      Michigan and Florida should secede.

          Why? Because they were only granted a 50% pass on their rule breaking?

            No they need rise up and break the shackles of the Demonrat oppressors. Mine eyes have seen the glory of the vacated GM plants and all that jazz. Seniors to your walkers they're raiding your social security and plundering your 401k's with ill advised cap gains tax increases.

              Capital gains tax is not applicable to Social Security. What are you jabbering about??

                  Ah! It depends upon what "with ill advised cap gains tax increases" is referring to...just the plundering or both the plundering and the raiding.

                      I have no problem with the decision from a justice point-of-view; honestly, I don't think they should have seated Michigan at all.

                      But, from a political point-of-view, I don't understand why they didn't seat them all. Even seating them all, Hillary would still be well behind in the delegate count, but would no longer be able to whinge about it. Of course, she would whinge about the popular vote instead, but she's going to do that anyway. It would have been a much more powerful move for the RBC to say "here, have all those delegates. You still lose."

                        Why didn't they do this to begin with rather than that horribly stupid punishment they had planned on?

                            They wanted to make sure it wouldn't actually affect the outcome first.

                              Because they don't want a stampede of states to move their primaries up to Jan, 2012, and then Dec, 2011, etc.
