These clowns can't coordinate a one car funeral!

Keyboard cleanup needed on aisle five - that one is funny, never heard it before. Thanks, Feisty!!

In 2000 a bunch of "republican party officials" should have gone to jail for tampering with an election, and SCOTUS backed the criminals. In many red counties it will be difficult to believe the results. I can't imagine a scenario in which everyone can believe election results no matter what the technology is in place. It comes down to trust, and in these pimaries that trust has been violated repeatedly.

Fesity:

That isht is funny, but it is also very sad.

The "rig" is in. Anyone surprised?

I've said it before and I'll say it again: It will be Romney who walks away with the Republican nomination. It was always going to be Romney. The Republican establishment has picked its guy and will do what is needed to make him the victor.

The "smoke filled room" is back in style with the GOP and has been since 2000. There is no accountability and there are no consequences for screwing up or going back on your word or for being just plain crooked. This sounds like the behavior that we used to expect from Soviet judges at the Olympics.

"Regrettably, there was an error in the memo drafted and sent to the respective campaigns," Anuzis said. "There were questions raised at the time the memo was drafted as to whether the legal language used was accomplishing the goal of the committee and we were advised that it was, but now it is clear that the memo did not properly communicate the intent of the committee. The email traffic surrounding the drafting of the memo in early February makes explicitly clear what the intent of the committee was."

I want to see this memo. If the intention was to award the 2 delegates to the winner then why were these rules created?

Tuesday 28 February 2012: 30 of 30 of Michigan's delegates to the Republican National Convention are bound to presidential contenders based on the results of the voting in today's Michigan Presidential Primary.

The Michigan Republicans will bind 2 delegates to the candidate receiving the most votes in each CD and bind the remaining delegates propotionally according to the statewide vote with a 15% threshold.

• 28 district delegates are to be bound to presidential contenders based on the primary results in each of the state's 14 Congressional Districts. The party will use the boundaries from the 2010 census. Each congressional district is assigned 2 National Convention delegates.
  • The presidential contender receiving the greatest number of votes in that district will receive all of that district's National Convention delegates.

• 2 National Convention Delegates are to be proportionally bound to presidential contenders based on the statewide vote.
  • A candidate must receive 15% of the statewide vote to be eligible to receive National Convention delegates. From those candidates meeting this threshold, proportionally bind the national convention delegates according to the statewide vote. Round factions to the nearest whole number (below 0.5 are rounded down, 0.5 and above are rounded up). If the end result is less than 2 delegates, allocate 1 additional delegate to the candidate receiving the most votes statewide. If the end result is more than 2 delegates, subtract 1 delegate from the candidate receiving the fewest votes statewide.

I bet that makes Santorum foam at mouth. He's been awfully angry here lately.

Off topic, Please MSNBC can you get rid of the loud mouth Dylan Ratigan?Even when I turn the volume down I still hear him ragging on the President and people on the left.

He just committed a mortal sin. He played Bob Marley's sacred "Get Up Stand Up" . I am insulted.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JuMlHdxiIZ8

That loud mouth coward would NOT stand up if you helped him. Where are his 30 million jobs? Dylan is a sick joke just like "Moaning JOE". It's bad enough we have to endure Joe Scarbough. Now Dylan too; it just too much abuse!!!!

News for Dumb FUX -- talking about clowns, you certainly remember that the democrats in Michigan in 2008 had their share of issues. maybe there is something in the water?

The Michigan Democrat Primary took place January 15, 2008. Originally, the state had 156 delegates up for grabs that were to be awarded in the following way: 83 delegates were to be awarded based on the winner in each of Michigan's 15 congressional districts while an additional 45 delegates were to be awarded to the statewide winner. Twenty-eight unpledged delegates, known as superdelegates, were initially able to cast their votes at the Democrat National Convention.

However, the Democrat National Committee determined that the date of the Michigan Democratic Primary violated the party rules and ultimately decided to sanction the state, stripping all 156 delegates and refusing to seat them at the convention. Despite this, the Michigan Supreme Court ruled that the primary could go ahead as scheduled. The DNC Rules and Bylaws Committee later met on May 31, 2008, and agreed to seat all of Michigan's delegates with each delegate having only receive half a vote. As a result of this compromise, Michigan had 78 votes at the convention. On August 24, the delegates had full voting rights restored.

