State of the Absurd

Well, Florida has done it again. We have manage to make a mockery of ourselves in the political realm one more time. We just can't seem to get it right. It became apparent with the whole hanging chad and recount debacle of 2000, and every year since, our state has debated over and over again the method in which to best appeal to our overwhelming population of senile elderly voters, illegal immigrants, and uneducated rednecks. Yes, now the Florida Democratic Party has decided to bypass us Florida democrat voters entirely, by not allowing our opinions to count when it comes to selecting the democrat presidential nominee. While I guess the rest of the nation is simultaneously sighing in relief, us, Floridian Democrats are feeling a bit wronged. Amazingly, through no fault of our own this time. Florida's democratic committee decided to run our primary in January, breaking its agreement with the DNC not to do such a thing. Great idea that turned out to be! In an attempt to have an early influence on the rest of the primary season, instead we had a sham vote, surely not fully representative of our State since everyone knew the vote was not going to determine which candidate our DNC delegates were going to go to, since our DNC delegates are not to be seated at the convention.

So Florida's Democratic Committee announced earlier this week that a mail-in vote was going to replace the earlier sham vote. Yeah!

Then yesterday they announced there will be no revote by mail. Oh no!

I'm really beginning to believe this is a conspiracy of the utmost secrecy to eliminate Florida entirely from the whole Presidential voting process. You know, by making our votes non-binding by reason of incompetence. It's simple contract law. I believe there is a move by higher-ups to try and forfeit our rights similar to when someone is appointed power of attorney due to a person's incapability to take care of oneself. Our population of senior citizens has become so overwhelming that maybe they just decided it was easier to take away their rights en masse than wasting paper doing it individually. The rest of us are just collateral damage I guess.

Well, maybe they are right to do such a thing. And to heck with them anyway. Let the rest of them decide our nominee for president. And when the world comes tumbling down around us, just know that you will not be able to blame Florida this time.
