I NEVER agree with Ann Coulter, but her words today struck a chord. How can we Democrats be outraged because Al gore lost an election even though he had the popular vote and then turn around within our own party and allow delgates to nominate Obama when Hillary has won the popular vote across the board? If we, as a party allow this to happen, we can NEVER find fault again with the 2000 election!!

Oh really, I'm cut to the quick.
It's strange that todays Republican talking point is the same as this posters.
I like many try to expose what we all know is happening on this blog.
When someone who obviously just came on this blog rants on topics that are over it is a great indication of Trollism. Tonight Hillary and Barack are reported to be meeting. If she can get past this crap why oh why can't you and the troll.

Please go to Politics 101 in room 1. Unless we band together and change the system, for BOTH primary and general, why bother to vote? Our voices are NOT represented. The delegates/super delegates and the electoral college choose who THEY want regardless!
