It's Time for a HRC Smackdown, w/Poll

You follow the rules.
You adjust your strategy according to the rules.
You allocate time, money, and personnel according to the rules.
And then, just when you think you have the game in hand and the clock is winding down, your opponent petitions the referees to change the rules to change the final score.
Welcome to a game of Hillary-ball.
Does ANYONE seriously think that HRC and her appropriately named spokesman Harold Ickes would be strenuously advocating for seating of the Florida and Michigan delegations if she was winning the overall primary campaign?
Do you think for ONE MINUTE that she and her acolytes would be arguing that the primaries as held should now be recognized as legitimate if OBAMA had won those two states?
After the lies about Bosnia, among others, does this woman have ANY sense of shame?
This is what she said MONTHS before the primary in Michigan:
"It's clear this election they're having is not going to count for anything," Clinton said.
Pardon me, but how does that translate into "count the votes as cast"? I guess that depends on what the meaning of "anything" is [shades of another Clinton?]
So voters go into an election in Florida and Michigan with the knowledge that these elections are not going to count. Who knows how that knowledge alters who turns out and who they vote for?
Neither candidate can put an organization or active campaign in place, thereby clearly benefiting the one candidate with near universal name recognition, and this is supposed to be a FAIR election?
One candidate compares the stripping of the delegates from Michigan and Florida like the elections in Zimbabwe.
Well, for once, SHE IS TELLING THE TRUTH. They were like the elections in Zimbabwe. Rigged to lead to the decision in favor of one candidate. And that candidate is Hillary Clinton.
Like being in the same boat as Robert Mugabe, Hillary?
And I am tired of all the talking heads at the NY Times, WaPo, CNN, and even MSNBC ignoring the fundamental truth that a flawed election cannot lead to a fair result.
Basing the delegate allocations on these flawed elections is UTTER NONSENSE.
Either split the delegations 50:50 or don't seat them at all.
SHAME ON YOU HILLARY CLINTON!
