Tell us: Why is it okay in your mind that Clinton broke the rules regarding Florida and Michigan? Should all rule-breakers be allowed to benefit in spite of their violations? Of what need are rules, if they are simply going to be tossed away when they become inconvenient?
Tell us: As you admit, there is no Constitutional right to vote in the primaries. Obama's statements regarding voting rights have nothing to do with primary votes. Meanwhile, his position regarding Michigan and Florida is unchanged (and in accordance with all party rules). How do you see his consistent stance as "hypocrisy?"
Tell us: Since you're so concerned with Obama's "hypocrisy," why you elide Clinton's flip-flop on the Florida/Michigan primary dates? First she agrees, then when she needs the votes she changes her mind. That's okay with you?
Tell us: If your only concern is "fairness," why do you keep using this issue as an attempt to tar Obama?
I wonder if there is even one Clinton supporter who has the class, personal dignity, and grasp of reality to stand up and say, "We fought hard, but we didn't prevail." Is there not one Clinton supporter who wishes to maintain a minimum level of dignity, decency and decorum?
There's not much worse than a sore loser, and little that is more pathetic than weeping over spilled milk.
