Scandal costs Allen political currency

State Rep. Bob Allen is still clinging to his political career, insisting the cops (and a jury last week) got it wrong about that sex solicitation charge. But the lifeblood of that future has already dried up.

Campaign finance records show the term-limited Merritt Island Republican has gotten just $100 since his July arrest, ending a steady accumulation of money in preparation for a state Senate bid in 2010.

Money or not, Allen will have a tough time holding onto the seat he currently holds. Top Republicans, including House Speaker Marco Rubio, want him to resign. Allen says he will appeal the conviction.

Bob, please go away. Yeah you are making it hard foir the republican party but more importantly you are helping to instill a distrust in voters of ALL elected officials, democrat or republican. If you want to fight it, fine, but leave office first. And before the partisan hacks jump on board, scandals happen to both parties.

I am not a perv, I will continue to serve.

They said I lied, but I ain't gonna hide

The cops got it wrong, I'll continue my innocence song

I will appeal, I'll accept no plea deal

You will see, I'll return with victory.

Bob, go to Alaska where the GOP are selling out the whole state. Your stuff wouldn't even get noticed there.

What political currency? He never had any.

Not true. He clearly had at least $20 in political currency.

Fight it Bob.

Appeal to the supreme court if necessary Bob. You don’t deserve this so fight it to the end.... I love it.

He have more money if he wasn't dropping $20 in every public bathroom in town!

That is so clever. The exclamation point really brings home the punch line. You might want to volunteer for Leno during the writers' strike.

I see his BFF's Hasner and Rubio are treating him like he is radioactive. Nice to know you can count on friends in a time of great need.

At least it's more clever than offering to blow a cop for twenty bucks in a public bathroom... aye?

It's most certainly more clever than vamping for a pervert on the blogs... aye?

What is even more clever is offering to pay to BJ a cop. Now that is clever.

Get Out!

"Get out" is to easy for this scumbag... THROW HIS SICK, PERVERTED A*S OUT!

Representative Allen has due process rights. I believe that he was set up. He said he was inspecting the park and I believe him. We need to give him a chance to clear his name through the appeals process.

Hey what about Nancy Riley word is out that she got caught having an affair with John Morroni which is odd cause she is a girl but we hear that he is mounting a run for property appraiser

He's a good representative of the Republican Party. Good luck with that Senate race.

Now if we can get Foley to run again...

This just in: Breaking news!!

My poop smells.

8:53, or should we say Bob Allen. Quit defending yourself on this blog. You should be helping your lawyers with the appeal.

Bob Allen, Larry Craig and anyone else in public office who is a sexual degenerate...in the words of the great Dr. Seuss...

WILL YOU PLEASE GO NOW???

The time has come. The time is now. Just go. Go. GO! I don't care how.

You can go on stilts. You can go by fish. You can go in a Crunk-Car if you wish.

JUST GO NOW!!!

Bobby - your groping and begging to bring sexual favors to another man in the public TOLIET is what has lost you any respect. You are disgusting.

Now that Bob is just about gone, who's gonna get the hookers for the state conventions?

Well, I don't know who's going to get the male hookers, but there are still plenty of straight pervs left to set up the female ones.

I’ll volunteer myself to handle all the female hotties! Someone’s got to do it… so, what’s that… one?

[Bubbamark]

Die Fatman Die!!!!!!!

I think Bob Allen is hot!… then again… buuulalalalalelelccchkkkpst…

[R. Mills]

Allen, is a disgusting immoral human being and a hypocrite.
cruising for sex in public places is done every day of every second by heterosexuals.

Throw him out for being a lying hypocrite not for looking for sex like any other person does in a bar in a park at work in a coffee shop at the store.

Good point, 2:13… fry Bundy for the kind of knife he used… not for actually using it… D.D.Deeeeeee!

"clinging to his political career"
Huh? What political career?

[politicalspectator]

Lookin' fo' love in all the wrong places...

“Tap-three-times, on my wingtips if you want me…. Twice on the stall, if the $20’s a go!”

Lick those charges Bob.

He should have been more concerned with his dignity than his notion to protect what he thinks he had in political currency.
