My Promise

Susan over at NoQuarter asked for rants….this is what I sent.

I am not sending in a rant since I don’t think ranting about the current situation is going to really help anybody; rather, I am sending in a promise.
A very long time ago I followed my family’s ideals and registered as a democrat on my eighteenth birthday. The day after Jimmy Carter lost the election, I re-registered as an Independent and have been one since. I voted for Bill Clinton both times and spent the rest of my votes trying to keep idiot children out of the White House – to no avail. In each election cycle I had to sit back and ask questions about the intelligence behind Democrats picking a loser and the Republicans running the middle class into the ground – always without answers. Now I have more pressing questions about the Democratic Party and its leadership; questions that amount to whether or not a person is an American first, or a Democrat first, and whether the Democratic Party can violate its own charter and continue to be the people’s party?

So skip to the beginning of May when the pundits and talking heads on the MSM are talking about Michigan, Florida and the RBC. What I was hearing was that the RBC was going to try to help out Florida and Michigan, but wasn’t going to allow it to change the course of the nomination process, i.e. keep Barack Obama in the lead. Has anybody been able to explain: A. Why it shouldn’t change the course of the race or, (more importantly) B. How the MSM knew it wasn’t going to change the course of the race? Is it possible that the answer to A. has something to do with the DNC headquarters being moved to Chicago and the amount of time such a move would take to set up?

As we all know, on 5/31/08 The Rules and Bylaws Committee violated the Democratic National Party charter when they held closed door meetings with voting and then proceeded to award uncommitted votes to Barack Obama. Was this not enough treason to their own party, but they awarded four of Senator Hillary Clinton’s delegates to Barack Obama in a sweeping statement that they realized those people really wanted to vote for Barack Obama. What? Excuse me?

Let me say that again. As we all know, on 5/31/08 The Rules and Bylaws Committee violated the Democratic National Party charter when they held closed door meetings with voting and then proceeded to award uncommitted votes to Barack Obama. Was this not enough treason to their own party, but they awarded four of Senator Hillary Clinton’s delegates to Barack Obama in a sweeping statement that they realized those people really wanted to vote for Barack Obama. So now we have a party that doesn’t espouse true and fair reflection…go figure.

This election cycle has been like watching a 3-D chess game with almost all of the important players hiding in the shadows. How long has everything we have seen over the last 18 months been in the making; 4 years, 8 years? After the unprecedented moving of the DNC to Chicago, what are they planning next? I am not devious enough to fathom an answer to that question.

Please don’t kid yourselves; in my opinion, Senator Clinton’s time as a powerbroker inside the democratic party is over and I only hope and pray that sometime before the next election cycle she goes independent. Everyone keeps saying that anything can happen, but I am going with what my eight year old son said, “It’ll be a miracle if Hillary gets the nomination”. That is a truly sad state of affairs.

So here is my promise. I will Remember in November. I will NOT VOTE for Barack Obama. I WILL VOTE for the candidate that has the best chance of defeating the obamanation. I will continue to work on our elected officials in the democratic party to adhere to the Democratic Party constitution!

Sincerely,
