End The War On The Cuban People

The Miami Cuban Mafia

Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, Robert Menendez, Lincoln Diaz-Balart, Mario Diaz-Balart, and Albio Sires.
It's Time To End The Embargo. It Has Been A Total Failure. This Policy Has Failed For The Past 50 Years. Fidel and Raúl Are Doing Just Fine. The Only Ones It Has Hurt Are The Cuban People. We Trade With China, We Trade With Vietnam. Whats Up With Cuba? It's Time We Vote These Right Wingers Out! Mr. Menendez And Mr. Sires, You Guys Are Democrats, You Should Know Better.

Arth Supporter Booted From Sink-Smith Event
A few days after independent gubernatorial candidate Michael E. Arth snuck into a photo with Rick Scott, one of Arth’s supporters was removed today from Democrat Alex Sink’s event in WPB for wearing an Arth button.

“It’s incredible to me that the police, escorted a little 58-year-old grandmother out of the meeting instead of protecting my democratic rights to be there. This just confirmed that the corporate monolith has taken over anything resembling a democracy. This is now about the wealthy and the well-connected.”......Melinda Clark

Allen West: People With ‘Coexist’ Bumper Stickers

“[A]s I was driving up here today, I saw that bumper sticker that absolutely incenses me. It’s not the Obama bumper sticker. But it’s the bumper sticker that says, ‘Co-exist.’ And it has all the little religious symbols on it. And the reason why I get upset, and every time I see one of those bumper stickers, I look at the person inside that is driving. Because that person represents something that would give away our country. Would give away who we are, our rights and freedoms and liberties because they are afraid to stand up and confront that which is the antithesis, anathema of who we are. The liberties that we want to enjoy.”.....Florida GOP Candidate Allen West

"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
