What a mess...

Can I just say what an absolute mess our political system is? I'd 1st better premise this conversation by stating the following:
1) I love the US and wouldn't want to live elsewhere
2) I am a political 'nerd' junkie (ergo the poli sci degrees)
3) I am a liberal democrat and proud of it
That said, really, what a mess. So the Dems this year, OK the DNC is who my 'beef' is with, have really tripped up. Seriously. A year ago an ape could have run under the Dem label and won. Now by postponing serious decisions they've split the party in 2 and given the GOP a kick start they don't deserve and are completely going to take advantage of.

So, you say, what have you DONE about this issue? Well, I did email the DNC about 2 mos. ago w/a solution to the MI/FL delegate issue and also a 'come to Jesus' talk. No response was granted, HOWEVER I was put on their email list. So now I receive DNC updates from various mucky-mucks, which IMHO amount to P and M-ing. Truly the DNC is not using the internet to its fullest potential. And opposed to taking responsibility for their inept decision making, they choose to blame the GOP for everything currently going wrong in the DNC. They are presently acting worse than my 3 year old. I can reason with my 3 year old, the DNC just doesn't respond, whines, pouts and puts you on the whiny email list. Amazing. Get into the current times people - step it up a notch technology wise. AND for Pete's sake TAKE SOME RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR ACTIONS for crying out loud.

Next, you say, well the Dems have finally made their FL/MI decisions - yeah, May 31st after the party was ripped to shreds. When you tell a child you are taking something away, do you give 1/2 of it back - EVER?? No. If you do, you lose all respect and your kids knows they can walk all over you. So when the DNC decided to remove FL/MI delegates, they should have recalculated the total number of delegates required and MOVED ON. Problem solved, and it would have been solved last fall w/o the mess.

What else? Well, gee. In these times, having primaries in JUNE is completely crazy. Come on. Bump it up a notch so the intended candidate can move on w/the 'real' race and firm up their support country-wide.

And last - all these things together have the DNC 'playing' around. Let me tell you - this is NOT the year to 'play' around. A Dem needs that office this election.

1 last note about my political beliefs. I am a person who believes that the Presidency doesn't belong w/1 party for longer than 8 years. Policy and agendas get too far in 1 direction after that. The key to politics is the same as in life - MODERATION.

There's my rant for the day - OK, it's been my rant for about 3 months!
