I am a Democrat at heart, and I hate the idea that I may become like my dad (who is a diehard Republican). It seems as I grow older I grow to be more and more like him.

My guy Barack came out with an amazing speech this week.  If you haven’t seen it yet, you have to watch it. His oratory skills are like no other, and if you don’t give him some credit for the speech - then you just aren’t truly listening.

Some people don’t listen.  Some just can’t play by the rules.

I just can’t understand how some people don’t think the rules apply to them.  Just like single drivers driving in the carpool lane.  What makes you so fuckin’ special?!?!

So I have to ask, “what makes Florida and Michigan so freakin’ special that they don’t have to play by the rules?”  They broke the Democratic primary rules, and now they want their delegates seated?  FUCK NO!  They think they can move their primaries up to be more special than others?  Well, they get what they deserve!

Offering re-elections is preposterous.  It just gives them what they wanted in the first place… the spotlight, the added importance.  If they should get their delegates seated, then split it 50-50.  Their delegates will be in Denver, but their addition is without determining consequence.

The Democratic party is partially to blame in the fact that they should have clearly stated from the get go that there would be no Democrat primaries in those states.  Maybe the total primary ban is not allowed, but the consequences should have been unequivically laid out on the table.  Fine, vote in the primary, but their votes won’t matter… oh wait, that’s what Clinton said!

You broke the rules (no matter what you think of the rules) and now you should face the econsequences.

Disenfranchisement may seem harsh, but rules are not meant to be broken.
