Just When IS A Democrat REALLY A Democrat In Florida When The "Repubs Are Clearly...

[DaLittle Kitty]

IN CHARGE OF THE DEMOCRATIC Party in Florida that Iced Mr Russell from the outset in the 2006 General Election For Florida's 5th Congressional District... It's Karen Thurman putting up a primary opponent in last place finisher Rick Penberthy in 2004 and 2006... Rob Whittel from Coral Gables and Delray Beach in 2004... A guy (Whittel) who was a Republican who had NEVER before in his ENTIRE LIFE CAST A VOTE IN ANY ELECTION who WAS GOING TO RUN FOR CONGRESS IN DISTRICT 5... as a democrat???

Adding to the "entertainment," Whittel actually filed to run as a Democrat while still registered ... AS A REPUBLICAN... and Thurman gave Whittel $2,000 in the General as Whittel physically abandoned the race following his win in the 2004 primary among four unknowns with Russell finishing a close second... Thurman was behind that one too... Just to block anyone from effectively challenging for HER OLD SEAT! just to prevent Russell from securing the funding necessary to win...

Is (Thurman) who takes $3,500 a month from former Florida Republican Party Chair Al Cardenas... planning to run again in District 5? Or one of her incompetent flunkies?

Try fund raising when you have a primary... First question from prospective donors when you make "the call" is... Do you have a Primary? Next response is good luck.. Thanks for running... And try as mentioned above the Rahm Emmanuel/Debbie Wasserman-Schultz/Karen Thurman dance... To Protect a good solid AIPAC vote like Ginny to keep the likes of a balanced and fair approach to such issues that a straight shooting would be U.S. Rep like Russell would provide... the DCCC/DLC'ers will do ANYTHING to prevent candidates like John Russell from getting within smelling distance of Washington...

That's the problem...These bought and paid for Klowns MUST be EXPOSED for what they are... Lord knows the DCCC would never want someone who is smart and asks pointed questions like Russell does, anywhere near Congress... Remember the Congress is run by Corporate America.. In return for directing funding to their campaign coffers... The entrenched and the soon to be entrenched so-called "legislators" do as they are instructed... in return for that "Mean Green$!" John Russel on the other hand would spit in their eye!

Check out John Russell's campaign web site... His policy positions are detailed and forward thinking on Energy, Immigration, Health Care, Veterans Issues, Iraq... You name it... www.johnrussellforcongress.com

Rep. Wasserman -Schultz was quoted NOT once but TWICE in 2006 in the St. Petersburg Times in May and October... Just before the General Election effusively lauding John Russell's Republican opponent... incumbent, Ginny Brown-Waite as "An independent voice in Congress... and Having a Steeled backbone... " NONSENSE!

What political Party is Debbie Wasserman Schultz a member of? Much less a sitting democratic (small type for emphasis) U.S. Representative... AND SHE'S ADVOCATING FOR A REPUBLICAN ONLY A COUPLE OF WEEKS BEFORE THE GENERAL ELECTION against another member of HER OWN PARTY... w/ the audacity, guts and intellect to challenge this idiot... Brown-Waite who insults Muslims Latins and other constituents alike publicly and is proud of it...????

:bounce: Just WHO IS THE TRUE DEMOCRAT HERE... Wasserman Schultz or John Russell? I think that the Honest answer is clear... JOHN RUSSELL!!!:applause:

What a PIECE OF SHIT Wasserman Schultz is...!!!!!!!!!! These people like Emmanuel, and his flunkies... surrogate Wasserman-Schultz example #1, MUST be OUTED to the General Public and CENSURED as piss poor democrats... when they behave like this... Ask Bob Bowman over on the space coast... or quite few others... Then they fund piss poor Go Along Get Along democrats... many of whom w/ questionable backgrounds...

Look at the crook that "the Party has put up against Clint Curtis who campaigned hard and got 44% of the vote against Feeney in 2006? And... look at the the morons at the DCCC who are wining and dining Republican Max Linn to take out Progressive candidate Sam Simpson against long-timer Bill Young in Pinellas County ... It is PATHETIC... Max Linn is just playing...

