Florida Police Leave The Republican Party In Mass Exodus

Florida Gov. Rick Scott is so unpopular that he has caused the Broward County Police Benevolent Association to leave the Republican Party en mass, and they are encouraging other Floridians to do the same.

According to the Broward-Palm Beach New Times, what pushed the police association over the edge was Scott’s union due deductions bill, which is a union busting measure in the finest Scott Walker tradition. The Florida measure would allow government agencies to collect union dues if the union is engaged in political activities.

They are so outraged that on July 16, the union will be holding a “Party to Leave The Party” event.

Check out the invitations,

The Broward PBA wants to send a message to the Republican Party, the governor and the Republican-led legislature– those that are wreaking havoc on the lives of public employees–that we will not sit idly by and take it. Supporting the GOP means supporting those that are working hard against your interests and those who believe that labor unions are bent on destroying America.

On July 16, we want you, our members, your friends and your family, to leave the Republican Party. Law enforcement, firefighters, teachers and other public employees are invited to join us in switching from the Republican party to the party of their choice. Those who are not registered voters are welcome to come register so their voices can also be heard. Reg- istering or switching parties takes two minutes. All you need is a government-issued ID like a Florida Driver’s License or a Florida ID.

There is one more legislative session before the 2012 elections–let’s put them on notice.

The union’s members were mostly Republican and had been supporting Republican governors in the state for the past couple of decades, but Rick Scott and Florida legislature combined have pushed this thin blue line over to the Democrats.

Those people who think that Rick Scott’s status as the most unpopular politician in America won’t have an impact on the 2012 presidential race in the state had better read this story and think again. This man is so unpopular that he is forcing disgusted Republicans to leave their own party.

I have named the phenomenon The Rick Scott Effect because polling has shown that as Scott’s popularity has gone down in the state, Obama’s has gone up. Rick Scott’s disapproval rating (54%) is almost twice the size of his approval rating (29%).

As a lot law enforcement officers are generally a pretty conservative bunch, so how bad have things gotten in Florida to make an entire union leave the GOP, and encourage others to do the same?

2010 may have been the year of the Koch, but in 2012 freedom will strike back.

The Florida Police Benevolent Association is a donation call center. Their operators solicit donations via telephone. Most of the money goes to the PBA and a little goes to the Fraternal Order of Police Union.

They'll feel at home with the Democrats.

That's why they need no facts.

Looks like FPBA is now collecting cash for police union PACs. But the money they give to politicians today is pretty nearly 50-50.

Oh the heady halcyon days of a fresh-faced half-white Senator from Chicago who was going to run on Public Funds so that he would not be corrupted by evil influences such as BP...
