Five of the seven Hillsborough County Commission seats are up for election next year. But one race is already getting heavy attention from conservatives.
The early target: Kevin Beckner, one of just two Democrats on the board.
here "It's really very unfortunate the way they've started off the campaign season, not even attacking me on the issues, but personally.
It seems to there is an intention to attempt character assassination on me.".......Kevin Beckner Kevin Beckner, Democrat, for Hillsborough County Commissioner, District 6.

What Was Alan Gross Doing in Havana? Since 1996, a small effort to stick our thumb in the island's eye developed with the formation of a "Cuba democracy program" within USAID to deliver "humanitarian aid" and "information" to "human rights and political activists" and families of dissidents. For years the democracy program's budget, about $2 million to start with, was funneled into grants to Cuban American groups in Miami that ostensibly used the money to somehow promote freedoms for Cubans still on the island.
Unfortunately, program funds were misused. A 2006 audit and investigation by the GAO highlighted taxpayer monies used to purchase Godiva chocolates, Nintendo GameBoys and cashmere sweaters. An alleged embezzlement scheme by another grantee was discovered in 2008, leading a member of the House to challenge USAID's annual program allocation, which had by then grown to $45 million per year. The agency agreed to more closely monitor its contractors, and soon after Alan Gross was hired via DAI to travel to Cuba. here

Ron Paul...... *Has voted against constitutional bans on same-sex marriage and flag burning, believing in individual expression.
*During a GOP debate in South Carolina in May, Paul said that if a person wants to shoot up with heroin, it's that person's choice, and the federal government should stay out of it.
*Paul was one of only six Republicans to vote against giving President George W. Bush the authority to wage war in Iraq and has long bemoaned U.S. intervention overseas. *Talking about the Cuban embargo, Paul said the U.S. policy has failed.
"If we wouldn't have had this embargo for 40 years, Castro would have been gone a long time ago,"
more I am not endorsing Mr. Paul and probably would never vote for him, but he is the only one that i see getting us out of the mess we are in. Ending the wars alone would help alot.
The governor, a proud bearer of the Republican Party’s deregulation standard, has spent his first half-year in office decrying government waste: He’s laid off thousands of Sunshine State employees, slashed their benefits, turned down (most of) the federal government’s health care dollars, and put extra financial pressure on Florida retirees and Medicaid recipients. But Scott and his dependents pay one-fifth what a janitor in the state Capitol pays for health insurance… and less than 3 percent of what a retired state trooper pays for life-saving coverage.

If you had purchased $1,000 of shares in Delta Airlines one year ago, you would have $49.00 today. If you purchased $1,000 of shares in AIG, you would have $33.00. If you purchased $1,000 of shares in Lehman Brothers, you would have $0.00 today.
But, if you purchased $1,000 worth of beer, drank all the beer, turned in the aluminum cans for recycling, you would have $214.00. Therefore the best current investment plan is to drink heavily & recycle.
It is called the 401-Keg Plan.
The existing sprawled out environment that dominates our landscape (and represents a huge investment of time, money, infrastructure, and dreams) is malfunctioning and there seems to be no clear understanding of how to fix it.
