Needs to be Said

I grew up in Chicago during the reign of Richard J. Daley. I know exactly what this piece is talking about:

Winning is the Only Thing--Vince Lombardi


That is the issue in a nutshell. Consider the regular whining of Democrats that we have watched for the last ten years. When Gore loses in 2000 (and he did!) under the rules clearly spelled out in the Constitution regarding Electoral College procedures, he obfuscates about winning the popular vote. It wasn't about the popular vote, Al!

When Michigan and Florida defy the DNC and hold their primaries after the clearly spelled out judgment that their delegates will NOT be seated, the rules get changed to allow half and then all to be heard at the convention.

It is like children of spoiling parents. No punishment ever will be inflicted, no pleasure ever will be denied, no rule will ever be enforced and nothing is off the table with regard to nefarious conduct if it means gaining power.
