Losing The Game? Change The Rules!

J.J. Jackson* | February 20, 2008 

Liberals are famous for concocting rules and then dashing them to the curb when those rules get in the way of their victory. Remember Florida in 2000 where Democrats designs the butterfly ballot, administered the ballot and then complained the ballot was too confusing for Democrat voters to figure out? Well, the Democrats are once again arguing with themselves over whether they should be able to change the rules they themselves set down as it looks like Hillary Clinton (their presumptive nominee) could possibly lose to an uppity black man who has wondered off the plantation they have set up for him.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - As Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama battle to be the Democratic presidential nominee, the winner could be determined by primaries held weeks ago in Florida and Michigan, even though the party decided to ignore their results.

Both contests have been ruled unofficial because the states violated Democratic Party rules by moving their elections forward in a bid to have more influence in selecting the nominee.

Now Michigan and Florida’s 366 suspended delegates could prove decisive if neither candidate lands a knockout blow in the states remaining before the party’s August convention.

Basically here is what it boils down to. Michigan and Florida broke the party rules and were punished. They were stripped of their delegates. But now that Hillary isn’t winning and the Clinton machine isn’t doing so well they are trying to find a way to seat these delegates anyway even though Clinton was the only Democrat on the ballot in Michigan and neither campaigned in Florida because they knew the rules going in.

But you shouldn’t be surprised. Liberals have a long history of ignoring the rules. They’ve been violating the Constitution for years.
