How's this for irony? I was looking for a picture of Sniffles to post, because of crist's sniffling during the debate. I came across a comic strip about Albert Fish, the real life Hannibal Lector.

his parents can't afford to move! what a bunch of baloney. It's all over the St. Pete Times about all the DEMOCRATS who live in mansions by his parents' house who held FUNDRAISERS FOR CRIST.

MANSIONS. Don't you feel their pain???

Tom Gallagher said he was looking out for renters too because taxes are passed on to them. Tom Gallagher is right. Crist is uber-prepared and it's all liberal bait and switch.

[floriduh voter]

Gallagher said good teachers should get pay raises and so should cops. I agree.

Crist wants to build classrooms even if there are 19 kids instead of 18. Gallagher is realistic. He said he'd rather have a larger class if there was a superb teacher than a smaller class with a so so teacher.

Tom Gallagher zotted the bullet train and I'm glad he did. Gallagher wants to revisit the class size amendment and I think we should. FV

1) I hate these new local "non recurring" recuring taxes. This is done to get by the homestead tax cap.

2) Has anyone asked Crist and Galiger if they would repeal florida's ban on homosexuals adopting children? This 5k freebie would definitly have an impact.

Tomorrow night is the democrat debate on PBS. Count on those candidates to rake Terri Schiavo over the coals. What did she do to them? She was alive and they cheered for her to be killed by a republican judge who Crist called his hero!

The dems always say "That Terri Schiavo". It was wrong for Jeb to interfere in her life. Wrong. Jeb interfered in her death by euthanasia (illegal).

Charlie Crist interfered in Terri's life, not Jeb. I can't vote for anybody who turned an innocent disabled woman into a martyr.

SORRY CHARLIE. If you are a live and let live kind of guy, you weren't in 2005 when Terri Schiavo died on March 31, 2005.

Trust him? Never!

Gallagher was much firmer on securing the borders and Gallagher mentioned 9-11. Crist didn't go there. Crist lives in a vacuum. I hope the undecideds wake up in the next two weeks.

THERE'S ANOTHER DEBATE NEXT WEEK.

Charlie Crist name dropped Reagan too. I forgot about that one.

Congressman Dave Weldon endorses Gallagher, so he's got my vote!

[floriduh voter]

Tom Gallagher is soft spoken but assertive. Charlie Crist looks like he's doing an Saturday Night Live sketch. Crist is clueless re: finances. He said that they had an extra five million last year and that was plenty.

If he thinks five million dollars is plenty, he's totally clueless. Gallagher called him on that answer of Crist's.

I hope a transcript becomes available. Anyway, I have mail. I'll be right back. Maybe it's talking points.

[GOPsupporterFL]

Crist said he's open to repealing it.

Gallagher rightly says no way.

What would too faggots do with $5,000 a year split between them? The vaseline industry endorses Crist.

[floriduh voter]

Talk about growing a bureaucracy - putting a separate office in the cabinet for adoptions within or with DCF? He sort of mumbled through that new ADOPTION BUREAURACY. Do you know how many DCF scandals there are right now? They're covering them up as fast as they can before the media finds out.

"Sorry to see that NewsMax has joined the Country Club Republicans."

Is that right.

Maybe they need a good FReeping.

[floriduh voter]

We think Crist was sniffling or sniffing or something. Do you know why. This is my theory. PBS WEDU shot the debate from their upper chest on up. I'm pretty sure that Charlie Crist had notes with him. We did see papers that he flailed a few times at Tom Gallagher. I think that when Charlie looked down at his notes to figure out what he was going to say, his nose started running.

TOM GALLAGHER DIDN'T NEED ANY NOTES. HE'S THE REAL DEAL.

[GOPsupporterFL]

The DCF is a radical, cruel organization. Especially in Massachusetts but really everywhere. Some of the stories are so shocking and appauling. Jeb should tear the organization to bits.

[floriduh voter]

Sacrificing human embryos for current people is disgusting and immoral.

It's okay for Crist if it will benefit current people. The unborn as spare parts - no, no, no. Calling Dr. Mengele, calling Dr. Mengele.

[floriduh voter]

Find out who's doing the NBC debate next week and email them a question. They may or may not use it since adoptions were already covered tonight.

It's anybody's guess what topics they'll cover next week.

[floriduh voter]

Dr. Dave Weldon is a fabulous GOP leader.

Add to that the fact that embryonic stem cell research has produced no results, and shows no promise. So what is the reason for using them?

You know what would make me nervous, if I were a Floridian?

The fact that Donald Trump, the casino and real estate guy, hosted fundraisers on Crist's behalf.

Donald Trump, tried to take a woman's home away from her, to expland on his casinos in New Jersey. (I don't think he was successful, though.)

However, with Charlie Crist beholding to Trump, eminent domain could be the rule in Florida.

[floriduh voter]

I pinged one Crist supporter to this thread. His small band of supporters here are strangely absent. Maybe they're having a pity party over the sniffling, can't do math, name dropping, live and let live kind a guy who believes in freedom or America when he can't think of what to say who wants me to subsidize adoptions at the rate of $5,000 per kid until they reach 18 years of age!

THAT SOUNDS LIKE SOCIALISM TO ME.

I wonder if there are any "child protective services" that actually protect children. I know that's not what they do in NJ. It's criminal what they do to kids here.
