Will You Dumb Redneck Conservative

Tea Party Asswipes Make Up Your Fuckin Minds Please!
I know I'm a Black Guy and what I say is going to come across as racist, but I want to ask why is Middle White America (and many whites in general) so fucking stupid and easily led astray by assholes like Glen Beck, Rush Limbaugh and other conservatives who plant stories about President Obama being a Socialist, Marxist, Racist when all they are doing is spreading false propaganda for ratings and money.

2010 City of Tampa Holiday Greetings

Thank You Ohio And Wisconsin

Republicans Scott Walker Of Wisconsin And John Kasich of Ohio
Espoused Opposition To Rail Expenditures And Declined To Use The Money For Rail.
So the The U.S. Department of Transportation with stunning swiftness redirected $342 million to Florida on Thursday to complete financing the construction of a high-speed rail line between Tampa and Orlando. Ohio and Wisconsin voters this is what you get when you elect shortsighted wing-nuts. Thanks for the money, we will put it to good use.

I know what you are thinking, Florida just did the same thing. ie...Rick Scott.
Update: Scott won't commit to accepting federal money for high-speed rail.

Birther And Gun Nut Luke Scott Of De Leon Springs

"(Obama) was not born here, That's my belief. I was born here. If someone accuses me of not being born here, I can go — within 10 minutes — to my filing cabinet and I can pick up my real birth certificate and I can go, 'See? Look! Here it is. Here it is.' The man has dodged everything. He dodges questions, he doesn't answer anything."......Luke Scott

Dick Greco: Tampa’s Norman Rockwell

One local voter who shared his negative views on Greco would only give his first name out of fear Greco might win and somehow seek retribution; although settling a score seems highly un-like Greco.

“Tom” comes from a fifth generation Tampa family. He’s a small businessman who deeply cares about the community and has a strong and unflattering opinion about Greco’s previous four terms as mayor.

“He’s never done anything good for Tampa. He’s a good P.R. man and he likes to party, but he hasn’t done anything creative and has no vision. He’s spent our kids into poverty with all these bonds.
More On What Chris Ingram Has To Say.

Republican Charlie Crist Backs Mr. Greco.
