As a taxpayer and resident of Florida, I find the behavior of the Democratic National Committee very disturbing. Once upon a time ago, a former first lady made the comment “a right wing conspiracy”. I really think the conspiracy is from the left.
Historically, the Democratic Party cost taxpayers more money over the last several election that some of their proposed social programs. And history is about to repeat itself.
In 2000, the cost of the recount because of allegations of bad votes in the Palm Beach area cost millions of dollars to only find out the results were correct in the first place. During this election period, the DNC made it clear, "every vote must count". To this day, it has.
Next we have Christine Jennings in the 13th District and her spending of taxpayer monies for a witch hunt that only found out that Vern Buchanan did in fact win. Yet Christine continues to accept the facts, she lost because the Democrats did not want a limo liberal with strong ties to banking.
Our Florida Legislature voted in 115 to 1 to move up the primary to reap the benefits of candidate monies from their coffers. This back fired and the DNC punished the people of Florida by taking away the delegates of their party. What happed to "every vote must count"?
Now the Democrats are caught between a rock and hard place and this was caused by the DNC. Screaming Howard Dean and team are going to cost the voters of Florida well over 18 million dollars in a special election. Regretfully, not only will it cost the Democrats of Florida but also the Republicans. We are seeing a shortfall and drastic cuts in Tallahassee because of tight budgets. Can we afford to pay for an election that already took place and needs to repeat because the poor decision of the DNC.
Does Dean and company think that there is an abundance of money to fix his mistake? Mr. Dean can pay for it with his millions, the same millions he made from investments on Wall Street. The same millions he made from supporting bad trade agreements costing America tens of thousands in jobs while he made tens of millions in profits.
Enough is enough America, do we need selfish, arrogant people such as Dean dictating what is and what he wants?
