Circling the Wagons and shooting at ourselves
Are we as Democrats really this stupid??? Why are we circling the wagons in order to shoot at ourselves??? Come on, in one of the most important elections, where Democrats actually have a chance to take back the White House, the DNC is ignoring one of the biggest states in the nation. Not only that, they are disenfranchising the democratic voters, basically ignoring the fights we have put up for years. All of this because of the Republicans of the state of Florida moved the primary up a week. Give me a break. Why are we doing everything in our power to make Democrats look stupid, and trying to lose another election? In addition to not counting the votes of a Januray 29 primary, they made the candidates sign a pledge to not visit the state, and not run ads. This is f***ing insanity. We cannot afford 4 more years of Republican rule. We need to elect a democrat to the oval office. However, if we keep acting like this, the rest of America will think that if the Democrats cannot get along with themselves, how are they going to rebuild a nation? The DNC needs to get off their high horse of not allowing states to vote before Feb 5, understand it was the Republicans of the state that put this in place, and try for once to actually win an election without shooting ourselves in the foot. Please, stop being idiots!!!!!

If you will take the time to
If you will take the time to research this decision by the DNC, you will find that it was not just an arbitrary call. Delegates from all 50 States, including Florida, voted to establish the Primary Election schedule, and now Florida Democrats want to unilaterally change the Rules.
Who cares when Republicans hold their Primary? The DNC has been marginalized enough by the "centrist" traitors from the Democratic "Leadership" Council (DLC), and their "winner take all" support of Super Tuesday. This race to be "first" in the Primaries is not only childish, it further weakens what little organization is left in our Party.
If they really want to support the Democratic cause, Florida Democrats will stop thinking only of themselves, and abide by the wishes of the other 49 State Delegates. Have a glass of orange juice and chill out...
49 States have rules regarding elections...what the hell...
is so wrong with Florida that they want to change things around to suit themselves. Florida is the state that is incapable of holding honest elections. Now they want to gerrymander the time schedule.
Much of this scheme was developed by Bush-enabler Bill Nelson. Note all the attention he has attracted to himself.
Florida needs to get in step with the DNC, not make their way alone. If Florida gets it's way in this, then what is to stop other states from wanting primaries in Dec, Nov, or October?
Whining and screaming about how poor Florida is being treated is not gonna help your cause.
