If you want to understand the problem with liberals and their surrogate party (the Democratic Party) you have to realize that they don’t see people as people, just as numbers. Think I’m joking? Consider:
WASHINGTON – Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton’s half delegate has a new friend “” one of equal stature no less.The Democrats Abroad, a group sanctioned by the national party, has confounded delegate counters, graphic artists and political journalists since it awarded Clinton 1.5 delegates from its global primary last week. How do you explain that Clinton has 1,276.5 delegates?
Explain no more. Clinton picked up a half superdelegate on Wednesday, increasing her overall total to 1,277.
The anomaly happened because the Democrats Abroad will send 22 delegates to the Democratic National Convention, each with a half vote. The system is designed to enable the group to send more people to the convention, without inflating its voting power.
When you treat people not as people, but as numbers that can be manipulated for whatever reason you want, this sort of thinking makes sense to those that promote it. Maybe this will be the way the Democrats will solve the coming entitlement crisis too. They will just start counting everyone on Medicare, Social Security, Medicaid, etc. as half a person. Then they can pay them half the benefits.
