Only Democrats are supressing Dem votes
One of the biggest whoppers out there right now is the lie the Democrats are promoting that the GOP is trying to “supress votes” in Michigan and Florida by not allowing those stats a “do-over” on the Democratic primary. So let’s break this down as simply as we can, once and for all. Maybe we should even put it on some promotional products, so that no one forgets again:
The Democratic Party was the party that decided to punish Democratic voters in Michigan and Florida by decertifying their primary results. Why were their results decertified? Because the Democratic Party in those two states decided to hold their primaries earlier than the national Democratic party wanted them to. When Florida and Michigan went full steam ahead with early primaries anyway, they knew the penalty from the Democratic Party would be that their delegates would not get seated at the national convention.
Not a single Republican involved in ANY of that.
The state of Michigan has a Democratic governor – Jennifer Granholm. The state of Florida has a Republican governor, Charlie Crist, but he has said he supports a “Florida re-do” if that’s what the Democrats want; so he’s not in the way at all.
The facts just don’t line up for blaming this mess on the GOP; this is a mess created by Democrats, solely and exclusively. And it is typical of their approach to problems; make rules and, when you don’t like the results, change them on the fly.
That’s why, no matter whether the Dems eventually settle on Hillary, Barack or some last-minute, back room deal Democrat as their party’s nominee, none of them ought to be trusted with the power of the presidency.

Just reading this over and you do have a point… who was it that said that if you’re a young Democrat you’re foolish and if you’re an old Republican you’re cold hearted (or something like it)… however, USB’s aren’t a bad idea for these people – it’ll be the EASIEST way to get things across to them [my company actually used iPromo.com and I have never seen the logo look sexier - good choice]!
Keep writing

Rachel,
I am aware of the quote you are talking about. The version I heard goes like this: “If you’re not a Democrat by the time you’re 20, you have no heart; if you’re not a Republican by the time you’re 40, you have no brains.”
Thanks for reading!
