"The rules require that your votes not count." "Maintaining order requires that your votes not count."

Obama's argument supporting the disenfranchisement of millions of Florida and Michigan voters. The same arguments were once used by Jim Crow segregationist to justify their disenfranchisement of other Americans.

"I will allow the votes to count, if an acceptable formula is agreed upon"

Obama stating that he will "allow" voters to "matter" in the selection of the Democratic Candidate so long as they will "allow" him to decide how they voted.

"It isn't fair to count votes when I haven't campaign for them."

Obama demonstrating that he's got democracy exactly backwards. In a democracy the voters get to decide on the candidates, not the other way around as is manifestly the case in Obama-land.

Good post

I have real trouble with anybody, Obama OR the DNC not counting the votes

This is why , after being a life long democrat, I will now be an Independent.

I am so ashamed of democrats I couldnt begin to tell you all the reasons why. The DNC made a real HASH of this.

obama out spent hillary 3 to 1

and hillary ALMOST WON

i dont think THAT allows for butt wagging in the losers face....you guys are SO full of shit

obama has NO MANDATE from the democrats

Issywise:

Is it possible for your partisan to see that counting votes in and of itself is an important matter--regardless of how it effects any candidate: that the vote is the only tool for retaining accountability of the government to the people and messing with it is, in and of itself, an important proof that one is not qualified for high office.

I totally agree. Well said
