Terry, a nationally known abortion opponent and spokesman for Terri Schiavo's parents this year, is scheduled to announce today he will run to unseat King next year. He had previously announced he was considering a run.

Terry says the district has no room for moderation and that he can better represent Republican principles.

"I want a smaller government, lower taxes and more respect of life and marriage," he said Tuesday.

King helped lead a group of nine Republican senators who blocked a bill aimed at saving Schiavo, sealing the brain-damaged woman's fate. She died March 31, and autopsy results released last week showed she indeed had severe and irreversible brain damage.

He is the only one of the nine up for re-election next year.

Come on FTU, print this quote by King! Pretty please with sugar on top!!

"When all of us decided we were going to vote no, it wasn't to be disruptive. It wasn't even to be collegial, said Sen. Jim King, R-Jacksonville, the author of the state's death with dignity law. We did so because in our heart of hearts we thought it was the right thing to do for Terri and
it was certainly the right thing for people who are like Terri."

Great choice.

RINO vs. huckster.

Sad, isn't it?

Don't we have any better choices down there?

Well I realize that some view Randall as an opportunist but I have to give him credit for having the guts to go against King.

[wideawake]

Looks like Jim King just wanted Terri's food for himself.

[tutstar]

Thing is there are others who could run against King but I think they are intimidated by King's campaign contributions list, which I might add is not without controversy.

Or worse.

...I have to give him credit for having the guts to go against King.

What guts? You just run against him.

When Randall was quoted as stating: "I want a smaller government, lower taxes and more respect of life and marriage," my only thought was

What a joke! I wonder if Randall will ask his first wife to campaign with him. As far as I know, this man has shown no respect for marriage.

[tutstar]

He's not missing out is he?

[tutstar]

That is not my calling in life.

Seems like you may not be too familiar with King and the area to have said that.

I know for a fact the reason some won't run against King is his track record on campaign contributions. I personally think that's a poor excuse not to try to get a RINO our of office.

[tutstar]

And Jim King has?

ROTFLMAO!!! This guy has an extremely low rating in the "family values" category.

The Campaign 2006 section for placement later on. This is fine in news activism until things heat up.

Jim King received donations that are in double digit millions in 2004 from trial lawyers that aren't even Floridians. When is that going to be investigated? Jim King is a lobbyist's best friend.

A person went to meet with Jim King and King scared this person to the point where they became physically ill. Jim King told them "If we were starving you for example, (in their face), I'd take a swab and moisten the inside of your mouth for you." He took his fat finger and waved it at this person's mouth.

True story with witnesses. FV

Shouldn't we hate abortion? Shouldn't we hate the acceptance of starving/dehydrating the disabled and elderly?
