For Democrats, Florida Primary May Not Count

Posted by kdawson on from the not-again dept.

be951 writes "Democratic party leaders are seriously considering making the Florida primary 'nonbinding', meaning they could ignore the actual vote by Florida democrats and allow party leaders to decide how Florida's more than 200 delegates are divided up among the candidates. 'I think it's much higher than 50-50 that we will make Jan. 29 a nonbinding' election, said Jon Ausman, a veteran Democratic organizer in Tallahassee and member of the Democratic National Committee. This is in response to Florida's move to an earlier presidential preference primary, which scrambled the primary calendar carefully worked out by the two national parties."

    ...that the Illuminati have already decided who they want to be the next US president, and they are worried about the sheep messing it up for them.

    If it wasn't for election cheating in Florida (and later in the Supreme Court), we wouldn't have had the slow-motion disaster that is the Bush II "administration".

    In light of this I say that Florida (and the Supreme Court) from now on never be allowed to participate in the election of the office of President, not at all, ever again.

    That's what you get when you have an ignorant, superstitious population that votes accordingly.
