Stay-At-Home Moms Revolt
WASHINGTON -- Hundreds of protesters gathered this morning outside the Marriott Wardman in Woodley Park, carrying signs that read: "I'm not half a voter" and "Count all the votes, or I'm for McCain."
While the RBC called the meeting to order, the protesters moved to a park space on Connecticut Ave. There, they formed a circular formation around the first speaker, Rep. Stephanie Tubbs Jones, who urged the crowd to "count every vote," before she rushed back to the hotel.
The Rev. Marcia Dyson, a Hillary Clinton supporter, reminded rally attendees that, "there were five bad boys" who violated the party's primary rules -- adding NH, IA and SC, despite their traditional early roles, to FL and MI. And then, referring to the latter two states, she said, but only "two were left in detention."
Dyson intoned: "Hell to the no."
But as if to remind FL and MI that they are not alone, and in an illustration of what one protester told me was what a "convention should look like," delegations from MD, WA, DE, PA, IL, CO, and other states held up their signs.
Meanwhile, lifelong Democrat and FL mother Amy Siskind gave one of the more impassioned speeches of the morning saying: "Howard Dean, I'm not your sweetie. You have betrayed us, and you will learn the new meaning of stay-at-home moms in November."

Such retards.
I watched Dr. Siskind's video and she is right. Great Job! We are not "sweeties" and we do matter. What happened in Florida and Michigan was a degradation to democracy in this country. If only one vote does not count or matter, then none of our votes count or matter.
