GOP backer attacks Florida Dems work ethic for having babies while shes in office
http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2014/10/gop-backer-attacks-florida-dems-work-ethic-for-having-babies-while-shes-in-office/
A local race for Clerk of the Courts in Orlando, Florida turned ugly recently when a supporter for the Republican candidate called in to a radio show to lash out at the Democratic candidate for having babies in while she was in office.
During a heated appearance on the Tez Figaros radio show, Randy Ross argued that Republican Eddie Fernandez should continue to do the job that Gov. Rick Scott (R) appointed him to do following the death of former clerk Lydia Gardner.
Ross, a well-known local activist who works as PR director the Orlando Museum of Art, had supported Democratic candidate Tiffany Moore Russell in the primary, but he said that he would be supporting Fernandez going forward. And according to Orlando Weekly, Ross had been prominently featured on the Democrats for Eddie Fernandez Facebook page.
After 15 minutes of arguing about the race on Mondays radio show, Figaro tried to make sure that her support of Russell would be the last word on the matter. But Ross refused to let the debate end.
Well, you know, the reality is, the most of the time Tiffany Moore Russell was in office, she was having babies, Ross charged. You want to get to the real point? I mean, she hasnt really been that engaged.
Im just saying that the most of the time she was in office she was actually having babies, he continued. You dont want to go there. I like Tiffany Moore Russell. Ive embraced her on many occasions. But Im not sure we want to get into this.
You just made a comment that was very insulting to women, Figaro pointed out.
Im just exhausted by this already, Ross complained.

Deadeye Dick Cheney had while in office since you're so
concerned about getting the bang for the buck.
And the expense was all on the taxpayers. Total it all up and
it was a hell of a lot more than the cost of having a baby.
