I wish he would go back to building HFH houses and stay out of politics. He’s done enough damage to this country.

"Jimmy Carter is actually brain-dead and has been for several years."

I don't think he had too much gray matter coming out of the starting gate.

I just heard on my local news that the delegates from Michigan will be divided as follows: 59 for Obama, 69 for The Clintons. Not a spoof, they actually reported it as the lead story.

"THANK YOU, Commander Limbaugh, for your valiant and successful execution of Operation Chaos!"

And what do you think this will accomplish in the long haul? It's a goddamn publicity stunt that has a huge possibility of bitting us in the ass. I have been with Rush since 1990. I contribute to his charitys. I subscribe To Rush 24/7. But I think he is way off base here.

Why would the DNC penalize state democrat party hacks for not having their state primary at the date the DNC delegated for such primary?

I mean just who came up with this idea to penalize? Democrats don't believe in penalties usually. They want everything fair, and even.

However, if the Queen of Pander, Mrs. Clinton, were ahead in the standings, this would never be an issue, since she agreed to these DNC rules in writing.

Former President Jimmy Carter said Wednesday that delegates from Florida and Michigan should not be counted at the Democratic National Convention because they “disqualified themselves,” and he warned of a disaster if party insiders try to wrest the nomination from the candidate with the largest number of votes and state victories.

Speaking about disasters, how about that 1980 election?!

If Operation Chaos gets rid of the atrocious practice of open primaries, it will be worth it. I hear that Democrats voting in Republican primaries is the reason why the GOP ended up with John McCain, the last choice for many of us. Now the shoe is on the other foot, and look how many folks are crying foul. There weren’t this many protests in 2002, when Georgia Republicans crossed over in droves to block the re-election of Representative Cynthia McKinney. Instead, her father blamed her defeat on “J. E. W. S.”

Open primaries would work if all 50 states (etc) held their primary on the same day. :’) No one would dare cross lines, except in rare circumstances. Also, in order to have closed primaries, the Demwits would have to agree to real identification, real voter registration, and real validation and verification. Not gonna happen. :’)

I agree - our *stupid* elected lawmakers here in Floridabroke the rules - the delegates should not be seated -it would invite other states to violate the rules.

All the same, I think they *will* be seated. Observe:
