Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 Podcast.
We got a big time Operation Chaos report for you to lead off the program with today, ladies and gentlemen.
As another three hours of broadcast excellence is straight ahead.
Great to have you here.
As always, a thrill and a delight to share this time with you.
A telephone number if you want to be on the program today, 800-282-2882.
The email address is L Rushbow at EIBNet.com.
Nancy Pelosi may have violated McCain Feingold laws by appearing in that uh global warming commercial with Mr. Newt for Al Gore's scam.
Remember the kid, Dalton Hatfield, 11-year-old from Kentucky, sold his video games in his bike for 422 bucks to give to Mrs. Clinton for her campaign.
She kept the money.
It turns out West Virginia Democrats raised funds and reimbursed him with a brand new bike better than the one he sold and replaced his video games.
So the kid is out nothing after garnering lots of media attention.
And by the way, a group of researchers from Simon Fraser University says that global terrorism is on the decline despite previous data and public perceptions that suggest otherwise.
The university's human security report project says that fatalities from terrorist attacks around the world have in fact decreased by 40% since 2001.
Sturdley, what year did the war on terror begin?
War on terrorists right, he's right.
A war on terror began in 2001, and since 2001, fatalities from terrorist attacks around the world have decreased by forty percent.
This is huge news.
Uh this is this, you know.
This is uh uh you and you can contrast this with what's on uh on on uh Obama's web page.
America not safer since 9-11.
Senator Obama believes and asserted in the debate that America is less safe since 9-11, largely because the war in Iraq has fueled terrorism around the world.
What do you mean it's not acceptable?
I can talk about okay.
If I can't talk about Obama, then we're gonna have the official Obama criticizer, and we're gonna gin up the ri the if but I'm gonna talk about it.
I don't care that this stuff is supposedly unacceptable.
It's on his website.
I can read what's on his website.
War on terror has actually succeeded.
He says it has made things worse.
Just it's a tiny little story here, folks, from the Canadian press.
Tiny little story, however.
Uh it packs a powerful punch.
This would be great news for McCain.
Uh to use a dovetail right with his message.
Well, sorry.
Uh sorry.
Sorry.
Everybody's distancing themselves from President Bush.
So you can't use this.
Uh never mind, Senator McCain campaign.
Don't use this good news about terrorism deaths worldwide down 40%.
Uh, because you're distancing yourself from the Bush campaign hearing, so you can't do it.
All right, ladies and gentlemen.
Here is Jonathan Chate at the new Republican bl uh new republic blog.
Hillary Clinton's rhetoric today about counting the results in Florida and Michigan.
Simply incredible.
Her speech compares discounting the Florida and Michigan primaries to vote suppression and slavery.
It's worth repeating they supported this disenfranchisement.
Also at the Politico.com, the Ben Smith blog.
Hillary Clinton compared her effort to seat Florida and Michigan delegates to epic American struggles, including those to free the slaves, and win the right for uh the blacks to vote along with uh along with women.
I want to take you back to this program, May the 7th.
This is May 22nd.
We're gonna go back 15 days, it's a little over two weeks.
The drive-bys listening to Mrs. Clinton are apoplectic about what she's saying.
Operation Chaos claims another success.
Have three bites of me on this program from May 7th.
The Democrat Party is willing to disenfranchise voters of all stripes from two large states in order to end the chaos that is their party nomination process.
As I say, not since the passage of the voting rights act in 1965 have we witnessed such a large-scale effort to obstruct the vote.
The Democrat Party, up to its old tricks, the party of slavery, the party of segregation, the party of poll taxes, is now the party of disenfranchisement in Michigan and in Florida.
This stated by me.
You just heard it from May 7th.
Here's Mrs. Clinton yesterday in Boca Raton.
In each successive generation, this nation was blessed by men and women who refused to accept their assigned place as second-class citizens.
The abolitionists and all who fought to end slavery and ensure freedom came with the full rights of citizenship.
The tenacious women and a few brave men who gathered at the Seneca Falls Convention back in 1848 to demand the right to vote.
The men and women who knew their constitutional right to vote meant little when poll taxes and literacy tests, violence and intimidation made it impossible to exercise their right.
So they marched and protested, faced dogs and tear gas, knelt down on that bridge in Selma to pray and were beaten within an inch of their lives.
Wow, ladies and gentlemen, my advice offered here to the Clinton campaign on May 7th has finally been taken.
Here is more of me on May 7th, saying this about Mrs. Clinton.
Mrs. Clinton needs to demand counting the popular vote in Michigan and Florida.
She needs to demand this.
She then perhaps should do what liberals always do in the end and take the whole matter to court.
As for the votes in Michigan and Florida, I have a question.
Will the Democrat Party become the party of disenfranchisement?
Will it become the party that denies millions of people the right to participate in their own electoral process?
Will it become the party where some votes count more than others?
Will the Democrat Party become the party of backroom deals?
The Justice Department's civil rights division should investigate the Democrat Party's rules, and Mrs. Clinton should call for this.
Those rules disenfranchise millions of voters, including minority voters in Michigan and Florida, and the Democrats are very concerned about the minority vote, and there's a bunch of minorities in Florida and Michigan whose votes are not going to matter a hill of beans to the nomination process.
I also have a little aside for those of you women who are supporting Hillary Clinton.
In this process of backroom deals, you are about to get screwed.
A Democrat Party is aiming to make as many people, this is unintentional, unhappy and miserable as they can.
Yesterday in Boca Raton, Mrs. Clinton.
People have fought hard because they knew their vote was at stake, and so was their children's futures.
Because of those who have come before, Senator Obama and I, and so many of you have this precious right today.
Because of all that has been done, we are in this historic presidential election.
And I believe that both Senator Obama and myself have an obligation as potential Democratic nominees.
In fact, we all have an obligation as Democrats to carry on this legacy and ensure that in our nominating process, every voice is heard and every single vote is counted.
Yay!
And again we go back to me on this program, May the 7th.
I thought that we as a nation had put all this behind us.
Where is the civil rights division of the Justice Department?
Where are the House and Senate Judiciary Committees?
Why are there no investigations?
Why are there no demands for investigations?
The closest we've come to examining the undemocratic process of the nomination of the Democrat Party nominee is an episode of Boston Legal last week, in which the Democrat Party was sued over its rules.
The party won.
But it was the first exposure in mass media of the entirely undemocratic process.
I realize they're private group, private organization, they can set their rules up, but what's the name of the party?
Call themselves Democrats.
There is nothing democratic about their nomination process, as is evidenced now, not only by the existence of their superdelegates, the party hacks who'll be making this decision behind closed doors, smoke-filled rooms and so forth, then denying two states their right to be seated at the Democrat National Convention.
And again, we're not talking about small states.
We're talking about Florida and Michigan.
We're about to witness the most egregious assault on voting rights since the 1960s.
Howard Dean, as the chairman of the Democrat National Committee, Howard Dean is responsible for this.
Howard Dean is in charge of the process.
He is the George Wallace of our time.
Howard Dean standing in the way of counting the votes from Florida and Michigan.
Now remember these three sound bites you're hearing of me, these were all aimed at the Clinton campaign.
I was addressing the Clinton campaign and urging them not to sit down to stand up and fight to count Florida and Michigan to stop the disenfranchisement.
And going back and comparing it to poll taxes and the Democrat Party being the party of poll taxes.
And of course, the greatest violation of the voting rights act since 1965.
Mrs. Clinton, one more time from Boca Raton yesterday.
We believe the popular vote is the truest expression of your will.
We believe it today, just as we believed it back in 2000, when right here in Florida, you learned the hard way.
What happens when your votes aren't counted, and the candidate with fewer votes is declared the winner?
The lesson of 2000 here in Florida is crystal clear.
If any votes aren't counted, the will of the people isn't realized, and our democracy is diminished.
You didn't break a single rule, and you should not be punished for matters beyond your control.
Yes, yes, as the shouting count the votes, count the votes, count the votes.
So you see what happened here on May 7th.
I, El Rushbow, the commander-in-chief of U.S. Operation Chaos, suggested to the Clintons that they not give up Florida and Michigan, and that they attack this on the basis of disenfranchisement.
Not since the Voting Rights Act of 1965 have we seen this kind of denial of Democrat process to so many voting Americans, including minorities in Florida and Michigan.
And beginning early this week, the Clinton campaign followed my advice.
Earlier this week we had sound bites of Howard Wolfson, spokesman and the punk Terry McCaula, both using the word disenfranchisement to talk about what's happening here in Florida and Michigan.
Now the drive-by media is uh trying to ignore Hillary's argument here, but CNN's Gloria Borger picked up on it.
