| In a sea of blue enters republicgirl. Yes a registered repulican venturing into a mostly, if not entirely, democratic blogosphere. But I'm not here to prove anything as much as to exchange ideas and maybe find growth in my own. So bring it, I have a good sense of humor and can take it. Most republicans I know are not so proud of the replubican party these days. Replubican ideas of old seem lost on the current crop of Politicans. Seemingly gone are the ambitions of smaller government, lower taxes, less spending, and personal freedoms. Enter in simply another way to spend and tax the life out of free enterprise, and place in another self interested politican looking for a way only to glorify him or herself. Wouldn't it be great to see a true statesman surface from either party. But it appears we have only those who wish the nation to serve them and their ideals, as oppose to serving the nation. Or for that matter the great state of Florida, from which I am born, raised, educated and currently live, work, and play in. I am so tired to the phrase "religious right" Mostly because its BS. FYI there are republicain Christians, who believe in smaller government and the constitution. And don't see the advantage of forcing the rest of the nation via the courts or the legislative branch to adhere to their private or personal beliefs. I personally see no future in the argument against row vs wade. And it is not an issue any President will truely have any meaningful impact on. As a sister of a gay brother and a gay sister, it'd be safe to say I'm not conflicted about God's love for either of them regardless of their sexual orientation. In Florida Solutions to the current property tax and insurance crisis are being blocked by fear and special interests. The school system and local governments will not collapase if snow birds and small businesses get the break they need to continue doing business in FLA. A strong arguement to the opposite could be made. If the solution that passes only addresses homesteaders, we will continue to see a sell off of second homes and investment properties, as we watch the baby boomers find more affordable options for their Second/ future retirement home. If the state's economy continues to implode we will have much bigger problems funding anything then we will if we can recaputure the retirement market before we loose it entirely. |
