Marco Rubio Calls For Strikes

Since he arrived on Capitol Hill in 2011, Rubio's been more interventionist on American foreign policy than his potential tea party-backed rivals. And recent international turmoil has given the freshman senator from West Miami a chance to demonstrate the kind of foreign policy he'd wage if he becomes president 
after the 2016 election......here

Florida Transgender Community Aided by President Obama

With little of the fanfare or criticism that marked his evolution into the leader Newsweek nicknamed 
“The first gay president,” 
Obama became the first chief executive to say “transgender” in a speech, to name transgender political appointees and to prohibit job bias against transgender government workers.

The Hillsborough Democratic Party Sucks

Why, in a county where Democrat voters outnumber Republican voters by about 60,000, is it a foregone conclusion Republicans control the county's governing body? 

The Hillsborough Democratic party has long struggled at the basic elements of organization for local races, like fundraising and grooming candidates. Friday marked the end of qualifying for local elections, finalizing the field of candidates vying for four open seats on the Hillsborough County Commission. And, yet again, it appears unlikely Democrats will pick up a majority on the seven-member commission, where they now hold two seats and would be lucky to pick up another.

One of the races ended Friday, as incumbent Republican Ken Hagan drew no opposition in countywide District 5.
One other race will be decided without Democrat involvement, as three Republicans and a write-in candidate are vying for eastern Hillsborough's District 4, vacated by term-limited 
Al Higginbotham. Higginbotham, a Republican, instead is running in countywide District 7 and has a huge fundraising lead over his challengers. here

Obama Helps GOP Find Their Penises

This weekend the far-right arm of the Republican party is getting their self-righteous on at the Freedom and Faith Coalition annual herding. There’s the usual pandering, hate speech and smugness unencumbered by self-reflection of any kind. Exactly what we’d expect from an event sponsored by 
Ralph Reed’s hate group. here

The guest list includes some of the very best in right-wing hate-mongers and apologists: Michele Bachmann, John Bolton, Ted Cruz, Mike Huckabee, Mitch McConnell, Rand Paul, Phyllis Schafly, Paul Ryan, Grover Norquist and Rick Santorum. Their token people of color this year include Herman Cain, 
Allen West and Dinesh D’Souza.
