This is what democracy looks like?!

I’ve been watching the DNC Rules Committee meeting for the last few hours to find out how to seat the delegates from Florida and Michigan (even though they have rules that cover this…they shouldn’t be seated at all for either candidate) and I have never been happier to have left that party. The disingenuous, greedy, and plain stupid behavior of some of the members of the committee and most of the spectators has been captivating much in the same way that a car wreck would. It’s horrible, but I just can’t turn away. But damn. It really shows maturity to shout down people trying to make sensible points (on both sides). How progressive. How enlightened.

How nauseating.

Let me sum this up for everyone (based on my admittedly limited viewing of the crowd attending this meeting). One side thinks that if you don’t vote for Hillary Clinton, then you’re a sexist. Another side thinks if you don’t vote for Obama, you’re a racist. Both sides think if you vote for McCain, you’re a warmonger.

It’s a wonder anyone votes at all.

It’s called discipline. The Democratic Party should locate some, then use it. Right now it’s still a bad joke played on democracy, and most likely shall be for some time, and I don’t think this is the end of it.

I could be wrong, but that convention is going to be something akin to Mortal Kombat, and I feel for anyone that’s going. Bring a helmet. You might need it.

And McCain is still enjoying the show, as he should.
