Legalized bribery.

Legalized extortion.

The same holds true for both of the major political parties.

Burton is a joke. He's the guy who ripped off the state by overbilling for representing the house on the byrd computer deal.

I must say I've never seen the RPOF be so active in Fund raising and political influence since when Crist and Greer took over, Hell I didn't even know much about the State Party till then, you've got to give it to them for raising the bar!

someone tell us more about the Burton Byrd deal, do tell

let's hope Faye makes a beeline right for Burton's office!

Paul Harvill...

You are a joke. Especially to those of us who know you...

You couldn't get elected dog catcher in Leon County and, now, you're taking your act to the blog-o-sphere.

Keep on going, outer space is just beyond... Numb nuts....

just a little gathering for the [wealthy] people's governor!

Isn't Broad and Cassell the firm that paid Mel Martinez $400,000 in 2004, even though he did absolutely no legal work bc he was running for Senate that year?

Get off the blog Steve Mc

Convenient that it is on Tuesday in Tampa... wonder if Charlie will work Monday???

Dear Governor Crist,   I can't believe that selling the "alligator Alley" toll road is in the best interests of the State of Florida.  Selling that Highway to an independent organization that is owned by a domestic or foreign Company has to be a short sighted Political Ploy.  That toll road is a CASH COW that needs to be preserved for the residents of the State of Florida, not for some third party that will raise prices and have no interest in the welfare and best interests of the motoring public.  Stop this nonsense now.

Charlie Crist has betrayed everyone who supported him.

Steve, you've got it all wrong. For $5000 you should be able to get someone like Obama's campaign manager, not a real live politician.

$5,000? Well, I'm only $4,760 away from being able to afford it, after my $240 property tax reduction.

Jim and Charlie simply have to raise RPOF funds to pay for Jim's plane expenses!!!!! Jim Greer acts as if he is the mafia Don of Florida - hand selecting primary candidates and then backing up with RPOF money - to HECK with the voting public and grass roots.

I wonder if Rouson will be there. He likes to contribute to Republicans.

Can I still buy a candle?

Oh, his birthady is over. Oh well.

Thankfully I can have lunch and perhaps there will be cake for dessert.
