Kathy Castor - Get This Party Started

Local Treasure Rep. Kathy Castor, has given Hillsborough County a not-so-subtle nudge to get moving on the proposed ferry service that would link MacDill Air Force Base with the southeastern part of the county. In a letter to County Administrator Mike Merrill, Castor asked him to get this party started “as expeditiously as possible.” here

HOW TO FIX THE FLORIDA DEMOCRATIC PARTY

Fire Allison Tant and hire 
Susan Smith
Democrats want to see real Democrats running for office. Mmobilize the base. The voters are there, the task is to give them a reason to vote.When you put up lifelong Republicans who can’t be differentiated from Democrats, there’s no reason for Democratic voters to vote.

Rick Scott is the poster child for corrupt government. And yet we didn’t beat him.we couldn’t beat him because we didn’t put up a true blue candidate (Nan Rich) who could challenge him on his policies. Instead, we put up a lifelong Republican (Charlie Crist) who’d just changed parties. Once you have your dedicated Democrat voting, they will vote for ALL the Democrats all the way down the ballot.
Put up corporate Democrats all you want. Keep giving us lifelong Republicans to vote for. We’ll keep rejecting them. Let us know when you’re ready to win some elections with some real true blue Democrats and we’ll be right there behind you.
Thank you Brook Hines and The Florida Squeeze for this awesome piece.

Patrick Murphy = You will lose, the base will not work or vote for him.

Marco Rubio #1 GOP Chicken Hawk

On CNN’s The Lead last September, Rubio made it clear ground troops would “likely be needed” to “finish the job” on ISIS. He has quickly earned the respect of the hawkish wing of the foreign policy establishment, especially the neocons that got us into Iraq. 

The wars Rubio decided not to fight in include: Gulf War, Bosnian War, Kosovo War, War in Afghanistan 
and Iraq War. The American troops killed in those conflicts 
totaled 7,041. here

Jeb And Rubio Support Oil Drilling 50 Miles From Tampa Bay

Florida GOP contenders for the White House  Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio 
support an expansion 
(50 miles from Tampa Bay)
 of domestic energy production. That's a flip-flop for Bush, who as governor fought such bids to allow rigs closer to 
Florida's coastline. here

Democratic Sen. Bill Nelson came out as the state's initial defender by recently filing a bill that counters the 
pro-drilling measure.

Marco Rubio, A Man Of Many Religions

A conservative, anti-gay marriage candidate, has lost and found his religion several times. As a child in Miami, he was a Roman Catholic. When his family moved to Las Vegas, he became a Mormon. When the family moved back to Florida he became a Catholic again. And then, in 2000, he began attending Christ Fellowship in Miami, a fundamentalist mega church. Now he attends both Christ Fellowship and a Catholic church. He attends Christ Fellowship on Saturday nights and goes to Mass on Sundays at St. Louis Catholic Church. here

Rep. Mario (Frado) Diaz-Balart

House Republicans voted Thursday to keep restrictions on Americans seeking to travel to Cuba. The Republican provision is the handiwork of Rep. Mario (Frado) Diaz-Balart, a top Lieutenant in The Miami Cuban Mafia. The White House has threatened to veto the bill.

Hillsborough County Right Wing News

  • The shady deal between Ken Hagan and Victor Crist can be put to rest.
  • Legendary Right-Winger Jim Norman wants to fill Kevin Beckner's seat on the county board. Will any big-name Right-Wingers file to challenge him.  Our old friend Ronda Storms didn't return calls to the Times, but she tends to lie low until she's ready to pounce. Also beware of local Tea Party extraordinaire Sharon Calvert. Others (Ray Young, E.J. Otero and Tim Schock) also want in. 
  • Corporate Welfare king Ken Hagan wants to run for mayor in 2019. here
