Can Barbara Sharief Tell A Straight Story?
BY BUDDY NEVINS
What’s the truth, Barbara Sharief?
You pledged not to meet with lobbyists. Then lobbyists Bernie Friedman, et. al., scheduled a fund raiser for you.
When news of it hit the media, you denounced the event. Friedman cancelled.
But the fund raiser that lobbyist George Platt, Sidney Calloway, Alex Heckler and company scheduled for you is still on for Thursday at downtown Fort Lauderdale’s The Tower Club.
Are you meeting with lobbyists or aren’t you?
We are quickly learning that you, Barbara Sharief, has an inability to tell a straight story.
Here is the fund raising e-mail distributed today.

How did she make her money in the private sector? Has ANYONE investigated this??

She is not ready for the big time. This will end with metal bracelets for her.

I am disgusted. America is disgusted with lying politicians. Obama promised change and the economy is worse than ever. He too, said he won’t work with the lobbyists. He lied. Sharief lied. If you lie you lose. Obama won’t win a 2nd term. As far as District 8 goes. Sharief, I’m sick and tierd of liars and cheats. You lose, too. I don’t want your values leading my family or community.

It’s very clear to many that Barbara is talented and not linked to any lobbyist….THAT’S WHY SHE USED HER OWN MONEY TO WIN. Who cares if she meets with them, she doesn’t owe them anything…she already won.
The establishment is afraid of her..Looks like Judy Stern & company are running scared!!! Since Castillo didn’t win, now she wants to sabotage Sharief. Get a life!

to Barbara Supporter!
Name one accomplishment of Sharief in public life. Can’t be done, there are none (Rhyme intended)!
She sits at the Miramar meeting and has less to say than a mute!!
She has proven to be a pathological liar over the past few week on this lobbying stuff. Trust me, Bernie is no saint, but he is not stupid enough to advertise a fundraiser without her approval.
She is BAD NEWS, and that’s the bottom line because Stone Cold says SO!!!!!!