This debacle in MI is not an isolated incident...

It started in IA and there has been 'funny business' every primary/caucus since!

correct, both parties have their share of problems

nisl

I've said it before and I'll say it again: It will be Romney who walks away with the Republican nomination. It was always going to be Romney. The Republican establishment has picked its guy and will do what is needed to make him the victor.----------------------------------------

Nothing has changed. The exact same thing happened in 2000. george bush was going to be the rethugli-con nominee no matter how the people voted. And you want these same people back in power? No thanks, not me.

Bring back Sarah Palin!!!!!! Donald Trump!!!!!! etc. They're missing the fun. I thought once the rethugs got down to one or two candidates the stupidity would stop. Dang, was I wrong!!!!!!

You should see how Republican redistricted Ohio. Made it so the state will virtually always go red. Seems like a constitutional challenge is coming. What a joke, if they cannot win under the rules, they change them. Sad.

The 2000 General election vote count in Florida changed everything, including counting in the decimal number system and dictionary definitions of English words. Everything is now subject to revision until the speaker/counter gets the desired result. Welcome to Ayn Rand relative land!

OK yea !

Get ready for some Fall voter fraud and it'll be the miscounting, misunderstood GOP.

First they'll blame it on the Dems, then it'll be election officials, then it'll be yo Mama.

But as Mitt says a win is a win, how ever you get it!

Same old tired BS, those who can excel, those who can't cheat......All politicians lie, some lie for the good of the country, some lie for the good of themselves........If you can't dazzle 'em with brilliance, baffle 'em with BS.....Send the GOP packing, may it rest in peace......

These idiots may not know it but they are in real danger of ending their party as we have known it. Today they pretty much all voted to allow insurance companies to avoid providing womens health services and pretty much anything else a business wants to disallow on moral grounds. The Blunt Amendment didn't even bother to try to hide it as some religious exemption. This party is at war with the poor, the middle class and all women. Soon all that will be left are the religious fundamentalist extremists, the extremely wealthy and really stupid white trash and even the white trash may be too embarrased to take the literature at the polling booth showing how to pull the GOP lever.

jkh

Some of you have a very short memory of the Dems in 2008. You apparently don't recall the meeting to decide how to divide delegates in the states that had been penalized. Hilary and Obama both had reps there to say why they should have the delegates. And, surprise, they gave the edge to Obama! Such hypocrites, you all can be.

No matter what, Dem or Rep...we are in really deep doo-doo!

They're all master word smiths; where the number, 1, 2, and 3 objectives include swaying public opinion so it's more favoreable to whatever outcome that is decided, or intended; and making sure that no matter what happens, a positive spin can always be applied to, whatever is done....

It's "PR at it's finest" though in this case, as applied to politics, and the study/field of public opinion.... And yes, unfortunately, I did study some of this stuff in college; you don't want to know what all the topics and lecuring points on classes in public opinion was. And it only started with a review of WW II propaganda methods, didn't end there.... I changed majors after I had been lectured quite enough (IMO) on a how to dosier on some of this stuff.... But oh so much of it, I don't think was entirely distinguishable from corporate PR....

Hey CE,

You mean like how democrats do--well, did--the same in California? I doubt a constitutional challenge will work, but please go ahead and give it a try.

That is called gerrymandering and it is illegal, no matter who does it.

Its only ONE delegate, who cares. It doesn't make even a tiny bit of difference. I am sure Romney doesn't care and probably wishes that the Michigan GOP would not have done this. It is much ado about NOTHING. Santorum isn't going to lose the nomination by one delegate and Romney isn't going to win it by one. There are still four candidates in this race and one delegate vote is simply no relevant.

Seems like it ought to be up to the party to pick their candidate by whatever means pleases them. I am an independent and we rarely pick a candidate who is an actual independent; therefore, we never win.

Why politics in the US works the way it does.

It is legal to burn the flag, but not our money.

