"Castro" what a great name!!!
Nice to see Peter Douchebag get his hairy ass spanked. Especially since Alcee Hastings is his biggest supporter.
What's the outlook for the General Election?
Terri ping! I know it's not final, but it looks pretty bad for Govan right now.
Thanks, Theodore!
I guess the Republican voters of Pinellas and Pasco counties just want an incumbent widely identified as a "Republican" regardless of his liberal judicial philosophy.
It seems that way.
He also had Michael F-ING Moore verbally endorse him in his commercial. D'oh! Ass kicked.
The St. Petersburg Times (aka West Coast Pravda) is apparently worried that Mel Martinez has a good chance to beat "Jihad Betty" Castor, because they tried to sabotage his campaign by yanking their endorsement of him at the last minute, (IMO the only reason they endorsed him in the first place was so they could pull this little stunt) and instead endorsed McCollum, whom they feel Jihad Betty can handle in the general.
Nice to see that the voters apparently saw through this ploy, and we may even have to thank the Pravda for driving up Mel's numbers - the polls showed McCollum and Martinez to be deadlocked.
They are totally unaware of the true nature of the story. The news says stuff like "Brain damaged woman in privacy case - her husband wants the life support removed and Jeb Bush and the legislature interfered." Rarely are the parents mentioned or shown. The implication is that Terri is comatose, on tons of expensive life support, and the government is interfering in family business against their will.
I have never seen a judge down here removed - people will keep them in if they've let murderers out of prison - which some of them have done.
Also, Greer ran tons of high quality commercials, and had the establishment backing, and newspaper backing. Govan I never even saw a commercial or sign until the day of the election. And the commercial looked homemade.
I had a prolife person in the republican party tell me to "vote my conscience" on this, which was code that he was voting for Greer. I proceeded to give him some specifics of the case, which he seemed unfamiliar with, but I could tell he had already made up his mind. Greer is a "really nice guy" he told me, "and very well respected, conservative, and follows the law".
Michael is a demon from hell. I just don't know how he can be brought to justice for what he has done. I know one day he will face the Great Judge guilty of murder, but that won't save Terri now.
A guy running for judge RAN COMMERCIALS?
What BS. I don't think I've ever seen that before.
Heavenly Father, we return to give You thanks that Your good and perfect will cannot be thwarted, and this we must claim by faith, for the one for whom we prayed has been denied his office. Thank You for these dear ones who have worked long and hard to see the election of one who holds as precious the life of this mother's child. Shower blessings upon them, O God, for their cause is just. We continue to look to You that Terri's life will be spared ... that court-sanctioned murder will be denied ... that You will yet call her forth from her dungeon in hell, that she might be warmed in the sunlight of her family's love. In the Name of Jesus, we praise You for all who have expended their time and talents for Terri. Amen ...
I know. I was surprised too. It made me think he might be in trouble. Guess I was wrong.
They were good commercials too, touting all his endorsements and people talking about how honest he was. But reading Terri's site you can see otherwise. He shares in Michael's guilt for the murder of his wife, as far as I can see.
I just don't understand why the Republican Party would support someone who is directly responsible for the attempted murder by the state of an innocent woman.
Obviously a typo. However, I wonder if Castor's name can be used against her...just a thought.
Mel's going to sweep the Cuban vote so there's not much point in Castrocizing Castor.
Actually, a Clinton-Kerry Democrat operative-journalist, the popular Eleanor Clift of Newsweek, answered your question last week on "The McLaughlin Group," PBS. She said the GOP just endorses "prolife" in platforms but does nothing to further the cause and has no intention of doing so. It's a wink-and-nod strategy, she said. The fact that the partial birth abortion ban has thus far apparently halted not one abortion fits into her theory.
Pegita, you're right. We cannot depend on deceitful politicians or ignorant voters -- but only on the Almighty.
Pegita, thank you for always being here with inspirational prayers. You lift my spirits, and boost my faith, at times when that's a real challenge.
