My postings about the heartbreak of the Florida primary fiasco.

I thought I would put them in one post here, add them to my journal so they don't go front page. Then I have handy reference to them.

Enough of this. Florida Democrats now threaten Dean and the DNC with a "voting rights probe".

The "appropriate legal official" to "investigate" Dean and the DNC...is...Gonzales.

1. I sent these along to Jane Hampsher and Matt Stoller

Because I don't think Jane knew the involvement of Stoller in this and was pimping their Act Blue site saying we need a progressive challenger in some E Coast contest, Maryland I think.

Because the Fla Democratic Party is exhibiting the behavior you would see in moles out to disrupt.
Not that I'm implying they are. They just act like it.

2. Did you see my post about Stoller's post?

Matt Stoller's attack on Dean is using Florida party talking points.

BTW I am now considered a radical something or other because I questioned the local party about an email with advice on how to stop donations to the DNC.

What Florida did was unconscionable, and it was done on purpose.

Hubby and I will find it hard to forget. Too many of our local DFA went along for the ride for convenience. I don't do anything for convenience anymore.

3. Another post or two I forgot to add.
