Peg Dunmire is running for Congress under the name of a political organization called the TEA Party. Under this designation, Dunmire is winning six percent of the vote in Florida’s eighth Congressional district against Democrat Alan Grayson and Republican Daniel Webster, according to a recent poll.. . .
Dunmire, a 63-year old grandmother and consultant, is resentful at the suggestion that she might be dividing the base, or that she is the member of a subversive third party. . . .
You’re repeating exactly what the Republican mantra is: going to siphon off the votes, you’re going to be a spoiler,’” she said in an interview, when asked about the possibility of her splitting the vote. “That’s Republican jargon, that’s their view.”
“This two-party system is only about power — not about solving our country’s problems. It is power, power, power,” said Dunmire. “What I talk about is taking power away from the legislators and giving it back to the people. And that is absolutely not what the Republican Party wants to do.”

It sounds like Peg has become a legend in her own mind. She must know her purpose in this race is to take votes away from the Republicans so Al Grayson can win but what's she going to do, Grayson is a financial supporter of her party, I use to give her a litle slack thinking she didn't realize the fact. Now, it's so obvious that the only explanation is she does realize it and she has climbed down into the slim pits with her cronies Grayson, Guetzloe, and O'Neil and is just as pro liberaql progressive as they are.
mmwwuuhahahahahaha . . . soundz like you know what ur talkin 'bout down in the "slim pits" Richard. Is that where all the 'publicans and 'emocrats hang out?
