I remember when Mario Diaz-Balert first got elected, he had a large conservative fan club that claimed even though Lincoln Diaz-Balert was a borderline RINO, his brother was "MUCH more conservative" and would be a proudly conservative reliable vote we could "count on".

I looked it up 3 years later or so, and Lincoln had a lifetime ACU rating of 72% or so, and his "much more conservative" brother Mario hovered around 74%

Screw the whole family, IMO. (and Ileana Ros-Lehtinen is even worse than BOTH of them and is basically the pro-life FL version of Olympia Snowe) Merely being pro-life and anti-Castro doesn't make you a good conservative. We need to nominate better candidates down there.

Ungood news out of Florida, some judge has partially invalidated the Congressional map, which was already too rat and cost Alan West his seat, as having “improper partisan intent”

God damn that “fair redistricting” ballot initiative or whatever it was.

“District 5, held by Democratic U.S. Rep. Corrine Brown, and District 10, held by Republican U.S. Rep. Dan Webster, “will need to be redrawn, as will any other districts affected thereby.”

Challenges to other districts were denied. Obviously the intent here is screw over Webster.
