Florida Democratic Party ‘Bosses’ Out-Of-Touch

“Florida Democratic voters choose our party nominee, not out-of-touch party bosses sipping cognac in a smoke-filled room in Washington DC.,” Alan Grayson

“Progressives are the heart and soul of the Democratic Party in Florida and across the nation. We are the volunteers who stuff envelopes, knock on doors, and provide the grassroots energy that powers successful Democratic campaigns. The idea that a senator from Montana and Wall Street Democrats know better than rank-and-file Florida Democrats is both patronizing and unsurprising. Then again, no one knows better than Jon Tester that DSCC support 

doesn’t mean a whole lot." Susan Smith

Florida Fuck Fest 2015

Last week's legislative meltdown in Tallahassee, dramatic and dysfunctional as it was, doesn't appear to threaten the political future of Republicans who control both chambers of state government — or of anyone else in their party running for office in 2016.

Most GOP state lawmakers remain in safe, 

conservative-leaning districts. here

Florida's Right Wing Infestation

"The problem: Florida’s House of Representatives, with a few exceptions, has been infected and taken over by ideologues. Good people have succumbed to the delusion that it’s not enough to be conservative, but they have to be rock-hard, unwilling-to-bend-or-negotiate, right-wing fanatics." here

Winter Park Police Lack Of Evidence

Earlier this week, an unnamed police officer using a police union Facebook account posted about a restaurant called Miller’s Ale House in Winter Park, Florida. The post asserted that cooks at the restaurant were conspiring to spit in the food of any policeman who ordered from the restaurant.

Just one problem: there’s a compelling lack of something called “evidence.” Since I realize most modern-day police officers are unfamiliar with that term. here
