| Democrat Fratricide: Alcee Hastings will boycott convention in protest |
| 2008-06-01 |
| TalkLeft blog " . . . [O]n May 31, 2008, a group of elitist insiders of the DNC have effectively said that some of my ancestors’ progeny equal only 1/2 and that men and women in Florida who voted on January 29th are 1/2 also. For a Party which will crown its historic nominee on the 45th anniversary of Dr. King’s ‘I Have a Dream’ speech, the DNC’s decision today is tragically ironic. "As a matter of protest, I do not intend to attend the Democratic National Convention in Denver." |

| #4 I love this comment Punish Those Voters (5.00 / 1) (#105) by MO Blue on Sat May 31, 2008 at 10:34:22 PM EST They broke the rulz. Rules are more important than voters and more important than winning states in the GE. Stick to those rulz. Who needs those voters anyhow? |

| #3 Amazing. Here the donks are on the verge of gaining complete control..likely for the next decade or more...and then they start shootout. The trunks are getting a gift they absolutely do not deserve. |

| #2 Actually the constitution said that a slave counted as 3/5 of a white (for census purposes). SO the DNC has reduced the worth of all Floridians, but of course, Alcee only cares about the African Americans. |
