WASHINGTON | The Democratic National Committee voted Saturday to refuse to seat any Florida Democrat at the 2008 presidential convention if the state party did not delay its primary.

The committee gave Florida Democrats 30 days to propose a primary date that conformed with Democratic rules prohibiting all but four states from holding their primaries or caucuses before Feb. 5.

The disenfranchisement of MILLIONS of Florida Voters by the Democratic Party is the BIGGEST non-War story since the 2000 Democrat Coup Attempt, and it's being UTTERLY ignored by the MSM, and BURIED by those forced to report it!

NOTHING must be allowed to interfere with Hillary!!'s acendency.

The Democrats have spent MILLIONS moving the early primaries to Machine-Controlled states where Hillary!! could build an image of inevitablity, without having to "Run Left" to appease the leftist baseand Florida now threatens that plan.

And, the very same people who were screaming "COUNT EVERY VOTE", are ignooring this blatant attempt to steal the rights of MILLIONS....

I bet there are a lot of angry FL voters that may be turned off to the RAT party over this. This is so typical of the DC RATS. They will push, bribe or intimidate people to force them to do what they want. I love it when they shoot themselves in the foot. :o)

I’ve been wondering what’s going on. Is that the problem? They don’t think Hillary would have won in FL?

The Democrat Wonk Establishment has been planning this for MANY YEARS.

This the GREAT PAYDAY for them, and a lot of Mansion Payments and Private Jet fuel purchases are depending on the skim from her campaign...

Count Every Vote??? Democrats are telling floridians YOU DON’T NEED NO STINKIN’ VOTE if it gets in Hillary!!’s way...

Well,.. Florida Democratic Party Supporters, first you allowed, perhaps even encouraged, the DNC “leaders” to disenfranchise military absentee ballot voters in the ‘00 and ‘04 elections; then with that "taste of victory" they now disenfranchise you. Tell me again; Exactly why it is that you continue support the DNC?

I actually read this and thought Dean did the first mature thing in two years and it isn’t the worst thing if Republicans do the same thing.

The issue I read out of this is the states are all getting into the contest of becoming more relevant by having earlier and earlier primaries.
This IMO favors the flashy candidate that spends early and gets out there first.
I don’t think the earlier primaries serve either the Democrats or Republicans. The earlier and earlier primaries least favor the voters in the end IMO. I hate Dean, but this was an actual adult, mature, responsible move....SHOCKING!

You should see the abc news report on this! In part,

“In 2000, the election between Republican George W. Bush and Democrat Al Gore was held up for a recount in Florida. The Supreme Court stopped the recount, and Bush won the state by 537 votes.”

Democrat Party is dictated from the top down. The people that vote in that party better learn their place.
They are there to vote when told to. Nothing else. Their money isn’t even needed as Soros, the unions and special groups will kick in the funds needed to proceed to world socialist monolith destination.
Can’t those Florida guys understand that they exist for the party, not the reverse.

This to insure that Hillary gets the nomination with or without Florida. If she does well in the Florida Primary, then they will reverse this decision, if she doesn’t do well, then their votes won’t matter.

Clever isn’t she?

Yes, but doesn’t that depend on the “R”’s also making their delegate votes void?
