The vote...very lopsided

The Dem party here was supposed to add amendments to the bill, saying they were against moving the primary up, and that they fought it. But they got so tickled about it on the floors of the house and senate, they couldn't stop laughing.

Here is more on that.

Florida's Senator Geller joked about his amendment: "sarcasm and audible laughter in chamber"

And from the House side here:

Gelber admits they did not fight the GOP about the primary.

Then they were not truthful to the DNC committee. I guess they did not realize that the committee had the floor transcripts of how they went along.

It was a shameful time in Florida. The party knows, the media knows, and the legislators know. But they have lied so long about it being Dean's fault that they don't know how to stop lying.

Thanks for your post. I am very passionate about being lied to.
