TALLAHASSEE — Jim Greer found a way to get even with Charlie Crist, but the question is how many people will believe it — or pay $32.95 to read about it. The disgraced and imprisoned former chairman of the Republican Party of Florida is the subject of a new book by St. Petersburg author Peter Golenbock. The Chairman: The Rise and Betrayal of Jim Greer is largely a 400-page rant by Greer, who went to prison more than a year ago after pleading guilty to stealing party money. Now at a halfway house in Orlando, he's due to be released...

U.S. Rep. Tom Feeney (R-Oviedo) today announced the final reason why every hardworking taxpayer should oppose this immigration amnesty sellout. "This irresponsible legislation represents the largest single increase in the government welfare state in our history," said Feeney. And it will take effect almost immediately -- as soon as the 12-20 million or more illegal immigrants are given amnesty, they will be entitled to get Social Security numbers, which will in turn permit them to use the full range of entitlement programs available to law-abiding Americans. "The bottom line is that illegal immigration expands our welfare programs that are already...

ORLANDO, Fla. - Daniel Webster's U.S. Senate campaign on Monday received the endorsements of two U.S. congressmen who praised the state senator as one of the people most responsible for building up the Republican Party in Florida. U.S. Reps. Tom Feeney, R-Fla., and Dave Weldon, R-Fla., said Webster was ideologically the best candidate out of a strong field of Republican candidates.

Both Webster and Feeney were Florida House...

GOP Is Now The "Fraternal Twin" Of Socialist Democrats By Chuck Baldwin Food For Thought From The Chuck Wagon December 16, 2003 The Republican Party's full-court press to enact the biggest expansion of Lyndon Johnson's "Great Society" welfare state by passing the recent Medicare reform bill proves that the GOP is the "fraternal twin" (Howard Phillips) of socialist Democrats. In fact, G. W. Bush and his fellow Republicans on Capitol Hill make Bill Clinton look like an economic conservative! Furthermore, Robert Novak was quoted in The Washington Post as saying the arm-twisting of recalcitrant conservatives within the GOP by party...

'Me too, pal,' says Bush, hanging up By Jonathan E. Kaplan Conservative Republican frustration over the failure of the Bush administration and the House Republican leadership to restrain federal spending has boiled over in recent days, producing a rare confrontation between GOP lawmakers and party leaders. The internal conflict, fueled largely by recent passage of the $78 billion Iraq reconstruction effort and the $400 billion prescription-drug benefit for senior citizens that squeaked through the House on Nov. 22, came to a head last week when President Bush abruptly terminated a phone conversation with a Florida Republican who refused his plea...

WASHINGTON -- It took Tom Feeney just over three months to undo a federal criminal-sentencing system that had been 10 years in the making. Feeney, a freshman congressman from Central Florida, won sweeping new restrictions on the power of federal judges in setting sentences. His controversial amendment -- called divisive and unconstitutional by some but lauded by conservatives -- was part of a bill on child safety that President Bush is expected to sign soon. The victory is striking for a newcomer to Congress and highlights two themes of the Republican lawmaker's first 100 days in Washington: Feeney has been...