J Merle.. you have been collapsed thank goodness, but please stop repeating limburger or Rove unless you get it RIGHT AND you do the same for Bushwhacked....

Unemployment tanked before Obama got in and got worse due to the worst recession in history BEGINNING under Bush. Guess you think he could stop the rise the minute he took office.

He did NOT apologize for the murders. He apologized for the burning and THEN they were murdered. Good try though.

If he gave a no-bid contract to a company, it pales in comparison to all the no-bids Bush took while in office... Can you spell Haliburton????? billions. no bid.

Job losses were bleeding in the 4th qtr of Bush's term. Guess that was supposed to stop immediately as well.

Anyway, you are collapsed and nobody will see this, but if they did, they would see what a fool you are .

this is great..one lier calling the other a crook....when neither one knows what the truth even is. I have to wonder where the real committment of either one really is...with the people who vote...or their wealthy patrons who they both now owe tons to...and I have to wonder just what that will cost the tax payers...

.

Let's face it, the establishment candidate is still Romney, they really don't have anything else - other than conservatives.

j.merle

you are dangerously uninformed. half the stuff you speak badly of was driven by republican'ts. the rest is blather and nonsense.

Very disappointed for the leftist who want to see Mitt out to the race, they send democrats to vote for Santorium but it did not work. Dems are afraid that Mitt can beat Obama , Mitt won in Detroit even the media that carry the water for Obama said that Mitt was against the auto industry, and saying he is out of touch because he had two Cadillacs., how many out of touch rapers own fancy Cadillacs. LOL

Dems call Mitt the candidate of the establishment, however Obama was the candidate for the Democrat establishment, and they did the impossible to take Hillary out of the contest.

redvirginia - as a former Hilary supporter I couldn't disagree more. Hillary did herself in. I quit supporting her when she lied about landing "under fire" in Bosnia. She is in the best place for herself and is getting the foreign credentials she'll need to run in 2016. She will be a formidable candidate at that point.

ROTFLMO!, why don't you idiots look up how michigan distributes delegates. The overall winner gets 2 delegates, then delegates are allocated to the winner of each district. A tie is not likely.

According to that, would have to start dividing delegates. How about just getting rid of the at large delegates.

Funny, all this chatter coming just after people on this same forum (same people mostly) admitted they were democrats who went and voted for Santorum just because they would rather run Obama against him than Romney. Sounds like some scaredy cats to me. At least in my state, you can't go vote for the other parties delegates. That seems like a recipe for vote rigging to me, which a certain party who is trying to court the illegal immigrant vote seems to like to do.

Leftist have short memories as well. It is somewhere around 4 years now that the leftist threw Hilary to the wolves to get their guy in. But I could be wrong. Dems would not dare vote for Obama because he has dark skin and a muslim sounding name. That would be racist and we know they are not racist.

Hey! C'mon! They are just trying to get in some early practice at election fraud techniques. Where you can't suppress the electorate change the rules.....

To poster 1 Red Head,

Remember the 2000 election in Fla?

Dear old daddy's Lawyer " friendly" team descended in Tallahassee like kamikaze Vultures under the

command of James Baker.

Also if little Bro Jebb had not being the Governor of Florida, who knows.

Remember the " hanging Chad?

It's De-Ja-Vu all over again!

Just when we think that We have seen it all, isn't it?

Remember, this is the closest Wall Street has ever been one of their man been in the White House.

So let's be honest and answer the following question:

Why someone who is reportedly worth $ 200,000.00 USD, and paid $ 3,000,000.00 in Taxes last year alone, is so interested in becoming the next President of the United States?

The Presidential Salary of $ 145,000.00 ( Minus Taxes ) a year, does not even come close to pay Romney's taxes, even after cheating all the way down to 15%, and being reported unemployed to avoid personal income taxes.

Does anybody know something I don't ?

Because my 3rd Grade math just don't add-up!

Enjoy the show!

J Reyna - Gore lost on that day, and with each succeeding request to expand into the undervote. That According to All the major papers in Florida who spent hours looking through the results. BTW - Undervote usually favors the winner, not the loser.

