And now back to our original broadcast

So it’s been a while since I did a post relating to politics and since this blog is for a grade in a Political Science class my inner gut tells me that doing a politics post is a good idea. So today I am covering the complete alienation of the state of Florida.

Florida has often been referred to as the wang of America, and the treatment given to it by the two major campaigns must mean that our country has one hell of a venereal disease (I think its Bond 17) or desperately wants a sex change.

The first abuse that I am going to broach deals with the Democratic Party (gasp! I know going against my own party, what the hell!, I thought I was completely partisan.) So a while back the Democratic Party decided to punish the voters of Michigan and Florida by stripping them of all their delegates to the Democratic National Convention because their state legislators moved their primary forward in direct violation of the DNC rules. Now this also moved the Republican primary forward too in violation of the RNC rules, but the Republicans decided to only remove half of the delegates, which is still retarded but less so than the Democrats IN THIS ONE INSTANCE. So this gave the Republicans plenty of fodder in the fall for the election in two very critical swing states with an ad that will probably say "the Democrat Party disenfranchamized you."

Well a recent development in the McCain campaign has at least evened the floor for the Democrats in Florida: offshore drilling. Now offshore drilling has long been opposed by both parties in Florida (see this story by NPR) but when George Bush came out with support for offshore drilling, McCain came out for it after opposition to it, and the Governor of Florida Charlie Crist came out for it after opposition to it, apparently trying to go after the bucket of piss that is the Vice Presidential Office. So now this should help Obama with a potential argument over how he listens to the people of Florida instead of simply toeing the party line and how McCain is simply bringing in the third Bush term. It also helps that this happened a few months after the whole disenfranchisement thingy since Americans (myself included) don't like to remember things for that long, because we must move forward, not backward, upward not forward, and always twirling, twirling, twirling towards freedom!

And for your consideration:
