Sorry, could not help it - another political one

Rick Scott and Bill McCollum – really? That is the best Florida has to offer?


Well, if you live in Florida you have seen some targeted ads from one or both of these two, unless you live in the aquifer and can’t receive television, radio and get no service on you 4g gadget. Rick Scott, the fabulously rich Republican contender, has a catchy slogan, let’s get to work. Bill McCollum, the only amazingly rich Republican contender has real solutions, a roadmap for Florida if you will and in this case he will. When I looked there are 23 candidates running for the position of Gov in Florida. My favorite is John Wayne Smith, he is a Libertarian candidate. And with a name like John Wayne how could he be bad and when you throw in Smith at the end he must be perfect. He is an awning installer and Army Veteran, thank you for your service to our country John Wayne Smith.

So back to the two big rich dogs in this fight, I use dogs here both literally and metaphorically. I am not sure how much money is being spent on television ads but those two are everywhere and you know what, I still don’t know a damn thing about how they plan to make Florida better. I know that the company Rick Scott ran was fined by the Government for Medicare fraud and that Bill McCollum using the state plane a lot. While I can muster quite a bit of righteous indignation about both of those things in my economically depressed person economy I really do not give a shit. Big CEO’s and politicians are going to take advantage of the system, they always have and always will so I can let their idiocy go. It is in their nature, just like you can’t stop a bear from crapping in the woods, it is what they do so there is no reason to get hung up on it. When will they focus on developing a plan, telling us what they are going to do for us, instead of name calling at the other dumbass in the race.

I hear each of them talking in nebulous terms about how they are going to create jobs and end pet spending projects and control our borders and not lie to us any more but ya know what, been there, done that and have that tee shirt. We need to realize that these “cream of the croppers” are not going to follow through on their campaign hyperbole. Think about it, when was the last time someone was able to follow through with the bullshit that they had to promise to get enough votes to get into office? The ones running are not running because they care about us, nope they are in for themselves, they have to be or we would not hear things like, we put this forward because we knew it was what could get passed. Not one mention about what is right, or just or best for us, what we could get passed – that my friends as apathy at a level that in not even understandable to me. And we allow this dirt-bags to get away with it, shameful. I am considering starting a new party, the name, the Anti-Incumbent party.

This would be different than the crop of folks running now who are saying “let’s get rid of the career politicians” or “experience you can trust” or “a proven track record” PLEASE. Any dunderhead who thinks anyone in office is representing us more than they are looking out for themselves is diluted. Sorry I usually try not to be so insistent but if you think Charlie Christ or Bill McCollum or Marco Rubio or President Obama or anyone of the other gaggle of elected officials give a crap about you I do not feel that I even want to know you anymore. I mean when was the last time any level of government solved a problem. Crime rate in Jax, cut 10 million from the cops budget, not going to help. Spend a ton of truckloads of money to get people back to work, census workers inflated the number and then kaput. Governor Christ doubling the homestead exemption and then cutting funding to the city, who in turn started charging any number of new fees. Nothing is being fixed, blame is being spread and responsibility shifted and still NOTHING is fixed and spending is never cut. I am nearly convinced that is all a great big game, and that the game is rigged and that game is being played on the backs of common working folks and I for one am tired of the cleats digging into my back.

It is all a crap shoot, the odds of us being able to pick that right one are no better than 195,249,054 to 1, the same odds of you winning the power ball lotto. I hate to say it but I just want all these knuckleheads off my television, them and the endless line of BS they are spraying at us! And by the way Rick Scott, you do need a name tag like your commercial says, you and Bill both need one, it should just say, I am going to end up screwing you in the end so you might as well get ready now, here’s a kiss.

John Wayne Smith, you got my vote, the odds are just as good that you can get something done as the others, and I like that you install awnings, some actual work – good for you!

My Sister, who is a county auditor in Ohio is exempt from any criticism, I believe her to be the ONLY good one out there.
