Rep. Wexler: Fraud and Hypocrite

Or business as usual for the Democrats.
Pam Geller at Altas Shrugged has a great post on Florida Representative Robert Wexler’s residential fraud:
One of the most liberal members of Congress in Florida Robert Wexler (Obamapropagandist and notorious leftist) is not a resident of his district. He has lived in Maryland since the late 90s. He claims to live in a house in Del Ray (owned by his mother-law) in an active adult community where no children are allowed, though he has three children). You can’t live there with kids, it’s against the rules of the community.
Another example of Democrat hubris - I am above the law. It seems he has no connection to Florida at all. Clearly it’s a phantom residence, he ain’t sleeping on monster-in-law’s couch with his three children.
Even though Wexler lives in Maryland, he doesn’t pay their state taxes. Instead, he pays under Florida’s system, which has no state tax. Be sure to read all of Geller’s post, as well as John Fund’s column on the issue. Not only does Rep. Wexler think he’s above the law, but he viciously goes after those he disagrees with when they don’t release their home addresses. Hans Bader of the Competitive Enterprise Institute writes:
For example, the conservative author and pundit Ann Coulter, who had been stalked for years by mentally-unbalanced admirers and detractors, followed advice to conceal her actual address by registering to vote at a house just up the street from her actual address, in the very same precinct. She had actually spent nights at the address she listed, and received her mail at that house, based on advice from the FBI. (Many states have laws that allow domestic violence victims to list a mailing address rather than their actual address for voting purposes, but such laws generally don’t extend to victims whose stalkers are strangers rather than intimates).
But when Wexler’s office found out about this, they screamed that this was voting fraud, and did everything they could to try to get the (liberal) local prosecutor to indict Coulter. For more than two years, Wexler’s staff publicly and repeatedly branded Coulter a felon for not registering to vote under her actual daily abode. They did so even though she did not violate the law, since the address she listed was in the same precinct as her actual daily abode.
