Super Tuesday’s Biggest Loser: Rush Limbaugh

The truly most divisive figure in the 2008 race is not Hillary Clinton, it’s John McCain. His ascendancy has ripped the Republican Party asunder — and his most vicious and vocal conservative opponents include the loudest mouths in America: Ann Coulter, Sean Hannity and, especially, Rush Limbaugh. As has been stated here before, it is too early to write the obituaries for the conservative movement, but the results from the Feb. 5, 2008, primary do provide evidence that these Reagan era dinosaurs are losing their sway among their own kind........here

Florida Voters Sign Sworn Statements As To How They Voted

Voters, in fact the majority, were actually filling out the poll—it could also be called a survey—AND printing their names at the top and signing a statement swearing, affirming, or attesting that they voted the way they did. This form was drawn up by people with law degrees, Mark Adams being the mastermind, to stand up in court to PROVE fraud, if the official count differs significantly, especially if the candidate winning was not the one to receive the majority of votes.......here

Right Rallies To Halt John McCain

It was in 1999 that McCain decided to mount his first challenge for the Republican presidential nomination. He ran against Bush and quickly fell victim to some of the dirtiest tricks on record in a White House race. False rumours circulated in South Carolina that he had fathered an illegitimate black child. Then it was suggested that his Vietnam prison experiences had left him mentally unhinged and prone to fits of rage. Bush strolled to the nomination.......here

The ad cost about $500,000 and will air in all Florida markets during the Super Bowl.......here

Federal officials on Friday suspended the development permit for Cypress Creek Town Center, the regional mall under construction at the junction of State Road 56 and Interstate 75 in Wesley Chapel.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers suspended the Richard E. Jacobs Group's wetland-fill permit because of mud that escaped the mall site after heavy rains in late January. The mud fouled Cypress Creek, which flows along the mall site's west and south sides.
