Also know that games including politics have rules and the rules were set before the legislatures in MI and FL changed the primary dates with full awareness of the consequences. &amp;nbsp;Of interest is that both states have Republican contgrolled legislators and Fl also has a Repub. governor. &amp;nbsp;HRC had no problems accepting those rules initially and Harold Ickes from her campaign was on the committee that set the penalties for the infractions. &amp;nbsp;Now that she is behind, she wants to change the rules to suit her and she is going to blame Obama for agreeing to follow the rules. &amp;nbsp;I don't think we need anyone in the White House who makes and bends rules to fit his/her political desires at the moment. &amp;nbsp;Been there, done that, got the weakened Constitution. &amp;nbsp;</description></item><item><title>Clinton: Bill as J.R.?</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/03/26/810015.aspx#811633</link><pubDate>Wed, 26 Mar 2008 15:39:42 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:811633</guid><dc:creator>Nick Martinez, Austin, TX</dc:creator><description>This is a fair enough article but I'm pretty sick of people bringing up the Obama supers whose states were won by Clinton when there are any number of Clinton supers whose states were won by Obama (think Washington state). &amp;nbsp; Anyway, of course the people inside the system think it is o.k. to &amp;quot;exercise&amp;quot; their own judgement but that doesn't mean that voters have to be O.K. with it. &amp;nbsp;I'm not O.K. with it at all. I think the popular vote should always outshine all these silly rules of state by state and supers and whatnot and the candidates electability be damned. &amp;nbsp;Voters have to get over thinking like amateur party pollsters and pick the person they like and then work as hard as they can to see that they win. &amp;nbsp;Otherwise voters should be quite about how much they dislike congress since all these people were clearly electable. We can't have these crazy &amp;quot;electable or not electable&amp;quot; arguments and then running around moralizing to the world about democracy. &amp;nbsp;Anyway, if all people really cared about was who could win then George Bush would be basking in popularity since he stole an election, won an election, and, until the last month or so, has gotten almost everything he has wanted. Democrats always talk about McGovern like they want to avoid that while people forget the &amp;quot;winner&amp;quot; Nixon had to leave the office in disgrace after creating this beast of the imperial presidency. Winning just to winning does nothing to help democracy and I don't see that these supers have any special powers to help them make up their minds.</description></item><item><title>Clinton: Bill as J.R.?</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/03/26/810015.aspx#811777</link><pubDate>Wed, 26 Mar 2008 15:46:59 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:811777</guid><dc:creator>GJL, Strasburg, PA</dc:creator><description>HRC is a spoiled kid.

Ewing is to demean and insult J.R. Bill Clinton, for one, has no sense of family dignity -- which was J.R.'s backbone. The weakness of J.R. was that he stooped to nothing in an effort to live up to his daddy's legacy. Bill Clinton, on the other hand, is a common crook, liar, and opportunist. Anyone that voted for him and supports that vote is in a profound state of denial. Fact is, and deep down they know it, voting for Billary was a huge, profound mistake.
