Fla. Republicans Accuse Democrats
http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/D/DEMOCRATS_FLORIDA?SITE=FLTAM&SECTION=POLITICS&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Republicans accused Democrats of breaking political money laws in Florida through cozy arrangements among candidates, unions and outside fund-raising groups, an allegation a top Democrat said Thursday was absurd.

At issue is a lengthy handbook for Democratic volunteers and others working to persuade and turn out voters in the battleground state.

The document proposes that representatives of organized labor, trial lawyers and teachers join Democrats at a campaign "decision-making table," a plan that Republicans contend is illegal under the 2002 campaign finance law.

The plan revealed "illegal coordination resulting in excessive and prohibited contributions," said Jill Holtzman Vogel, chief counsel for the Republican National Committee.

1. Oh Boo Hoo.
Hey Repukes: Why don't you round up another of you Insta-Mobs of flown-in Hill staffers and see what they can do? It'll be a rumble, okay?

If not, GET OVER IT.

2. Oh puhlease.
If you had any idea how they do this kind of garbage on a local level. They filter/launder the money through real estate firms or a local crony might get money kicked back to them in plain daylight through a Commission meeting.

No one to turn to.

6. I heard the Democrats had a secret plan to steal the election
They're going to get more people to vote for them, and then claim that they won!

9. Just more Bushevik smoke screen to mask their Voter Registration Fraud
The mass disenfranchisement, vacation-home voting and all the other shit they have done that we haven;t caught on to.

And you can bet your ass there are at least a few variants we haven;t yet busted them on...
