well DUH —anjamd

In response to “Machine glitch delays early voting after Meek rally”:

suspicious, disgusting and depressing —Joan McKniff

In response to “Despite anti-union rhetoric, West voluntarily joined teachers’ union in ’04-’05″:

Typical politician. He was for it before he was against it. —silviahall

In response to “Republicans decline to reject Government Is Not God endorsement; Murray explains ‘religious cleansing’”:

Ah, but it is William J. Murray who lives in the fantasy world, where the courts stopping him from forcing his religion on others somehow counts as religious cleansing. —Suttkus

In response to “Citizens have no right to speak at public meetings, according to Florida courts”:

Welcome to Flori’duh’. —Floriduh

In response to “State Rep. Gaetz: Amendments 5 and 6 would blunt ‘conservative comeback’”:

Good! Something has to! —Kathy Agel

In response to “The right-wing roots of Scott’s press strategy”:

The mainstream media, much like congress, has made itself largely irrelevant. Folks have just had a belly full. It IS time for a change and Rick Scott has my vote. —gcb

In response to “Norman may be back on the state Senate ballot, but his troubles aren’t over”:

We tolerate dishonest leaders, then get pissed when they win. The Jim Normans of the world laugh at our acceptance of there behavior knowing all along we will piss, moan and in the end, do nothing. We are about to get the senator we deserve. I for one will do all I can to shine a very bright light our home grown corrupt politicians. —Mike
