This wonderful video disappeared from You Tube for a while. Imagine my joy to see it back up now.
Steve Geller is the Florida Senate minority leader for the Democrats. He is the one who proposed an amendment about the primary...and then mocked it right out in the open.
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).
After all the efforts to convince people that Florida Demcrats went right along with the GOP since early 2006...there has been little success on my part.
The party spokesman in March 2006 said the Democrats were "all for it".
They voted for the early primary by the vote of 115 to 1. They are still in denial. They still claim they acted in in good faith..which was all they had to do to keep their delegates.
Yay Yay to whomever got this video back up. Thank you so much.
