I'm personally absolutely beside myself with the DNC's decision today. If this isn't toally breaking their own rules...then I don't know what is!
Obama took his name off the Michigan ticket and yet he will now be given all the "uncommitted" votes on top of those Hilary actually won herself? WTF? I am so sick of political corruption. People cast there votes and there votes should count as they were intended (yes, I get alittle angry with political issues, sorry)I don't care if your republican, democrat for Obama or Hillary, we have a voting system in place and we seem to constantly throw the rules aside when its 'convenient' for the chosen winner by the media or the party. This is absolute BS!
Harold Ickes and Tina Flournoy made the following statement:
Today’s results are a victory for the people of Florida who will have a voice in selecting our Party’s nominee and will see its delegates seated at our party’s convention. The decision by the Rules and Bylaws Committee honors the votes that were cast by the people of Florida and allocates the delegates accordingly.
We strongly object to the Committee’s decision to undercut its own rules in seating Michigan’s delegates without reflecting the votes of the people of Michigan.
The Committee awarded to Senator Obama not only the delegates won by Uncommitted, but four of the delegates won by Senator Clinton. This decision violates the bedrock principles of our democracy and our Party.
We reserve the right to challenge this decision before the Credentials Committee and appeal for a fair allocation of Michigan’s delegates that actually reflect the votes as they were cast.
**can someone spell Florida right in the thread name LOL I was too ticked to notice I can't even spell Florida, and can't change it now.
