Florida's Culture Of Corruption: Pam Bondi

President Obama: Thank You From Tampa Cuban Americans

We never thought we would live to see this. 
Your legacy is secure with us!

Dear Marco Rubio

Rubio called Obama’s historic trip to Cuba “one of the most disgraceful trips ever taken by a U.S. president anywhere in the world.”
----------
"Mr. Rubio, we have tried it your way for over 50 years. All it has done is make the Cuban people suffer. The change you were looking for did not happen. It should be up to the Cubans on the island to decide how they want to be  governed not the deserters in Miami. Dialogue over Isolation works everytime. 
Now we have a chance to show them what Democracy looks like." YCS

Florida Right Winger Todd Schnitt Attacks Alan Grayson

"Recently, a right-wing hate radio host in Florida said that I’m a “mental defect,” that I’m “obnoxious” and “disgusting,” and that I’m a “media whore.”
The verbal mugger in this case was Todd Schnitt, a hatemonger whose radio show is carried in both Miami and Tampa, the two largest media markets in Florida."