The DLC/DCCC democrats would put up ANY Republican before they would support ANY True Progressive populist candidate who has a mind of his or her own and who will NOT just do as instructed just to be elected to congress... The DCCC IS ANTITHETICAL TO ELECTING DEMOCRATS TO CONGRESS... The facts speak loud enough for themselves!

The DCCC formula is to find go along get along candidates who are not too intelligent, and are intellectually and functionally dependent rather than independent and/or are completely incapable of thinking for themselves ... and/or will DO ANYTHING THIS SIDE OF (name something pathetic) to get the party behind them financially... So that they can tack the Congressman label on their resume... That's a good start for analysis of the pitiful nature of "integrity-free politics" otherwise known as "The $Money$ Party" ... and that's just our side... So which side are these people on... that "purport" to be Democrats?

Got to Stop The "Corporatist Democratic Party" elements...

1. I live in Florida and am just curious but

what does he do for a living? He's a nurse with a masters in business, and works at St. Joes. I'd like to know, what is his job title, where did he go to school, did he graduate with honors. These are important to me before I decide to donate to someones campaign.

[DaLittle Kitty]

5. Russell Has two Masters Degrees and is A Nurse Practitioner MS/ARNP/MBA/HCSM

MBA in Health Systems Management and is a Nationally Certified Acute Care Nurse Practitioner MS/ARNP. He contracts his services to various hospitals in their critical care units, Emergency, ICU/CCU and he also sees patients at homes and in facilities providing specialized wound care services. Someone you would want to be involved in designing and implementing a National Health Care Plan I would think... :eyes: :think:

[UALRBSofL]

21. DaLittle Kitty you have convinced me

Let me start by saying after the 2006 election cycle I wrote the DCCC and told them I would never support them ever again and to quit sending me emails. They let viable candidates in several states drowned before they would financially support them and I wrote them and said if I was going to support a candidate I'd support them directly.

I don't know the geographics of the 5th district like the percentage of dem/rep voters, the income of voters, the minority voters, etc. That said, if he has a chance to take that district now is the time. He needs to compare Bush to Brown-Waite by showing she voted with Bush because as you know his popularity is 19% and the fact she sounds like a typical republican party loyalist. Also, make an issue out of her non-support of SCHIP, her Homeland Security committee chair, her support of IWR, well, you know, anything Bush supports which has failed. Now, considering he's a nurse I fill confident he has a better insight into the needs of people needing healthcare. I see Brown-Waite discusses medicare and the prescription drug plans but she doesn't address the do-nut holes in it or the breakdown in medicare's disability plans and how it doesn't work, how it's cherry picked, or florida's broken Medicaid plans or the fact how many thousands of people have no insurance or under insured.

Now, considering the republican party as well as the FRP have low favorability ratings his chances are good, if he can get adequate funding. In 06 I was reading he had poor funding and Brown-Waite had very good funding. He needs money, he needs a large group of supporters to caucus your district, he need a collective phone bank. Now, I have a suggestion for him to get funding. He should look up the nurses in the state board of nursing, send out fliers to them pitching his plans as congressman and asking for donations. Believe me, nurses stick together. I don't know how his campaign is structured, if he has a campaign manager, etc. but that would help. That said, I wish him the best of luck and hope he can pull it together to get the win.

[DaLittle Kitty]

22. There Are Other Groups as well to "Court" Your Thoughts Are Incisive and Add to the Discussion!

:)

[DaLittle Kitty]

23. Ginny's Support is cracking... Watch.... $4.00 gas... That is going to hit home!

[UALRBSofL]

24. May I make a suggestion???

He needs a new web site or at least update it. I looked at it closely this morning and it's all about the 2005-2006 years. To be taken serious when people look at this aite it needs to be updated. The way it is now gives people the impression he isn't on top of things. That said, this is just some constructive criticism. :)

[DaLittle Kitty]

25. Russell Has NOT Filed Yet... He Has NOT Made A Final Decision...

Russell is watching as The situation developes... and if the situation looks ripe min the right ways he will consider all that is required... Do the people that complain about Ginny... REALLY want to do the heavy lifting that's required to WIN? Do the groups that are so called fed up w/ her poor representation and her absoluteely outrageous behavior care enough to summon their NATIONAL following/membership to get on board, contribute organizationally and financially what is required to DEFEAT THIS jackass? If they do then Russell will give it a run...

