Has anyone seen or heard a response from Chris? His silence is deafening, is it not?

I spoke with Chris on this matter, he said he’d interviewed with Austin and shown him receipts for his expenditures. My understanding is Chris didn’t speak to Austin, but sent a representative to do so. I find that odd since Chris and Austin are both REC members and are easily accessable to each other if they want to be.

There are those who counter that a person is innocent until proven guilty: I agree, but I also understand that character isn’t always a legal issue. It is, however, a factor in deciding who best represents a constituency, a political party, and leads a Country. When a politician leaves distrust and discord in his wake, it’s a good indication that politician has character issues. When one leaves that impression, then is caught in a scandal where the innocent-minded are taken advantage of: it illustrates that person isn’t what the re-focused Republican Party stands for.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. proclaimed: “I have a dream today, where a man is judged not by the color if his skin, but by the content of his character.” That day has arrived.

Gone are the days when silver-tongues can tickle our ears and gain our votes. The time and the day has come when character counts: especially within the Republican Party. If an inexperienced candidate makes a mistake, we; realizing how convoluted election laws have become, can overlook some unintended faux pas, but intentions are so very important when determining the the character of a person whom one doesn’t know personally.

This situation does NOT wreak of chracter, but much the antithesis.

I have spoken with the parties involved in this local issue and have come to the personal conclusion that there is a strong appearance of a politician taking advantage of a naïve young man who was more trusting than prudent, then threatening him if he makes a public issue of that mistreatment. This is exactly the type of politician Americans are tired of dealing with.

It appears that this scandal includes issues such as misappropriation of funds, (not a legal accusation, but a valid perception) and some quick two-stepping to cover up the issue. To make matters worse, and more insulting is the fact that the incident took place in the name of “God and Country”.

>Like all who’ve met Chris, I’ve considered him to be congenial and intelligent. I would expect him to have already had a press release explaining what did or did not happen in this situation. His silence is disappointing. I would call for a detailed explanation, or his resignation from the current campaign to run against Corrine Brown.

I spoke with Chris about this issue, he promised something to clarify the situation; that was three days ago. In my opinion, the window has closed on this opportunity.

“Americans by-nature despise those who take advantage of the weak or the naïve, and more especially when the advantage is taken by a politician who says “trust me, I’m a Christian”.

>Johnson and Powers must believe that we are all too stupid to see for ourselves what they are doing and who they support.

This has nothing to do with whether or not Nwasike extorted money from a naive young man.

Really, Lack of Reality?

Perhaps you could show us when anyone has “broken rocks” for an FEC (alleged) violation. At most this is a small fine, a slap on the wrist and a little embaresment for Nwasike.

On the other hand Raymond and Jarod, under Florida Statutes, are facing a felony conviction with penalties of up to five years in prison and a $1000.00 per day fine for every day that they keep the video posted. The legal defense fees alone will be enough to force each of them into bankruptcy and neither will be able to serve as a fiduciary or to vote for a very long time if convicted. Then of course there are the civil penalties that they would face upon conviction should the Fields choose to pursue that avenue.
