For those who haven't heard, there are many instances of fake Tea-Party candidates on ballots around the country, the intent being to split the conservative vote giving victory to the democrat.
In Florida's 8th congressional district this fake Tea-Party candidate is Peg Dunmire.
There have been previous stories drawing the direct connection between Alan Grayson and Dunmires through her campaign manager Doug Getslo, who by the way has been sentenced to serve 60 day in jail starting Nov 3 for previous campaign indiscretions.
Obviously if the Dunmire scheme succeeds the election will be handed to Alan Grayson.
Follow the link, the fraud is as follows.
Patrica Sullivan was a Republican primary candidate in Florida Congressional 8 but lost to Daniel Webster. She very much supports Webster regardless and is in no way supporting Dunmire.
Peg Dunmire has put Patrica Sullivan's picture and name on her paid political mailers with the phrase "Tea Party people Unite" (or something to that effect- see the link)
Patrica Sullivan, along with the actual Orlando Tea Party are looking into what all laws, if any, have been broken as a result of this ridiculous stunt.
Are there ANY non-Republican ballot “Tea Party” candidates anywhere in the country that should be supported?
The only case I can think of is Colorado, where Maes WAS the “tea-party” candidate but most Tea Party groups have now jumped the sinking ship and endorsed Tancredo.
Maybe there are some other races where the republican had no chance anyway. I havent’ seen them. And I know there are a few people here pushing a libertarian candidate in the Illinois Senate race, but I don’t know if he got many tea-party endorsements or major conservative endorsements.
I’m not sure.
But in this case, the candidate is a plant by the democrat intended to split the vote.
This person and her slimy team tried to force their way into the republican candidates forum and when rejected, because obviously SHE IS NOT Running as a republican, she attacked the actual Tea Party and the universally adored, truly fair local radio commentator Who served as the moderator. Siting false claims of payoffs, profiteering and corruption.
Further, the actual Area Tea Party is running radio spots trying to inform people about this charlatan
