Democrats and the left are inherently a sham with little actual grassroots support and the race for Florida's 18th Congressional District is yet another example of this truism.

◼ FLORIDA DEMS CAN'T FIND VOTERS TO PROTEST ALLEN WEST, SO THEY HIRE SOME - Warner Todd Huston at Big Government

Repeatedly and across the country we see unions, Democrats, and other far left groups planning rallies and protest marches but finding that they simply can't put bodies in the streets to make all the effort worthwhile. They just don't really have the support of the common man, the folks in the streets, to carry off these protest marches and rallies.

But these out of the mainstream groups do have a solution to this problem: the rent-a-protester. Whenever you see a left-wing protest, almost invariably you'll find that many of the folks walking around with signs in their hands were hired to be there. They are paid protesters, faux activists only there for some change in their pockets, not because they care anything about the issue being protested.
