"There is hope. You'll find it with the Republican Party of Florida"
Oh, I do think I'm gonna puke...

GOP offer to Dems: Switch parties, make your vote count

State Republicans hope to gain from primary frustrations.

By ADAM C. SMITH, Times Political Editor
Published September 26, 2007

The Florida Republican Party is happily shining the spotlight on the turmoil and infighting among Florida and national Democrats over theJan. 29 presidential primary.

Their message?

If the Democrats running for president are going to boycott Florida's primary and the national party doesn't want to count the primary votes, come on over to the GOP.

"There is hope. You'll find it with the Republican Party of Florida," promises a mailer to an undisclosed number of Florida Democrats, with the registration form voters can use to switch party affiliation.

"Now - thanks to their egos and political infighting - you, as a Florida Democrat, may lose your right to vote. No delegates. No votes. Because of the Democrat rules, Democratic presidential candidates say they won't campaign in Florida - they'll only raise money here," says the mailer.

A Florida Republican Party mailer encourages Florida Democrats to join the GOP as a way to cope with the frustration over the national party's decision to punish the state for scheduling an early presidential primary.

4. This is hardly the time for them to try to recruit
The Republican Party is at a low, they are losing membership. They have proven once again they aren't too smart.
