Robert Wexler's residency problems

Rep. Robert Wexler, D-Delray Beach, spearhead of the Clinton anti-impeachment defense and the Bush impeachment drive, has been too clever by half. It turns out that Maryland has an extra Congressman in its delegation, Rep. Robert Wexler, D-Potomac.
We'll see how this all shakes out. He'd practically have to become a card-carrying member of Hezbollah to get thrown out of office, his constituents love him so. Anybody with the chutzpah to be an early, ardent, and unflinching backer of Barack Obama's candidacy in a South Florida Congressional district must be feeling pretty smug about his chances for re-election.

I hate it when your favorite politician gets caught doing something slimy. It's not technically illegal, and he never lied about it or tried to hide it, but it's still so .... sliiiiiiiiimy. ugh. And yeah, I'd still vote for him. A good pol in Maryland is better than a bad pol in Delray.

To say that I was shocked is an understatement. The man should not be allowed to run again as a rep. for Florida. He obviously is entitled to run in Maryland and nothing else. For years we have been fooled by this man but how can he represent us when he doesn't live in the hurricane-ridden, overtaxed area of S. Florida. He's paying homeowners insurance (a nice, low amount I presume) in Maryland while the rest of us are suffering from State Farm and Allstate higher prices. No, he should be removed from running again and a person who lives here permanently should take his place. In fact, the best premise would be if he just resigned. He is not a Floridian.

Wexler is a fraud and a phony. There should be a criminal investigation. He's committed voter fraud, insurance fraud and tax evasion. This guy has the nerve to suggest impeaching the President? Hey Wexler, people who live in glass houses, don't throw stones!!! IMPEACH WEXLER!

Wexler said that he didn't want to miss his kids early years while he was away in Washington, that he was known as the most traveled Congressman in Washington. Especially in his first few terms when his kids were much younger. What a hypocrit! Who is he kidding? What a downright fraud and liar. I a Democrat but I am an American first my vote should be secret. But the secret is out. I'm voting for Lynch. Great job exposing this fraud Mr. Lynch.

Wait - don't all congressmen live in or near DC? What difference does it make where they happen to own some other residence they are never at? The real fix for these problems is to tear down all the house and senate buildings and have them telecommute from their home district - that way the lobbyists can't get 'em all in one place at the same time.

Bobby says he has been open about this sham. Why is there such an enormous number of legal residents that havent been notified of this open scam. I think he should resign now.

Yep our Slick and Arrogant Robert Wexler is finally getting what he deserves. His HALF VOTE NONSENSE and his trashing of Hillary and his support of the incompetent Arthur Anderson will now haunt him but good. He lives in Maryland but he represnts us ? Ha - too too funny. He can have Florida plates on his vehicles and drive them all over Maryland but I can't ??? Why the hell not if Wexie can do it !!! too funny. He can live in Maryland and not pay Florida taxes although he says he lives here although he doesnt meet the age requirement of the complex and they dont allow kids. So I suggest he stay in MD with his kids and run for election up there. We dont want him here and he has given us ample reason.His wife is a judge in Maryland - yeah she works there but she is a FLORIDA resident too - what a joke-- and you know she is looking for all kinds of legal loopholes for her Slickster right now. But the voters will toss Robbie out and he can climb in bed with his buddy Obambi in Washington!! Good riddens to the scumbag !!

A RESPONSE TO LOIS LANE, JULY 23.
WEXLER IS YOUR FAVORITE POLITICIAN. I AM SORRY, BUT I HAVE TO QUESTION YOUR STANDARDS. YOU SAY IT'S NOT TECHNICALLY ILLEGAL. WHY NOT WAIT FOR THE FACTS TO COME OUT? YOU THINK HE IS A GOOD POL AND YOU WILL STILL VOTE FOR HIM. I BELIEVE YOU COME UNDER " YOU CAN FOOL SOME OF THE PEOPLE SOME OF THE TIME " CATEGORY. LET'S GET SOME NEW BLOOD. WEXLER IS A LOSER. WE GOTTA BE ABLE TO DO BETTER THAN THIS GUY.

Wexler is a true blue Democrat. He works very hard for the Democrat party. BUT he does almost nothing for his constituents. He hardly even shows up for important local events. Now we know why. Toss the bum out.
