Fire-Keepers

So now the new whine seems to be that counting the Florida vote would disenfranchise the ones that did not vote. WTF?

Are you paying attention. Ok… here are some cold, hard facts.

Year - Dem votes - population - % Dem votes
2000 — 594,955 - 15,982,378 - 3.72%
2004 — 712,846 - 17,397,161 - 4.09%
2008 - 1,875,559 - 18,680,367 - 10.04%

2004 to 2008 7% increase in population
2004 to 2008 163% increase in Democratic voters

Getting it yet? Two and half times as many Florida Democrats voted this year as in 2004. Between 2004 and 2008 there was only 7% increase in FL population but a 163% increase in Democratic voters. Tell me again about these *millions* that did not vote.

Face it, the FL vote was fair and legal and more people than EVER before went out and voted. Jesus wept, how many more could there have been? Most of the relatively few that didn’t bother, and are whining about it now, likely wouldn’t have bother to vote in any case.

Next whine?
