Signs of democracy

The scene outside the DNC Rules and Bylaws Committee meeting:

Chants:
"50 states! Not 48!"
"What do we want? Democracy! When do we want it? Now!"

Signs:
"Woman arise - Stop the bias!"
"No voter left behind"
"I have switched to Fox"
"If you won't count us now, you won't count us in November"

All this play-by-play is really getting a bit much, here.......

Are these Hillary supporters protesting rules being followed?

Maybe they'd like to define oral s$x too

I'm surprised, although I shouldn't be, that the Clinton supporters are casting this fiasco as something that is motivated by sexism.

The fact that Sen. Clinton is a woman has NOTHING to do with the situation. NOTHING. It is as relevant as Sen. Obama's race, which is to say NOT AT ALL.

The only relevant issues now are what were the rules, who followed them, and what will be the consequences. Leave racism, sexism, and all the other -isms out of this.

There's something happening here
What it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a blog over there
Telling me no sexism anywhere

I think it's time we stop, children, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down

Very creative, Hillary Hag -- both your lyrics and your conclusion.

While I appreciate your classic rock chops, I have to point out that I never said there was "no sexism anywhere," but merely that there was none in the DNC issue. If the tables were turned, would it be appropriate to claim racism?

If the tables were turned, appropriate nor not, there would be cries of racism.

Florida voters have been disenfranchised!!!

The democratic party will pay a heavy price in November.

Florida's electoral votes just all went to McCain thanks to the DNC


that's cause Thurman hangs out with the sk#nk Susan Smith. looks bad for everyone.
Drinks on Susan!!!!!
