Why would a man file a lawsuit against the DNC he doesn't even find credible?

The atmosphere is so toxic in Florida toward the chairman of the party. The state is being used as a wedge to get Hillary Clinton to the convention. Yes, I know McAuliffe said last week that it would be over mid June, but that is not what others are saying.

This has become typical of the circus surrounding Florida's delegates. It is like a joke gone bad, but none of the characters seem to realize they are tanking in credibility.

Victor DiMaio has filed yet another lawsuit against the DNC, this time claiming the group is prejudiced against white people in Florida.

Creative Loafing covers DiMaio's views and those of his lawyer, the chairman of the Democrats in the Tampa area.

DiMaio Lawsuit, Round 2



See, he says they are suing even though they are on the other side of the issue. Why would they do that? Where is the money coming from? Lawsuits cost money.



Here is more on the topic. They are really deadly serious.

Suing DNC for discriminating against white people in FL, using Rule 11 to get to the Supreme Court



They don't believe in their lawsuit. But they are going ahead with it.

I do believe my state will be used to get Hillary to the convention, it is a way to get her there.

I don't think I have ever seen a party chairman attacked not only by Clinton surrogates, not only by her major donors

BUT

but by Hillary Clinton herself in a major Florida paper.



She says Obama does not want Florida's votes to count. She kept on in the interview.



Just not true. The states refused the revote. The DNC offered it, the states said no.

A lawsuit that those bringing it don't believe in. Continued attacks on the party's chairman from the campaign. I don't believe I have ever seen this kind of intimidation toward a DNC chairman before. Boggles the mind...so many scenarios, so little time.

These folks want to be players. They come in all flavors.

Another example is Bill Nelson threatening blood on the floor at convention.

"In an interview with WPTV news Senator Bill Nelson says Florida folks do not react well to having their votes taken away. He says the National Democratic party just does not understand. He says he tried to "settle this thing" nine months ago. He said Howard Dean and the rest of the committee (he thinks there are only about 300 of them) did not want to sit down and work it out".

"Senator Nelson discussed a possible solution for the democratic delegate issue – and voiced concern that if something wasn’t done soon to reach a compromise there could be “blood on the floor” in Denver during this year’s Democratic Convention."

It is called threatening the coach, or Bribing the Referee

To be a huge dick.

would not be good for democrats anyway. After all, it was Florida.......

I'm just sayin'....

The Secretary of State is appointed by the governor, with no oversight from the legislature.

is that this was all precipitated by the DLC - it's a powerplay, nothing more or less. The corporate wing has had it in for Dean ever since he replaced McAuliffe and they set up this whole thing to discredit him.

are too wimpy to go after their GOP legislature.

and the backdoor way in which Clinton is trying to use those two states will cause more than problems with those two states. If she gets that nomination based on those two states, there will be a mass exodus from this party and a lingering feeling of being dictated to by Florida and Michigan and Hillary Clinton that will be a pill never swallowed.

Florida's failure. They did not act "in good faith".

"In the event a state shall become subject to subsections (1), (2) or (3) of section C. of this rule as a result of state law but the DNC Rules and Bylaws Committee, after an investigation, including hearings if necessary, determines the state party and the other relevant Democratic party leaders and elected officials took all provable, positive steps and acted in good faith to achieve legislative changes to bring the state law into compliance with the pertinent provisions of these rules and determines that the state party and the other relevant Democratic party leaders and elected officials took all provable, positive steps and acted in good faith in attempting to prevent legislative changes which resulted in state law that fails to comply with the pertinent provisions of these rules, the DNC Rules and Bylaws Committee may determine that all or a portion of the state’s delegation shall not be reduced. The state party shall have the burden of proving by clear and convincing evidence that it and the other relevant Democratic party leaders and elected officials took all provable, positive steps and acted in good faith to achieve legislative changes...."

Voting 115 to 1 is not showing good faith.

I say collaborators.

Now about that cheeseburger.

KNOWINGLY voted with the Republicans to move the election up , with the exception of one guy.
If the Dems had voted NO, they would have had half of their delegates count, as that is how it went down for the Republicans. Dean needs to CONSTANTLY and loudly remind Florida voters of this truth. Florida voters need to vote these arrogant assholes who gambled with their votes out of office. These lawsuits are from the same corrupt jerks who voted to change the primary.

Just why is it that Florida is so corrupt??

And points out they agreed and voted for them.

They are trying to cost the DNC money fighting lawsuits, while big donors who support Hillary are attacking Dean publicly, threatening to get their money back.

It is a fight to the finish, and it is a corporate vs the people fight.

The activists had a choice to fund Dean's strategy, and they chose not to do so in the needed numbers.

That is why the big donors still have the power.

should form it's own party. That way they can make up their own damn rules as they see fit, and stop fucking with the National Party. Rogue state indeed.

And most of the most obnoxious are Hillary superdelegates like Wasserman Schultz, Bill Nelson, and Corinne Brown (I think Brown is a SD).

They are so angry, and they are not letting up.

good smack down. The leaders of the party in that state have done the voters of this party, both the Fl voters and Democratic voters nationwide, a great harm. Their hubris and incomprehensible behavior has caused this entire problem. I'm sure they did not know they would. They could not have known the vote would be this close, but that does not excuse their behavior.

Metaphorically speaking. Unlike some, I don't really want actual blood drawn.

Man, I thought the Republicans were dirty!
This shit is low even for the running to the right democratic crowd.
I find it ironic that they are defending the rights of white people when these same yahoos did nothing when thousands of minority voters were disenfranchised in 2000, 2002, 2004,and 2006.
These guys make the politicians here in KY seem positively gentlemanly in their efforts to screw everyone around them.
