Comments of the Week: Allen West, Rubio’s Spanish ad, Scott-Sink, LeMieux and Cuba

Every Friday here at The Florida Independent, we pick out the best comments we received during the previous week, whether they came from commenters here on our site, or via Facebook and Twitter. Want to be included next week? Assail us with your rapier wit!

In response to “Ron Klein’s internal poll shows him leading Allen West in a tight race”:

Allen West has my vote —Byrdog4Liberty

In response to “Spanish Rubio ad clashes with Republican English-as-official-language rhetoric”:

What the writer failed to mention is that the person holding the “Yo quiero Marco” sign was Caucasian! And, like Marco, she speaks both English and Spanish and believes English should be the official language of this country. —YoQuieroMarco

In response to “Scott ad attacking Sink assailed by press”:

Does anyone REALLY believe that one person would be in charge of billions of dollars of investments on behalf of the state retirement system? I am so tired of the BS that is tossed about. The blame games and manipulating data to make people look bad are in poor taste. Do these folks think that whoever plays these games best is the person we want making decisions? What are YOU going to do for me…putting a negative light on another person just says to me that you are a jerk and cannot be trusted. —Whoiswho

In response to “LeMieux attempts to nix EPA water quality standards”:

It’s critical to understand, as my friend Randy so aptly put it, that translated from the French, LeMieux means The Mieux. —Ruben Betancourt

Thanks Senator Lame-o for once again standing up for Floridians! I’m sure we will all sleep much better knowing that coporations have fewer regulations to worry about when they want to pollute our lakes, oceans, and rivers. —Anonymous

In response to “Garica, Rivera launch attack ads, don’t answer questions”:

I can NOT stand negative political ads!!!! I turn them off. —Xiomara A. Sosa

In response to “Supporters of Cuba embargo pour millions into congressional coffers”:

It appears that restrictions on Cuba will never be lifted as long as members of Congress are spine-less slaves of the special interests that fund their campaigns. —CarlosM

I guess it is in the coffers of Congress where democracy is really at work. Free elections? Nothing free about it in the USA. Why attack Cuba for a single party system when we here have one. It is the Party of Money. What happen to one man one vote? More like one PAC many Congressmen. Forget the American People and their will. —Milton Sanchez-Parodi
