California Super Delegate Wants $20 Million for His Vote

 The Democrat’s life theory is catching up with them. They believe in the idea that there are no winners and losers, as in children’s sporting events where there is no score kept because if a child loses he will be scarred for life. Instead of teaching a child that sometimes things don’t go your way the child is sheltered from any adversity and when as an adult adversity hits they have no idea how to handle it. This mindset has crept into more aspects of everyday life. In some schools teachers aren’t allowed to grade in red because red is a very traumatising color, they are using the less daunting purple pen to grade children.

 So you may be asking why I said that their life theory is catching up with them and I will now explain. It is this very theory of there can be no losers that has lead to the loser of a primary state still getting delegates. Sure a candidate was second winner, not a loser, so he/she deserves some delegate right? That is a perfect example of what this liberal mindset has produced.

 But there is another aspect, a dark aspect, that the Democrats nomination process has created the possibility of. This problem lies in the super delegates. Party insiders who are going to decide the Democrat nominee. It can never be good when party hacks can decide who should be their candidate and this shows us why. It opens up the door for corruption, backroom deals, and big money to be thrown around.

 Steven Ybarra, a Democrat super delegate from California, has not endorsed either candidate yet. And he isn’t going to either, until someone gives him $20 million for his endorsement. How is that for morals? This man doesn’t care about either candidates stance on any issues, he will sell his vote to whoever promises him $20 million first. He has promised that he can deliver over one million new Mexican-American voters for that $20 million bribe. All a candidate has to do is show the Mexicans how much he/she “cares” about them by delivering the bribe.

 Money has corrupted politics, and the Democrat primary system is not helping the problem. It is making it worse. How can a candidate promise to bring change to Washington if they are willing to bribe a super delegate for a vote? How can a candidate promise a more open and honest administration if they are willing to bribe a super delegate for a vote? How can a candidate be trusted to be fiscally responsible if they are willing to bribe a supre delegate for a vote?

 If a person is willing to do this for one vote, what will the same person do for many votes?

    I think you’re missing the point entirely, and willfully so.

    He’s not asking for the money for himself… it’s not a bribe. He’s wanting to see a substantive and tangible commitment from a candidate to fund a voter registration drive directed towards the Latino community, his constituency. He believes that it will be beneficial for his party’s chances of victory and his community.

    Wow, that could get expensive. A colleague of mine said just last nite, “why do we even f****** vote?” He was genuinely angry. I told him, they will take the popular vote under advisement. As for the above spin, it does not amtter who or what the money is for, a bribe is a bribe.

    I mentioned in my post what the money would be used for. As Deb said, it doesn’t matter what he uses the money for. If he requires money for his vote it is a bribe. Maybe it is extortion. Is that better?

    I believe they should get rid of this man whoever he is or whatever he does for it is unamerican or should be.
    This is what is wrong with our country today, as the middle class made more it cost more.
    I mean if we got a 10% increase, from the manager to the owner got 10% so your 10% of a hundred was 10 dollars but 10% of a thousand is a hundred.
    No matter what era we talk about it has always been this way and people such as Steven should be simply replaced.
