Fearing that even marginal voter preferences for tea party candidates could spell doom in November, Republicans now claim that the dozen or more Florida Tea Party candidates running for statehouse seats are part of some Sunshine State shenanigans.
In the meantime, however, the tea partiers want the U.S. attorney to investigate claims that tea party candidates are being intimidated and threatened. The Democrats, meanwhile, swear they have nothing to do with the Tea Party candidates, even though at least 3 of them were once registered to vote as members of the Democratic Party.
Damn! I may need more popcorn!
Just like the Republicans had nothing to do with Alvin Greene?
ReplyDeleteI guess I've been wrong all along... Democrats can learn how to fight dirty.
Welcome to my little slice of political insanity. AK aint got a THING on FL politics. We have decades more experience in that area.
ReplyDeleteAs a matter of fact a State rep was "expressing alarm that women were marrying animals when “animal husbandry” was raised in legislation."
Top that if ya can!

I am with ya sjk...I live in Florida and the politics are nuts
ReplyDeleteI grew up in a household of Daley democrats, give me Chicago-style politics any day
LMAO I can just see all those tiny minds trying to figure out what is going on.
ReplyDeletebws,
ReplyDeleteOur Elections Supervisor "lost" over a million bucks out of his budget, but he had thousands of pens with his face on it reminding folks to "Vote" while he was up for re-election, and is currently under Federal investigation....And the county has one current Commissioner with a nearly $500K legal bill in a sexual harassment suit that he loast, and the County Admin just got fired for cause after 30+ years....and on and on!
The woman in the photo for this posting, is pretty famous by now. She looks a LOT to me, like the kind of self-abasing type who you see interviewed by reporters, asking her WHY she goes along with being one of sixteen "wives" of some megalomaniac guy.
ReplyDeleteIt explains to me how it is that WOMEN are drawn to the Teabagger set...they feel they have no self worth, so go along with the mindset of how the female teabagger is to do her duty of wearing silly hats, carrying misspelled signs, and then is to move to the back and shut UP.
If only Sarah and Michelle would get in line, eh?
Florida? God bless Carl Hiassen and Alan Grayson.

ReplyDeleteDon't forget Debbie Wasserman Schultz. Go Debbie!
Gosh, I really respect Debbie Wasserman-Schultz. She is one smart, savvy woman and one Florida needs to keep in office. She, like Grayson, are known nationally and widely respected. I cannot place Carl Hiassen, though I know I've heard something good about him - the name registers but not his face or his record. Still, if a Floridian who reads this blog includes him with Grayson, I say - hurray! More power to the these three!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Canadian dude, the woman in the photo just looks like a beaten-down church lady - and I am only referring to the extreme fundamentalists when I say church lady. There are many strong and sane Christian women around who, surprise, are progressives.
ReplyDeleteMind you, I am not one of either type, preferring to shy away from organized religion. However, when people of good faith live their faith, any faith, without trying to push it on others either by conversion or through laws, then I am comfortable with that.
But these folks, no thanks. They are just as willfully ignorant and arrogant as Ms. SP.
Anon @ 7:11 PM. Carl Hiaasen is an excellent author who has written many books centered around the environmental havoc in Florida. Although the books are funny and sometimes quite convoluted, his message is profound. Check him out!
