Should be on billboards all over Florida




/////////////////////////////

They don’t understand what governing is…

government is an institution through which leaders exercise power to make and enforce laws. A government's basic functions are providing leadership, maintaining order, providing public services, providing national security, providing economic security, and providing economic assistance.

I will add….thru the fair and judicious use of taxation….which has been sorely lacking.

But we have a candidate for Senate right now, Tiffany Smiley, and I had to work to make sure I got the last name correct. I seem to have selective dyslexia when I read her name I could swear it says Slimey.

11. Why???

Because the majority of voters here want to pay less taxes for government to provide these services. And of course save the money to send immigrants to other states so we don't keep them here.

This is all I hear people bitching about here.

If that’s how they sneer at genuine and compassionate interest in helping their state recover from the hurricane, then FINE. They can do without any donations from me.

There are so many other worthy causes to support, and I only have just so much to contribute.

If Democrats have a vehicle for helping hurricane victims, that would get my support. Hate to be partisan, but when these asshole choose to spit in my face and gang up against my rights, to take those rights away, this is how I’ll have to respond.

all those stations deny global warming, hate LGBTQ, hate public ed, elect shits like those, and lie lie lie

the tampa bay rays support 4 stations like that, probably a lot of others depend on other fla teams and schools

tell your newspapers to write it up and it will snowball

now they will continue to deny global warming, and like with katrina will blame all Ian problems on democrats and elect more republicans because democrats ignore it. they are loud and constant and coordinated.

UF does sports on 10 of those stations and dems should be raising hell. it's idiotic. the schools have no excuse. global warming is not a free speech issue.

from fakenewsradio.org - 16 universities in Fla, Ga, SC, NC, and Va support 60 RW ex-limbaugh stations, at least!

Why did they believe Florida should not/did not need assistance?

How is this "sticking it" to the libs?

The radicalized Republican party wants to convince people that the only protection for which we form government is from external threats by other nations. Well, they also think government should protect wealth and, of course, themselves. But no protection for you from them.

Republicans would! Fox would run it 24 hrs. a day to Election Day. And it would be effective.

But we’re talking the Democratic Party here, so…
