I tried to watch the video. and I was looking at his web site to try to see how he stands on the issues.
on the video he was speaking about the need to cut spending on social security. did he complain about how since 1983 it has been legal to take the revenues of social security and spend them elsewhere? he did not complain. therefore, I presume that he supports taking the money that is taxed from people's paychecks and diverting it from social security.
He didn't shout anything anti-war on the web page I saw, it seems like he's very pro-war.
on illegal immigration he stated the same old tired republican words that he wants to get tough on the border. what about auditing employers to find the illegals and punishing the employers. he wears a nice suit, he's raised money for a campaign, but he doesn't even know that we need to audit the employers and punish them for hiring illegals. He's not on my side.
In Florida, our crop of candidates this year is pretty bad. Marco Rubio is your standard government-issue Republican. He's not a RINO, but not much of a Tea Partier either. Charlie Crist has changed his positions so many times no one knows what he believes.
Our governors race is even worse. Pro-Obama Alex Sink vs a Tea Party backed Rick Scott with a questionable past.
Look on the bright side. YOu could be living in California with Moonbeam Brown or CFR Whitman as your main choices.
True. But isnt that the norm for California politics? Back in the day, Florida Democrats were conservative and Republicans were even more conservative. Now we have lesser-of-two-evils moderates.
As much as I like the Tea Party, they really picked a poor candidate with Rick Scott. He has too much baggage from when he was CEO of a hospital. His opponent in the GOP primary was Bill McCollum, a long time politician but generally a decent guy. The democrat Alex Sink will probably win governor now, thanks to the Tea Partys choice.
