TALLAHASSEE - The debate over Florida's public campaign financing program turned ugly Thursday when Republican Sen. Ronda Storms mocked President Barack Obama as "The Messiah" and a Democratic colleague made a vulgar retort.
It didn't escalate beyond that, and they agreed that voters should be able to decide whether to get rid of the program that gave statewide candidates more than $11 million in taxpayer money during 2006 elections.
The Senate Transportation and Economic Development Appropriations Committee unanimously approved putting a proposal to repeal the public campaign financing program on the 2010 ballot.

well since you CAN’T mention EARS,HIS MIDDLE NAME,HIS BIRTH RECORDS,HIS FRIENDS,HIS SCHOOL RECORDS,.......whatya expect?
You forgot “ethnicity”.
“Sen. Mike Fasano, a New Port Richey Republican who is chairman of the committee, told Storms, “Please be respectful of the president. ... He is the president of this country.””
obama is a community organizing con-man...you want me to respect that? I don’t think so.
Wait, They’re giving the Republican the negative-news headline, and not mentioning the name of the Democrat who gave the “vulgar retort?”
obama is a community organizing con-man...you want me to respect that? I don’t think so......
2008 Community Organizer = 1968 Communist Agitator
Rhonda is a piece of work! She was on city council when I lived there. I expect to see her in congress, or as gov of FL.
You forgot “ethnicity”.
You mean that he’s half white? Oh yea, he ignored that when he campaigned. Never mind.
calling him a socialist appears to be rather high on his
sensitivity list.
The “vulgar reply” from Democrat state Senator Chris Smith was recorded as “Don’t p*ss on me and call it raining, I know what you were doing, and I called you on it.”
Are there any questions?
well then, that is calling the kettle black.
I agree the President should be treated with respect, however i am inclined to show as much respect to a RAT president as the Rats show to Repub Presidents.
Don’t pizz on me and tell me it’s raining is “vulgar retort”? Not where I grew up.
Being peripherally involved in the Legislative process on occasion, I find that most other legislators are a little afraid of Ms. Storms!
I am reminded of a song from decades ago, “Help Me, Rhonda”, written by Brian Wilson and his cousin Mike Love. The song was released as a single which was released by The Beach Boys in 1965 through Capitol Records.
>> Obama has been called the Messiah by his own people, yet when a Republican says it, it’s a hate crime.
In that sense, the “M” word is just like the “N” word.
OK for black wrappers to play, but not OK for whitey to say.
monkey see, monkey do...
“it’s just a figure of speech”
like “lipstick on a pig”.
“Now, apparently, referring to Barack Hussein Obama as “the Messiah” has become an insult. “
When said sarcastically, of course it’s meant as insult. What else could it be?
“The “vulgar reply” from Democrat state Senator Chris Smith was recorded as “Don’t p*ss on me and call it raining, I know what you were doing, and I called you on it.”
That’s vulgar? Shoot, that just a colloquialism where I live. Sort of like “He was so drunk he couldn’t hit the floor with his hat.”
