Rep. Robert Wexler is getting desperate.
After several media outlets discovered the Democratic congressman from Florida uses his in-laws' house in a Florida retirement community to meet residency requirements, he has sent out an e-mail (entire text here) asking for campaign donations - alleging it's his "strong and vocal stands in favor of impeaching President Bush and Vice President Cheney" that has made him a target of "ultra-conservative" media.
"In the eyes of the right wing, I am seen, along with Rep. Kucinich, as one of the symbols of the impeachment fight. They believe that if they defeat me - they defeat our cause," Wexler wrote. "For the last week, I've been relentlessly targeted by ultra-conservative radio and television hosts, as well as my local media. It has taken a toll. Now more than ever, I need your support to help me stay in Congress to represent your voice in Washington."

Wexler is safe. If a district is bad enough to elect him in the first place, a small problem like him living in another state being exposed on FoxNews should be no problem.
No Wexler...you dumb@ss...it's because you're a lying sack of sh!t and you got busted...I think he should have to return every dime he begged because he begged for them under false pretenses!
Not that it's not contemptible, but lots of dims (and some pubbies too I'm sure), run out and ask their constituents for money when their opponent strikes a raw nerve.
I think it's a trained response, like salivating at the sound of a dinner bell
He's milking the moonbats.
You can pretty much milk anything with nipples.
Can you milk a cat?
Wexler is a rung or two below a POS.
Sounds to me like Wexler is beginning to get phone calls and emails from the voters in his district.
Even so, he’s really got a heck of an ego thinking Rush, Levin and Hannity are wasting their breath on him because he was for “impeachment” - which all conservative talk radio thought was ridiculous to begin with. No, Wexler, they’re coming after you because you play fast and loose with the rules, and they know that if you had had an “R” next to your name, you would have been denounced nightly in the liberal media, and Nancy Pelousy would be calling for you to resign.
In any sane society this man would be arrested and imprisoned. Unfortunately he has been set loose on civilization!
Has anyone heard how the effort to block the Fairness Doctrine is going?
Is he a carpet bagger?
These are the same people that vote absentee in both Florida and New York, right? What would they care about a Congressman who plays loose with the rules?

What is an “Ultra-Conservative” anyways? Is that, like, someone who wants to revert humanity back to using stone tools and hunting Mammoths? And isn’t that more in line with Environmentalist thinking?
Wexler is having delusions of adequacy.
The “right wing” media doesn’t give a sh#t about his crackpot stance on impeachment, he’s a whacko leftie loon and doesn’t merit attention.
what they do care about, though, is the little turd’s residency shenanigans. I’d STILL like to know where he is registered to vote..
What’s wrong with hunting Mammoths? I rather like my stone tools thank you very much! /s
An ultra-conservative is someone who ultra-doesn’t agree with his views or perhaps someone who is ultra-slightly to the right of him.
Wexler is under attack because he’s a political clown show.
Wexler is the goofball who on Election night 2000, was mugging in the cameras, claiming that senior citizens had sought him out in the parking lots of polling places, “literally crying” at the possibility that the infamous ‘butterfly ballot’ might have caused them to cast their votes for (*gasp*) Pat Buchanan instead of Al Gore, he did as much to try and help Gore steal the election as anyone else in the ‘Rat conspiracy that unfolded before us.
The joke in Florida is that Wexler was refused permission to donate his organs in case of his death because there is some concern that donated organs can provoke behavior in the recipient that is similar to what was once exhibited in the donor.
Wexler is what happens when petrie dishes collide.
AHHH poor wittle man! It’s not nice to tell his constitueints that he’s lied about his address or any truth about him. Mean mean rightwing! *sarcasim*
Can the State of MD go after him for income tax evasion?
Wasn’t Wexler the guy who bragged on TV about how fun cocaine and hookers are?
Since when is Bill O’Reilly “Ultra Conservative?”
That’s news to me.
“Wasn’t Wexler the guy who bragged on TV about how fun cocaine and hookers are?”
Either him or Tom Hanks.
“Since when is Bill O’Reilly “Ultra Conservative?”
Or even micro Conservative?
Sorry my mind tends to race when it comes to how much I dislike Wexler.
"Um, Wexler, Ultra-Conservatives are people too."
“You can pretty much milk anything with nipples. “
I have nipples, dead, can you milk me?
This is the funniest thing I’ve seen in a while. Thanks for the laugh. I would love to see this as a commercial.
I'd say he is more like a douche bagger.
That is about it.
Hey Wexler you corrupt Marylander DemoPervert!
Go to jail!
Go directly to Jail!
Do Not Pass Go!
Do not collect all your bribes!
Well, we know O’Reilly reads this because he called us “haters” once. He’ll probably take your suggestion and run with it, all the while praising himself for his insight in digging for the truth.
If he thinks his residency/local citizenship problem is tough, he may have nothing on the reported Obama one.
(His adopted father reportedly renounced Obama’s USA citizenship to adopt him in Indonesia.)
Yes.
He lives in rich Potomac, Md. If you in Maryland for six months or more you're considered a part time resident and have to pay state income tax. Considering the current regime running the state house and the legislature, I doubt if they will go after a fellow leftist DemonRAT.
Even IF I were a Dem, I’d be furious about this ... first, abiyt his not living in the district he ‘represents,’ and secondly, his wasting time for which taxpayer dollars are paying him, baying at the moon with his impeachment talk. That is the biggest waste of time when there are real issue the Congress should be handling.
We need to study the demographics of his District to see if there is any hope of sending his sorry butt back there. Tho, it’d get tight in the in-laws’ condo with him, the wife, and kiddies.
I bet most 13 year old girls in the U.S.A. could kick Robert Wexlers rear end.
I’m just surprised he is married, and to a woman.
Is he any relation to the rat- looking Henry Wexler?
If I had known this weasel was going to represent me when I moved down here in 2001, I'd have settled about five miles further north, then I could be working to get Alan West elected.
i think I’m in the gerrymandered district of Alcee (the crooked impeached former judge) Hastings.
Why is it that all our politicians are garbage?
I think we can safely put him down as a vote for a new “fairness doctrine” to silence talk radio.
More like a tea bagger... gross.