HEY STanly you can hate Odumbo all you want but you can't change history and the facts those unemployment numbers belong to georgy boy. Prescrpit program for seniors unfunded, two wars off the books. Talk about over spending, and no accountability. You conservatives are just just as bad as the spend it all libs. Both sides are a bunch of f--king cry babies. The guy is dead, maybe the spooks in the CIA did him in. for Odumbo

the simple fact is that santorum is a theocratic nutcase that wants to impose taliban-style religious rule in the US.

santorum cares nothing for the first amendment and would repeal the religious freedom portion of it as soon as he got a chance

This is where you see the big money top Republicans using
their power to make sure the “right” candidate is the eventual nominee.

Think Republicans and elections, think controversies.

Dennis, I am in agreement, and now wonder come the general, will we have the same doubts or worse. If the results are close as some polls are indicating, this may be, come November. It is strange that only the Republicans have expressed concerns about voter fraud, yet when investigated, nothing has been found. Another thing that makes one go hmmmm!

Dennis,

Why is it that the only ones that seem to be complaining are the democrats? None of you posting are going to vote for the Republican anyway so I would think you would have something better to discuss. Why not let Michigan Republicans take care of themselves and worry more about your own states? There were a few mix ups in the democratic 2008 primaries and I didn't hear the Republicans throwing a tissy fit.

BTW, I see President Obama is finally calling for ending subsidies to the major oil companies, which I think should have been done a few years ago. But I can not understand why he doesn't want to end subsidies for his so called "green energy companies".

please take a look above where i responded News for Dumb FUX posting where I pointed out the trouble the democrats had with their primary in 2008.

these problems are not a right or left thing; both sides have shown great incompetence

sfcret

BTW, I see President Obama is finally calling for ending subsidies to the major oil companies, which I think should have been done a few years ago. But I can not understand why he doesn't want to end subsidies for his so called "green energy companies".

Once FOX NOISE gives a different angle (different being the operative word), you'll understand; maybe. It's a different damn LIE @ FOX NOISE everyday.

Bev,

I am for ending subsides for all businesses and farming also. I don't think we should be giving tax credits for "plug in cars" and other things like tax credits for jobs. I would like to see all federal programs reviewed for efficiency and necessity and cut or eliminated. We are broke, we can't afford paying everybody for everything. You can tax the millionaires and it won't make a dent in our national debt.

I have said many times I am not against raising taxes but only after all programs have been reviewed and the federal government cut waste, fraud and over lapping programs as called for in the GAO Reports.

BTW, I don't watch a lot of FOX or CNN or even MSNBC, but if FOX is so bad, why is it's number of viewers far exceed that of CNN & MSNBC. Don't you think it's pathetic that "The Factor" outdraws the NBC nightly news? (I rarely watch The Factor because it comes on here when my local news is on.)

sfcret - I concur, get everything else squared away before raising taxes. Part of the 1986 tax reform act was to also make spending cuts, cuts that never came about.

What a hoot.

The two at large delegates will be awarded proportionally to the top vote getter.

Not even Wiggles Willard could have straddled an issue as masterfully as these guys.

We will have to have the President put the National Guard at every voting station and counting room to make sure are votes count and its all on the up and up.

Iowa is still somehow missing 8 districts votes... make you wonder how Bush got his second term.

Scarrrrrrrrry.

YAY!

The collapse cowards strike again! lmao!

Truth stings don't it righties?

Leftist have short memories as well. It is somewhere around 4 years now that the leftist threw Hilary to the wolves to get their guy in. But I could be wrong. Dems would not dare vote for Obama because he has dark skin and a muslim sounding name. That would be racist and we know that leftist are not racist.

And there it is - when all else fails...

Race baiting...

Ricky, I know how much it pains you to have a black man in YOUR White House, but, you better get used to it, he's gonna be there for another 5 years!

Lot's of luck! ;o)

PS: I VOTED for the man based on his qualifications, sucks you have NO candidate who even comes close!

The polite term for this is jiggery-pokery and it has the odor of Florida's hanging chads. How can anyone take the American political system seriously?

What do you expect from a batch of CROOKS..... and your thinking of making him president..... Whats this country coming to.....

