Winner Takes None

Winning isn’t the most important thing; it’s the only thing-Vince Lombardi

When did America become land where the persons who wins doesn’t win? When will the majority have its voice? I have listened to people try to justify /explain /rationalize/spin why Hillary Clinton should be the nominee of the Democratic Party. I have heard and watched people twisting themselves into knots to express their view why Clinton should be allowed to assume the nomination when more people, when the day is done, will have voted for Barack Obama. Has our democracy become so malleable that the winner isn’t the winner? Now there are reports of super delegates wanting favors and assurances in return for their vote. The democratic process is being bought and sold in an open market for all the world to see. Is this the America people want? We are a nation of laws that imprisons people without trial. We are signatories to the Geneva Conventions but we torture using “enhanced techniques”.We are illegally spied upon by our own government. We are in the middle of a war that 70% of the American people oppose, but still it continues. Will our rhetoric ever match our actions? When will the American people get to choose their destiny or will they have it chosen for them again? If Hillary Clinton is the democratic nominee I will not vote for her and I am not alone. The Democratic Nation Committee has a choice to make. They can either follow the will of the voters or they can face defections and apathy from their party and they will have lost the presidential election before a single vote is cast in November. And if they choose Clinton they should change their name because their action would anything but “democratic”.
