I can't tell you how insane this whole election makes the red opposition, but I'm sure you've read about it on here or have seen it in your state too. These are the same people who fought Bill Clinton and hate every fiber in his body. They hate how he took the best ideas from both parties and made them work for the country. And the more the country succeeded, the more they hated him.

So this is how I now gauge whether we're on the right track. We must be, if that measure is any yard stick. And by the looks of the progress we've made coming out of a near depression and all completely without their help, proves it.

Thank you Floridians, for sticking it out in those long lines and sacrificing for the greater good. Keep up the fight for America and all our futures, red state & blue state, will be brighter.
Good on the People of Florida. This speaks very well for them. Scuba Nov 2012 #1