It's amazing. All these contests in... and South Carolina looks the cleanest?

Great job, GOP. Really making a statement there about how y'all run things better.

Paul - You might want to go back and check the democratic party voting fiasco in 2008, especially in Michigan and Florida. Big fight between Obama and Clinton as to divide up delegates and counting of votes. The primary wasn't ran very good by the democrats in 2008.

Just how is it that Feisty Redhead is always the first to post on any story involving the GOP?!?? Sounds like some "inside connections" of her own courtesy of MSN.

Well, jac...it's because Feisty is a ninja!

Nailed it, moonbaseGOP!! (Thanks for that...)

I hope and pray they don't nominate Santorum!!! But, they gave us McCain 4 years ago, then, he gave us Palin...so who knows...

TexasGramou812, What do you care who they elect, your voting for Obama? Are all the liberals this demanding about other peoples business?

WAAA, WAAAAA, WAAAAA. Santorum didn't mind taking the extra delegates from Iowa, by winning with only 25 vote difference. Now, Santorum is upset because the independent delegates were awarded in Michigan to Romney, the winner. Romney won by more than just 25 votes... Get over it Santorum and show some grace and ethics here. There is nothing worse than a lowsy loser....

The Michigan GOP changed its rules to benefit native son Mitt Romney, Who's surprised?

The Michigan GOP is just as crooked and conniving as the RNC

"The Michigan Republican Party has been rife with internal disagreements over the years, so it's not surprising that it doesn't even agree how its delegates should be awarded."

This is like a @!$%# fight at the monkey house! Are these losers great or what?

sfcret--Of course, PART of the reason O'Reilly outdraws the NBC nightly news is because Fos is the ONLY Right leaning news source, and everyone has a BUNCH of Left leaning nets to listen to.

That said, O'Reilly at least makes an attempt sometimes to be fair and balanced--the other nets (and many of the other Fox talking heads) don't even pretend. Too bad I don't like Blowhard Bill.

I agree with your 'suggestion' that we review all government programs with a view towards cutting them all.

However, I'm one of those that while I don't mind taxing the rich more, we make a REAL mistake by not taxing EVERYONE, even if it is only $5 bucks a year. EVERYONE needs to know that the handouts are NOT free. I might even go so far as to re-work Welfare, unemployment et al to where you have to spend a certain amount of time volunteering to keep your benefits unless you are SEVERERLY handicapped. Even a mom with small kids can do one morning a week at a day care center watching kids for someone so THEY can work. Or mow lawns of the elderly, or what ever. The thing we need to correct is the notion that ANYONE is 'entitled' to someone else's money, with NO effort on the recipient's part.

And if we need ANY proof of that, we only need to see what is going on in Greece. Politicians in Europe have been promising their citizens LAVISH benefits with NO way to pay for them, other than borrowing (also with no way to pay that back) and now the bill has come due, and Greece is on fire.

And I don't want MY kids and grandkids to be handed the bill because we have an ever growing 'entitlement society' who has never had to EARN those self-same entitlements, not even by LIMITING the number of kids they expect others (who LIMITED their family size) to pay for.

sfcret, your comparison is wrong. I have researched the 2008 primary's and your innuendo is not supported by facts. Both State's recieved 1/2 vote for their delegates because their State legislature moved the primary date up in the calander, both where controlled by the Republicans,,,,,,,,,,,,,, get it,,,,,,,,,. The DNC had rules and both sides, Hillary and Obama accepted the results.......... Don't dummy us down,,,,,,,,,,http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michigan_Democratic_primary,_2008,,,,,,,,http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florida_Democratic_primary,_2008

It was the REpublicOn legislature in those two States that moved the day of voting up, in violation of the Party's rules............Nice Try, Rush......LOL........the Repuglicans tried to dismiss or take power away from the Democratic party in those States.............. You lose..........

Now, Repugs in Florida have the "winner take all" agenda. Thats equal representation if I I've ever seen it,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,NOT,,,,,, Keep being the dummys to the power brokers in Florida,,,,,,,,,

And don't forget,The Great State of Arizona.

bitter red head works for msnbc always the first to post

momaid, some decent ideas there

Get over it Santorum and show some grace and ethics her

grace and ethics? from a talibani?

