Patrick Murphy In Damage Control
Sean Phillippi's effort at diverting attention away from Patrick Murphy's Syrian refugee vote at the Florida Squeeze
----------
What our leader Susan Smith had to say:
"This post is an effort at damage control by Murphy’s campaign. They think they can divert attention away from his Syrian refugee vote by attacking Grayson. It’s sad that Murphy doesn’t ever have anything positive to say about himself." #47cowards

I have never seen a cut of beef like this before. I could not eat it. It could be a thin Ribeye, but I think it was cat. Beware of what you order here, If you dare to eat there. This is what I get for ordering

Beautiful Words From Laila Abdelaziz
On this day, (11.20) 24 years ago, I was born in an occupied land to a very brave mama and a very strong baba. My entrance to this world didn't dignify a birth certificate, as I was born on a land under military rule and for that military power to acknowledge another human prisoner would be silly and self-defeating. So there I was, a baby with no papers in a land ruled by guns and water shortages, travel restrictions and curfews, broken dreams and hopeless promises. Generations of broken dreams and hopeless promises. more
No Separation Of Church And State In Hillsborough County
Idlewild Baptist Church a decidedly conservative church in Lutz has monthly events where Hillsborough County teachers hang out. They get free t-shirts and coffee.
----------
Please note: Idlewild leaders have spoken out against gay marriage. Prominent members have included Bill Bunkley, a conservative radio personality, and Randy Armstrong, who led a constitutional initiative against tax-funded abortions. Republican presidential hopefuls stump at Idlewild during campaign season.
----------
"I'm not comfortable at all," said Susan Smith, president of the Democratic Progressive Caucus of Florida who is skeptical when church leaders say they are not recruiting. District leaders point out that Idlewild can help them meet children's sometimes pressing needs — needs that, in Smith's view, should be fully funded by the state. Instead, Smith said, "we have to beg billionaires for money and we have to beg churches for money."
Stand with Alan Grayson
What do terrorists want?
To change people’s religions?
No. They want to cause terror. And this week, when my opponent Patrick Murphy voted to block Syrian refugees from entering our country because he was terrified, he gave them exactly what they wanted.

"How can the 47 Democrats, including Patrick Murphy and Gwen Graham, who voted with Republicans yesterday on the SAFE Act live with themselves?" Susan Smith

"What would Jesus do?" Jeremy Bivins

Mr. Murphy you can be sure that we will do everything in our power that you never get elected to anything ever again! And Ms. Graham if there is a God may he/she forgive you! We are all atheist at this blog and care more about humanity then you ever will. The Episcopal Church should be ashamed to have you as a member.

Words From Our Leader Susan Smith
Democratic Progressive Caucus of Florida President Susan Smith has released the following statement:
The Democratic Progressive Caucus of Florida applauds the courage of U.S. House members who opposed the American Security Against Foreign Enemies (SAFE) Act of 2015. This legislation would effectively halt the acceptance of Syrian refugees into the United States.
In these troubled times when Republicans and some Democrats are stoking fear for political gain, we as Florida Democrats are proud to be represented by Corrine Brown, Kathy Castor, Ted Deutch, Lois Frankel, Alan Grayson, Alcee Hastings, Debbie Wasserman Schultz and Frederica Wilson. We thank them for demonstrating a commitment to American values by voting against the SAFE Act.
----------
The Democratic Progressive Caucus of Florida is a chartered caucus of the Florida Democratic Party.

Florida DINOS Gwen Graham And Patrick Murphy Chose Fear Over Humanity
Gwen Graham, Patrick Murphy only two Florida Dems to vote for Syrian refugee crackdown. here
"Fear-mongering, hateful and an embarrassment to the Democratic Party." Susan Smith
"Patrick Murphy chose fear over humanity when he voted in favor of a Republican bill that will make it nearly impossible for Syrian refugees fleeing terrorism in their homeland to come to the United States.
We’re not sure whether it was Patrick Murphy’s fear of orphans and widows with brown skin that caused him to vote for this atrocious bill, or if it was his fear of going against the Republican Party. But, either way, he chose fear over humanity. Hate, over love. He has proven once again that he doesn’t have the courage to do what is right when times are hard. And we can’t have another person like that in the US Senate."
