The Democratic establishment has dropped all pretenses, and they are now squarely in the pocket of big business. If you need proof, take Senator Harry Reid's recent confrontation with Congressman Alan Grayson, where Reid told Grayson - a champion of progressive values - that he wants him to lose his Senate race against corporate-friendly "Democrat" Patrick Murphy.

Floridians Want The Clean Power Plan
Last year, Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi joined a lawsuit suing the EPA to stop the Clean Power Plan (CPP) from being enacted. Since then, the Supreme Court has issued a stay on implementation of the plan that would place the nation’s first-ever limits on carbon pollution from power plants. Bondi claims it’s what the people of Florida want, yet the numbers prove the contrary. here

Just 16 percent said they'd vote no. Support is greater than 70 percent among every category pollsters analyzed, regardless of political party, gender, education, age and ethnicity. here

Florida Dems Can’t Live Without Alan Grayson
His far-left brand is out of place with Florida’s swingy politics. His penchant for controversy doesn’t go over well with many of Florida’s older Democratic voters. And the establishment wing of the Democratic Party wants him out, out, out — out of the Senate race, out of Congress and, preferably, out of Florida politics altogether.
But despite (or perhaps because of) all that, Rep. Alan Grayson is a figure in Florida politics — a perplexing, divisive figure, but a figure nonetheless, and one who may represent a younger, more liberal, anti-establishment wing of the Democratic Party that Florida Democrats can’t live without. here
People at the highest levels of Democratic politics are actively and publicly trying to undercut his Senate primary campaign against Rep. Patrick Murphy for the seat being vacated by Marco Rubio.

Florida GOP Kelli Stargel Of Polk County
Polk County Republican Sen. Kelli Stargel sponsored one of the most controversial bills passed by the Florida Legislature in the 2016 session. An abortion measure that prohibited state funding for routine care at abortion clinics, and placed requirements for physicians similar to a Texas law currently under review by the U.S. Supreme Court. here
Fellow Republican Matt Hudson (State power grab), said that he was outraged to learn that though the state does not fund Planned Parenthood, “there were eight county health departments that took it upon themselves without legislative authority on their own to enter into contracts with them,” a move he said he was able to end during the last Legislative Session.

Susan Smith Rant
"Democratic powers-that-be support Blue Dogs/DLC/New Dems (many of whom are former Republicans). When these weak Democrats win, party leaders spend all of their time complaining that these DINOs won't work together with the caucus. The DINOs vote with Republicans giving them "bi-partisan" cover for shitty legislation. Voters then stay home at election time because they are disappointed in Democrats and don't know what we stand for." Susan Smith

How Payday Lenders Invested In Florida INC.
Payday lenders have donated about $2.5 million to Florida politicians and both political parties in recent years, according to a new analysis by a liberal group.
The group gave the Miami Herald an advanced copy of its new report, “A Florida Plan: How payday lenders bought Florida’s political establishment.” The report lists donations given to federal and state candidates as well as the state’s Republican and Democratic parties since 2009.
Overall, Republicans received $1.6 million and Democrats received about $890,000, while $29,000 went to independents. But the top individual recipients were South Florida Democrats:
▪ U.S. Rep. Alcee Hastings of Delray Beach: $110,700;
▪ Former U.S. Rep Kendrick Meek, who ran for the U.S. Senate in 2010: $72,800;
▪ U.S. Rep. Patrick Murphy of Jupiter, who is running for the Senate: $51,000;
▪ Wasserman Schultz of Weston: $50,600.
The Republican Party of Florida received $1,083,447, and the Florida Democratic Party received about $366,500.