These clowns can't coordinate a one car funeral!

Really, the current Clown in Chief doesn't know his butt from the ninth hole with apologies to Karzai when he should've asked for one for the "Quran killings" as it continues. There are times when he should keep his trap shut and others times when his silence is deafening afraid to commit politically one way or another. Wishy washy, skittish and indecisive when he doesn't know what to do or when not to do it.

The Dems have picked a fight they wish the hadn't with the Catholic Church and other religious groups over contraception. Big political blunder.

The Keystone Pipeline seems to have brought Slick Willie into the fray criticizing Obama with Hillary trying to downplay this circus. Another losing decision making and policy.

Solyndra , Fast N Foolish and Obamacare will also follow him to the polls along with the bad economy and unemployment regardless of his propaganda attempting to portray a rosy picture.

Higher debt with even higher inflation as gas prices continue to rise along the cost of food and goods. The rising and overvalued stock market is not a leading indicator of what most people are experiencing economically and financially. It's just the opposite, go figure.

sfcret

Why is it that the only ones that seem to be complaining are the democrats?

Is Santorum a Democrat because he is calling this fraud!?

Let's face it, Romney is the "best" Republican candidate that money can buy - and they are spending a fortune!

Gee, all anti-Romney quotes in the story. I guess it's clear which side FR is on.

Bayllee - My comment was directed to the posters on this board. The liberal left wing posters act like they are so concerned, knowing none of them would vote Republican anyway. Santorum should just get over it.

As far as money buying an election, you might want to see how much more Obama's campaign spent than McCain's, so I guess you could say Obama brought the election. Obama promised he would accept government funding then backed out.

Let's see obama campaighn spending was to the tune of $750,000,000 vs macains of about $400,000,000. Yep, obama did buy the election in 2008. Now the obama campaign has a goal to raise $1 billion (all those zeros, oh my) for the 2012 campaign.

Yesterday or the day before, obama visited the NYC area for 4 fund raising events and raised $5 million dollars. You can bet that most attending would be classified as 1%'s

sfcret

Bayllee - My comment was directed to the posters on this board. The liberal left wing posters act like they are so concerned, knowing none of them would vote Republican anyway. Santorum should just get over it.

I don't think it's as much as being concerned as asking WF. I couldn't care less of what is going on - that's for the Repubs to decide - if they want to change rules behind the closed doors.

ROY WILSON-336103

Gee, all anti-Romney quotes in the story. I guess it's clear which side FR is on.

Romney should think before he opens his mouth but I guess he is being himself so he cannot help himself. Every time he if for some thing, he is against it a few minutes later. Roy, don't blame the media for playing it over..and over...and over...and over....Blame formney for saying this sh*t.

But you have a drug addict Limbaugh calling a college student a slut and a prostitute...good for you! Where is your outrage, Roy?

american-2051576

Let's see obama campaighn spending was to the tune of $750,000,000 vs macains of about $400,000,000. Yep, obama did buy the election in 2008. Now the obama campaign has a goal to raise $1 billion (all those zeros, oh my) for the 2012 campaign.

Obama outspent McCain 3 to 1 but the question is where did the money come from?

Let's compare it to the Republicans today: two billionaires are financing Romney and Santorum. TWO PEOPLE!!! that's what you can call a bought candidate.

Why is FOX watched more than CNN, CBS, ABC, or NBC? It's simple really, FOX News (and I use the word 'news' loosely) has historically brokered better channel position with cable companies and satellite broadcasters. This means in most of rural America, their channel assignment is among channels 2 through 12 and likely channels 2,4,5,6,7,8 or 10. In many markets MSNBC or CNN is relegated to channel 18 or 21 or 13 or some 'out-of-bandwidth range of common 'popular' channels.

In other words, they get more eyeballs by default, not because of quality of content or honesty.

I know some of you will proclaim 'What? MSNBC is on channel 6 where I am" but it's the whole country and all the rural cable networks I'm talking about, not a specific neighborhood.

