In July, I commented on a how a real Democrat won the primary for Montgomery County executive, and the party establishment there saw this as a threat to their bribes<\/strike> support from real estate developers, so they stood up a Democrat who changed her party registration for an independent bid to sabotage his run<\/a>.<\/div>\n

Well, now Nancy Floreen is trying to claim that she was really a Democrat the whole time<\/a>.<\/p>\n

She was never a Democrat. She was a tool of the developers who found pretending to be a Democrat was useful.<\/p>\n

It’s time for the Democratic Party of Montgomery County to tell her to pound sand, and say, “No backsies.”<\/p>\n

Montgomery County executive candidate Nancy Floreen says she will return to the Democratic fold after the Nov. 6 election \u2014 regardless of whether her independent bid for the liberal county\u2019s top post is successful. <\/p>\n

Floreen, a 16-year county council member and two-time delegate to the Democratic National Convention, left the party in July to make a surprise run for county executive, gathering enough petition signatures <\/a>to appear on the November ballot. <\/p>\n

The move was prompted by her opposition to the Democratic nominee<\/a>, 12-year council member Marc Elrich. It left some Democrats feeling betrayed. <\/p>\n

At a candidate debate Wednesday morning hosted by the Greater Bethesda U.S. Chamber of Commerce and moderated by Bethesda Magazine editor and publisher Steve Hull, Floreen said she would re-register as a Democrat if she\u2019s elected. <\/p>\n

Floreen later said she plans to return to the party regardless of the outcome of the election, \u201cbecause I am a Democrat at heart.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cI only changed parties in order to run the petition drive,\u201d she said. \u201cI\u2019ve been very upfront about that.\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

You are a contemptible piece of excrement, you’ve been very upfront about that.<\/p>\n

BTW, whenever you hear a corporate Democrat call for unity, know that it’s only a one way street.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