Last night on CNN's election center, the hostette Campbell Brown talked with Gloria Borger about all this.
And Campbell Brown said earlier today, Senator Clinton told AP she might take this Florida battle all the way to the floor of the convention.
She's started making counting votes in Florida and Michigan a civil rights issue.
She's talked about abolitionists and suffragettes and counting your vote, and that's what she worked for as a young student.
And so she's kind of made this an issue larger than Florida and Michigan.
And if she feels that the results of that May 31 meeting of the rules committee doesn't turn out the way she wants it, it's going to be hard for her to climb down off that tree.
Oh, this is just amazing.
This is frankly just amazing.
I'm waiting for the next round of reporters to accuse me of tampering with our precious electoral process.
And accuse me of altering the outcomes.
Here, here is Mrs. Clinton from Sunday, Bowling Green, Kentucky, uh talking and said this to the uh to the Washington Post.
The manifestation of some of the sexism that has gone on in this campaign is Somehow more respectable or at least more accepted.
And I think there should be equal rejection of the sexism and the racism when and if it ever raises its ugly head.
But it does seem as though the press at least is not as uh bothered by the incredible vitriol that has been engendered by his comments and reactions of people who are nothing but misogynists.
Nothing but misogynists.
And so also part of that monologue on May 7th, ladies and gentlemen, was an appeal to Mrs. Clinton and the women of the Democrat Party that they were going to get screwed as they politically, of course.
They're being shafted here, politically, of course, in uh in a number of ways and favored a young black guy with no experience, better looking guy.
Remember, I made an appeal to women.
It's all coming out.
They're using it now in their own ways.
But the premise of Operation Chaos to keep this going has been picked up by the Clinton campaign successfully.
Back in a second.
Oh, that's heartening.
Okay, let's go back to the Democrat Party nomination process here, shall we, ladies and gentlemen?
As I said back on May 7th, it has become clear to me, and I think to all the Democrats too, that the only way Obama can sail to victory here is by not counting votes.
Specifically the votes of Michigan and Florida.
Now, what does that say that the Democrat Party's nominee was only able to capture the prize because votes in two states were not counted.
Now, after having listened to Mrs. Clinton from yesterday in Boca Raton in Florida, I have to agree with her.
If Barack Obama becomes the Democrat nominee, and if he becomes the nominee without counting the vote in Florida and Michigan, I have to agree with Hillary that Obama's nomination will then be illegitimate.
If Obama becomes the Democrat nominee by virtue of fixing the vote, by refusing to accept the votes of the Democrats in Florida, by refusing to accept the votes of the Democrats in Michigan, then Obama is an illegitimate nominee for president.
Barack Obama on the verge of becoming the illegitimate nominee of the Democrat Party.
This is what they said after Florida 2000.
Bush was an illegitimate president.
And back then, by the way, people forget this.
Al Gore, who uh who has established the precedent now of litigating election results.
As I suggested yesterday, by the way, to Mrs. Clinton, you know, do what the Democrat Party is known for.
Sue.
Litigate.
If you don't get what you want after Florida and Michigan, litigate.
You can use the 14th Amendment of the Constitution, an equal protection clause.
And in your case, Mrs. Clinton, you'll be asking that all votes be counted.
Al Gore, in the Florida aftermath of 2000, was not asking for all votes to be recounted.
He only wanted the votes recounted in three counties.
All Democrat counties.
Miami Dade, Broward, and of course our very own, a home of the hanging Chad's Palm Beach County.
Mrs. Clinton could go Al Gore one better.
If necessary, litigate.
Fourteenth Amendment, equal protection clause, count all the votes.
And Mrs. Clinton said you need to get your spokesman out there, and you need to start using the word illlegitimate nominee.
You might not want to make that direct attack because you might want to say the party will have produced an illegitimate result.
Blame it on Dean.
Throw it back to the party.
Speak as a proud Democrat.
And you, as a proud Democrat, having served in the White House for two terms, blah, blah, blah.
You don't want a party to be accused or even in reality be a party of illegitimacy.
By virtue of not having counted all the votes.
Yeah, I know.
The rules were the rules for Florida and Michigan.
The Democrat Party has no rules, you tell them.
The Democrat Party has customs, and among them, every vote counts.
Having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have is an unpaid Hillary Clinton campaign consultant.
