How are the Florida and Michigan voters responsible for the DNC's arbitrary rule?
POLITICS ASIDE, I challenge anyone to site a RATIONAL, LOGICAL reason why some states should have a say in the primary and others should not. And if so, why not take that argument to the general election as well. And do not cite the Constitution. The Principle is identical. Particularly as the selection of the nominee could very well determine the results of the general election.
Go ahead. Try. Not one journalist, political pundit, blogger, politician, or reporter has been able to make this argument on any rational basis.
Did everyone forget that we supposedly live in a democracy? Countless men and women have fought and lost their lives in the support of this democracy. How quickly people forget the ideals and sacrafices that this country, with all of it's imperfections, has been built upon. Actually they probably didn't forget, worse they just don't care.
It is absolutely extraordinary, how many indiviuals will hide behind rules, schedules and committees verus doing what they know is right.
The country spends well over $100 billion a year fighting in Iraq, so also let's please hear a response that doesn't relate to cost of holding new primaries. And yes these are costs incurred at the Federal level they, but of course are in fact incurred by tax payers residing in every state.
The WWII generation, widely considered the greatest generation in U.S. history, would likely be shocked at how far this country has sunk in strength of character.
