Thank You, You Jerks
I would like to personally thank Kos and Corrente for taking the time to ensure as many people as possible get to see the propaganda videos of the Republican Party of Florida. Without your help they might actually have to care about the fact that there were more voters registered as Democrats than Republicans in the state.
It is so thoughtful that you choose to highlight the Republican selection, rather than the selection of the Democratic Party, the audio of what happened to Dan Gelber when he tried to introduce the change in the Florida house. But then the Democratic audio clips includes the Republican asides and laughter, while the Republicans have thoughtfully removed those distractions from their clip.
But thanks to this continuing effort to hide the voter suppression efforts of the Republicans, DNC, and Obama campaign, it is highly likely that the difference in registration won’t last beyond this election cycle. I realize that discovering the truth is too difficult to do, and it might not agree with your prejudices, so spreading propaganda and misinformation is much easier.
I’m sure the people of United States will thank you for your efforts when John McCain is elected President because the Democrats made no effort to win in Florida. It’s easier to make snide and insulting comments about the people of a Southern state than working on any problem.
[Yes, this is sarcasm. Yes, I am extremely angry about it. Unfortunately, that doesn’t make it less true.]

…it’s passably odd, when a body actually thinks about it for a minute, that there is all this talk about how the brutally vicious behaviour of the Democratic candidates (primarily, according to “The Wise Observations Of The Knowing”, Hillary Clinton) threaten to bring all of our hopes and dreams of recapturing the White House crashing down around our heads because of sectarian infighting. The activities most damaging to the eventual nominee’s chances in November don’t seem to be coming from the candidates or their campaigns, but rather seem to be a product of the actions of self-important third parties, ‘fanboys’, and supposedly ‘independent’ observers who have picked sides…
Ol’ Will was more right than he suspected when he said that he wasn’t a member of any organized political party…
I have never read so much written about the manufactured outrage of the day, and the bile being spewed, while real problems aren’t getting talked about, much less, solved.
Well, Oregon gets a say this year, along with a lot of other states that never mattered before, and that is a good thing and the best way of solving the problem of front-loading the primary season. If the votes have meaning, no matter when they are cast, there’s no reason to go first.
If this had been handled in a more adult fashion, it would have helped to build the Democratic Party and energized people to vote, but that’s not the way it will turn out.
The Florida Republicans have a lot of nasty amendments scheduled for the November ballot and people need to vote against them, but, alas, that is unlikely to happen.
