In general, Wasserman Schultz is the living, breathing embodiment of everything rotted and corrupt about the Democratic Party: a corporatist who overwhelmingly relies on corporate money to keep her job, a hawk who supports the most bellicose aspects of U.S. foreign policy, a key member of the “centrist” and “moderate” pro-growth New Democrat coalition, a co-sponsor of the failed Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA), which was “heavily backed by D.C. favorites including the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the music and motion picture industries” and would have allowed extreme control over the internet. here

Up comes the powerful ocean, threatening people, property and the underground freshwater supply. here
“I don’t have a plan to influence the weather, can’t control nature." Marco Rubio
“It wouldn’t be on my first page of things that wake me up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat.” Jeb Bush

Florida's Fresh Water Crisis
Touted as an environmental breakthrough, the water policy bill passed last week by the Florida GOP Legislature is actually a major win for polluters and the politicians they own. The plan allows Big Ag operators to supervise their own waste releases, which is a fantasy come true for those who pollute.
Sympathetic legislators went even farther, inserting in the law a “cost-share” provision that directs water-management districts to use tax dollars to subside Big Ag’s anti-pollution efforts.
In other words, the public will be paying farm corporations to do something they should pay for themselves

Marco Rubio Buys Handgun To Fight ISIS
“I have a right to protect my family if someone were to come after us,” he said Sunday on Meet the Press.
“In fact, if ISIS were to visit us, or our communities, at any moment,
the last line of defense between ISIS and my family is the ability that I have to protect my family from them, or from a criminal, or anyone else who seeks to do us harm. Millions of Americans feel that way.” here
