Broke and without enough money in the bank to pay its bills after the end of the month, the Florida Democratic Party has now been slapped with a lien by the Internal Revenue Service for failing to pay payroll and Social Security taxes in 2003.

The state party's budget and finance committee voted Tuesday to ask for a new audit to account for more than $900,000 it believes somehow disappeared from the books during the 2003-2004 calendar years when the party was led by Scott Maddox, who is now seeking its nomination for governor.

While the party owes roughly $200,000 in delinquent payroll and Social Security taxes, the lien was against the remaining $98,000 in their account on Friday, longtime Leon County committeeman Jon Ausman said.

Ausman said it cost about $250,000 a month to pay salaries and overhead for the party operation in Tallahassee and that it had been spending more so far this year than it has raised.

does this make the Dems in D.C. a farce?

I'd like to see a Feminist Party (our acct. books would be in order)

and we wouldn't worry whether we had 'balls' or not because we have the wombs that future humans would come from. that is our Power. It's past time we used it.

2. What the heck?

"The state Republican Party, which operates with a larger staff at its Tallahassee headquarters, has raised close to $5 million already this year and has several million in the bank, a party source said Tuesday."

No wonder they are able to steal the elections?

3. Dirty money

Only because they get their money from big corporate crooks and elite criminals (drug dealers,embezzelers,etc)