Well, since comment # 1 was collapsed we just re-post this one here.

The dark Internet forces at work I guess, collapsed Feisty Red Head's 1st post.

So,

Remember the 2000 election in Fla?

Dear Old Daddy's Lawyer " friendly" team descended in Tallahassee like kamikaze Vultures under the

command of James Baker.

Also if little Bro Jebb had not being the Governor of Florida, who knows.

Remember the " hanging Chad?

Does anybody know something I don't ?

Because my 3rd Grade math just don't add-up!

Enjoy the show!

sounds fair to me, I miss the Donald, he would straighten them out.

Joe Reyna--funny, but Romney doesn't NEED to use the presidency to become wealthy. And even if he were broke, he could still parlay being an EX president into speaking engagements and books, only OOOPS, he already HAS that.

On the other hand, Obama, the minute he was elected President, RELINQUISHED his law license. WHY???

I mean, Michelle just let hers go 'inactive' but all she has to do to go back to practicing is pay her Bar association fees.

So Obama will leave the WH in 1 or 5 years with NO law license or any other way to make a living other than the same way Bush I, Shrub, AND Clinton do. (and by the way, Clinton, despite 'graduating' the presidency with MASSIVE lawyer fees, and NO law license) is now one of the 10 wealthiest presidents EVER. And NEITHER of the Bushies made that list.

And I think THAT math certainly adds up.

November brings the same crooks, a different day. Be afraid, be very afraid. This is just the trial run. If theyare not responsible or held accountable now, they will not be in November either. Does that ring a bell?

Mitt Romney just bought the GOP election rules, and the rule book. If he does not like the results he will just change the rule until he gets the results he likes. He will make the hanging chads and the dimpled chads look like pimples.

just say NO! to Slick Sanitorium.

more like they talked to the democrats involved in the michigan 2008 democrat primary. broke rules, cannot have any delegates, ok - you can have half the delegates, oh never mind you can all vote.

democrats had the same formula in 2008. delegates by district plus a bonus number of delegates to the winner.

see 1.10 for more details

This is the THIRD time the GOP hasn't gotten their act together regarding the vote count or delegate count. Remember when they pretty much declared Iowa for Romney, even though Santorum won the state? Or in Maine, with some caucus results ending up missing and others not counted?

If the Republican party can't run a primary or a caucus that they've done for so many times in the past, how can we trust them to run a country?

I keep hearing the dems in 2008.Lets make this very clear and I'll type slow in case you read slow.The article is about Michigan 2012 republican party primary.Thats republican 2012 primary,please try to stay on topic.Registered Independent for 36 years.

James,, your comparison is wrong. I have researched the 2008 primary's and your innuendo is not supported by facts.

Don't dummy us down,,,,,,,,,,http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michigan_Democratic_primary,_2008,,,,,,,,http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florida_Democratic_primary,_2008

It was the REpublicOn legislature in those two States that moved the day of voting up, in violation of the Party's rules............Nice Try, Rush......LOL........the Repuglicans tried to dismiss or take power away from the Democratic party in those States.............. You lose..........

clark - grow up! We have a good President. You are just angry that the GOP can't put up anything but morons and clowns. The country is suffering from another GOP moron that you no doubt voted for - twice! It will takes years to recover from his ignorance and pure stupidity. Luckily we have a President that is helping us slowly come back from the cliff Bush put us on. Now, go away!

The circus is the clown car Santorum and Gingrich are driving.

Tommy--REALLY? The Michigan decision will at MOST 'cheat' Santorum of 1 (ONE!!) delegate. Small price to pay for ROBO calling DEMS to try to get THEM to throw the primary in HIS favor!

I didn't like it when the Dems did that to Hillary in '08, and I don't like it when a pub does in '12.

MO,, your comparison is wrong. I have researched the 2008 primary's and your innuendo is not supported by facts.

And almost half the people in this country want to hand the country over to the Keystone Kops clown brigade? If they are this disorganized in a primary election, what will happen if they control the country?

Heartlight, remember the bush years? It would be even worse. They surely don't even claim to be compassionate any more!

