The Stories
Florida Senate takes TMS idea state-wide It was recommended to Senate President Don Gaetz to make it easier for citizens to offer input on the future of ObamaCare in Florida and to allow folks to know more about the committees involved and when they meet. It would seem the Senator liked the idea.
Politico shapes poll results to fit agenda There's the poll. And, the way that the Politico wants you to interpret the poll. Sickening and funny; all at once.
76% say, "Cut government spending" That is a pretty strong number. Too bad it seems completely lost on the men and women in office. Broken down 59% say, "across the board" while another 17% say they "somewhat" favor cuts.
Crist changes party We know what you are thinking, "No way!" Yes, it's true. Former GOP Florida Governor Charlie Crist has become a Democrat. Good luck, Charlie.
Will GOP cave? If history is any indicator the answer is...yes! More members of the party are looking to give in and raise taxes "on the wealthy".
Doomsday panic begins The Mayan calendar, blah, blah...the civilization as we know it blah, blah...record numbers of citizens around the world are blah, blah.
Bush tax cuts: Blame game We've tried to explain it over the years; to defeat the lies and distortions told by the left. Here's a great compilation of the facts.
Where the jobs are/aren't Imagine this...in the last five months, 73% of the civilian jobs created were...wait for it...government jobs. This from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Meanwhile, businesses (many big) keep shedding jobs.
Florida teachers ace evaluations When 97% of teachers score "effective" or "highly effective" status is it safe to say that the measuring tools are not quite calibrated correctly?
Chicago teachers union exec attends Marxist conference Sure, a teacher has a right to attend conferences, but at what point do we, the public, not want to hire instructors who are avowed Marxists/Communists in our public schools.
ObamaCare state exchanges: reasons to say, "No!' The Cato Institute offer an analysis of why Florida ought to sit it out. Oh, and HHS Secretary Sebelius has awarded a major data services contract (a key to the whole thing) to a "friend". Convenient.
