What the hell is wrong with Florida democrats?

[136or142]

Chris Murphy is a lying pretty boy, Debbie Wasserman-Schultz is incompetent and threatened to call Obama anti-semitic and anti-woman if he removed her, Charlie Crist is the definition of sleazy career politician, and Alan Grayson is one of the worst human beings in the country.  What on earth is wrong with Florida?  At least Bill Nelson seems like a decent guy.

if the comment on Patrick Murphy being a 'lying pretty boy' is based on the first part of the CBS story that ran today, I'd say that story engaged in some pretty dishonest tactics as well, especially the first half in regards to him being a CPA.

1.The story said it took him nine times to pass the CPA final exam.  And?  He passed it in the end.

2.The story said he was certified in Colorado and not Florida, but that he was working for a CPA firm in Florida.  And?  CPA firms hire lots of non-certified people with a background in bookkeeping or accounting.  I would guess that in most firms, the largest number of employees, if not the majority, are 3rd level accounting students who do the grunt work.

At most, they showed that Murphy stretched the truth in his claim that he was a CPA, when he only had a certification as a CPA in Colorado and not in Florida.

3.The story referred to 'accounting experts who suspect Murphy...'  So, no names given, just 'experts' who have 'suspicions' but no evidence or proof.  Textbook yellow journalism.

I thought the second half of the story on Murphy's claim that he was a 'small business owner' were fairer. Based on that story,  he should refer to himself as an executive in a family owned business and not as a small business owner.  Still, if Rapist Trump's only lie was that he was 'self made' and not that he lies about everything all the time, I wouldn't consider that to be a very big deal.

So, if that's the only evidence that Patrick Murphy lies or stretches the truth, I'd say there isn't much there. I'll wait for the second part of this 'expose', but I'd take it with a grain of salt, as the first half of the first part was either a deliberate hatchet job or was based on a complete misunderstanding of how accounting firms operate.

As to Alan Grayson, he'd be considered fairly mild if he were a Republican compared to the likes of Louie Gohmert, Steve King,  Pete King and a whole bunch of the others in that gang of idiots.

^Pete King is a very moderate Republican. A loud moderate, but a moderate.

I meant both Kings.  Pete King is trash who supported the IRA.

Peter King is a moderate, but he also has neoconservative tendencies. It's very much, in your words "yellow journalism" to say he supported the IRA. He was far too sympathetic to the terrorist organization, but he didn't want us to support them. Unless you found yourself some experts with suspicions....

Everybody here can decide for themselves whether Mass Murder Supporter Pete KingS upported the IRA or was merely sympathetic to them.

From Wiki:

"King began actively supporting the Irish republican movement in the late 1970s. He frequently traveled to Northern Ireland to meet with senior members of the Provisional Irish Republican Army (IRA), many of whom he counted as friends. King compared Gerry Adams, the leader of Sinn Féin, the political wing of the Irish republican movement, to George Washington, and asserted that the "British government is a murder machine."  However, he did not meet Adams until 1984.

King became involved with NORAID, an organization that the British, Irish and U.S. governments had accused of financing IRA activities and providing them with weapons.  Regarding the 30 years of violence during which the IRA killed over 1,700 people, King said, "If civilians are killed in an attack on a military installation, it is certainly regrettable, but I will not morally blame the IRA for it."

He also called the IRA "the legitimate voice of occupied Ireland". Speaking at a pro-IRA rally in 1982 in Nassau County, New York, King pledged support to "those brave men and women who this very moment are carrying forth the struggle against British imperialism in the streets of Belfast and Derry."

In 1985, the Irish government boycotted New York's annual St. Patrick's Day celebrations in protest at King serving as Grand Marshal of the event; the Irish government condemned him as an "avowed" supporter of IRA terrorism.  At the parade he again offered words of support for the IRA.

During the murder trial of an IRA member in the 1980s, a judge in Northern Ireland ejected King from the courtroom, describing King as "an obvious collaborator with the IRA".

At a September 2011 hearing in England concerning terrorism, King said the IRA used British torture as a recruiting tool, but that it has no parallels with American treatment of suspects after 9/11. Labour MP David Winnick commented to King that "there's been some surprise in the United States but also in Britain that you have a job looking into and investigating into terrorism" and added that King "seems to be an apologist for terrorism".

Sounds like a total POS to me and not a person belonging in Congress.
