By BloggyBayou standards, my post on the upcoming SB6 bill on education resulted in quite a few comments, all negative. Some were more or less respectful, one or two were condescending in tone. One theme that ran through all the comments was I was essentially ignorant and really wasn’t qualified to comment on the subject. I respectfully disagree. Here is the Link to the Post and | Read More »
I’ve spent the morning, perusing the RNC (www.gop.com) website and I find it: a) Disorganized b) Boring c) A Waste of Our Party Funds I know there are websites out there that can generate traffic: Hot Air, Andrew Breitbart’s list of sites (Big Government, Big Hollywood, Big Journalism), RedState., etc. I could go on and on. Obviously a lot of money has gone into the design | Read More »
The RNC is suffering a case of self inflicted gunshot wound. For our Senior Republican Leadership on the National level: Don’t drag out this really stupid behavior like the Republican Party of Florida (RPOF) did. Our Florida GOP went through the Political Torture of The Damned for what seemed an eternity when confronted with alleged malfeasance. What probably started off as a case of really | Read More »
First, truth in advertising. I have supported Marco Rubio since last year when he first declared his candidacy for the U.S. Senate. I have supported him with my keyboard and my checkbook. No doubt it colors how I viewed the debate today. If I had to summarize the debate: Marco Rubio showed up today to talk about policy and ideas. Charlie Crist showed up to | Read More »
Our local Deadwood paper is at it again… complaining (and rightfully so) about the over heated rhetoric directed at Obama.. Here is My response: It staggers the mind that ANYONE would compare ANY American President’s character with that of Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, etc and expect to be taken seriously in civil political debate… That said, where was the outrage from the press when | Read More »
I am all for getting rid of the Democrats in 2010, but unless we get 2/3 majority in BOTH houses in 2010, we are stuck with it unless the courts intervene. (How is that for irony: Democrats would get to yell about “Activist Judges”), or we have to wait till 2012. Then we will need a Republican majority in the House, a filibuster-proof Senate and a | Read More »
Go to www.bloggybayou.com for my blog of the orginal. The below is Crossposted from there. Looks like FOX was right about their vote count. There Is Too Much Anger and Not Enough Willingness To Make Tough Choices By The Tea Parties And the Republicans Right now on Redstate they have a picture of Rep Stupak up on the site With the word “Chump” under his photo.

First, let’s get real. When the House votes for the Senate Bill on Sunday, Obama will have his Healthcare bill and it will be law that day. Any talk of reconciliation is that…just talk. That means our Democratic Senator will get his “Gator-aide” kickback for a select set of seniors in Florida. Not all seniors, but seniors who he has depended on in the past | Read More »
To the average American, the argument of using the issue of “States Rights” to trump Federal Policy has been used only twice: The Civil War and Civil Rights. (I hear the howling of constitutional lawyers across the land disagreeing with that statement, but we are talking the perceptions of John and Jane Doe, not policy wonks) For most Americans, the Civil War was the first | Read More »
Adam Smith is one of Florida’s premier “political” reporters. Here is link to his bio. A native of New York and educated in Ohio, he has managed to impress enough people (according to his own bio) to be named the best political writer in Florida by washingtonpost.com and one of the country’s top 10 political reporters by Columbia Journalism Review. Heady stuff indeed…If you are | Read More »
