(43,322 posts)that Florida Democrats get tossed into the dustbin of history instead of helping Florida Democrats win.
Did anyone here contribute to Charlie Crist against DeSantis?
Or to Maxwell Frost?
OR TO VAL DEMINGS, IMPEACHMENT MANAGER, for heaven's sake?
Easy for you to say "no, I will never forgive FL Democrats for the butterfly ballot and pregnant chads" when Democrats weren't in charge of ballot manufacturing.
With all your hate for those who counted, you fail to remember two major events that caused Democrats almost irreparable harm in Florida:
1. the Brooks Brothers riot, which included
Brad Blakeman, Republican strategist.[2]
Chuck Royal, legislative assistant to Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.)[15]
Duane Gibson, a Don Young aide on the House Resources Committee who worked for Ted Stevens, then became a lobbyist associated with Jack Abramoff[16]
Garry Malphrus, who became deputy director of the White House Domestic Policy Council during the Bush administration[14]
Joel Kaplan, who became a policy advisor in the Bush administration, and later Vice President of U.S. Public Policy for Facebook, Inc[17][18]
Kevin Smith, a former GOP House aide[14]
Layna McConkey Peltier, a former Senate and House aide[19]
Marjorie Strayer, an aide to New Mexico's Republican congresswoman, Heather Wilson.[7]
Matt Schlapp, a former Rep. Todd Tiahrt (R-KS) House aide, becoming the White House political director during the Bush administration,[14] and director of the American Conservative Union in 2014
Roger Morse, a former House aide who became a lobbyist
Roger Stone,[20] a self-described "GOP Hitman"[21] and former member of Nixon's Committee for the Re-Election of the President
Rory Cooper, a former staffer for the National Republican Congressional Committee and later the White House Homeland Security Council[14]
Steven Brophy, a former GOP Senate aide to Senators Fred Thompson, Bill Frist, and in 2003, Representative Marsha Blackburn, and later became V.P. at Dollar General[22]
Tom Pyle, a former Tom DeLay (R-Tex.) staffer who later worked for Koch Industries[14]
2. The landmark interference by SCOTUS in the Bush v Gore decision -- what they ruled in overruling the FL Supreme Court was unconstitutional
And here we are. The current SCOTUS failure to have ANY ethics. Nevermind an ethics office. ALL begun by John The Pirate Roberts in 2000.
Everyone who broadly condemns Florida can knock off the virtue signaling outrage suggested about Florida Democrats.
We're still fighting the good fight. Where is the DU support? HUH?
