Typical ; the man does not even own a House in Florida which means that he is not paying property taxes , insurance , taxes to the county , city , school board , utilities , sales taxes to State . No wonder he is such an advocate for increasing taxes and any other fee ; he does not pay them in Florida . HE EXTRACTS CAPITAL FROM FLORIDA ONLY AND LIES ABOUT HIS OFFICIAL RESIDENCE . HE AND THE GOVERNOR ARE NOT BEST FRIENDS FOR NOTHING . THE GOVERNOR DOES NOT OWN A HOME IN FLORIDA EITHER .NEITHER OF THEM CAN FEEL OUR PAIN ! No wonder this fast talking Congressman is speaks to us as if he rules the world . The man thinks that we are stupid .Watch this , not one his fellow South Florida Coongresspersons is giong to say a word . Their lips are going to be glued together . Where is Meeks , Wasserman-Schultz , Hastings , Klein and company when Ethics are in question ; hiding in the background trying not to noticed and asked a question !

What's new, rules are made for the politicians to break. Screw Mr. & Mrs. America and ride on their backs to glory land of $$$$$'s.
I can see one day when no decent person will want to hold office in this country. Oh, not many decent ones left now.
Let's you and me try to register a car or get a drivers license in another state, we would be taken to jail.

I'm glad to see that Carpetbagging Bob Wexler has defenders like this "Joe Reed" in Arizona!
Wexler is nothing but a carpetbagging New York Jew, who should be representing the Queens neighborhoods of Forest Hills and Rego Park in the House of Representatives, not Southern Palm Beach and Northern Broward Counties!
IMPEACH THIS ULTRA-LIBERAL CREEP NOW!
Your comments were making sense until you brought the "Jew" into it. You then lost all credibility.

Wexler is the same weasel that tried to accuse Bush in 2000 of "stealing" the election. Now he gets a taste of his own medicine. Life is good.

By the way, wait until the news about John Edwards and his mistress and alleged love child hits the stands. He can kiss his VP shot goodbye after cheating on his wife with cancer.

I don't care what anyone says. Republican might screw-up from time to time, but they at least feel remorseful and apologize when they get caught. These Democrat scumbags will lie on the grandmother's grave if it will get them out of hot water.

This is the very simple minded ignorance that you get when you are a complete and blinded loyalist! This mental midget talks about everything and everyone except the facts at hand. A government dependent moron that can’t think past his next welfare check! People this is not about O’Reilly, or Bush, or Republicans, or Democrats etc, etc, etc. This is about a do nothing congressman who lacks integrity and has done absolutely nothing to effectively represent his constituents! I just love it when people say that he covered nothing up. He registered his cars and his place of residency as South Florida when in fact he lives full time in Maryland! HELLO, can you hear me now????? I live in this clowns district and can tell you first hand this guy is a big zero who keeps getting voted back in by a dumbed down electorate that can’t think past the end of their noses!! His only claim to fame is managing to get the finest Supervisor of Elections Palm Beach County has ever seen, Theresa LePore, throw out and replaced with that total incompetent, Anderson!!! People this guy doesn’t give a dam about South Florida or the people of his district! He is a self-serving politician who needs to gooooooooo!!!!

Congressman Wexler and his sidekick Congressman Alcee "Impeached Judge" Hastings both know how to play the game, bend the rules and probably break laws with no one knowing about it.

The Wexler - Hastings duo do not represent WE THE PEOPLE, they represent their own selfish interests in improving and continuing their lifestyles of the rich n' famous.

On August 26th VOTE THESE TWO PARASITES OUT OF OFFICE !

Gee, I thought everyone knew when your representative was elected to Congress, they pretty much moved to DC. Many of you people are certainly getting upset about a silly issue. If you used this anger on something important, like the shredding of the Constitution and Bill of Rights over the last 7 years, that might be a little more constructive?

I'm stunned; Robert Wexler lied?!
Robert Wexler is (in)famous for making outrageously inflammatory statements on TV and in the news-usually lies.

The reason he still gets elected-the media doesn't thoroughly investigate politicians THEY AGREE WITH.

After printing and and mass distribution of lies about Fox News, Wexler has the nerve to become the "victim". People who live in glass houses (in Maryland)shouldn't throw stones.

Wexlers response: What I did is not illegal. Legal or illegal, it's still unethical and deceitful to the people who pay his salary.

Bottom Line: This is NOT his residence- it's a 55 + Community-

He is scamming us ...he might try to use some obselete loophole..... IT IS NOT HIS RESIDENCE.

Look, I'm a loyal Democrat, but Wexler and others like him, regardless of party affiliation, should resign and become lobbyists or whatever. They don't own property in their home districts, they don't pay their fare share of taxes there (so they deprive their home states and counties of important tax revenue like our Governor does),(and I'm sure Wexler doesn't pay Maryland income taxes either) and they don't really live there day to day, so how can they represent us in Washington DC when they don't even know what it's like to own a home, insure it, pay property taxes, and endure the bad decisions and whims of our local and state governments? It's shameful, but peopple like Wexler have no shame.
Yep, democrat or republican our representatives need to LIVE in the area/state they represent.

This is even happening in the local level of government.

Commissioner Kanjian does not live with his family in the district he represents. He lives with his family in Jeff Koon's district. Kanjian has sought historic designation for the residence.

Susan Bucher, professional politician - she is term-limited, has moved 4 times in and out, in and out of a district so that she can run for Supervisor of Elections.

Are these the people we want to represent us. They are already lying about where they live just imagine when they get into office.

Representatives need to LIVE in the area they represent. This "loophole" in legal terms needs to be tightened.

Vote out incumbents.

NONSENSE!!!

Theresa LePore was an idiot. The county hasn't even finished paying the $14 million it paid for the touch screen voting machines she forced down our throats that now have to be sold as scrap metal. She was an arrogant bureaucrat that had to go.

Yet another example of a politicians serving as a role model for young folks everywhere. Hey kids, when the question becomes "Is Mr, Wexler a Flroida resident?", don't forget to say that it depends on the definition of "is". And with great irony, plead that he just wants to spend more time with his kids, but somehow his "offical residence" is over 55 only. Could it be that he is far more comfortable with the permanent governing class in DC than the folks in hometown Florida?

The shamelessness of this man is reason enough to kick him to the curb, which will be a curb in Maryland, where he will begin his next career as a lobbyist no doubt.

Typical politician completely out of touch with Florida, definitely an "inside-the-beltway" kind of person. I would like to know exactly how many days (maybe actually it should be measured in hours) he actually spent in the State of Florida over the last year. I agree that this is a ruse, and he should be disqualified as a representative of Florida.

Why didn't O'Reilly bring up the issue of John and Cindy not paying taxes on a home in California. Oops, I forgot, they only target Democrats. Thin-skinned Bill needs to stop targeting liberals only, and try living up to his "fair and balanced", "no spin" example. He, the sexual harrasser, has no room to talk about, with his sordid past. Hope Wexler trounces his Repulsivecan rivals.

When is the Federal grand jury going take up this matter? If this is fraud it needs to be prosecuted. Wexler is just as honest as Foley? At least Foley got off the front page for a while.
