Hate Truly Is Stronger Than Compassion InThe GOP

And it is costing the party their logic, reason and good business sense. 

When you turn down health care for millions of citizens, billions of dollars and job creation out of spite, you are not representing the best interests of your constituents.

In Florida, the healthcare company Columbia/HCA, was fined $1.7 billion for Medicare fraud while Rick Scott, prior to being governor, was CEO. Now Scott doesn't want to let Florida's citizens receive the benefits from the Medicaid expansion. Florida will lose $5 billion.

Tampa Candidate's Photo Cuts Buckhorn From His Own Portrait

Is City Council candidate
Jackie Toledo 
using a campaign photo that
superimposes her own image on
Mayor Bob Buckhorn's
official city portrait?

It looks that way, say five  photography  experts who examined both photos.
Mayor Bob is not happy. Toledo's photo could mislead voters into thinking she has an endorsement he hasn't given.
"I knew I would be a lame duck someday, but I didn't think people would be Photoshopping me out of my own picture," he said. here
Are the pics of her with Iorio and Montelione 
also fake?

Oklahoma

Sooners have been putting solar panels on their homes to save on energy costs and reduce 

fossil-fuel pollution.

 The state's Republican-controlled government slapped a new "fee" – actually, a tax – on the bills of those who convert from grid takers to grid producers in the future.

It came from a secretive corporate front group called ALEC, the American Legislative Exchange Council.

I just don’t know where her loyalties lie. 

You know, for her to have been a veteran, a wounded warrior for the United States Army, she should know that this is not the right thing. And hopefully, you know, 

she will remember the oath of office 

that she took as an Army officer and not the allegiance I guess she believes she has to
