Happy Mothers Day
 |
| I saw this woman on a sidewalk yesterday morning. On my way home she was still there. I stopped and asked her didn't she have somewhere to go. She told me she was in the hospital but they could not find anything wrong with her. She said law enforcement took all her money and dumped her there. I asked didn't she have any children that could take care of her. She said she didn't need any help and that god would take care of her. I gave her a few dollars and left. The second pic is of where we think she sleeps. On the sidewalk in front of a closed store. We don't believe, but at times like these we wish The Crist did come back and kick some fucking ass. |
We Don't Care What Steve Schale Has To Say
On CNN: "It would certainly be better to not have him in the race,(Grayson) tends to sort of rely on hyperbole and invective, and I'm not sure that's the kind of primary which is healthy for us. I think it's a center-right state, I think he is not electable in a general and I think he has the ability to create a pretty divisive primary if he runs," here

Rick Scott admits he used dead mother in campaign as a sham
[In 2013] Scott said his mother's death changed his perspective and he could no longer "in good conscience" oppose expanding health care coverage to nearly 1 million Floridians.
Scott conceded this week that was all a ruse. He now says his support for Medicaid expansion was a calculated move designed to win support from the Obama administration for the state's proposal to hand over control of Medicaid to private insurance companies. At the time, he denied that his support was tied to a deal with the federal government. here

The Death Of Conservatism In America
Republicans and conservatives
have a brand problem.
Republicans are baffled by Hillary Clinton’s persistent lead in the polls despite months of bad publicity. the Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll released Monday showing Clinton ahead of both Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio by 6 points, Scott Walker by 10, and Rand Paul by 3.
The New York Times/CBS poll released a day later
showed what the GOP is up against:
Only 29 percent of Americans had a favorable view of the Republican Party,
while 43 percent had a positive view of the Democrats. The survey also documented a steady but little-noticed trend: Americans, by their own self-description, are becoming less conservative. here

The New GOP Budget
Promises to cut domestic agencies and safety net programs like Medicaid and food stamps, carve up transportation spending and student aid, and curb tax breaks for the poor while leaving tax breaks for corporations and the wealthy, including a proposal to eliminate taxes on multimillion-dollar inheritances.. And $38 billion increase for the Pentagon. here
Florida GOP Sen. Marco Rubio voted for it.
Democrats blasted the measure for getting the bulk of its savings from cuts to programs that help the poor and middle class.
Jeb Bush’s Biggest Problem

Florida Democratic Party ‘Bosses’ Out-Of-Touch
“Florida Democratic voters choose our party nominee, not out-of-touch party bosses sipping cognac in a smoke-filled room in Washington DC.,” Alan Grayson
“Progressives are the heart and soul of the Democratic Party in Florida and across the nation. We are the volunteers who stuff envelopes, knock on doors, and provide the grassroots energy that powers successful Democratic campaigns. The idea that a senator from Montana and Wall Street Democrats know better than rank-and-file Florida Democrats is both patronizing and unsurprising. Then again, no one knows better than Jon Tester that DSCC support
doesn’t mean a whole lot." Susan Smith
"We will not vote for or support Patrick Murphy." YCS
