Title: DEAD; Democracy in Florida. Post by: 44nutman on June 10, 2012, 12:31:45 pm http://articles.orlandosentinel.com/2012-06-09/news/os-scott-maxwell-florida-redistricting-fair-distri-20120609_1_congressional-district-gop-advantage-fair-districts
Scott Maxwell had a great piece on the "Fair Districting" in Florida. I am not sure if the "Fair districts" are supposed to be ironic or a big middle finger to democracy. I am a big fan of irony, but doubt the GOP in Florida have a sense of humor. The system if rigged. The thing I don't get is how is those districts not unconstitutional. Must be those Liberal judges that let it happen.(now that is irony) Title: Re: DEAD; Democracy in Florida.

Right now polls, which I don't trust, have Obama leading by a couple. Will Obama win the general election? I hope so, but am resigned to the fact that if Romney wins he'll be about as conservative as Obama. Think about that. Title: Re: DEAD; Democracy in Florida.

The only Dems benefitting by this are those entrenched in office, like the horrible crook Corinne Brown. I had to testify against her when I worked for the state and she still got elected to Congress afterwards. Title: Re: DEAD; Democracy in Florida.

I hope so, but am resigned to the fact that if Romney wins he'll be about as conservative as Obama. Think about that. it's more 'personal' with me on the Romney issue.. I dislike him. I think he's a spoiled kid who has gotten everything he's every wanted by buying it..I think he wants to beat his dad, I think "Mr. President" is all he wants, the title.. there is nothing else left in this world for him to be or buy,he's already had it all.. and this is just the last step. I don't think he's an evil person, I don't think he's jerk to ppl, in fact, he's pretty nice to people's face... but I also think he will lie,cheat,steal and spend billions to get that title... he'll be worthless in the office, it'll be his VP who runs the show.. and that's the person to be afraid of because Romney's going to way-way-right with his pick.. but all that's secondary.. I just don't want to see him have the title.. |
