Playing by the Rules

America is a nation governed by laws however imperfect they may be. In this election cycle, the Democratic Party established four states to precede all others in their primary vote. Nevada was chosen to be one of those.

This decision by the Democratic National Party is now in chaos. First Florida, then Michigan, moved up their primary dates. Obviously, the whole system needs an overhaul. But the election process must proceed. John Edwards, among other candidates, decided to follow his party’s rule–for better or worse–and remove his name from the Michigan ballot. This ensures Nevada its key role in the nominating process.

However, Hillary Clinton has refused to remove her name. One can argue over the process. One can’t argue with the fact that she appears willing to break rules established by her own party. If she is willing to break these rules; can we really trust her to govern our nation’s laws?

This is not about women’s rights anymore. This is about representing the people of this country. Imperfect as these rules may be, I support John Edwards as my candidate for President because he follows them.

This is just politics as usual. Whats so hard to understand? Corruption, deceit and broken promises go hand in hand with politics.

i agree with Hillary keeping her name on the ballot. This primary flap could hurt the party,if you dont seat a states delagates you can almost be sure to loose that state and if youre not on the primary ballot you have to play catch up and thats hard when the other party has hawk news to condem you 24-7.
