Even some Broward Democrats agreed that today’s visit by Caroline Kennedy appears to be a desperation move by President Barack Obama’s political machine. Organizing For America held the rally in Tamarac, usually a Democrat stronghold; Less than 300 Democrat faithful filed into the Tamarac Community Center to hear Ms. Kennedy’s lukewarm defense of Obama. The loudest applause came when Kennedy mentioned her late father, President John F. Kennedy and her late uncle, Senator Ted Kennedy.

Several Broward Democrat politicos attended the event: Clerk Of Courts Howard Forman, County Commissioner Sue Gunzburger, Tamarac Vice Mayor Diane Glasser, Sheriff wannabe Louis Granteed and School Board candidates Jaemi Levine, Bob Mayersohn and Shelley Solomon. Democrat operatives Jack Shifrel and Barry Harris stopped by too.

A few hours later at Wings Plus ( The Cafe Versailles of Broward), hosted a fundraiser for Broward State Attorney candidate Jim Lewis. Nearly fifty people came to support Lewis who hopes to finally retire Mike Satz (D-What Corruption?). Many members of the Republican Business Network came out to pledge their support for Lewis.

Some notables in attendance included: Coral Springs Commissioner and Mayoral candidate Vince Boccard, Coral Springs commission candidate Dan Daley, FL House candidate Jim Gleason, County Commission candidate Robert Sutton and Bill Lewis, host of The Credit Report With Bill Lewis.

Bonfire Of The Inanities: Broward Democrats Don Blacktie As The “1%” Parties The Night Away

Despite the economic struggles of most south Floridians, on Saturday night Broward Democrats hosted a Blacktie gala for Broward’s ruling glass. The affair was held at the Marriott Heron Bay in Parkland. Some came by limousine, but most took advantage of the free parking. If you wanted to have fun last night it helped if you had the bank account of the “1%”. According to a Broward Democrat website, the prices were as follows:

Diamond Sponsors $2,500
Gold Sponsors $2,000
Table Sponsors. $1,700
Dinner Ticket. $150
VIP Cocktail Ticket. $125

With that kind of money you could almost fill your gas tank!

Some of your rulers Broward Democrat leaders in attendance were, Broward County Commisioner Ilene Lieberman, Broward County Commissioner Stacy Ritter, Broward State Attorney Mike Satz, Broward Clerk of Courts Howard Forman, Broward County Property Appraiser Lori Parrish, huge Alex Sink fan Caryl Hattan, huge Democrat Steve Geller, Jack Shifrel, Broward County commissioner Kristin Jacobs and her opponent Lois Frankel. BSO candidate Louis Granteed showed up too. Also there, Tamarac Vice Mayor Diane Glasser and her friend Percy Johnson.

You know who wasn’t there? Those Occupy Fort Lauderdale kids in downtown Fort Lauderdale. Guess their invites got lost in the mail. Or maybe the long march to Parkland was too much for them.

But how many regular folks can afford to spend a few hundred bucks to have dinner and drinks with Mitch Ceasar and company? Did they care that most of Broward’s lumpen proletariat sticks to the 2 for $20 meals at Applebees followed by a $1 movie rental at Redbox?

Nah. Just like Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Out of Touch), Broward Democrats are woefully out of touch with the people of Broward county