I'm unpaid, so they will not have to disclose me on their reporting forms.
Telephone number 800 282-2882 if you uh want to be on the program.
Look.
Uh it's real simple.
Obama is cruising to becoming an illegitimate nominee of the Democrat Party, because every vote will not have been counted.
Hillary's right.
He would be the illegitimate nominee.
I mean, look, this is the same party, ladies and gentlemen, that complains about voter IDs.
I mean, what a joke.
Voter IDs, now they're disenfranchising millions of voters, minority voters especially, because the state parties didn't bow to the DNC and Howard George Wallace Dean.
I mean, how can they nominate anybody if a guy can only win by having votes not count?
I mean, that that would that that that not only would taint Obama as illegitimate, it would it would it would destroy their entire ability to go back and use Florida 2000 as an attack against Republicans, and they can't, you Democrats cannot afford to give that up.
You gotta be able to use Florida 2000 for the rest of our political lives.
If you don't do this, if you allow votes not to be counted, if you purposely reject votes from Florida and Michigan, and you can never with credibility use Florida 2000 and talk about how votes didn't count, Supreme Court chose the president, Bush was illegitimate, because you are on the way to nominating Barack Obama as an illegitimate nominee for the presidency of yours of the United States from your party.
It is something else for you superdelegates to put in the hopper and think about.
JB in Miami as we start on the phones.
Great to have you on the program today, JB.
Good afternoon, Mr. Limbaugh.
I'm very upset that you're speaking in that manner, saying that uh this illegitimate candidate or this thing about not counting the votes.
You know that he was not on the ballot in Michigan.
Now, Florida, whatever they want to do with Florida, that's their problem with the Democrats.
But he was not on the ballot in Michigan.
How do you expect them to count the votes of Michigan?
You are giving wrong information to the people, and you're using your radio to do that.
This is not right.
Firmly reject your premise.
That was his choice.
Yes, because he abided by the rules, and she also agreed to the same rules, right?
There are no rules in the Democrat Party.
They're only traditions and customs.
But she agreed to the rules, correct?
Yes or no?
Yeah, and then she stayed on the ballot.
Because Mrs. Clinton's a fighter, and she is smart, and she'll hang in there for you people.
No, that's fight for Democrats.
Obama's one of these wusses who, if he doesn't have a teleprompter to know what the hell he's saying, and he's going to be rolled and caved by the Congress if he becomes elected president.
This is a this is a this a crucial moment here for the Democrat Party, J.B. It really is.
Man, I still think it's sad.
Well, it is sad.
When you don't when you don't count every vote, and you're from Miami.
You know what went on here in 2000.
Were you were you living in Florida in 2008?
Of course, of course.
But I'm an independent, so I I don't care about them the Democrats or Republicans.
But I just think it has to be fair.
Exactly.
And how is it fair if you don't count the votes from two states, JB?
You cannot count the votes in Michigan.
You can go ahead and count Florida.
They could do whatever they want with Florida.
They cannot count Michigan.
Okay, J.B. I'll play it along your line.
There have been proposals by Democrats in Michigan, Carr 11 among them, the ranking senator, to have a do-over, to have a revote.
Then they can go ahead and do that.
Uh uh, because Howard George Wallace Dean, who is the chairman of Democrat National Committee, rejected it.
No, we're not gonna have a revote.
We're not gonna do it.
No matter how you slice this, JB, the Democrat Party is on the verge of having somebody illegitimate as their nominee on the basis of purposely not counting votes.
Then it's the same if actually they do with Hillary.
If she becomes the nominee, it's gonna be the same situation.
How can it be illegitimate if you count all the votes?
You're counting votes from uh a state that the other candidate was not even on the ballot.
What kind of rule is that?
This is a rule they still have time to fix.
This is a bad rule, a mistaken rule, a rule that was written in conceit.
They still have time to fix this.
Then you should push on your radio to tell them to do it over.
Well, there's a number of various ways of providing influence.
Uh but the I'm telling them that they are producing an illegitimate candidate here.
Uh that might spur them to uh to to make those votes in in Michigan count however they have to do it if they have to do a revote.
But uh, you know, I I just I'm pointing out I'm not suggesting what they do because that's their business.
I'm merely pointing out to them the ramifications and results of what they have already done.
And what they are about to do, and that is not count those votes.
And that's I mean, that's that's not good for 'em.
I frankly personally ple I'm happy about it.
