That's it attack me, Jeb Bush said there was not a single child missing from their Child Protective Services while there were over a thousand, he ran cover for this goon, praises this goon, why? Remember, they know that the very people who were abusing the hell out of these children had in fact, illegally taken them back, but hey, what's a few children when the state of Florida is at state. He's a republican so it's okay. I'm a conservative, not a republican, and as long as the state has possesion of children they should be responsible, and this has been going on for years and Jeb has been the JANET RENO of DCS in my opinion, probably due to his earlier incorrect statements.

That's like saying if Ron Brown's aides did some illegal things, that Bill Clinton is responsible. Rubbish....the Parents and then the SOCIAL WORKERS are responsible. Like Jeb shows up and checks on ALL departments everyday...checks up on ALL THOUSANDS of employees.....Ridiculous.

If Jeb got his info from DCF, and DCF was mistaken (and unknowingly was missing the children), how do you blame Jeb?

1+1=3?

You angrily and repeatedly mention that Gov. Bush supported and praised the person who just resigned. What's wrong with that? Sticking up for your employees is terrible? Being loyal to one you hired and showing faith in that person -- who is under tremendous public pressure -- is now some kind of a crime, according to you? Aren't conservatives allowed to be fair? I think Gov Bush has been very fair to her.

When the Rilya Wilson case started, this woman who resigned really cracked down and started firing DCF workers for the first infraction because she had no choice. I saw one of the people she fired on several news shows, complaining it was unfair for him to be fired because he was overloaded with work. (There are now reportedly 700 openings at DCF. Why don't you apply for a job there, since you sound like you know how to run it?)

And, let's see if we've got this right - according to you, if you are loyal to your employees (like Gov. Bush was to her), then, that is wrong. And, if you fire your employees, like she did, then, that is wrong too.

BTW, I read your profile page and was extremely unimpressed with it. I doubt you will be interested in any information; however, for others, I am posting the following, by a Sarasota editorial writer who is now supporting Gov Bush -- but didn't the first time around. Here's why she supports him this year:

AN EARLY 'VOTE' - Governor's earned second term (Jeb Bush...FL)

…He's a quick study who has grown in office. After a boyishly shaky start, he has been gracious under criticism, reasonably honest and undeniably dedicated. His administration is remarkably efficient, by Tallahassee standards; and the career state bureaucrats who have earned respect for doing their jobs well seem to be happy in their work -- always a key indicator of what's really going on up there.

Bush is not a statesman yet -- his biases still favor politically expedient tax cuts over meaningful tax reform -- but he just might become one. He's smart; he works hard; he has shown that he can put the interests of Florida's people first…

In short, I'm willing to put politics aside, because Jeb Bush has earned my vote. …
