Time Magazine Cover Depicts Democratic Split - Shades of The Wisdom of Solomon
This weeks cover of Time Magazine shows the current plight of the Democratic party as they try to bring the primary season to closure. This cover is shades of the wisdom of Solomon in splitting each candidate in half to create the standard bearer who can move forward and launch a successful presidential bid against Republican John McCain.
Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama have proven to be formidable opponents. Both have made a compelling case for receiving the support of the undecided Superdelegates.
It doesn’t look like Florida and Michigan voters will get an opportunity to see their votes counted. This travesty will in effect punish private citizens for the sins of their elected officials. Has anyone else wondered why the media talking heads have not reared up in righteous indignation over the disenfranchising of over 2 million voters? There was a day when that would have been the story. With a black man and white woman running for the highest office in the land, the big picture seems to have taken precedence over the plight of the citizens of two key states.
For me, the most difficult part of this fierce battle between the first woman and the first black man is the way the media has blatantly tried to sway public opinion with their over the top bias reporting. Oh for want of the good old days when reporters and anchors told the stories and let their audiences decide for themselves. No spin back then, just the facts. Sigh…..

Here’s the facts. The states knew ahead of time that they would not be counted if they broke the rules. The candidates knew ahead of time that they would not be counted if they broke the rules. The states still broke the rules…the candidates were fine with it, the DNC was fine with it….and the states were fine with it. Sooooooo, everyone (EVERYONE) knew, that if you do this….THE VOTES WILL NOT COUNT….Those are facts. Now, and only now…some think the votes should be counted…The rules of the game were laid out before hand. Changing the rules during the game, is what’s truly unfair.
