72. Here's a tissue.
If you had crusaded against caucuses all along for the last 8 years, you'd have my respect. However, it is very apparent the only reason Clinton and her supporters don't like them is because she loses them.

My theory is a lot of her "base" comes from people who are not only too lazy to make it to a caucus but they are also too lazy to avail themselves of the records and rhetoric of the candidates. The "I didn't know Obama is not a Muslim" crowd. You know, the kind from the Southern Ohio.

The last thing we need is uninformed voters picking our leaders. It's a huge reason why a guy like Bush even got 100yards near of the White House.

If you want to fix the system, then fine fix it. There's a lot that can be done and if you want to have an "all primary" nomination process I wholeheartedly support that.

But that's not the rules of the game that we are playing now.

You whining about it doesn't change the rules and won't garner you support because it's apparent that if Hillary were winning the caucuses that would be "aok" with you.

After all is said and done, I dare you to take the time and help reform the system.

I know you won't but you are welcome to prove me wrong.

People get the government they deserve. So you might want to think about that when you cheer as Clinton continues to try to destroy Obama. If she would govern anything like she campaigns, then we are going to get Bush the III.
