Be careful what you wish for …
This weekend the Democratic National Party Rules and Bylaws committee meeting gave every American a glimpse into just what the next four years will look like if a Democrat succeeds in capturing the presidency this November. Once again the Dems are proving that in their world rules don’t count.

America voted for change in 2006, and we sure got change. But if you keep score like Democrats do, i
