<p>Congressman Vern Buchanan, of the 13th district in Florida, is facing increasing trouble in his reelection campaign. A first-term congressman and a long-time autodealer, Buchanan is being sued by a remarkable number of former employees and customers at the very height of the campaign season. So far, seven separate legal complaints have been filed against Buchanan, accusing him of flouting campaign finance laws, defrauding banks and customers, and even smuggling undocumented immigrants into the country to work on his beachfront house. ANP traveled to Florida to investigate the story.</p>

<p><p>Wow, I can't wait until this moron is up for reelection (2010) and doesn't have a semi-popular President Bush--circa-2004 when all the lies hadn't been discovered yet--propping him up. </p><p>The Webb Amendment would "demean troops" how, by not getting them killed from making mistakes due to over-exaustion?</p><p>Martinez is just another "historical document" Condi, "heckuva job" Brownie, "I don't recall" Alberto G. and Karen "God is in the Constitution" Hughes, ie someone who has their position based solely on their Bush bona fides (and sadly in this case, the dumbest Democratic consultant I ever worked for--and that is saying something--named Deborah Reed, who managed Democrat Betty Castor's race against him and under-performed John Kerry's total in Florida by leaps and bounds).</p><p>Martinez, to Condi's delight, will be a historical document come 2010.</p></p>
