On whose side is Kurt Kelly really on?
He claims to be against new taxes when asked about it, but it was State Representative Kurt Kelly who filed Florida House Measure 157 on 9/30/2009.
He referred it to the House Finance and Tax Council on 10/23/2009. And then on 1/4/2010, his proposed measure was withdrawn prior to introducing it.

I have been watching the political scene here in central Florida more closely than ever. I know a lot of you have been scrutinizing it as well. We all sense the urgent need to get involved. However, we’re also realizing some of the aspects of the political scene that are a good part of why we’ve stayed away from it in the past.
Specifically, I’m referring to the people who do everything in their power to turn educating and informing the electorate about their options into a money making venture. These groups of people who do this would likely do the proverbial Good Samaritan act of helping an elderly lady cross the street… and then they’d hand her a bill for their services.
Why July 26th Should Be Important To You!

As a voter, you have the ability to register your political party affiliation (Republican, Democrat, or Independent).

Registering as a Democrat allows you to have a say in the Democratic Primary Elections as to who the Democratic candidate(s) will be in the General Election.

Fight The Urge
By Mickey Spencer
As humans, we’re all tempted to automatically believe any story we hear that supports a belief we already have. And since that story agrees with our beliefs, we tend to have no problem passing the story along to others.
However, with the convenience and immediacy and widespread availability of the internet, we [...]

Women have the power. They take their right to vote seriously and show up at the polls in greater numbers than men according to the Center for American Women and Politics at Rutgers University.
In 2008, 60.4 percent of eligible female voters cast their vote versus 55.7% of eligible males. According to the same study, more women are registered to vote than men, 66.6 million versus 63.5 million. Maybe that’s why the “War on Women” has taken a front seat in this election…

This post kicks off a three-part series about the crisis of spending, debt and deficits.
The next part deals with the interval between now and the inevitable arrival of the Minsky Moment, i.e. the unknown and unknowable time when an unsustainable economic phenomenon suddenly collapses.
The third post will address Gotterdammerung, or what happens after the Minsky Moment.

It’s a fair guess that Connie Mack has seen some recent polling that has gotten his attention.
As the week closed out, the rhetoric coming from the Mack campaign took on a rather fervent pitch. In a press release sent out Thursday, it made the claim that opponent George LeMieux has “endorsed raising Florida’s sales tax to a nation-leading 16 percent.”

However, the Democrats still fail to realize the albatross that ObamaCare places on their party’s efforts…

A big well dressed black guy attended the Dallas, TX tea party rally with his white buddy. Both men missed my singing performance on stage minutes earlier.
I asked the black gentleman who had an impressive physique how often he worked out. He replied, “Everyday.” His white buddy said with a chuckle, “He thinks the Tea Party is racist.”
