Heads up, Florida people.

I'm not quite sure what this is all about since I've been out of touch with Florida for several weeks, but it must be good news.
Thrasher is from my area of that state (same town as a matter of fact).

Guess he's more interested in leading the Republican Party in FL than in working on ethics and how they pertain (or not)to elections.

3. More good news: Rightwad golden boy Marco Rubio is catching some flak

Marco Rubio charged personal bills on GOP card

<snip>

"U.S. Senate candidate Marco Rubio charged grocery bills, repairs to the family minivan and purchases from a wine store less than a mile from his West Miami home to the Republican Party of Florida while he was speaker of the Florida House, according to records obtained by The Miami Herald/St. Petersburg Times.

Rubio said Wednesday that he paid for all personal expenses billed to an American Express card given to him by the party to use from 2005 to 2008 when he left public office. The rest of the charges, he said, were legitimate party expenses.

Those expenses include a $1,000 charge at Braman Honda in Miami for repairs to the family car in January 2008. Rubio said the minivan was damaged by parking attendants at a political function and that the party agreed to cover half of his insurance deductible. The party also paid $2,976 for him to rent a car in Miami for five weeks, according to the records provided by a confidential source."

"Party spokeswoman Katie Gordon said the card was not supposed to be used for personal expenses. "The RPOF American Express card is a corporate card and is meant to be used for business expenses," Gordon said when asked about the party's policy.

Donations to parties must go exclusively toward influencing elections under IRS rules.

Records show Rubio sent payments to American Express totaling $13,900 for his personal expenses during his tenure as House speaker. But those payments were not made monthly. He made no contributions to the bill during a six-month stretch in 2007, records show."
