Rush, Redistricting And Self Absorbed Bloggers

By Tom Tillison

Coming off the emotions of the GOP presidential primary, it seems the politicos in the state are in need of a drama fix and have selected redistricting as the drug of choice.

Driven by self absorbed bloggers who have a history of injecting themselves into high profile stories, as if the topic can only be of legitimate concern if it revolves around them, and then brought to a boil by Rush Limbaugh

Rush Limbaugh Is Wrong On Redistricting

By Florida State Rep. Scott Plakon

As a longtime fan and admirer of Rush Limbaugh, I was disappointed to hear his comments regarding the work of the Congressional Redistricting Subcommittee on which I am honored to serve.

His suggestions that we “rigged” the maps to force Allen West out of Congress are simply ludicrous. I was there…it didn’t happen…

Decision 2012, What Does It All Mean?

By Allen Wilson

Good bye Presidential hoopla we’ll see you in August.

But for now, let’s turn our thoughts to more pressing problems for Florida and the nation. Fasten your seat belts folks; it’s going to be a bumpy ride.

This won’t be a Tea Party vs the Establishment event, that’s just so 2010. No, this is a showcase for Agenders, Fair Taxers, Occupiers (well they don’t really vote do they”), and GOOOH’ers…

Who’s The Boss, Congressman?

By KrisAnne Hall

When I introduced myself, it was clear that Mr. Miller was not happy about being questioned about his vote.

I tried to explain to him the legal issues with the loose language of these sections, but he was unwilling to listen. He became very hostile, even shouting at me at one point. This back and forth went on for a bit and then he replied, “you need to get out of my way because I need to get home to my family”.

U.S. Rep. Sandy Adams: 1,000 Days Later, No Budget From Senate

By Rep. Sandy Adams

Could you imagine not doing a family budget for 1,000 days, or businesses going that long without one?

As irresponsible as that might seem, today marks 1,000 days since the U.S. Senate has passed a budget. The last time it passed a budget, you had never heard of the iPad. The U.S. was still able to put astronauts into outer space. And the national debt was $4 trillion smaller than it is today.

The Wind In Renewable’s Sails

By Allen Wilson

The PTC has allowed the wind industry to grow providing 75,000 jobs in 42 states including right here in Central Florida.

The cost of generation for wind has been reduced to about 5 cents per kilowatt hour and it is headed lower as volume increases. But, it is still a few cents higher than the more traditional methods at this point.

Justice Ginsburg Violates Her Oath

Justice Ginsburg Violates Her Oath

By KrisAnne Hall

Our founders deliberately did not establish a democracy, because in that form of government, the majority would always choke to death the desire for Liberty of a minority. Yet another point that Mrs. Ginsberg might be wise to share with Egypt instead of encouraging them to strive “to achieve a general democracy…”

The dichotomy of her praise and criticism of our founders and our Constitution shows that she is greatly misinformed of both…

Tired Of Political Elitists Picking Our Candidates?

By Rick Steeby

I am not a fan of this two-party system where your personal beliefs have to be compromised to one party platform or the other based on the lesser of two evils.

I am reminded of my own words of how Congress has become entrenched and regardless of party they are more concerned with the power and the prestige of office then in service to their country.

Romney Wins, What’s Next?

By Tom Tillison

So after three years of toil by thousands of average everyday citizens who’ve sacrificed far more than they ever cared to, Florida supports John McCain yet again, just in a prettier package.

And just as in 2008, Florida will be the impetus that thrusts this better wrapped version identified as Mitt Romney one step closer to an eventual match up with Barack Obama.

There will be plenty of coverage breaking down the final numbers…

Clouds On A Sunny Day

By Allen Wilson

I remember the instant that the mood changed.

As my lens focused beyond the Washington Monument and upon the Capital Dome I recognized that I no longer felt proud of this city. I was embarrassed that under that dome sat men and women who first thought of themselves before they thought of their nation.