He is the ONLY SERIOUS AND HONEST STRAIGHT FORWARD candidate that we have in district 5... The other two are nice people but do not have the brains and tools to represent us. Any PArty "HACKS" that might try are just THAT "PARTY HACKS" who will do WHAT HTEY ARE TOLD TO DO... BY THE POWERS THAT BE... Is that what we need? Not IMHO! We need a Rep that will ask the questions that WE'D want to ask... were WE to have the opportunity... WE NEED A VOICE! and John Russell ... WOULD BE THAT VOICE!!!!!!! :applause: Let's hope he decides to RUN... :eyes:

Russell while he may need to update his website a bit, the problems have not changed and his solutions are essentially still correct and applicable ... Has health care gotten any better and has immigratcion been solved... The economy has been shredded... HAS THE WAR IN IRAQ BEEN STOPPED??????????????????? :eyes: :think:

RUSSELL WAS AGAINST THE INVASION OF IRAQ... PU B L I C LY!!! WAY BEFORE IT BEGAN... BEFORE OBAMA FER GAWD SAKE! :think:

His plans are better than most of what the top ticket people have... and Russell most importantly can be....

TRUSTED TO KEEP HIS WORD AND WILL NOT BACK DOWN AGAINST ANYONE! :applause:

John Russell has the campaign experience to deal with whatever the papers/media the repubs or Ginny.. want to throw at him... and Wasserman Schultz and Thurman having been "outed" will not want to be nailed again trying to undercut another Democrat... Russell IS DA MAN... if he decides to RUN...

Let's hope fer our sake that HE DOES! He would be a marvelous VOICE for THE PEOPLE in Washington! :bounce: :woohoo:

[UALRBSofL]

26. DaLittle Kitty, OK, that's what I was thinking

I called Thurman's office to speak to her about another issue and spoke to her assistant but brought up district 5 and mentioned now is the best time for a party change what with her racists remarks about the Cubam Latinos in addition to the party loyalists policies. So, I mentioned Russell and how the FDP should throw support behind him. I was told they were waiting because no one had thrown there hat in yet, nor had Russell. So, my feeling is someone might have a good chance this cycle.

[DaLittle Kitty]

27. Watch AS the Story Progresses.... Russell Is Evaluating The Dynamic. Do NOT Look For FDP Help!

The LAST thing Karen wants is RUSSELL to GO TO CONGRESS... As per above!

[tsuki]

32. Thurman can kiss my Big ass! nt

[Malikshah]

2. Par for the course in FL.. I've had many an argument w/ folks down here

who think I'm too harsh on the "Democratic Leadership" of this state...they defend the McBride decision and countless others.

It's disgusting. Completely disgusting.

[DaLittle Kitty]

7. These peope are PURPOSELY Inept... Giving us A Pitifully Weak Opposition Party for The Repubs to

mercilessly KNOCK Around as a foil! The FDP is A JOKE!

[Freddie Stubbs]

9. FL Democrats picked up two Congressional seats in 2006 as well as one

state constitutional office (CFO). Republicans lost another State House seat last week, which makes a net gain of nine seats for Democrats in the legislature in the last two years.

[Malikshah]

10. In the state that this country and this state is in-- that is not a good record

at all.

List the numbers in the state legislature...

Then follow the numbers on the supposed FDP leadership and their friends.

I still have not gotten the answer to the question as to whether the FDP leaders ask the Republicans to leave the money on the nightstand, or do they get the money up front first.

