By: Bloggy Bayou (Diary) | May 1st at 03:27 PM |
In 2010, the Florida Republicans struck one of the most compelling counter blows to the election of Barack Obama to President in 2008. The rank and file openly revolted against the embedded Republican party elite and held a sitting REPUBLICAN Governor and his cohorts to account for their support for the economic mismanagement of Team Obama.

The Budget Deal: Adam Hasner Sums it Up…
By: Bloggy Bayou (Diary) | April 10th at 03:45 PM |
Folks, If you are upset about the budget deal, blame “The Founding Fathers”. Checks and balances. Civics 101.

With a divided government, you really have no choice but to “meet in the middle”. Make | Read More »

Folks, I don’t know about you, but I’m growing increasingly worried about how our Congressional House leadership is, well, leading…. Take for example, my own Congressman, The Honorable Jeff Miller. I just perused through his official congressional web page and there was absolutely NOTHING explaining the reasoning behind his support for the last two congressional continuing resolutions.
