The Florida Whig Party Code of Conduct prohibits quasi-party membership and our belief in Acta non Verba (Deeds not words) differs from the debate club approach of the Moderns. In October of 2009, following the resignation of the first administration of the Moderns, the Executive Board of the Florida Whig Party severed formal ties but continued working with the second administration of the Moderns (which lasted from October through December 2009) in hope of clarity of purpose, principle, and leadership. The third administration of the Moderns remains vacant since mid-December 2009 as of this date. We believe the Moderns are best suited for those seeking a specific alternative to the Democrat Party. By politely stepping away from the Moderns, this action is being taken not out of spite or disgust, but rather to remain true to the pure historical and current relevance of what it means to be a Whig and devotee of Classical Liberalism . . .
We have seen many TEA parties across the nation become Republicanized and have been highly critical and outspoken of this development. Those who claim to be real TEA party activists yet despise anyone or organization that may “take away votes” from the Republican Party candidate is a hypocrite; with Sarah Palin at the top of the list. The Florida Whig Party has no tolerance or room for hypocrites. We find the Republican TEAs is no different than Community Organizers with ACORN who despise the Republican Party and work solely and overtly for Democrat Party candidates while claiming to be non-political. Republican TEAs and Democrat ACORNS are both hypocrites. Unfortunately the same is true of the left-of-center Moderns who claim to be a political party while allowing members from top-to-bottom to be registered with other political parties; primarily Democrat. Simultaneously confusing and hypocritical isn’t it.

So now we have Whigs attacking other Whigs as not being Whig enough? Is this a joke? The guy who wrote this sounds like quite a maroon.
The falling out between the Florida Whigs and the Moderns Whigs happened over the course of last fall. The Florida Whig Party was actually founded first in 2006 maybe, and then the national Modern Whig Party a Year later, after which the FL Whigs merged with the national party. But the FL Whigs seem to have wanted to take a much more conservative stance on a lot of issues, whereas the modern Whigs are defiantly centrist/pragmatic. These ideological differences are obviously separate from the internal issues between the two groups, but shouldn't be discounted.
The Florida Whigs are running six or seven candidates for Congress this year.
