ORLANDO, Fla. - A Republican political consultant and two other men were found dead in a home in an apparent double-murder and suicide, authorities and relatives said.

Authorities have not determined a motive for the deaths of Ralph Gonzalez, 39, his roommate, David Abrami, 36, and a friend, Robert Drake, 30. ....

Gonzalez was executive director of the Georgia Republican Party from 2001-2002. He managed U.S. Rep. Tom Feeney's 2002 campaign and was president of Strategum Group, an Orlando-based political consulting firm that represents Republican candidates.

"He was a born political consultant. He had bravado, he was intense, and he lived and breathed tactics and strategy," Feeney said. "He was an adviser and strategist for me and became a very good friend."

Abrami, an attorney, was active in Republican politics as well.

Gonzalez, the son of Cuban immigrants, was devoted to politics even as a youth, said his father, Rafael Gonzalez of Miami. He graduated from Florida International University and received his master's degree in campaign management at the University of Florida. ....

1. I guess that they loathe themselves as much as we loathe them. nt

2. Maybe their futures didn't look very rosey???? Must be bad for

this to have happened.

3. Very interesting. If connected to Feeney, you have to ask some questions.

Think Ray Lemme

4. Things are pretty depressing right now in the GOP. n/t

5. Three less repugs.

10. Jail would be better as well as a well-covered public trial

Death serves justice nothing.

6. It's funny, Gonzales was the son of Cuban immigrants, but Abrami was the Executive Director of SOS

Or Save Our State, an Anti-Immigration group that has ties to extremist organizations.

7. Didn't you know? Cuba doesn't count if they came here with money

while Castro was coming in....

8. This seems a little bit (as Church Lady would say) Conveeeenient

Wonder what they knew and I wonder who wanted them "Quiet".

9. ...apparent. What? No big pay-off private sector job? My tin-foil hat is tingling...

"...oh yeah? After all I've done for this party? Is this the "loyalty" that you said you'd give me? If you even THINK about making us take the fall for xxxx, I'll go right to the Times and.... hello?...HELLO?"

(knock, knock, knock)... bang, bang, bang.

Oh yeah. That stuff doesn't really happen... They'd NEVER do stuff like that. They'd be INCAPABLE of doing things like that...

It would be... "illegal".
