GOP: The Party Of Nothing

Something To Think About Before You Vote
The Florida Senate has been under Republican control since 1992, the Florida House since 1996, and we've had a Republican governor since 1999. If you think Florida's economy is the result of national laws and policies, please take note that the U.S. House and Senate were controlled by Republicans for 11 of the last 15 years and the presidency was held by a Republican for eight of the last 10 years.

It is not logical to blame President Barack Obama for failing to clean up the economic mess created by Republicans holding national and state office in less than two years.

If you are unhappy with the state of Florida's economy, "something different" would be to replace the Republicans who created this mess with some Democrats who might be able to clean it up.

Why would anyone besides the wealthy belong to this party, How does someone vote against their own self intrest?

The Republicans took control of Florida in 1975 when the conservative, pro business and crooked Democrats formed an alliance against progressive Democrats with a united Republican minority in the legislature. Dempsy Barron and others later changed parties to R and in the 90's they took over in their own name.
Sarah Palin came to Orlando last Saturday to urge us to vote against the status quo. I will. I'll vote for Democrats and 5 and 6.
