House Majority Leader Lopez-Cantera Calls on Bill Nelson to Apologize for Politicizing Capture of Osama Bin Laden
Tallahassee, Fla. - Florida House Majority Leader Carlos Lopez-Cantera (R-Miami) issued the following statement regarding a press conference held today by U.S. Senator Bill Nelson, hosted by Members of the House Democrat Caucus. During the press conference, Senator Nelson accused the Florida Legislature of trying to deny the right to vote to those soldiers who aided in the capture and killing of terrorist leader Osama Bin Laden.
"Senator Nelson's tactics amount to nothing more than an outrageous political stunt, motivated solely by his re-election campaign at the expense of our Armed Forces. His disgraceful suggestion that the Florida Legislature would attempt to diminish the voting rights of American heroes is offensive and untruthful, and I demand that Senator Nelson immediately apologize for politicizing what should be a moment of unity for our nation.
"As Americans, we should be celebrating the capture of Osama Bin Laden as a step forward in the war on terror, remembering the thousands of American citizens he killed and those who have lost their lives in the global war on terror. Instead, Senator Nelson is using this American victory as a campaign stunt, and that is deplorable.
"As a U.S. Senator, he should be focused on tackling our failed federal immigration policy, preserving the space coast economy, and pushing back against an administration that is threatening to raise taxes on job creators when Florida is experiencing record high unemployment."

Here is the comment by:
TALLAHASSEE — Florida Senate President Mike Haridopolos today made the following statement in response to United States Senator Bill Nelson’s comments on the election bill pending in the State Senate:
Today I stood on the Senate floor and congratulated President Obama for a job well done by bringing justice to the victims of the 9/11 terror attacks. Then a few hours later, Senator Bill Nelson stoops to a new low and plays political games by comparing pending legislation to a terrorist organization that has killed thousands of people. That is unbecoming of a United States Senator and a leader in our state. That kind of fear mongering is irresponsible. Instead of playing political games, we’re focused on passing a no-new taxes balanced budget, unlike Washington, D.C.
Bill Nelson should be ashamed of himself.
Nelson is using a tired old trick of Democrats - accusing Republicans of doing the very things Democrats are doing, just to distract attention from what they, themselves, do. Obama does it all the time.
Further, the Democrats have an army of about 20,000 lawyers who go around after general elections demanding recounts and trying to block military votes. Thousands of military votes never get counted or are challenged by these unscrupulous lawyers. When they can challenge a close race, they always find "lost," "misplaced," or "uncounted boxes of votes" in the trunk of somebody's car...or "a closet or file cabinet in somebody's office." And they actually think we're ignorant enough to believe them. In the 2000 election in Florida, they even found a voting machine in a Democrat legislator's car trunk.
In the 1996 election, Al Gore organized a successful effort to naturalize ca. 1 million immigrants that had not even had their FBI background checks, as required; then they were registered to vote and bussed to the polls and told how to vote. In the 2008 election, the Obama organizers bussed people across state lines to vote in state caucuses in order to beat Hillary Clinton for the nomination. They wouldn't be Democrats if they weren't lying, cheating, stealing elections, and blaming Republicans for everything they, themselves, do wrong.
Also, many voting machines have been found to have viruses that register a person's vote for a candidate other than the one they voted for. Many voting machines are purchased from a company partly owned by Hugo Chavez, dictator of Venezuela. Cheating must be in Democrats' socialist genes. The safest way to vote is to vote at the designated voting precinct on election day, not by absentee or early voting, because on election day at the polls the votes are immediately tallied/recorded. Standing in line to cast a safer vote isn't really all that painful.
Bill Nelson is probably still smarting from the smackdown he got on High Speed Rail. He will be a prime target in the 2012 election, along with 23 other Democrat Senators who will be resigning or standing for re-election, whereas only 10 Republican Senators will be. If we don't take back the Senate, it won't be because the odds aren't in our favor.
Heaven's they will use anything. I'm sure they would have put Osama on ice until the day before the election if so many Seals were not there to tell on them. This is just the start people, you won't believe what they will do in the coming months.
Ronald Robertson, Thanks for putting Col. Mike McCalister's web site on. I got to meet him and hear a speech he gave. One sharp man.
It may be true and glad he got one right..but will be glad when this man is out of office.
Nelson and his party is a fraud. He makes a statement about the "rights of the military" to vote.
How come he did not mention he thinks its okay for them to vote but the Democrat's still would like it that they not be counted. Mail their ballots late and don't count them in the election when received.
If you're not already aware. This is what's going on in DC while dangerous criminals are allowed back out on the streets. It's horrifying that this is happening to our citizens and veterans for protesting the hijacking of our election process. This is still happening! They are STILL being tortured and treated like full on terrorists.
You may not be aware of the typical things they're forced to go through...…
