Reply #5: In your Ring pillory, you've failed to mention what Ring sponsored died and was never voted on. [View All]

Perhaps by accident, perhaps on purpose?

The only Senate bill in 2007 to address the primary date and was never voted on:

And when Mr. Ring said "Right now it looks like Jan. 29 would be more favorable" the Democrats had no choice. Either go along, or go home. By an overwhelming majority, from 2006, the republicans had every intention of pushing through primary date changes without even one single vote from any democrat anywhere in Florida ever.

I have no problem nor personal interest in this Ring hate fest y'all insist on showing off ad nauseam. But just remember that as you continue on with this slamming of your straw man, you are not only showing off your total ignorance of the true problem in Florida, you are also contributing to the disinformation campaign that has been so successful in skewing the truth, helping others to not know the true facts that matter as well.

My only advise to you would be that you need to be kinder to your brain than this, truly.


Despite your blatant efforts to twist the truth, the true facts are recorded in history thusly:

On November 20, 2006 the new Florida Speaker of the House took office with a book called “100 Innovative Ideas for Florida’s Future” tucked under his arm, designed to be the republican's agenda for the upcoming session.

In the book, Idea number 37 was moving the state’s primary date

On Jan. 23, 2007 Rep. David Rivera (R-Miami) filed HB 537

...and thus began the abusive destruction of Florida's c. 1.7 million totally innocent Democrats that came out to vote on January 29th.

The problem we now face is where will this destruction end? By the 2008 General Election? By the next Floridian presidential preference primary in 2012? When the giant sucking sound of Floridian Democrats re-registering as Republicans has diminished the democratic rolls so badly there are zero elected state democrats? Where?
