Democratic plot to make the Republican Party look bad

Florida GOP Carlos Curbelo suggested that Donald Trump’s presidential campaign may be a Democratic plot to make the Republican Party look bad. here

The Republican party doesn't need Trump 
to look stupid. 

He is leading the GOP field, what does that tell you about the GOP voter.

The Florida Democratic Party Sucks

In Florida, the Republicans control Both Houses, the Governorship, and the majority of state appointments. Statistically, this does not make sense, because there are more Democrats registered on the voting polls, which gives the party the advantage in every election. But somehow the Republicans continue to win, and it would appear that the wrong Democratic leadership is in positions of power. here

Under the leadership of the Florida Democratic Chairperson Allison Tant, the Democrats have lost the Governorship twice. For almost two decades the Florida Democrats have delivered constant electoral defeats, and the same group is now making recommendations based on what they keep doing wrong. Fire Tant and hire Susan Smith!

Florida INC. - Liesa Priddy

The state pays nearly $1 million a year to biologists to study the Florida panther. Yet when the state's top wildlife official decided to rewrite Florida's panther policy to overhaul how the state manages the endangered cats, he didn't consult them until the document was done. Instead, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission executive director Nick Wiley brainstormed almost exclusively with Immokalee ranch owner Liesa Priddy who was appointed to the wildlife commission in 2012 by Gov. Rick Scott. here

Stop Oil Drilling In The Big Cypress National Preserve

A newly proposed project from a Texas oil company, threatens to irreversibly alter the character of the protected area and turn essential habitat into just another oil field crisscrossed with roads and dotted with drill pads. The company has asked for permission to begin seismic surveying -- which itself will require the removal of trees and destruction of habitat on 70,000 acres. Limited drilling is already permitted in the preserve, but this project is unprecedented in its scale and must be stopped. If oil and gas is found, all risks will mushroom. here

Florida Banana Republicans

37% or 10 of 27 Congressional House seats are held by Dems. 47% of FL 2014 votes were for Dems

The Florida Supreme Court just ruled against the gerrymandering that makes this corruption possible. Those legislators who voted for maps that are deemed unconstitutional should be treated and punished as traitors. The legislators elected by gerrymandering constitute a Banana Republic; they and the laws they pass are illegitimate.

The Sierra Club, Tea Party Love Fest

Kevin Thurman of Connect Tampa Bay, a transit advocacy group, said he hopes the Sierra Club executive committee members who voted on the statement consulted their membership before advocating for a gas tax for road maintenance.

here

"I find it very concerning and upsetting that the Sierra Club would require a tax for more money for roads before getting more money for transit," Thurman said he was also surprised to see the Sierra Club moving away from partnerships with transit groups and aligning itself with the tea party.

Florida's Culture Of Corruption: Wheelbarrows of cash utility companies dump in Tallahassee

Pam Bondi and 

Florida's Chamber of Commerce

Have both joined with mega utility companies to fight a constitutional amendment on solar power that embraces a competitive marketplace.

 The simple truth is Florida's leaders are a bunch of lemmings running in unison in whichever direction the power companies tell them. Utility companies have donated $12 million to the campaigns of state lawmakers since 2010. Seven members of the chamber's board of directors are employed by the electric industry. Power companies are forever trying to gouge consumers — to the tune of billions — for nuclear plant construction and fracking operations.

The bottom line is this wouldn't be a problem if the Public (Corporate) Service Commission did its job and actually regulated electric monopolies. Or if state legislators showed more interest in reining in their sugar daddies. here
