It should not come as a shock to anyone that politicians make statements that are usually without exaggeration, full facts or sometimes having any truth attached. But today takes the cake for false statements. This morning, in an effort to get the Florida delegation counted and seated at the convention, Sen. Bill Nelson sat in [...]

Yesterday was an amazing experience at the Bastrop County Convention, Senatorial District 18 (SD18) and a great to be a democrat in Texas.

Hillary Clinton, who has been touting change and wanting to move in a different direction than Bush, seems to have a Bush affliction for breaking the rules. Clinton, who earlier in the year went against party rules by not requesting her name be removed from the Michigan ballot, now wants those stripped delegates back. [...]
