It may come as a shock to you, Michael, but some of us actually have principles and stand behind them. Obama is the choice of the DNC which most definitely is responsible for what happened, and his campaign has blocked every earlier attempt to resolve the issue.

Clinton at least created her own machine.

Being called a machine politician is only slur because you believe that he is something more. He isn’t. He got to where he is today because there was a political machine behind him, to promote him faster than anyone else. If you look at what he has done, you realize it isn’t because of any great accomplishments – there aren’t any.

Obama and Clinton are both Republicans with a D behind their names. They are center right politicians with nearly identical voting patterns since they have been in the Senate together. Their foreign policy positions are pure Republican.

Don’t blame me because I stand by my principles, that is part of the package.

What you’ve got left is a slur against Barack Obama, that he’s a “machine politician,” and it’s meaningless. Hillary Clinton has every bit as much of a political machine, and so does every successful candidate.

Thanks to the DNC decision that no votes would be counted, Democratic turnout in Florida was below normal and the amendment passed, despite needing a 60% majority.

I explained about the real reasons for the Republicans changing the date of the primary in All Politics Is Local.

What they did on Saturday doesn’t “fix” anything for the people of Florida – we are screwed by that amendment, and the DNC helped the Republicans do it.

If Florida were a “crucial state”, the DNC wouldn’t have screwed us like they did unless they were totally incompetent. They are totally incompetent, and they are pushing a candidate with no real qualifications to take over the Presidency at a time of great turmoil in the country. I won’t help them.

Obama is nothing more than a machine politician. If you look at him closely you can see that he is a facade and nothing more. His “policies” are the same failed policies that are responsible for much of the current mess because his advisors still believe in them.

I’m not helping anyone do anything. The Party I have supported since 1964 screwed me over, and the results are their fault. This election was theirs to lose and they found a way to do it.

Any solution that only punishes 2 of the 5 states that broke the rules is not fair, and the Michigan solution isn’t even possible within the rules, so it will be fought out at the convention.

The powers that be want Obama, well he’s theirs. Now they have no one to blame but themselves for the result. Instead of Clinton 2.0 they have selected Bush 3.0 with a better speech program.

I’m out of it, and have been out of it since February.

Obama is a machine politician, and nothing more. For the first time in his life he’s going to actually have to compete in an election, and there’s no way of knowing if he can.

As long as only Florida and Michigan were punished, there is nothing fair about the process.
