we had primaries here in fla...after months of the now "accepted form of negative campaigning" the two parties have found their men and women...i was pleasantly surprised with my own party for tossing aside the billionaire profligate banker...in favor of the embedded and corrupt politico from south florida...now you might ask how that was a better choice...and i figure it this way...the entrenched politician...taking a grand here for a vacation...using his amex card for car repairs and weekends in south beach or... or the man who made billions betting against under capitalized home loans...the same guy whose 110 foot mega yacht destroyed a Belize reef ...no brainer..why he is a democrat anyway... i have no fuckin idea...sounds like there just wasn't enough room on the republican ticket...now the republicans on the other hand...never cease to amaze me with their zeal to succeed...they elected the ex ceo of the largest healthcare company in the southeast...the same company ...