I'm happy that they're gonna establish for the whole country to see that they did willing to disfra disenfranchise their own party's voters, that they can't get their nominee unless certain states' votes don't count.
As a conservative, I'm happy to see that.
Well, I'm just warning.
I know you're having fun with this.
Well, of course it's fun.
I mean, the life is to be enjoyed.
You only get one of them, and we try to get the most out of it, regardless of the oil price.
Uh, and the price of corn.
We try to do that here and uh and and share uh our good fortune and our good moods and our good vibes.
Uh JB, I'm uh I'm glad uh glad you called.
Thanks very much.
Get this out of Butler, Missouri.
This is from our old buddies, Joe Farras, WorldNet Daily dot com.
A Missouri car dealership is triggering interest by offering customers free guns or free gasoline with any purchase of a car.
And despite the skyrocketing price of fuel, patrons are going for the guns.
Not the free gas.
We uh we're aware of the gasoline, a crime problem in America, states an ad on the website of Max Motors.
It goes on to note that it wants to be part of the solution and not part of the problem.
So from now until May 31st, get a free handgun or a gas card with every purchase at uh at this uh at this dealership.
Mark Muller is the dealership's owner.
What we're doing is giving everybody who buys a new or used vehicle a free handgun.
We got guns on display.
We can't actually give them a gun, so what we do is give them a coupon for a local gun dealer here in town so they can pick out any gun they want.
We recommend a semi-automatic.
This is a bitter clinger sale.
This is this is a sale for the bitter clingers.
Go with the bitter clingers from those one of those states in the middle.
The promotion goes to the end of the month.
It's caused a stir, really, among anti-gun rights activists who turned up at the dealership to protest.
Six people came by, a bunch of long hairs who think the sixties are still going on, and who this is the owner.
This is the owner of the dealership here.
Yeah, six people came by, a bunch of long hairs who think the sixties are still going on, obviously don't have jobs.
We all went out there with our cowboy hats on and told them we'd stomp them and they left.
John Alton, the owner of Alton Arms doesn't see any problem with the with the campaign.
Hey, I'm a federal firearms dealer.
We're registered with the federal government.
Any gun I sell requires a customer to fill out standard forms, do a background check on them, everything's cool.
The dealership has received threatening phone calls.
Somebody who said they were the ATF called and said need to shut down this promotion right now.
We're shutting you down.
I told them to bring their lawyers.
I don't know if the uh call was real or fake.
I don't see what the problem Is we have a right to bear arms in the Constitution.
The reason we have amendment numbers two is to protect amendment number one, says the owner.
When asked if Senator Barack Obama's recent comments about people clinging to guns and religion inspired the promotion, the owner of the dealership said, Yeah.
And my next promotion is to give away a free King James Bible to any Muslim that converts to Christianity.
Yes, one of these MTV one-hit wonder groups.
Dexies Midnight Runners, come on, Eileen.
Welcome back, Rush Limbaugh, the Excellence in Broadcasting Network, the Queen Bee Syndrome has reared its head once again in our nation's capital, where Nancy Pelosi, the Speaker of the House, who wants nothing to do with Mrs. Clinton leaving the Senate.
She wants Mrs. Clinton not on the ticket.
She doesn't want Mrs. Clinton as the nominee.
Last night on the news hour with Jim Lara, the fill-in anchor, Judy Woodruff, spoke to the Queen Bee, Nancy Pelosi.
Here's the question.
In fact, Senator Clinton said she's very much still in the fight.
She's emphasizing the fact that if you count those disputed votes in Michigan and Florida, she's ahead in the popular vote.
How delegates are selected is by a process.
And the person who has the most delegates becomes the nominee of the party.
It's not been about the popular vote.
And the so we can have an elementary discussion if you wish, but at the end of the day, someone will have the winning number of delegates.
Delegate vote is currency of the realm at the Democratic National Convention.
Thereby proving what I have been maintaining since May 7th, and that is those of you Democrats who voted in the primaries, you have just been told you are worth by Nancy Pelosi, the Speaker of the House.
Your votes don't count.
It's a delegate process.
And the delegate process, the delegate vote is the currency of the realm at the Democrat National Convention.
They are perfectly willing, in order, she is any way to keep Mrs. Clinton out of the White House in any way, shape, manner, or form, to disenfranchise Democrat voters.
This, and this is coming from the top of the Democrat Party.