[DaLittle Kitty]

13. Yep The Dem Minority IS pathetic and about as Spineless, err "Bought" as Fish bait!

Only one had the spine to NOT vote w/ the Repubs... to allow yer vote to count in the Presidential Primary... These people are "PRETENDERS"... @best... Purely disgusting and incompetent at WERST! :puke:

[Freddie Stubbs]

15. This had been the largest increase of one party in the FL Legislature in a generation

[DaLittle Kitty]

19. Just goes To Show You How Pathetic We Are! Nice If You Like Repubs W/ dem HATS On!

When's the last time you saw a Repub endorse a Dem... while the Dems endorse Repubs... AL THE TIME! This should tell you someting if yer sharp enough too see it fer what IT IS?

[DaLittle Kitty]

29. The Democratic Party In Florida Is "Led"... By REPUBLICANS!

:puke:

[DaLittle Kitty]

17. Ask Thurman... She Gets The "$" UP FRONT... From Al Cardenas! $3,500/Month!

How pitiful is that... Anybody think that Al wouldn't call in his "chits" from Karen... But Al knows that he doesn't even have to call i his "chits"... Karen will do what Al wants instinctively! :puke:

[DaLittle Kitty]

11. The Guy That Got That Fl House Seat is A SOLID CONSERVATIVE!

Just "Holding The Line" until the Repubs are out of hot water... Another democratic imposter that are so common here in flordah!:think:

[Freddie Stubbs]

16. What do you expect from a conservative district?

Liberal Democrats get elected in liberal districts and conservative Democrats get elected in conservative districts.

[DaLittle Kitty]

18. This District (5) Only Slightly Leans in Republican Registration... Many Independents! You Are...

in your conclusions... It's the $money$ to get your message out that's lacking... and when Thurman /WassShultz Rahm emmanuel are cutting you off ... yer screwed!

[DaLittle Kitty]

28. Wow and W/ ALL The Republicrats in That Bunch It's Made A Huge Difference Hasn't it?

:puke:

[BOHICA06]

3. As a candidate, John Russell blows bilge water ...

....in a right leaning Congressional District, his resume is too light and his debating style is a looser. Thanks for playing, please try again!

[DaLittle Kitty]

4. In What Respect Is Russell's Resume Too Light?

Look at his issue positions... More detail by far than Barack Obama. Debating style? He smoked Ginny in EVERY public meeting and Oh BTW he DID DEFEAT the best the party could offer against him... Your opinion rings HOLLOW SIR! You sound like a Republican freeper... Perhaps you would rather have someone who backs down and away ever so easily... unlike Russell who adeptly and knowledgeably takes his opponents be they democrat or Republican unrelentingly to task!

[Freddie Stubbs]

8. Brown-Waite blew Russell out of the water in the General Election

60% to 40% qualifies as a landslide, especially in 2006, a year than wasn't very good for Republicans. One definition insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.

[DaLittle Kitty]

12. Did You Read About Wasserman Schultz and Thurman in the OP... and of Course...

when your supposedly own party hacks errr the above mentioned are working against you... Russell, Bowman, Curtis and Gonzalez and another guy in 8 and others from State House and Senate etc as well as others running for Congress...... then you know 40% ain't bad given it took GBW $750,000 to Russell's 35 grand to beat him w/ ALL THE PAPERS WRITING FALSE STORIES ABOUT HIM, TV stations sidestepping him.. and the papers writing BS about Russell. Breaking 40% is not bad....

For example Russell attacking Harvey Waite in front of 350 people in Citrus county... AFTER he just cleaned Ginny's "clock" in fromnt of those same 350 people... w/ only the republican chair of the Citrus repub committee as the sole witness... and NO CHARGES FILED but this Ly'n peice of crap story makes the paper... and BS political OP-ed cartoons... This IS Corporatism...

So who do you think is the "Steeled" opponent for Ginny this time? Who w/ a few serious alliances could take her out... The Vets are pissed! The Latinos .. ARE PISSED! The Muslim Doctors have had enough! Wait and see......... Maybe :eyes:

Russell is our ONLY experienced candidate were he to opt in again in 2008... and Russell ain't a BS'er... PURE STRAIGHT SHOOTER for regular people ... not like the rest of the so-called dems w/ a small d in this state! :)

[Freddie Stubbs]

14. Yes, I did read it.

And again I ask: Why do you believe that things will turn out differently this time?

