David Jolly: Incompetent Cradle Robber

Washington Republicans
Have described Jolly’s campaign as a Keystone Cops operation,
marked by inept fundraising,
top advisers stationed hundreds of miles away from the district in
The state capital
and the poor optics of a just-divorced, 41-year-old candidate
accompanied on the campaign trail by a girlfriend 14 years his junior.
 The sources would speak only on condition of anonymity.

Florida Man Shoots Cop, Invokes Stand Your Ground!

If there’s two things Florida residents know to fear, it’s anyone with a badge, a gun or both. These days, stories of Florida police kidnapping, raping, murdering or otherwise brutalizing unarmed people are so commonplace that “fleeing and eluding” officers has become less of a crime and more an act of self-preservation......more
 
Bookies in Tampa are now making odds on how long it will be before the state legislature either drops SYG, or modifies it so it doesn’t apply to police officers. Current odds are 26-to-1 on the latter by the end of the month, and 26,000-to-1 on the former through eternity.

Florida GOP Wants To Wipe Out Small Town

The Florida state government is so embarrassed by the
City of Hampton
and it takes a lot to embarrass those folks up in Tallahassee
it wants to wipe the small town off the map.
 Drug dealing Mayor, cops sitting along 301 in lawn chairs  pointing radar guns at passing cars, and an estimated $1 million missing from the town’s coffers.

Moral Monday Rally At Florida State Capitol

More than 200 people from Jacksonville, Orlando and Miami met at the steps of The Old Capitol in Tallahassee for Florida’s first Moral Monday rally, March 3. The rally was modeled after the giant Moral Monday rallies in North Carolina. Moral Mondays are a response to the North Carolina General Assembly’s extreme right-wing attacks on working people, women, immigrants and African Americans. Facing the Florida legislature's equally extreme right-wing politicians and Republican Governor Rick Scott, protesters demanded a state government committed to justice for working
and oppressed people.......more>

Will Weatherford: Fuck The Poor

According to his father,
the family accepted more than $100,000 in Medicaid dollars to pay the bills of Weatherford’s cancer-stricken 13-month-old brother,
who died in 1995.
 Weatherford has refused to consider having Florida accept $51.3 billion in Medicaid funds. Weatherford has vowed that no bill for increased Medicaid dollars will pass through the Florida House of Representatives. There are currently 3.3 million uninsured in Florida.

  Floridians are still getting taxed for Medicaid.
Regardless of whether or not they receive the benefits.
 once again making the poor suffer for GOP policies.

Wake Up Pasco County!
