I Am Bill “Big Oil” Young

Accountability
One of his staunchest allies, GOP Congressman Bill “Big Oil” Young just announced his retirement. This is BIG NEWS for three reasons:

1. Congressman Young’s announcement comes just days after a new poll showing him LOSING his re-election race.
2. This is a winnable race -- President Obama won this district just last year.
3. Young’s not the only one -- there are 16 other House Republicans losing their races after the Republican government shutdown......here

Florida GOP Leaders Back Cruz

While the government is shutdown hundreds of top state Republican Party donors and officials celebrated their party’s political success at a party in Disney World last week. The party is sending letters of support to Cruz and others in Congress who backed him. Hard-core party activists in the crowd weren’t worried about the shutdown, Jorge Bonilla, who hopes to run in 2014 against liberal bad-ass Rep. Alan Grayson of Orlando, called the shutdown “regrettable” and “an unfortunate failure of leadership,” which of course he blames on the Democratic-controlled Senate and
