OK, what is the deal with FL?

[Malikshah]

8. The FL Legislature, and the FL governor. Since ~1999 FL has gone to the dogs.

It started under Jeb's reign, continued under Crist's, and now Scotts.

Thankfully, the House and Senate no longer have the iron clad Republican majorities they have had after Tuesday's election. They tried to get 11 long-winded, duplicitous amendments passed on the ballot this time around. Thankfully, only 3 of the 11 went through (and the three that went through had "Veteran" and "Senior Citizen" front and center in the wording--the idiots that passed these will soon realize that Veterans and Seniors will NOT benefit, but rather that the entire populace will suffer)

I know that folks on the DU aren't expected to know this, so I let the attacks on Florida stand. The goddamn Media, however, should be doing a better job at exposing the reasons behind the problem instead of repeating the knee-jerk mouth-breathing Flori-duh refrain over and over again. Don't even get me started on Marco "Tax payers paid for my back shave" Rubio--that little shit is as corrupt as Jeb.

BTW--I've no love for the Dem machine down here-- they put up McBride vs. Bush instead of supporting Janet Reno.... In my experience, the Dems at the local level can be just as corrupt at times.
