2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Who ARE you people??? [View all]SoFlaJet
(7,767 posts)75. I came here right after the 2000 "election"
when I became one of the tens of thousands of Floridians who was purged off the rolls by Jeb Bush's GOP operatives. I have been here ever since. My screen name back then was something like Oustthennow or Oust'EmNow. Some of you oldtimers might remember me as the guy who got the hot tip about Rush Limbaugh and outed him for being a junkie, since my bass player was his personal chef at the time. I think my thread went like this: Rush Limbaugh Is A Big Fat Junkie LOL
