War On Women Can Be Fought At The Polls

By Kim Carroll

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.

Is Mack Campaign Getting Desperate?

By Tom Tillison

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.”

Obama’s IPAB Death Panels Limit More Than Just Health Care Access

By L. Persona

Florida Democrats believe they can win a few Republican seats in Congress and are preparing a major offensive against several Republicans facing tough challenges this year. They believe that redistricting gives them a chance to offset the seats they are sure to give up.

By Lloyd Marcus

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.

The People Of Florida Deserve Better, Gov. Scott

By Tom Tillison

In light of all the scrutiny that has befallen Gov. Scott’s chief of staff Steve MacNamara, other than to say the media is being “mean”, the Governor’s primary response has been to say, “I think he’s doing a great job.”

And with each passing day, the Miami Herald digs a little deeper in exposing the rank hypocrisy of all that’s occurring on Scott’s watch.

Sandy Adams; The Need For VAWA

By Rep. Sandy Adams

There are millions of women who have experienced domestic violence, and I want them to know that there is life after abuse. At the age of 17 I dropped out of high school to join the Air Force, and soon after I married and had a beautiful baby girl.

Shortly after we married, I realized my husband was…

Don’t Let Me Down, Governor

By Tom Tillison

It seems Gov. Rick Scott is walking a fine line these day… or is he?

Talk to the tea party and you will hear some strong opinions that Scott he has crossed the line entirely.

By Tom Tillison

It is with a profound sense of humility that I share with you the outpouring of concern and support that has befallen me since posting the article ‘Borrowed Time’ yesterday.
