If, as it appears, the party has a death wish, I have no intention of bravely going down with the ship that has refused to stand up for us time and time again and will change my registration to Independent and get on with my life once again. It won't be the happiest decision I've ever made in my life, but make it I must. <br/><br/>In the previous post you mentioned driving them away. Why? Why am I going to fight for a party that is unwilling to fight for me? It's obvious the PTB thinks we'll stick around and continue to back them. No. I want to send them the strongest message I can. They don't get my time, my money, or my vote. Screw'em. Dear gawd, I am sitting in Hawaii and our host has the teevee tuned to CNN. Could they be any more in tank for Obama?

The “news story” out of Canada conflating the Geller suit with the Dimaio suit was INCORRECT. I have contacted the author, and after confirming my factchecking, she has agreed to publish a correction. Bottom-line is the Geller suit filed a few days ago is still alive and well.

Gory, boring details:

The Dimaio case was thrown out on narrow technical grounds (Dimaio did not cast a ballot in the Primary and the court holds theie can’t be an injury if you didn’t vote) and leaves plenty of room for the Geller case. Especially since the Geller case is suing on a completely different legal theory than Dimaio.

Dean got the case tossed out of court. Why should he change by Friday?

Maybe the Democratic establishment suspects, or even somehow knows, that economic disaster is coming during the next administration

No. That’s too far fetched. And economics can be controlled to a certain extent. And can you stand another four years – and another estimated $4.5 trillion in debt – by those wizards? Not that Howard Coward has any clue about this of course.

This case being reported on is similar to a case that was thrown out earlier and IS NOT the case that was filed a few days ago.

Aha?

Darn it. I’m wrong. This is the Geller case that got thrown out.

v4hill will have to pay for her own dinner for that! ;)

Final question: who controls the courts there? If it’s the GOP it makes perfect sense.
