The Republican Convention

There was no disenfranchisement in the Michigan primary. Michigan voters were free to vote in the primary.

Michigan was stripped of DELEGATES to the convention. It's a little difficult to argue that reducing the number of delegates disenfranchised Michigan since the rule was in place before any voting occurred. Michigan could have easily avoided losing delegates by holding it's primary at a later date.

By the way, if you want to argue that political parties disenfranchise voters when they set internal rules then you would also have to argue that corporations disenfranchise voters when they allow people to vote their shares owned rather than one vote per person.

since you are voting repugnant for the rest of your life, I don't think you get a vote on the dem delegates.

how ethical of you...

No, I would not have to argue that. And what the Democrats did was more of a flagrant disregard for internal rules than anything else.

for what it's worth, and then I'm done with you...

it's twerps and twits like you and the tea party boobs that are ruining this country.

Don't let facts get in your way.

At no time did the Democrats allow for any state to hold a primary before New Hampshire. In fact New Hampshire has a law requiring they hold the first primary. The Democrats honored that law.

Oh.. so you clearly don't only vote for Republicans. So your earlier statement was just an exaggeration?

Actually oralloy, it was you that attempted to disenfranchise Democratic voters when you attempted to dilute their vote by voting in a primary for someone you would never support.

As Justice Antonin Scalia recently wrote for a seven-justice Supreme Court majority, "A political party has a First Amendment right to limit is membership as it wishes, and to choose a candidate-selection process that will in its view produce the nominee who best represents its political platform."

It will serve as a great reminder why I must keep voting for Republicans in every single race for the rest of my life.

Facts do seem to evade you oralloy

You weren't disenfranchised because the Supreme Court said so.

Yes, of course.

Until you vote in a Democratic primary again. Then you will not keep your promise.
