Florida state rep. Jennifer Carroll spoke at the opening of the GOP Minority Headquarters in Jacksonville. The Florida Times-Union said Rick Scott will announce Carroll as his running mate in the Florida governor's race. (Photo by Kay B. Day)Gubernatorial GOP candidate Rick Scott plans to announce his running mate in Jacksonville, Fla. on Thursday, but the Florida Times-Union has already called it for popular state rep. Jennifer Carroll (Fla.-13). Carroll is well known to Republicans in the Sunshine State and is that rare stateswoman who advocates self-reliance and the value of education. I’ve talked to Carroll at various political events and Scott couldn’t pick a better nominee for Lt. Governor.

Democratic Governors Association bashes Scott in letter but apparently sinks into amnesia

DateWednesday, September 1, 2010 at 11:24AM

GOP gubernatorial candidate Rick Scott spoke to Republican women in Jacksonville.How desperate are Democrats as November approaches? On Tuesday the DGA sent a letter to the Republican Governors Association. The letter bashed GOP gubernatorial candidate Rick Scott, using the tactics of Scott’s opponent in the Republican Primary to reiterate criticism over the fines HCA paid--$1.7 billion—after the administration of President Bill Clinton undertook an investigation based on whistleblowers’ allegations.

The final act of desperation came when the DGA asked the RGA to oppose Scott’s candidacy.

While the letter focused on Scott, there should have been a reality check regarding the Democrat candidate’s own background. Did the DGA sink into amnesia regarding Sink?

Small Business Jobs and Credit Act a legislative boondoggle 

DateTuesday, August 31, 2010 at 8:44AM

President Barack Obama returned from vacation and quickly lambasted Republicans for holding his so-called small business lending bill “hostage.” The US Report took a look at HR 5297, the Small Business Jobs and Credit Act of 2010. Many pundits are railing against the GOP for holding up a small business lending and jobs bill. Not a single newspaper or online publisher I scanned mentions the bill number or the bill specifics—the reader is basically offered political fact. The bill is a boondoggle in the truest sense of the word—a government effort with little practical value enacted to reward cronies.

DateMonday, August 30, 2010 at 2:38PM

Darryl Rouson, District 55, based in St. Petersburg, praised Crist at the South County Civic Center before a crowd of about 100 voters who braved the rain to snack on bagels and meet the Republican-turned-Independent.”

Aside from a phantom knife in Rep. Kendrick Meek’s back, what’s wrong with that sentence from the newspaper?

The US for the first time ever has filed a Human Rights Report as part of the Universal Periodic Review with the United Nations Human Rights Council. Democrat President Barack Obama is the first commander-in-chief to seek and obtain a seat on that council.
