Dem ethics in Florida

What ethics?

Collecting money from the party faithful and turning it over to a hack who lobbies for Republican projects.

You'd think this would be front-page stuff in all the papers.

Again - nice work!

Recruiting Volunteers for the Democrats

The last person I attempted to recruit for the Democratic party had a question: Will the Republicans pay me thirty-five hundred a month to canvass for Democrats?

It is obvious that the conflict of interest here is egregious. And now I learn that Karen T is recruiting primary opponents to run against Democrats who boot strapped themselves up to run against Republicans in the last cycle. Great, we already have candidates, and Thurman tries to shoot them down. I guess she doesn't want officeholders who think taking money from Republicans is a disgrace.

Most Democrats are too scared to comment? I couldn't live with myself if I didn't. Bluntly, the Republicans are responsible for the thousands of deaths in Iraq, and their money is dirty.
