all hillary supporters want is a FAIR fight....thats all....but obama doesnt WANT that
Ah, yes, that fair fight. Here's a quote from an email I got from the Clinton campaign last week:
"But millions of people in Florida and Michigan who went to the polls aren't
being heard. The delegates they elected won't be seated at the Democratic
National Convention in Denver this August -- and that's just not fair to those
voters. The people of Michigan and Florida must have a voice in selecting our nominee
for president. I have repeatedly called for seating their delegates."
Here's what she said about Michigan back in October: "It's clear, this election they're having is not going to count for anything." <link>
So she wants to seat the Michigan delegation resulting from an election she said wasn't going to count for anything (never mind the fact that she was the only major candidate on the ballot).
That's not only unfair, it's not even a consistent position. Care to guess why it changed?
