Are the Democrats ever happy?By amanda zaluckyj, Section News
First it was recounts. Now, it's a re-vote. Are the Democrats ever satisfied with election results?
If you watched any of the weekend news programs covering the 2008 POTUS election, you probably heard that the Democrats now want to find a way to include Michigan and Florida in their delegate count. Remember? The Democrats decided that Michigan didn't count and they didn't want to spend time asking Michiganders for their vote. Back in January they wanted nothing to do with our little state. After all, why should we have a say in the process of selecting the nominee for president? Apparently, they've changed their minds...and they want to suspend the rules so that they can now include us. But only because it would be helpful to have those delegates in such a tight race.
According to Fox News:
But nobody expected the nomination process to be this close or last this long, and now many have started to complain that to exclude Michigan and Florida would be to deny the states' voters of their right to elect a candidate. Really? Not seating Michigan delegates means that Michiganders are excluded from the process? I'm pretty sure we were all well aware of that fact back when the Democrats first decided to ignore our votes. For some reason though, now there are "many" people starting to rethink this whole idea. The reason is probably the fact that Hillary Clinton and her supporters would like her to have those delegates in such a tight race. Now that she actually needs more delegates, she doesn't mind us breaking the rules. Yep, Clinton doesn't mind breaking the rules so long as she gets more delegates. And what about Obama? Well, he's the one that pulled his name from our ballot the first time. Obama originally agreed that there was no reason to ask Michiganders for their vote. Does he want to have a re-vote? Only if it benefits him, of course. I find it really ridiculous that the Democrats think they can ignore us and tell Michigan that we don't have a place in their primary, and then turn around and start trying to court us again. But only because they need us to win - not because they really care about the issues effecting Michigan. I hope that Michiganders remember this in November: the Democrats only wanted us when it could help them win an election, otherwise they could care less.