Howard Dean, Howard George Wallace Dean, Nancy Pelosi.
I'm telling you, this is one of the greatest acts of disenfranchisement of voters since the voting rights act of 1965.
Mrs. Clinton is right to compare this to ancient suffrage battles and slavery, poll taxes and the like, even though I suggested she do it.
I nevertheless agree with her.
Here is more from Nancy Pelosi.
Judy Woodruff said, Senator Clinton and her supporters have indicated they think there's been sexism aimed at her on the part of the press, on the part of people who don't support her.
Have you seen this in the campaign?
Senator Clinton is bigger than all of that.
You know, she's a great leader in our country.
I've not been in her shoes in terms of running for president.
I don't know what her campaign has experienced.
And quite frankly, I don't watch that much television to compare and contrast who's handling the campaign one way or another.
But let's say let's reject sexism, let's reject racism, should that be part of these campaigns as well, and just say we want the best possible person, whoever that may be.
How much of a setback will it be for women in politics if she doesn't win?
I don't think it's a setback at all.
I think we have to look at how far women have come in this presidential election.
A woman is down to the wire and contention uh for the presidential nominee.
Did you hear that?
Did you hear that, ladies and gentlemen?
You women, the women for Hillary, did you hear that?
It's not a setback at all.
Look how close you got.
Why, this is groundbreaking, Nancy Pelosi says.
This is groundbreaking.
This is not a setback at all.
Now, you Clinton women, you people supporting Hillary know full well there's not another woman out there on the horizon to fulfill your dream of becoming president of the United States in your lifetime, and you've just heard a leading feminist in Washington say, hey, this is great.
This isn't a setback.
Misogy isn't a setback.
Sexism's not a setback.
Because Nancy Pelosi doesn't care about you women, she cares about herself.
She wants to be the most powerful woman in Washington.
She don't want Hillary Clinton anywhere near there.
This is even adding more weight to my charge that the Democrats are on the verge of choosing somebody ill legitimate to be their nominee.
While at the same time engineering a fraudulent nomination, their presidential candidate, the illegitimate Barack Obama winner by virtue of not counting the votes.
But we just saw in Fox.
The levee that they built in New Orleans after Katrina spent $22 million on it has sprung a leak.
It's more proof of global warming out there, ladies and gentlemen.
There are five states in the United States with winter storm warnings heading into the Memorial Day weekend.
They are Idaho, Montana, Utah, Colorado, and Wyoming.
More proof of global warming.
Winter hell.
People going hiking in Vermont over the weekend are going to run into snow as well.
It's just not a winter storm warning up there.
Snow in Vermont.
By the way, do you know which state in this country derives the vast majority of its power, uh, the greatest percentage of its power from nuclear than any other state?
Which state is it, Snarl?
What state in this country?
It's Vermont.
Vermont's I Green Vermont, environmentalist wacko Vermont.
Uh, exactly right.
Here it is.
Leads the nation in nuclear generated electricity.
73% of Vermont's electricity is generated by nuclear.
Next is South Carolina 51.2.
New Jersey at 50.7, Connecticut, 48.9, Illinois 47.8, New Hampshire 46.0.
All these Northeastern states except for Illinois, South Carolina, with a lot of nuclear providing their electricity, and this is the home of all these leftist anti-capitalist people.
By the way, I see McCain having a big barbecue this weekend at his ranch in Sedona to interview or get to know potential vice presidential running mates, and I see crossing the aisle to talk with a couple of them, Mitt Romney and Bob Gendal, uh, well-known uh uh conservative Republicans.
McCain's gonna cross the aisle talk to those guys, along with um Charlie Chris, the governor of Florida, Casey in Russellville, Arkansas.
Welcome to the EIB network, sir.
Hey, I have a question.
I thought I was clear about what was going on with the voting in Florida.
Yeah.
Are you there?
Yeah, turn your radio down.
Okay, sir.
I was in my lunchroom with my kids.
Sorry.
Um, okay.
Hillary, didn't she send out a memo saying that she was going to abide by the rules?
Well, that was then.
That was that that was then.
Right.
So she thought she was going to benefit from something by doing that then.
So how can she go back now and demand that they be counted if she was all in agreement before to go by?
Because she's a Clinton, because she wants it, and because this is the Democrat Party where there aren't any rules.
There are only traditions and customs, and one of them is every vote does not count.
