Marco Rubio – ISIS’ greatest recruiter in the US Senate
The following quote described Rubio’s views relative to other GOP Presidential candidates in 2016 INCLUDING eventual nominee Donald Trump. But Rubio seems distinctive in his willingness to sacrifice American lives, wealth, and prosperity and wreak death and destruction around the globe for most any reason. If you don’t think the wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, and […]
2016: The baby boomers last gasp? We can only hope so
President Obama’s election in 2008 heralded in a new era of political thinking and understanding. Much like Bill Clinton’s election in 1992 solidified the baby boomers’ generation as the ones in power, Obama’s election began the transition toward a younger, perhaps more liberal generation. But the 2016 presidential campaign has been the boomers revenge as […]
Marco Rubio on Patrick Murphy: Classic projection and diversion
Marco Rubio is a charlatan. The worst kind of deceitful devious politician. Some politicians don’t have any sort of belief system or ideology. That’s not a positive thing obviously, but what is worse is a politician that will or do anything to get elected but has at his or her heart a strong set of […]
Utilities and Amendment 1 – the industry fleecing of Florida can be stopped November 8
Amendment 1 on the November 8 ballot is perhaps the single biggest farce ever proposed to be placed in the Florida Constitution. Given the long history of bizarre ballot efforts, that is saying a great deal. But this is perhaps the first time an entire industry that has bought its way to creating anti-consumer monopolies […]
2016 emails 1996 campaign finance all over again? Clintonian deja vu
Call it Clintonian deja vu. In 1996, Bill Clinton was cruising to reelection and Democrats seemed destined to retake Congress after (what we at the time thought was an accidental) the 1994 GOP sweep. But late-breaking news intervened in 1996 cost the Democrats a chance to retake Congress while Clinton still cruised to reelection albeit […]
Does Marco Rubio respect the Presidency?
Florida’s Junior Senator is just days away from a potential reelection that would send him toward the White House in four or eight years. Rubio has tried to portray himself as some sort of elder statesman, mature and thoughtful in this race. However when he was seeking the GOP nomination for President But does Marco […]
Marco Rubio – America’s leading neoconservative agitator
Floridians need to have a clear conscience and not have the sort of guilt ten-fifteen years from now that Germans or Italians did after World War II and the horrors that brought. Stopping Marco Rubio’s reelection to the United States Senate might have the same implications long-term, as hyperbolic and crazy as that might sound […]
Florida’s media has wised up to Marco Rubio
After years of coddling Marco Rubio and enabling his rise from volunteer on a Congressional campaign fresh out of college in 1992 to becoming Florida House Speaker in 2006 to his election as US Senator in 2010. Many in the press corp in this state gave Rubio a pass as he used representation of Florida […]
Marco Rubio: Where right-wing ideology, and self-interest trumps Florida’s interests
Florida’s Junior Senator has doubled-down on his support of GOP Presidential nominee Donald Trump. At Wednesday’s debate Rubio continued his support for Trump, while continuing his pattern of deceitful public statements. Democratic nominee Patrick Murphy seized on Rubio’s willingness to resort to dishonesty to further his political standing in saying, “If you voted as much […]
Want an insight into Trump’s America? Look at Modi’s India
Donald Trump now famously said a week and a half ago at a rally thrown by Indian-American Republicans that he is a “big fan of Hindu.” While many in the media seized on this remark as humorous proof of Trump’s cultural ignorance, I saw it as something very different. A clear attempt to link with […]