[DaLittle Kitty]

20. Well You May See A seachange in Support base... Lots of Disgruntled People...

Let's see where the chips fall... But Russell will kick her ass if he has even a little funding to get his VERY STRONG message out! :kick:

[DaLittle Kitty]

30. Wasserman-Schlitz Got Outed Last Night In Citrus County!

:)

[DaLittle Kitty]

6. Also In a State Where Most Dem's Are Bought and Paid For By Republicans, Russell Stands Alone as...

a STRONG VOICE for working people. Russell knows what he's talking about unlike most of our currently elected officials... and un like MOST BS'ing democratic officials... Russell WILL NEVER BACK DOWN to the crooked establishment types like Thurman, Nelson, Brown-Waite, Wasserman-Schultz etc.!!!!!!!!!!!!! :bounce:

[tsuki]

31. DWS isn't backing Raul Martinez against Lincoln Diaz-Balart

because SHE is just such good friends with Lincoln, and SHE can't bring HERSELF to campaign against that neocon POS. (I'm still angry about the stunt he pulled at Rep. Lantos' memorial service.)

I thought that SHE was suppose to be working for her constituents, not her friends. Ah, The Boys in the Club Mentality...

[DaLittle Kitty]

33. Yes Lil Debbie Needs to Be OUSTEDand Put OUT To Pasture... DWSchlitz Is Snooping Around To Run...

Against MEL MARTINEZ! Mel Sucks but we can do a hell of a lot bettr than this neocon Democrat who is a worthless POS IMHO who actually works AGAINST GOOD SOLID DEMS ... WHO ARE STRAIGHT UP ... FOR THE PEOPLE... DEBBIE IS JUST OUT FOR HERSELF + IS IN CONTRIBUTING TO THE DOWNFALL OF THIS COUNTRY IN THE PROCESS! Should be a real Dem out of South Florida... NOT A republidem! :puke:

[tsuki]

38. I agree. And she is going to find herself isolated from the grassroots

soon. Word is getting out about her.

[DaLittle Kitty]

40. Yes Deby Wass-Schlitz Screwed ANY and ALL Progressive candidates in Fla. in 2006!

She is on notice in 2008 to stay the fuck outa these races or else... F***ing piece of shit!

[DaLittle Kitty]

42. nions Need to Get on Board w/ Russell and Other Progressives That Will Stand Up FOR The Rank&File!

Waasly weaselSchlitz will NOT Talk to you ... UNLESS YA GOT A $CHECK$ IN YER HAND FER HER! :puke:

[Mika]

34. She won't help campaign against Lincoln Diaz, Mario Diaz, or Ileana Ros.

She's friends with them PLUS she wants to be able to work with them after they get re-elected. :puke:

She said that yesterday on a local Miami news/talk show w/ Michael Putney.

[DaLittle Kitty]

35. Yes... Lil Debbiie IS An ESTABLISHMENT "$MONEY PARTY" POS!

:puke:

[tsuki]

37. That is total BS. You work for your party. Does she think that

Lincoln Dias Balart would campaign for the Thug against her?

[DaLittle Kitty]

39. That IS The Question... When has A Repub worked To ElecANY Dem?

short answer... NEVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and they NEVER WILL.... :think:

[DaLittle Kitty]

44. That IS THE Most Pertinent Question! When Has A RepUg "PUSHED" A Democrat? NEVER!

:)

[DaLittle Kitty]

43. Debbie IS A (sic) Political Prostitute Of The First Order! Her FIRST Is He r first Priority!

WILL SOMEONE PLEASE FILE TO RN AGAINST THIS POS!!!!!!!!!!?

[lonestarnot]

36. As a not overly informed FL outsider, I wish FL would just eat itself

while the little people watch and be done with it.

[DaLittle Kitty]

41. Problem IS that Fla. Remains an Important cog in the Wheel of Electoral Politics...

That's why the Florida Democratic Party Requires a COMPLETE OVERHAUL!
