Kathy Castor - Get This Party Started
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 The Florida Squeeze for this awesome piece.

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
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

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

Florida Pipeline Scandal
Tons of toxic waste is being dumped into St. Johns River, daily, by the Koch Brothers company, Georgia-Pacific. Rick Scott and Jeb Bush, are also involved. 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.
South Florida can rid itself of this cancer. Check out Alina Valdes
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

Hialeah, Florida Epicenter For Obamacare
Oye hermanos y hermanas mantienen votando Republicano
Here's a bit of irony—the place in the country that has the most Obamacare enrollees and stands to lose the most if the Supreme Court rules against subsidies is the stomping grounds of two Republican candidates for president. Both of those candidates, Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio, want to repeal Obamacare. The place is Hialeah, Florida, a primarily Cuban-American town just 10 miles from Miami. here

Cape Coral: Jim Healy's Great Idea
Here's my idea, change the Republican fairy tale of GOP to GOR. That would stand for Government of the Rich.
1) The Congress has recently voted to abolish the Estate Tax. This of course benefits only the top one tenth of one percent of us.
2) Corporate welfare equaling $100 billion per year.
3) Tax give aways or direct subsidies at the state, county and city level equaling $80 billion dollars per year.
4) Corporate tax subsidies equaling $100 billion per year.
5) Even though the oil companies are making tens of billions of dollars per year, you and I are giving them $4.5 billion of dollars per year in subsidies.
6) Despite record crop prices the Congress voted to increase big Farma's Government give away by billions of dollars per year.
7) The top 10 banks in the US receive $83 billion per year in subsidies. Remember the "stimulus" of 2008? We gave them $700 billion on that one.
8) This is a little known fact; the U.S. insurance companies will receive $1.071 trillion in the next 10 years in government subsidies.
9) There is no intelligent method to put a number on the amount of money the Wall Street companies receive per year, but it must be in the trillions. You take a guess.
10) Increasing military spending every year, while cutting every social program across the board to pay for it. You will love what else he has to say. here
You know the GOP is in trouble when this is coming from someone in a very heavy Republican part of Florida.
Della Curry - American Hero
From Aurora, Colorado. was fired for giving out school lunches to elementary school kids who did not have money.
“I had a first grader in front of me, crying, because she doesn’t have enough money for lunch. Yes, I gave her lunch, and i would do it again” Curry said.
this must make people like Republican Jack Kingston furious. Children should work hard for their cheese sandwiches and not have some welfare-queen-lunchmarm giving them food for free. Those smiling faces ain't gonna pay for daddy's corporate tax break and it definitely won't build a state of the art children's prison. Before we yell at the school district, remember, it wasn't the district that refused to earmark $124,229 to help cover costs for school breakfasts for poor children.
The people who did that were Republicans. Specifically, Republicans.
The Colorado Department of Education requested an additional $124,229 for the Start Smart Nutrition Program, which subsidizes the cost of breakfast at school for poor children, for the current budget year ending in June. However, the request failed
on a 3-3 party-line vote.
