McBride on the environment?

Lawyer’s own words make best case against him

TALLAHASSEE - When asked to explain his position on Florida’s environment during last Friday’s gubernatorial debate, corporate lawyer Bill McBride gave the following rambling, confusing answer. His own words make the best argument against his candidacy for governor in a state where environmental issues are so critically important.

“Well, I think growth, ah, growth and, ah, the environment are so interrelated,” said McBride. “Ah, we need, ah, we need to start viewing Florida as, ah, as one. What goes on in Jacksonville does effect what goes on in Orlando. Ah, we’ve got traffic congestion all over Florida. And, acutely such in Orlando area and South Florida. Ah the environment of Florida is so fragile. What this Governor has, has talked about, ah, ah it, it frankly, in a lot of circumstances just hasn’t occurred. Ah, the offshore drilling controversy- that was a promise made back during the elections. Ah, you should know in your heart that off shore drilling is bad for Florida. Ah, I do.

“The Everglades is such a fragile ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, agreement and the Governor of Florida needs to make sure he protects it. Now I think that what we need to do is make sure that growth management and growth is managed by us, or it’s gonna manage us.

“Now, the environment of Florida is so fragile, we need to protect our land and our water and our beaches. Ah, I know about, ah, ah this state as, ah, and I’ve lived in here almost fifty years. But what we need right now is we need to get a balance between our growth and we need to get a balance that protects, ah, the most treasured resources of Florida. That is our land, our water and our beaches. We’ve got a water crisis coming up. I propose that the Governor of the state take an active role in making sure that we, ah, we protect our water, that we make sure that each region cooperates and the Governor’s the executive that can make sure that happens.”

McBride's debate appearance last Friday night speaks for itself. Let his words do the talking and let the people of Florida see how little McBride knows about Florida and what it takes to be Governor!

Please send this to anyone you know in the State of Florida including all the newspaper and ask them if this is the person they want for Governor.

No kidding and to think this guy is a lawyer. No wonder the law firm put him in administration instead of the Court Room!

McBride doesn't understand anything about being Governor of Florida. His only claim to fame, is that he beat Janet Reno (and this was with the help of the DNC and the Florida Teacher's Union.).

The debate showed beyond any doubt that Jeb is the better of the two. The only ones who sided with McBride were his own cronies, and some of the mainstream (liberal) media.

I recommend that someone post it or at least visit www.sptimes.com today... He must have been a heck of an administrator. McB's on his third campaign manager due to a personality conflict with the last one. It's hard to work with slow learners like McB.

FEA/campaign managers are getting axed by McB. Whatta guy. He really cares about teachers - they're dropping like flies in McB's campaign.

I still think it comes down to his wife's bank job at Bank of America. He was a figurehead at H & K pretty much but they SHARED CLIENTS. Her bank clients were retained at H & K and he sent their law firm clients to the bank.

That's why he never talks about his wife with "her" SIX MILLION DOLLARS. Can't go there.

I'm very concerned about this election. Does anyone think that there is a chance Floridians will elect this "beholden to the teachers' unions, trial lawyer"? Please. Give me some input.

I loved what you sent to McB, BWB. Do we have a Beavis & Butthead ticket with McB and Rossin? McB's been quietly
re-tooling his campaign this week. Maybe he blew a tire on the flatbed truck (or worse).

Is Mr. Bill still contesting the fairness of the first debate?
p.s. His hands look like jello-filled gloves in this pic too!

Wow.

I predict that McBride's polls were at an all time high after the election, and things will taper off.

From everything I have heard, Jeb is in a great position to win this Governor's race. And with the help of Freepers he will pull away even more as the truth comes out!
