Luis, can you believe the Florida GOP lowered themselves to running a carpetbagging TEXAN for Governor of FLORIDA? His WHOLE family is in Texas, was it was Jeb failed to get elected to ANY office in his home state? Was the Flordia GOP so DESPERATE that they couldn't find ANYONE from Florida to run in 1994? Millions of native Flordians are NONE of them were qualified? I mean Florida is the 4th largest state, just beating out in Illinois. I guess the Florida GOP is even more pathetic than the ILGOP.
Well Luis, it's bad the rest of the state didn't follow your lead and vote for Buddy McKay, a LIFELONG Floridian. At least you're consistant in your hatred of carpetbaggers that you were willing to support Democrat McKay, right? It's such an embarrassment that the current Governor probably can't even find Miami-Dade on a map, eh Luis? (oh and the fact he ran statewide in Florida numerous times before doesn't count -- certainly didn't count with the current GOP Senate nominee in Illinois)
Ah, don't worry, you can switch to the RAT party and help oust the Diaz-Balart . Did you know their whole family, including their grandfather, father, and uncle served in the CUBAN legislature before Castro took over? The nerve of these guys to CARPETBAG it to Florida and take a seat that RIGHTFULLY belonged to a native Florida resident! You CERTAINLY wouldn't tolerate a guy who's family held posts in Maryland running for an Illinois seat, so we all know you'll hold the Balart family to the same standard and DEMAND they head back to Cuban and run for the family's TRADITIONAL seat.
After all, you're not a hypocrite, right Luis?
