Why we worry about Martinez: his "friends"

Via the Tallahassee Democrat

''With some people, the issue of amnesty is a litmus test and anything short of a concentration camp is amnesty,'' said Paul Senft Jr., a retired insurance agent and RNC member who has one of Florida's three votes in the RNC election.

Senft, a former Polk County commissioner, said he received a number of mailings from Martinez critics aimed at swaying his vote this week.

At least five of those mailings came from StopMartinez.com and were discussions of Martinez's poor record as a Senate candidate and other disqualifying factors in addition to his out of the mainstream views on amnesty for illegal aliens. You can read all five reasons for yourself here.

If Martinez backers feel compelled to so demonize Martinez critics, perhaps the RNC election this week is closer than they'd prefer.
