For those of you who aren't political junkies

Some (perhaps many) candidates will take advantage of your ignorance by telling you reasonable-sounding, yet blatant lies. I would point a finger at The Clintons, for instance. Bush would be another example. (See Iraq, invasion of; Iraq, WMD in; 9/11, Iraq's role in). Some would disagree

The Clinton's antics over the past few weeks have been terribly annoying. I don't think I have any respect left for President Clinton. And Mrs Clinton's "we shouldn't silence the voters in Michigan/Florida" (where she conveniently was the only one who didn't withdraw, is despicable.

I've seen nothing but condemnation for her effort to get the Michigan and Florida delegates seated. One commentator compared it to Calvinball -- making up the rules as she goes along. I guess she figures the ends justify the means. If doing the right thing causes her to lose, she might think, then there's no benefit to doing the right then, is there? And, she might think, the Dems will forgive her anyway, because they don't want another Republican in the White House. So what's the down-side, right? (Except for the party and the country, I mean.) And hey, if the rabid Obama supporters don't come out to vote for her after all this, they're the ones who are letting their cult-like devotion to Barack get in the way of doing the right thing; she's not to blame.
