TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) -- Citing the Elian Gonzalez case, Cuban-American members of the Florida House walked out of the chamber Thursday after former U.S. Attorney General Janet Reno was introduced as a visitor.

Reno, a Democratic candidate for governor, was watching from the visitors gallery as lawmakers worked in special session to cut the state budget.

Anyone who stayed as Jake Reno, the Waco barbequer of children and facist director who ordered the kidnapping of Elain at gun point, should lose their jobs!

Reno is no better than a visiting Nazi who loved and supported Hitler!

Fantastic! Showing "Sasquatch" how much respect there is out there for her! Let's not forget where she got her power.

BILLY AND HIS PET

"I know they feel very strongly, but I made a decision based on what was right for a little boy and his daddy," Reno said after leaving the chamber.

Why does she insist on refering to the boy's Father as his "DADDY". Does she like talking like a little girl or is she cunningly using the word Daddy to make people think she's warm and cuddly and not a murdering/kidnapper.

What gets me most is that she says it is what was "right." I didn't realize there was a difference between right and wrong (at least in the eyes of liberals).

You know the answer to that, I'm afraid. Cunningly dangerous I would say. She could care less about any father's rights. She was mainly concerned about Big Daddy's ("inFidel's") rights.

For Klinton and the brutal dictator Castro.

I don't blame them for taking this approach.
But I think it's better to stay, occassionally vomit into a paper bag during the
Reno's speech, and then respond with that wonderful parliamentary device of
condemnation:
very, very faint applause.

It would have been nice if they preceeded that action with a loud and long "BOOOOO!" like Hitlery received.

Oh, BS!!!!!!!!! What's with the use of  "daddy" anyway? It sounds creepy. Klintoon's and Castro's good maybe, but certinaly not Elian's. This just makes my blood boil all over again. (I sure wish I new about FR then.)

Bravo to those who walked out. I would've done the same thing.

I would have done the same thing too, but based on her butchery at Waco.
