Hate Debbie Wasserman Schultz? See this

DWS heavily supported Allison Tant to become the Florida Democratic Party Chairwoman. Allison Tant was a lobbyist with DBT Online who helped Katherine Harris to do the infamous Florida voter purge that helped George W. Bush get elected in 2000.

LAKE MARY ­­— In the most bitter and closely fought party election in decades, Florida Democratic leaders elected former Tallahassee lobbyist Allison Tant as their new state chairwoman Saturday.

Tant defeated Hillsborough County Democratic state committeeman Alan Clendenin 587-507 after a sometimes nasty two-month campaign that featured heavy lobbying on her behalf by Democratic National Committee chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz and U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson.

Allison Tant, current candidate for Florida Democratic Party Chair, was one of only three lobbyist for a company called DBT Online in 1999 and 2000. DBT Online was hired by Katherine Harris and was responsible for purging the voter rolls in the 2000 election, in which Al Gore narrowly lost to George W. Bush. Many feel that Vice-President Gore lost the election because over 57,000 African-Americans were purged from the voter list due to DBT Online.

Now with the release of this information, character must be a key issue regarding the race for FDP Chair. While there are many things that Democrats can be forgiving on, the robbing of the 2000 Presidential Election isn’t one of those things. And as the lobbyist for the company that purged the the voter roll, Allison Tant was an instrumental part of George W. Bush getting Florida’s 25 electoral votes, thus the presidential election and eight years of one of the worst presidencies ever.

As true Democrats, one must ask if Allison Tant should run our Florida Democratic Party. After it was known that ChoicePoint was involved with the voter purge, Tant stayed on record as a lobbyist for another ten months, even is she resigned a few months prior. Will Tant sell out the Florida Democratic Party in 2013 as much as she sold it out in 2000? History shows that is the case.

1. I am going to have to rethink what I thought of the 4% who believe in lizard people

Derpy Whatta Schuck and Allison Tant just might be lizard people.

10. Where is David Icke when you need him??

[Ivan Kaputski]

18. What does Geico have to do wtih this?

[Helen Borg]

3. I hate her more now.

[Betty Karlson]

4. That woman is the biggest DINO; why is she in that chair?

And what will it take to remove her?

[Katashi_itto]

5. Don't worry, she will be gone. Hillary has her groomed for a Cabinet position.

[Betty Karlson]

6. I wouldn't want DWS anywhere near a cabinet.

Even a kitchen cabinet. I'm sure she'd like to cook everything in sight, but we'd end up with an unpalatable mess.

[Katashi_itto]

7. I would agree. However she will get rewarded if Clinton wins.

[Ken Burch]

11. Which one...DWS or Tant? n/t.

[newfie11]

8. What a scumbag!

[CharlotteVale]

9. The betrayals just never seem to end.

[Scuba]

12. Under DWS Democrats have lost 900+ state legislature seats, 12 governors, 69 House seats, 13 Senate

... seats yet she still has her job.

Now if that doesn't make you believe the top level of the party hasn't been corrupted then you've got your head buried under a rock.

13. "Bernie's being betrayed!" "Bernie's being betrayed"!

[djean111]

14. Democrats are being betrayed.

I live in Florida. DWS has ruined the idea of the Democratic Party.

Makes me laugh, all those "Better support any D" posts - Debbie actually supports Republicans - publicly - when it suits her.
So those "better support a D" things are just trash to me. Hypocritical at best.

[Uncle Joe]

22. The American People are being betrayed.

"A well informed electorate is prerequisite for democracy," Schultz has pulled every slimy trick out of her playbook to make sure the people remain ignorant.

25. Why am I unsurprised that a Hillary can has no problem with her crap.

[rhett o rick]

27. Is that the best you can do? I am guessing that political corruption is ok as long as it's your

candidate that's corrupt. The People will prevail over your friends the 1%.

15. "Shortly after Tant won, she and Clendenin called for unity."

"After he lost, Clendenin was elected vice chairman and claimed a measure of victory.

"A top-down approach to this party is something of the past," he said, taking the loss with grace. He hugged Tant and then held her hand high.

"Make no mistake, GOP, this team's coming to get you," Clendenin said."

16. Tant is married to Barry Richards who was the lawyer for Bush in Bush vs. Gore, after wifey purged.

We begged to get rid of her, but just know Sen Bill Nelson another 3rd way, was the one who made sure she had the votes of a few, who always do what they're told on the committee in fla.

[Ivan Kaputski]

19. Nelson feeds at the trough of the rich.

17. Debbie the Disloyal Democrat n/t

[NCTraveler]

20. Please don't distract DWS.

She is focused like a laser in getting Clinton elected. We can't have distractions at this point.

Sincerely,

Proud Supporter of the DNC

23. The Conservative (Republican) Cancer in Florida has metastasized.

Duplicity and Corruption at its zenith.

[Warren DeMontague]

24. She also allied with Sheldon Adelson in favor of throwing medical marijuana users in prison.

[backscatter712]

26. One of DU's Alert Tattlers went nuts when DWS was compared to Katherine Harris.

What can I say? If the shoe fits...

Because DWS is just as bad as Katherine Harris. She's just as dishonest, at least as corrupt, and as abusive of her power, and as determined to win ugly as any Republican.

DWS is a disgrace to the Democratic Party and needs to be pushed out.
