The GOP Carnage Has Begun

First Amanda Murphy a Democrat from New Port Richey beats Bill Gunter who had the support of the state GOP and Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross,  who spent $75,000 in the last weeks of the campaign. And now Democrat Cory Booker slides into victory in New Jersey. A Tea Party Republican has been soundly defeated and thus denied entry into the Senate, The Tea Party guy Steve Lonegan ran an embarrassing campaign, resorting to questioning Booker’s sexual orientation in lieu of focusing on the issues facing the state and the country....more And their man Ken Cuccinelli up in Virginia is also losing. 

Hey Marco Rubio, The Christ Was A Liberal

He cared about his fellow man. He promoted peace. He cleansed his fathers temple of greed and profit. He would never condone you and your cohorts. You and the rest of the so called Christians are nothing but a bunch of hypocrites. You guys would of been the mob screaming for his execution. Stop hiding behind our Christ, you are Insulting us.

Read what Mr. Rubio had to say at the Values Voter Summit.

Democrat Amanda Murphy Wins

What makes Murphy’s win impressive is Gunter had support of the state GOP, including a full-throated voter drive by state heavyweights Attorney General Pam Bondi, House Speaker Will Weatherford and Rep. Richard Corcoran. Gunter had a solid fundraising session, with a total of $165,440, including $211,423 of “in-kind” contributions, with state party and House leadership funds. Towards the end, the race against Murphy became negative, especially when two groups – Florida Jobs First and Citizens for Fairness — paid for pro-Gunter negative attack ads that may have helped Murphy more than hurt. One round of television spots attacking Murphy came from Florida Jobs First, a PAC started by Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross, which spent $75,000 in the last weeks of the campaign. The republican stench will linger. Congratulations Ms. Murphy!

Fouling Florida's Environment

Here on the southeast coast, the Indian River Lagoon, the St. Lucie River and its estuary are being polluted like never before — perhaps irreversibly — by an algae slime that proliferates from excess manure, sewage and fertilizer released by municipalities and, of course, from Lake Okeechobee. Research clearly shows that most of the nutrients flowing into Lake Okeechobee come from tributaries in the northern Everglades. This is Big Sugar country, the Everglades Agricultural Area, where most of the nation's sugarcane is grown........more

Elected officials and others have known for more than 30 years about our nutrient-rich water problems, but they consistently have put business interests ahead of eliminating the sources of the pollution.

Tampa Students Protest Homophobic Speaker

Members of Tampa Bay Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) protested against Rosaria Butterfield, a self-described former “radical lesbian feminist turned pastor’s wife.” Butterfield now writes and gives lectures opposing homosexuality and advocating for evangelical Christianity. She believes that homosexuality is a sin and that her pride in being a lesbian was an even greater sin. Under the watchful guard of Tampa Police, private security and USF administrators, the protesters stood for the entirety of her speech as onlookers took pictures and gave approval to the protest act.
