I’ve been reading local and state wide blogs for a few years now — wayne garcia pointed to this posting and this was the first time I’ve heard of you guys.

Guess what — this is a horrible blog — i can’t believe there are so many readers?

Where is the insight/thought? I’m not sure if Karen is as dumb as you morons thinks she is.

This just screams ‘the pot calling the kettle black’

Trish
just because you use your name does not give you ANY credibility

Sadly, what is clear from this exchange as well as similar differences of opinion in our local Democratic clubs is that if a Democratic Party leader “messes up” we will defend them anyway, sometimes even resorting to the “Well, he/she isn’t as bad as Mel Martinez, anyone in the Bush Administration or fill-in-the-blank with any name pulled from the GOP ranks.” Yep, that’s what we’ve come to. What Karen Thurman does with her free time is her business doncha know. And a girl has a right to make a living by golly! And yes, we all know that corporate lobbyists own both parties but you know Karen is honorable and is only doing what’s best for Florida! So get off her case already. Leave her alone so she can travel around Florida telling us how pleased as punch we ought to be that we sent some new Democrats to DC, even though they, like she and Mild Bill the Shill Nelsoon continue to support Bush’s war — make that THE GOVERNMENT’S war on Iraq. And watch ‘em: let’s see how all our good Dems vote in September when they have yet another chance to say no to the war monger who would lead us into Armageddon with a smirk on his evil face. Bill Nelson says he’s “evolved” on Iraq and actually joined 52 other Senators in supporting the Leahy bill. When asked if he can be counted on to support it when he returns to DC and the vote will actually mean something, he didn’t answer yes.
But hey, they are Democrats right? And we have to support them because look at the alternatives.
Karen Thurman TOLD our DEC at a dinner last spring that Hillary would be our candidate. I told her then and I’ll repeat here that Hillary Clinton will never get my vote. She’s a war supporting, corporate owned elitist like most of the rest of them in Washington. We do not share similar values.
I will vote. I will not vote for a Republican. I will not vote for Clinton or Obama. But I will vote because it may be the last chance we have to vote, ever.
But Anon, go ahead and defend Ms. Thurman, even though we all know she has lied, twisted, and abused our trust. Hey she’s a Democrat so she can’t be all bad! Make that democrat-she doesn’t deserve the capital D.
Sadly knowing the honor of my party has slipped away….

That’s funny, Anonymous. My form doesn’t have the line about New Jersey in it, the one you started with, “The NJDSC does not accept contributions…” Mine also has “…exceeds the allocable contribution limit [TO A PARTICIPANT].” One might almost think you are copying and pasting boilerplate you have access to from another source. But since you’re hiding behind this “Anonymous” designation, we’ll never know exactly who it is you’re affiliated with. Which I guess is how you intended.

John, please get help. I hate Ginny Brown-Waite with a passion, but I could not bring myself to vote for you because I know that you are not stable. Please please please listen to your friends and get some serious psychiatric help as soon as possible.

Hey anonymous (man, does that sound dumb): It does not matter what kind of disclaimer is on the back of the letter, Karen Thurman’s signature (and, supposedly, her imprimatur) is on the front. She “signed” it so she’s responsible for the content. But thanks for doing all that heavy typing anyway.
