Not worth even 3/5 of a vote! (Vanity)

I've been watching with great amusement the rules committee today on CNN.
Their vote awarding 1/2 a vote to the Michigan and Florida delegates is remarkable and unbelievable.
Think about it. The Democrats have said that their delegates (and hence, their voters) are not even worth the 3/5 vote the Constitution originally gave blacks!

I think we should embarrass them about this at every opportunity. I was ROFLMAO about this tonite! Posters, bumper stickers...

Try to post this to liberal blogs:
“The last time the Democrats negotiated with several states over votes they were able to get 3/5ths, and now they can only get 1/2?”
To: Anitius Severinus Boethius
LOL! I know!
That’s why this is so damn funny!

Actually, slaves were not given 3/5ths of a vote in the Constitution. They were given no vote. The states in which slavery was practiced were allowed to count a slave as 3/5 of a person for representation purposes in the House of Representatives. Being a crimalien, a/k/a illegal alien, is worth more than being a slave as the Bureau of the Census counts people here, not just citizens!
My take away from this is that the Democrats should not be placed in charge of ANYTHING!

I watched some of that in absolute disbelief. This is the party that will be running the country next year. It’s absolutely incredible how far we’ve sunk. THEY CAN’T EVEN RUN THEIR OWN PARTY, for God’s sake.

You are technically correct and that is what my wife said this evening.
Nonetheless, the average ‘Rat voter thinks blacks were given 3/5 of a vote. To rub this in in this way relates to them in a language they already speak.

This kind of behavior has been a Democrat tradition for generations. Will Rogers used to say, “I’m not a member of an organized political party; I’m a Democrat.”

Well I for one will take the high road and give heartfelt praise for this decision. In fact, in all future elections, I move that all Democrats be given 1/2 vote to cast! :)

They are simply amazing.
I think Hilry will end up with more votes than nObama, but they (in the person of their “super” delegates) as a party would never have the guts to go against political correctness and nominate Hilry, the will of the “sheeple”. After all blacks are a much more protected class of folks than females in the eyes of self-serving, close-minded, condescending liberals.

Even Democrats in all of their socialist error should be allowed time to learn more about their candidates. Some states are holding their primaries way too early in efforts to further delude and cheat most voters. This is America—not Sicily.

I'm still thinking that Hillary has at least a 50/50 chance...the final tweaks haven't been tweaked yet.
Losing is not an option.

I agree that it is funny, BTW, putting the creepy, spoiled, domineering, infiltrating man-haters in their place in favor of the rivals that they’ve lied to and hated so much for about 150 years.
