Republicans Gabfest

Well,

according to the Tribune
, the first local polical debate has occurred. The Republicans running for county commissions had a debate Tuesday.

Seminole Heights is affected by the race that has Rose Ferlita, Brad Swanson and Gary Santti running.

Of interest is that "The primary's internal politics were evident at the county Republican meeting when Swanson got a special introduction by Commissioner Ken Hagan. He mentioned Commissioner Brian Blair also was on hand to support the former Greater Tampa Chamber of Commerce official."

Swanson . . . "ticked off a litany of boilerplate Republican themes such as smaller government and lower taxes until challenged by a member of the audience to provide the "substance" of his vision for Hillsborough"

The ruors are that Swanson is a hack/puppet for east Hillsborough County behind-the-scene king makers Sam Rashid and Ralph Hughes. He certainly will not be a friend of Seminole Heights. "He also spoke in favor of the county's ban on gay pride."

Just say no to Swanson!

Gotta love Republicans. They've created the biggest government, biggest deficit and largest budget in history -- all while chipping away at states' rights via right to die and gay marriage issues -- and still have the balls to say they are for small government, low spending and states rights.

You can never under-estimate the ignorance of the masses.

"Besides telling us how to live, think, marry, pray, vote, invest, educate our children and, die, the GOP has done a fine job of getting government out of our lives"
