It is really interesting how desperate Florida Republicans are to win in 2010. Tom Feeney is hosting a fundraiser for Congressman Bill Posey. Feeney was named one of the 13 most corrupt members of Congress by the Congressional Accountability Project. Feeney was forced to reinburse the U.S. Treasury $5,643 for his Scottish golfing trip with convicted lobbyist Jack Abramoff. Feeney ultimately lost his seat.
Feeney attempted to have (I'm not making this up) the teaching of yoga banned in Florida public schools and wanted Florida to secede from the union. This is who Posey wants to be associated with. Considering Posey has been accused of being genetically half gator it isn't such an outlandish idea.
Marco Rubio has received the endorsement of Dennis Baxley. Baxley felt so strongly about Rubio he resigned from the Christian Coalition of Florida. Baxley will serve on Rubio's campaign.
Baxley has a history of making racist remarks. Baxley served in the Florida House. He lost running for the Florida Senate.
Feeney and Baxley are two has been Florida pols with excessive baggage. It says a lot about Posey's and Rubio's judgement to be linked with such political liabilities.
