Just heard that a group of 300 Cuban Americans are coming out in support for Janet Reno in the Cuban Community on the local Fox station on the west coast of Florida here in the Ft. Myers/Naples area. There is a HUGE Hispanic community here and the one guy they just showed was just shown saying " Yes we know all too well about her involvement with the Elian case, but she did her job and what she had to do to bring a father and son together and I believe people realize that and we are here to let her know that not every Cuban is voting in 2002 for Jeb Bush."
I will post more when I see the full report on this at 11. Supposedly they are starting or have started some Democratic Cubans For Reno 2002 campaign. The Cuban vote is not a lock after all.
Reno's everywhere in Florida, and doesn't the press just love her? Next to Castro, she may be AP's favorite new pol.
Did you hear about Reno's invitation to the "Do the Right Thing" awards banquet to honor heroic kids in Ft. Myers a few weeks back? Do the right thing? Kids? Invited by the Ft. Myers Police Dept., and WBBH-NBC.
The Dems. learned this past election that they can get away with bold faced lies and the Florida media will back them up and assist in rewriting history. The Republicans who hollered loud and long about Dem. voter fraud never saw their complaints in print or investigated. Here in mostly conservative Lee County we have one paper with a liberal owner/editor and liberal broadcast TV news.
We need Florida conservative groups/websites/organizations working to fight the RAT infestation. I'm still responding to accusations of election theft with e-mails, calls and letters, but it would be so great to have one Republican, preferably a former Marine, tell JJ, Gore, McAuliffe, and all their pundit pals, "BULL!"
Being born in Kendall Lakes myself and a native Floridian I sense there will be some burning of tires and things when she attempts to campaign in Dade. But she is not afraid of the west coast though, that much I can say.
I'm sitting here smiling. It's going to be wonderful to see you good Cuban-Americans getting a full swing at the "Waco baby burner," and "Elian kidnapper." Good luck in your efforts to make an example out of the wretch. I hope she isn't just beaten in the election but completely humiliated which is the least that can be done to a woman who has so disregarded the laws and constitution of the United States.
Wanna bet?>>>>
NO WAY
We Cuban-Americans down here have our knives out, ready to cut her up....Reno is the talk around town and we're walking around today with huge grins on our faces, waiting on '02.>>>>
Oh I bet it is and I know the streets will be filled for the next 14 months with protests. It should be fun.
The better question is, "Will decent ANGLO voters in upstate Florida bring it home for Jeb?">>>>>
NO. I think Jeb might have himself in a bigger hole than most are aware of. I think the Dems are going to turn out in HUGE numbers in this thing bigger than ever just to defeat the name Bush once and for all. Seriously.
Actually these people were from Golden Gate. At least that is where it said at the bottom of it. This area is big with Mexicans mainly but does have a large Cuban base that works in the hotel and resort industry in Collier and Lee counties.
Good golly! Breaking news and all! Dear headache......methinks you've overstated your message here.....especially in light of the fact that you state that it comes from the Ft. Myers/Naples area.....LOLOLOL!
I can guarantee you that the cuban american community here in South Florida is a dead lock for our great Governor Bush.
Bingo!!!!! Your post hit the nail on the head. She is a hero to alot of people in Florida...whether some Freepers can stomach this or not...I know it is still 2001 but...it is time to have some fun with Janet.
Let's check the facts here......
Are you implying something here? There happen to be alot of Freepers from this area and a ton of voters. Bush carried this area in 2000 but just up the road Gore creamed him and so did Buddy McKay back in the 2nd Jeb run.If any corruption is going to happen it will happen with the mix that is here...in the middle of Naples and Ft.Myers there is the richest of the rich and the poorest of the poor.
Also don't forget that GORE lost his own state and West-by-God-Virginia on the strength of the Clinton gun control acts. And who was the architect of those? Who has already come out in favor of registering not just guns...but GUN OWNERS as well? Yup.
The northern part of the state is loaded with military retirees, too. Who is going to be heavily associated with suppressing the votes of military personnel overseas? She'll win the Democrap Primary...but not before I hope her own challengers point all these facts out to their bretheren. Then Jeb will take her out to the woodshed for her just deserts.
I might as well..lol.They will probably be shocked that someone was watching them and not the cable channel.
We are going to cook her goose. I cannot wait to punch that pregnant, dimpled or whatever chad.
