"I have trouble listening to what he says sometimes because of the blood that drips from his teeth while he's talking."
******
******
"You can call me partisan if you want. But I see one party's leadership trying hard to solve this nation's problems. And the other party's leadership showing its true colors. They are callous sellouts. Always have been, always will be."
******
And our favorite
"We're dealing with people on the other side who are utterly unscrupulous. These are foot-dragging, knuckle-dragging Neanderthals who know nothing but 'no.'"

Corporate Welfare In Ybor City
Last summer, citing a Tampa economic development official, the Tampa Bay Times reported that a division of Ashley Furniture — one of the nation's biggest furniture brands — planned to move 300 employees into Centro Ybor. Neither Tampa Hillsborough Economic Development Corp. executives nor Ashley Furniture spokespeople offered any comment Wednesday on the expected Ashley expansion. here

Florida's Right Wing Infestation In Jacksonville
Former Republican Party of Florida (RPOF) Chairman Lenny Curry defeated Jacksonville Mayor Democrat Alvin Brown, 51% to 49%. 4 years ago Brown narrowly won office by positioning himself as a conservative Democrat who tried to avoid partisan politics. He said he wanted to work with Republican Gov. Rick Scott to bring jobs to the area and upset local Democrats by not appearing with President Barack Obama at a 2012 campaign rally. here
Mr. Brown when the folks want a Republican they vote for a real one.

Marco Rubio still doesn’t get it on Iraq
Was it a mistake to go to war in Iraq?
“No, I don’t believe it was. The world is a better place because Saddam Hussein doesn’t run Iraq,” he said, adding, “Hindsight is always 20/20, but we don’t know what the world would look like if Saddam Hussein was still there.” Marco Rubio

Florida GOP John Mica: Amtrak 'Soviet-style operation'
Less than 24 hours after the New York-bound train crashed, the Republican-led House Appropriations Committee voted to reduce grants to Amtrak by $252 million -- a drop of about 15% from last year's level. Mica suggested on CNN that opening the commuter rail market to private investment was the solution to what he called a "third-world rail system ... run in a Soviet-style operation." here

Pathetic Journalist Adam Smith Of The Tampa Bay Times
Several weeks ago, a highly
placed source within Patrick Murphy's campaign bragged that Chuck Schumer would
drive Alan Grayson out of the Florida Senate primary by unleashing a barrage of
opposition research about his business dealings. Schumer, easily the sleaziest Democrat in the Senate-- who is desperate
to please Wall Street banksters by delivering the open Florida seat to
Murphy-- twisted a perfectly innocent SEC filing into a smoking gun of
corruption. He then hired Queen Helena's p.r. assistant to find a pathetic
"journalist" willing to run it up the flag pole and get the tongues wagging.
Schumer did well in planting his bullshit bombshell with lazy would-be
muck-raker Adam Smith from the Tampa Bay Times, who was eager to make the
story about himself. here

Disgusting Subhuman Jason Falbo Of Palm Beach
Pointed his riding lawnmower towards a family of ducks and ran over them, the heartless man then turned around and ran over the ducklings again, while laughing and giggling about it. He was booked and charged with nine counts of animal neglect. He could not provide any explanation for his actions.

Local Treasure Marisol Marquez Of Raíces en Tampa
Growing up, before walking into class, I'd scrub my hands with soap and water to try to take off the green-tint, caused by cutting asparagus. Every morning, from February to July starting at 2 am - 6am I'd work the fields before school started. If I didn't scrub my hands raw, my school papers would turn green. here
