Deplorable! What Nan Rich has to put up with from Florida Dem Party Chair...

4. I've Lived In FL For A VERY Long Time...

My husband was born in Tampa, but we were Army brats and met while our fathers were stationed at Ft. Hood, TX. I only say this because I was glad to MOVE from TX, a place I never cared for much, even back then. When I moved here FL was MUCH more Democratic, I thought Bob Graham was great as a Governor & Senator, even though he was not as liberal as I am. Still, at least he was against the war and said so at the time.

Regardless, I'm still glad I don't live in TX! However, I'm also extremely upset with the state Democratic Party and my local Democratic Party. The best I can say is that they're DLC types, which isn't saying much. I've tried being involved but I generally feel like a fish out of water (pun intended)! I live in the "heart" of RED on the west coast and there are many, many wealthy people here who are mostly Repukes, so for me the thought of having to see "the alien" Rick Scott re-elected is more than I can deal with.

I was FURIOUS that so many Democrats in this state didn't realize that voting for Kendrick Meek as opposed to Crist was actually a vote for Rubio. What's worse is that I'm getting the sinking feeling that Democrats here will "muck" it up again! Whether Rich is a true Democrat or not is something I have to ignore, given all that I've seen of Democrats in power here. Yes, there are some more liberal types, Alan Grayson for one, but many are DINOs at best. It's hard for me to imagine that this state will elect a Democrat that's really going to fight as hard as I would like against Repukes. These days it seems too many Democrats from every state are wimpish! I'm white, but my observation is that blacks & latinos are the ones who REALLY put up the fight against the other side.

I do admit I don't know much about Nan Rich, but I also know I want SCOTT GONE! Regardless of Crist's past he did govern more moderately as a Governor than I thought he would. I didn't vote for him then, but I will vote for him now. I was also one of those who went off the ranch and voted for him against Rubio!

I suppose I can only cross my fingers and make a wish that more Democrats realize that unless something huge happens, Rich probably can't win. Pointing fingers at the Party is something I can't fix right now, but voting for Rich isn't going to help us get rid of Scott. I have heard that Crist is finally bringing up Scott & his HCA felonious activities which is something I felt Crist should have been doing all along. The man should be in prison as far as I'm concerned!

We can wish for a more progressive aggressive Democratic Party, but right now Rich should see the handwriting on the wall. In my county, we did have a woman running for Representative to Congress and she was a fighter, but instead of the local Party standing along with her, they threw her under the bus and decided Christine Jennings had a better chance of winning. THAT race was a real screw up and I'm not sure Buchanan really won fairly. It was strongly contested, but in the end Buchanan is STILL up there! Ands he's a CROOK too!

Crazy or not, seems holding your nose kind of comes with the territory many times. Scott has to go!
