Florida Republican: "I see hardly any independent thinking occurring among our elected officials. "



Hope springs eternal when a Republican talks like this.....SHE has a heart:-)

http://www.chronicleonline.com/content/things-are-worse-you-may-think



By Nancy Argenziano



.....I believe that the millions of dollars from the mega corporations that the Republican Party hijackers get in their sweet-sounding slush funds, like the “Committee to Create a Beautiful World” are given with the purpose of pushing the corporate hegemony, which is advancing rapidly throughout the country. While I am not anti-corporation, I certainly do not want my country run by the mega corporations. I see the same legislation in many states. My son and many of your sons and daughters are not serving this country in our military to hand our democracy over to mega corporations. Veterans should be outraged.

I see hardly any independent thinking occurring among our elected officials.

Whether you are of a particular party, or no party, you cannot want an elected official who just follows. Why have separate districts? Not many of us get to vote for the leaders of any party, just for those who run from our own districts and we should expect that they remember where they came from and vote for the interests of their districts as well as the Constitution they swore to uphold.

I have been asked by many people to run for elected office again, to stay involved. I have had inquiries to see what I have been doing. I am still here, despite those who wish I were gone, and have been working on PSC changes and I hope to gain citizen support. .....:-) :-)

1. American Republicans = Soviet Communists
Talk to my friends who fled the Soviet Union and EVERY one of them will tell you that the Republican Party is absolutely the same as the Soviet Communist Party. Both believe the ends justify the means and they both destroy anything in their way. Grover Norquist's Wednesday Group works just the same as the Soviet Communist Party Politburo. And they also point out how Megachurches act the same way in America as Communist Party cells did in the USSR. Both pass on the talking points and demand total conformity to the Party line...

2. They all act like they belong to the same Country Club.
Group think gets you further down the line.

3. One thing I learned a long long time ago....You can't trust a Republican
As long as she stays a Republican, I won't believe a single thing she says. Even if she says the sky is blue and water is wet.

4. may be but what she said about what gov voldemort and our
repub legislature have wrought is totally accurate. florida is in deep doo-doo and if even one repub sees this, perhaps there is hope that not all repubs are blinded by ideology.

5. hehe... the politicians think we will never agree on anything
but soon, voters from different political parties will be fighting on the same side. The so-called conservatives in both parties are about to find out that they aren't as clever as their "Think Tanks" have been telling them they are.
