Alex Sink Is No Progressive
"Like all Floridians, I'm grateful for our constitutional right to freedom of religion... When it comes to what to build close to the hallowed site of Ground Zero, I think it ought to be up to the people of New York City to decide. It is my personal opinion that the wishes of the 9/11 families and friends must be respected. They are opposed to this project and I share their view."......Alex Sink "The Bill of Rights doesn't mean we get to pick and choose who is protected under the Constitution. Sink is running for the most power office in Florida. She should be mindful that our laws protect everyone.".....Michael Hussey

Five Of The Most Dangerous People In Florida Politics

These people are a threat to your children’s future.
The Evolution Of Tampa’s Franklin Street
Tampa’s DoorstepThe city’s first electric lights lined Franklin by 1887. It was the first in the city to be paved, the first to have sidewalks. The city’s first brick building, the Bank of Tampa, was built on Franklin in 1886. In 1885, Tampa’s first streetcar, a steam-powered contraption with passenger cars similar to a freight train’s, rambled up a sand-covered Franklin on a narrow track to a nascent Ybor City. By 1900, electric streetcars traveled up and down the street on 21 miles of track connecting downtown to Ybor, West Tampa, Sulphur Springs and Ballast Point.

Michael E. Arth Interviews Rick Scott
Okay, I admit that the term “interview” is an exaggeration. Rather than focusing on past sins or scandals, which you will also read about here, the most outrageous facts concern our political system, and how something far worse than individual malfeasance threatens the very foundations of our democracy.here
Michael E. Arth For Governor Of Florida
Howard Dean/Alan Grayson 2012
"Rahm Emanuel has made a career bashing progressives and supporting conservative Democrats. The Gibbs outburst was just a public display of how the White House feels about the progressives that helped put them in power. That is why I firmly support progressive Democrats running against Obama in 2012. I would support Grayson or Howard Dean over Obama in a heart beat.".......Michael Hussey

District Six School Board Hopefuls On Religion's Role
"I support Science in the classroom, and I think that you get into an area where it's going to be very very divisive if we start having conversations about teaching religion in a science classroom classroom.".....April Griffin "I am a strong Christian. However, I believe that religious values are something that should be taught in the home, not in school. I feel that we should build our education program around education.".....Sally Harris
"There's a definite line between church, and state, and the need to not think about religion in a classroom, and understand it's there. But when we're talking about being abstinent, or when we're talking about intelligent design, those are valid subjects.".....Benjamin Fink
I believe that they chose the wrong path, and I lobbied diligently to get them to re-think that decision because it is only a theory. And to exclude other theories in view of one theory, to me is not education. That's indoctrination.".....Terry Kemple

The Tampa Bay Crackers
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers, despite being a doormat for much of their franchise history, do have a pretty cool name. Really, most things get ratcheted up a coolness level when pirates are involved. It must be a relief, therefore, to everyone associated with the Bucs when they ponder what the team’s name could have been. Because it could have been…the Crackers.here

Republican Ira William "Bill" McCollum, Jr.
"I really do not think that we should have homosexuals guiding our children. I think that it’s a lifestyle that I don’t agree with. I realize a lot of people do. It’s my personal faith, religious faith, that I don’t believe that the people who do this should be raising our children. It’s not a natural thing. You need a mother and a father. You need a man and a woman. That’s what God intended.".......Bill McCollum
