Jeb Bush pal, state ethics violator John Thrasher, gunning to head Florida GOP

[seafan]

And guess who is the winner.


“Our enemy is the liberal media. And the Democrats,” Thrasher told the committee. “That is where we will begin to refocus our efforts.” ---New FL GOP Chairman John Thrasher, February 20, 2010




**Mission accomplished.**

The Florida Democratic party responded to state Sen. John Thrasher's election as the new state GOP chairman by calling him "ethically challenge(d):"

"Today, the Republican Party of Florida doubled down on the Republican culture of corruption in Tallahassee. Rather than electing someone to be the voice of Republican grassroots activists or clean up the RPOF mess, Republican insiders instead opted for ethics-lacking, big-spending John Thrasher, who has been convicted twice of breaking Florida ethics laws," said Eric Jotkoff, Florida Democratic Party spokesman. "Florida's Republican politicians might be celebrating, because they know Thrasher won't shut down their RPOF slush fund, but by rejecting their grassroots supporters, Floridians of all stripes see that Florida's Republican Party is open to only elite member of their smoky backroom club."
