Madfloridian's Journal - Florida Dem senator whines to the BBC....threatens DNC.."mutually assured destruction."

Here is the Florida Senate leader again speaking out in a way that is so embarrassing. He just keeps on making it worse every time he opens his mouth.

Steve Geller said Florida Democrats were in a state of "utter confusion"

Florida Quandary

Florida's Democrats argue that it was not their fault. They say that the law bringing the primary date forward was passed by a Republican-majority legislature.

Even if they had wanted to protest, they did not have enough votes. (FALSE ARGUMENT: they did not have to win, they just had to try.)

"Florida is one of the two biggest swing states in the country," an angry Steve Geller told me, in his law firm's offices in Fort Lauderdale.

"I have polling data which suggests that at least a quarter of Democrats will stay at home in the general election - or vote for the republican candidate - if their votes are not counted in the nominating process.

"We are being given the death penalty by the Democratic National Committee, which - I have to say - will mean mutually assured destruction."

Hey, Bill Nelson tried that, too. He said if Florida did not get their way they may not vote.

Steve Geller must not realize just how much the rules committee had his number or he would sit down and hush...and let things take their course.

The DNC members had handouts that included quotes by House Minority leader Dan Gelber brushing off Howard Dean, and the following transcript of Steve Geller making the motion to move the primary to Feb. 5:

Geller: "...So the Democratic leader and the Democratic leader pro tem are jointly making this motion, which we will duly show them later, that we tried not to have the election on, um, before (Feb. 5).
President: "And so Sen. Geller are you urging a negative vote or would you like us to pass this vote?"
Geller: "Oh no sir. We really, really want this. Don't we senator? (sarcasm and audible laughter in chamber).

He is the same Democratic who threatened a lawsuit against IA, NH, NV, and SC...calling them terrorist rogue states.

Senate Democratic Leader Steve Geller, who on Wednesday labeled Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada and South Carolina “terrorist, rogue states” for coercing Democratic presidential candidates not to campaign in Florida in advance of its Jan. 29 primary, on Thursday announced he will not be attending a Tallahassee fundraiser held by the head terrorist himself, Democratic chairman Howard Dean.

“He’s welcome in certain, small enclaves of the state,” Geller told the Q. “If you don’t have something nice to say about someone, you shouldn’t say anything at all. Therefore I will not go.”

Here is Steve wearing his "Size DOES Matter" button at the convention of Florida Democrats.

Florida Democrats need to stop whining, and they need to start letting us heal. I know of at least two county chairs who are having trouble finding help and volunteers.

I am willing to stop posting about this situation, if they will stop theatening and acting childish.