Seriously, what do you expect from a bunch hooligans that attack women right? The cops should have been called earlier before now. These hypocrites have no damn respect whatsoever for our constitution they claim to be upholding.

Sheila---they probably think everyone commits voter fraud because so many of them do. I read that there were problems with Arizona because independents were excluded even though they were supposed to be included. A stunning level of incompetence and/or corruption.

Right Steeler Fan! RWNJ's get all of their news from FOX, so we see the same stupid, crooked tactics and manipulation over and over. If you listen to lies all day, the chances are you are going to tell a few fibs yourself.

Sheila MD--sorry, but my state has successfully PROSECUTED Acorn employees for voter fraud. And perhaps you didn't read the article that MSNBD ran last month that says there is something wrong with ONE out of 6 voter registrations.

And the DEMS are the only one fighting having an ID that says you are who you say you are in order to vote. Or even that you are a CITIZEN.

Bet if they thought the PUBS might be the beneficiaries of NOT having to prove who you are, they'd be pushing THAT requirement thru.

"ACORN was shut down in the wake of the September 2009 release of selectively edited videos by two conservative activists including James O'Keefe using a hidden camera to elicit damaging responses from low-level ACORN employees that appeared to advise them how to hide prostitution activities and avoid taxes.^[9] A nationwide controversy immediately ensued resulting in a loss of funding from government and private donors,^[10][11][12] including a "defund ACORN" act passed by Congress. Following the publication of the videos, four different independent investigations by various state and city Attorneys General and the GAO released in 2009 and 2010 cleared ACORN, finding its employees had not engaged in criminal activities and that the organization had managed its federal funding appropriately, and calling the videos deceptively and selectively edited to present the workers in the worst possible light. Despite this, by March 2010, 15 of ACORN's 30 state chapters had already closed^[10] and the group announced it was closing its remaining state chapters and disbanding.^{[13]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Association_of_Community_Organizations_for_Reform_Now}

^{You are a bad person........................}

You have to show I.D. and citizenship when you register,,,,,,get it,,,,,,,,If you don't register you don't vote, for the simple mind.........Gee gosh, how stupid can you get.....

yup, the FIX is in..........if Romney had lost then the "Intent of the Committee" would suddenly have changed to awarding those votes to the candidate with the fewest votes........seems fair as another flip in the party of flop

Just when you thought the GOP couldn't get any lamer and - hey - they did! This comedy is getting old fast. They really need some new material. It's gonna be a L O N G 9 months! :-<

Acoustic,

Romney looks snug, all the time ... because he is smug. Take this from a MA life-long resident, (and voter).

But he looks really creep doing laundry in his jeans and starched shirt. LOL

nec, people who are unsure, uncertain about their postion, resort to name calling and snarky remarks. So how unsure are you?

I'm sure that you don't even have an argument. I'm sure that I wouldn't vote for Romney if he were Joseph Smith incarnate bearing the gold tablets, the urim and thumin, and borne on the wings of the Angel Moroni himself.

What am I supposed to be sure of ?

I'm sure that the 2012 election will be a nightmare for the Right. That's as sure as I need to be.

pammy, do you think that is the point of all this disucssion? I was reading it to find out about the

Paul, you do remembe,r don't you, that Wall Street gave more money to Obama than had ever been given to any candidate.

dirt - and this applies to the Michigan story how????? Wall Street is in Romney's back pocket and again your point would be????

dirt, and you know that split in wall street political donations during the last election was 49% to 51% ?

so your talking about a 2% difference. probably the only reason they didn't give more to McCain was the couldn't walk and chew gum at the same time loser that he chose for a running mate (also known as sarah palin)

now what is your point?

cliff - and we all cringe to think about how bad it would have been had "our economy is not in trouble" McCain/Palin had been elected!

Not all, just you left wing Liberal fruitcakes.

cliff - and yet we left-wing Liberal fruitcakes are still far above you lowlife right wingers!

It's true wherever you go. Republicans just don't know what they are doing.

maze, people who are unsure or uncertain of their position resort to name calling and snarky remarks, just like bullies on the playground. So how unsure are you?

I am very sure. You can only be a right winger...
