Invasion of the Obama Snatchers; Has the Democratic Party Lost it's Soul?

About that memo from the DNC, to summarize that memo regarding the seating of the Michigan and Florida Delegates: Here's an idea, We (the DNC) will only silence and suppress half of the voters of Michigan and half of the voters of Florida.


WHAT A STELLAR EXAMPLE OF DEMOCRACY. It reminds me of the 2000 Presidential Election when the Republicans were trying to stop the votes in Florida from being counted. All Democrats were standing up and screaming about that and rightfully so. Every vote of every American Citizen should be counted and counted as the voters voted. Period.


It is totally disgraceful for the Democratic Party to be conducting itself in the way it has been doing. The bottom line goal here for Democrats should be not to disinfranchise ANY of the voters from Michigan and Florida.


When these voters voted, they did not cast half votes. They exercised their rights as Americans to vote and vote their heart. For the Democratic Party to seek to silence, suppress, or attempt to tamper with the outcome of those votes is Un-American and undermines our Democracy as a nation.


If the DNC wants to impose a hefty monetary penalty, a fine on the State Democratic Parties of Michigan and Florida that's one thing, but to effectively change the outcome of the votes cast is not only shameful, it's unethical.


It is like part of the Democratic Party has been taken over by the Invasion of the Body (Obama) Snatchers. And their end does not justify their means; To silence or diminish the voices of the voters of any state is WRONG!


Maybe, the Democratic Party truly has lost it's soul. I certainly hope not.

Absolutely- it was FIXED from the beginning- they set-it-up for Obama so that he couldn't lose- they allowed Hillary to run to make it look lile a real election, and they let it go for 16 months just so no one would find out about the fix!
GET HELP!!!

This from someone whose judgement backs the Drug Capitol of the world, Spencer. He knows how to clean up his community. He knows how to get his community in order. Meth, Mexican mafia -Americans being found dead in alleys, human trafficing, mexicans being locked in huge trucks and dying from the heat, piles of dead bodies, cocaine, and the weed. You have such good judgement.

that through the fire, a stronger more cohesive party will emerge, forged from this soul revealing season.
We are finding out who are the dedicated and true to the misson and who are not.
Democracy encourages free exchange of ideas and opinions. There has been much of that. We the core of the party will comde together as a unit in November to stand by the nominee.
  
One Thing Is For Sure, If The Democratic Party Does Not Do Right, A Backlash Is Coming...

It's my hope that the Democratic Party would find it's soul and start doing right. But if not, I see a big backlash coming.

I'm sure that chaos would serve the party MUCH better. And chaos it would be if everyone wanted to have their primaries on Jan. 3. But, hey...what the heck? We don't need no stinkin party. We don't need any informed voters. We don't need no stinkin fairness to the candidates or voters.

To Palerider,

It amazes me that anyone who would call themselves a Democrat could possibly defend disinfranchising any voters. We are a country of 50 States, not 48 States.

A Monetary fine could have been imposed instead of trying to silence the voices of over two and a half Million Voters in Michigan and Florida.
