Rick Scott: Mike Hogan is My Guy

[Jimmy]

Well, I know everyone will be pleased to know that Rick Scott trusts Mike Hogan to get Jacksonville's finances in order.  Pleased to know that Rick Scott said: this is my guy.  Pleased to know that Hogan said: Rick Scott is what Jacksonville needs.  An arch-conservative tea party love-fest right there on our St. Johns, our American Heritage, River.

There they were, Rick and Mike, BFFs, hanging out this evening with their pals in the tea party.  Teapublicans talking about what they want to cut and what we have to give up, so that they can satisfy the thirst of the anti-government crowd.  There, on that stage shared by some of the most offensive enemies of our progress that could be imagined.  People who detest public transit.  Who hate cultural and arts.  He see social services as a burden too big for us to handle.  Bigots and small-minded theocrats who want to legislate who can get married and who has to move to the back of our society's bus. 

I say no more.  The line must be drawn right here in Jacksonville.  It's time to tell Rick Scott "no, sir, thank you."  We don't want your policies.  We don't want your scandal.  We don't want your candidate for Mayor.

The line must be drawn here in Jacksonville.  That's what this election is about.

Governor Rick Scott and Lt. Governor Jennifer Carroll both endorsed fellow conservative Republican Mike Hogan for Jacksonville mayor this afternoon.

I'm sure Mike and Rick will work hand-in-hand on the Hogan agenda.  No more illegals (what an offensive term!).  Guns for everyone (and bullets too!).  No mass transit for you.  And whatever else the conservatives hate and want to deprive from everyone else.

Well if you're referring to potential crackdowns by Hogan don't forget about blacks crime, baby killers public health, tree hugging pussies sustainable development, and useless handouts public transportation. We're in for a whole new world of hurt under Hogan.

[Charles Hunter]

Don't forget selling parkland ...

These two guys are cut from the same cloth.  Whether they want to send transportation money back to Washington or sell off our parkland to their developer buddies.  It's all the same to me.  This agenda has got to be moderated.  In Jacksonville, we can't count on the City Council to reign it in.

We need a balanced, divided government here.  We need a Mayor who has a different take than the tired and failed policies of the past.  Alvin Brown will provide the balance we need in Jacksonville before the extremists take us right over the ledge.

You mean ruining parks by giving state land to your cronies creating jobs?

[Jimmy]

Don't forget state-sanctioned gay bashing pro-family policies!

Lighten up people, the votes haven't even started yet.

Regardless of who gets elected I would like either candidate to embrace all the issues, not just the ones that are stereotyped.

This is the systematic Tea Party coup of Florida.

The title of the thread has me thinking they are closet cases . Just sayin

[Jimmy]

No, Tim, they're not.  Not the intention of the title.

More and more I'm convinced that if regular people would go and vote, this tea party business would subside in a hurry.  I'm sick of extremists on both sides marking the terms of the debate.

I meant it jokingly ,really. perhaps in bad taste. My apologies

[Jimmy]

No worries! I can see where you'd get that.

Yeah, we should lighten up, given how well Scott is taking care of Florida...we should just feel comfortable with Hogan possibly taking the wheel here in Jax....NOT!
