Rigged FL and MI politics, FEC, etc.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/wayne-barrett/could-the-republicans-cou_b_94158.html Could the Republicans Pick Our Candidate for President?

The party leaders of MI and FL are out of there since they allowed the National Leaders and the Republicans to control their members votes in the primary (and the national election). That should be the only punishment. The leaders of the party not the voters should be held accountable for voter fruad.

We need those Democratic voters in the GE to defeat not only McCain but Senators, etc. in Congress...local state elections.

"Paralyzed FEC Can't Enforce Election Rules" by Maureen Backman. Public Citizen News, May/June 2008 page 14.

The FEC can't enforce the election rules because they ony have two of the six members it is supposed to have. Federal law requires they have four commissioners for any decision, etc. It would be bad for one or two to make all the decisions.

Senators McConnell and Reid need to get their act together. Having empty seats on this commission during a year of a Presidential election is just outrageous and corrupt.

The manipulation and lying in this primary is just shameful for both parties.

4. I posted the article since some DU people still don't
understand why MI and FLL are being punished by the DNC. They asked.

5. The reasons for it.
They are being punished for voting on the day the Republicans picked for the primary in their state.
