FL-16: Blunt To Florida: Vote Negron Or No Money For You
Get this — Roy Blunt, the number three Republican in the House, is telling Florida residents in Mark Foley's district that if they want the House to fund a long-sought cleanup of a local lagoon, they should vote for GOP candidate Joe Negron. The Palm Beach Post quotes Blunt, the House majority whip, as saying the following: "I think it will make a difference if Joe Negron is the guy ... as we look at these projects we've talked about." The NRCC's blog actually boasted about Blunt's remarks. Such talk sounds more like a leader of a party with a secure majority than one which may be three weeks away from being in the minority.

Good to know the Greedy Old Perps have moved from soliciting bribes and threatening blackmail in Congress to openly attempting to bribe/threaten voters. It was just a matter of time.

Someone should ask Nancy Pelosi or Steny Hoyer whether the Dems might be able to find some money for local lagoon clean-up in the budget. I have a feeling they might be able to find some funding for it.
Two can play at that game!

I'm fillin' out my absentee ballot and checkin' it twice,
Cause we all know who was naughty and not nice.
My arrows are black and nicely filled in,
Makin' dammed sure Tim Mahoney wins.
I just love filling out this ballot. For the first time since 1998, I feel like the Democrats might be coming to town.
