To all Deutsch-supporters:
Is this who YOU want as your canidate for senator from the Sunshire State? Deutsch is an awful choice. Support Castor if you must, but don't support Deutsch. If you do, this is who you're backing; a person who:

1. A supporter of the War on Iraq.
2. An enthusiastic Death Penalty Proponent.
3. "Obnoxious, abrasive and aloof"
..... "He can be a vile human being," said a Democrat in Congress.
..... "Several of his congressional colleagues from Florida had surprisingly harsh things to say about Deutsch during recent interviews in Washington. None would allow his name to be used. After all, Deutsch could win and they would have to deal with him as one of Florida's two senators." {I wouldn’t be too worried. If the Repubs put up Martinez, it’s all over}.
4. Someone Who Continually attacks Penelas in Bizarre, Irrational Manner
..... "Deutsch's tougher side showed up early in the campaign. In August, a full year before voters were to go to the polls, Deutsch went on the attack, accusing Penelas of "criminal activity" in raising money for his campaign." {This from the guy who is the leader in taking donations from outside Florida}.
..... "When Penelas said it was untrue, Deutsch called him a 'pathological liar.' Then Deustch filed a complaint with the Federal Elections Commission urging it to investigate Penelas. That complaint is under review."
5. A Do-Nothing Congressperson Who Supports Republican Agenda
..... "Voted for welfare reform, saying, 'People respond to incentives. No one wants to be on the public dole.' And he voted in favor of a ban on burning American flags."
..... "'The flag is a symbol and there are certain limits to free speech,' Deutsch says. 'It is not just a piece of cloth. When coffins come back from Iraq, they are covered with an American flag, not just some piece of paper or cloth. You can protest without destroying the flag.'"

1. Deutsch
He also has not voted since May 19, 2004. If he can't do his job representing the people of this state then why vote for him? He has a job to do, but he is not even showing up to vote. No, I will not be voting for Deutsch.

2. How is Betty on the Death Penalty?
Her website has no mention of it and there aren't any mentions in the press about it. She may have the same position on it as Deutsch.
