long resident and political junkie to boot, and I wouldn't place any bets. One thing for sure, so far we've been screwed out of having a voice by the Idiots (note the capital I) who brought this about. And of course the state can't afford another primary, cuz we're just poor folk here now – can't even fix the roads, which are all turning into cattle trails.

That picture is SO cool! They look so cute. Poor T! I couldn't keep you in the fold. Your wild third party ways were too much. I've failed!!!! BOO-HOO!!!

I think Barry-O would do well in a Michigan re-vote. But I'm a Obama slappy so take what I said with a grain of sand.

I know not what I am except that I'm a very pissed off independent voter Cosmo. And that I can't wait until this thing is over.

Should my state's Dem voters really be punished because the chicanery of R-legislators that most of us didn't even vote for?

No of course not. My lil' sarcasm is mainly to show how politicians will use anything and everything to "get" their opponent. The DNC along with MI and FL leadership handled this wrong.

Playing into how one candidate wants a redo and praising/criticizing it is counterproductive IMHO. I'm sure if the roles were reversed, Senator Obama would have done the same as Senator Clinton. Politicians will be politicians.

Hi T-Steele,

I don't know about Michigan, but I know about my state legislature (Florida). It has a veto-proof Republican majority (since '99 or '00). The Republicans were going to move the primary whatever the Dems did -- specifically to mess with the Dems' process.

The Rs thought it would be sweeter to get some Dems to support it too, so they added the provision about paper trails for our highly questionable voting machines. NO Dem would vote against the paper-trail.

Fl's Dems had nothing to do with the law that broke DNC rules. That said, the DNC didn't even bother listening when Karen Thurman tried to explain this.

Incidentally, our legislature is so highly Republican largely because of gerrymandering during the last redistricting.

To exemplify how futile Tallahassee is for Dems: in 2001, I was visiting the minority leader. Her friend, another rep from Palm Beach County, took me to an agenda meeting before we went to the House floor. The chair (an R) set out the agenda, the majority of the committee's members (Rs) voted for it, and the meeting was over in literally a minute or two. No debate or compromise or anything.

That's the way Florida government has been since the Rs took their super majority in the lege.

Should my state's Dem voters really be punished because the chicanery of R-legislators that most of us didn't even vote for?
