(8,846 posts)The FDP Chair is a former ChoicePoint employee and lobbyist. The company that generated the 80% inaccurate 2000 voter purge list, that gave Floriduh to George W. Bush (yeah, I know, Nader Nader Nader). Her husband worked under Ted Cruz in the Bush v Gore case....on the Bush side. Now he's working with the utility monopolies to defeat a major solar power initiative next year. She was hand-picked for the job by DINO, and C-Street Family cult member Bill Nelson and Debbie Weaselman-Schlitz.
Weaselman-Schlitz is well known for endorsing Republicans, and refusing to support, and even actually undermining progressives.
In 2006, I was co-managing a congressional race and after we beat the DCCC's preferred candidate by 12 points in a 3-way primary, some of our donors were calling to tell us that the DCCC was calling them and telling them to stop donating to our campaign. Weaselman-Schlitz endorsed "her friend" the Republican, in the general.
After Nelson refused to join a proposed filibuster of Sam Alito's nomination, I filed to run against him, just to fuck with his head. The then Party Chair sent her incompetent lap dog (now a state party Vice-Chair) to order me out of the race. My response was 2 words.
