Obama: The Most Popular Insult In Florida

Trying to tie each other to Obama seems to be the name of the game down in Florida.

Oh, that’s just for the primaries. For the general election, whoever wins will run as a ‘fiscally responsible moderate’, and you’ll be hard-pressed to find the word ‘Republican’ in any of their advertisements.

Rubi-con used his GOP credit card to the hilt, all the while saying he was different from most pols. Heck, I’d be happy if Charlie became an “independent” so he can shear some of Marco Polo’s votes and Meek can sneak in.

I love this. They are both accusing the other of being nice to the first minority president in our history. “Your friends with the first black president” “or “no you are nice to our first minority president, since you hugged him.”
.
In the future this will be as petty as when Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier in baseball and all the white baseball players would do anything not to be associated with the first black major league player. Fifty years later that looks pretty silly as Jackie Robinson is a legend and those that were against him look like the clowns.

I imagine Rubi-con’s poll numbers are up primarily ’cause he’s not Charlie and the tea party fascists love him. Reality’s taking a little bite out of him each day, however.

No, Adam, THE Hug™ was McCain and George W. Bush.

BO took the state in ’08, NPole. Exactly why do these two guys think they can insult a large voting bloc and think that come November we’ll conveniently forget??

It looks like, after seniors and other Floridians discover that this is nothing like a hostile “government takeover” of medicine that the Florida Senate seat will go to the Democrat.

Baseball-speaking, Ty Cobb, that black-hating, surly miscreant, is in the Hall; Pete Rose bet on baseball games and can’t get a sniff. What up with that??

Dang I hope so. The state Legislature’s about to make teachers beg for their supper:

Well we better rename it then. The Everglade Embrace? The Sunshine State Squeeze? Cape Canaveral Canoodle? I’m open to ideas.

I completely agree. The hall is not a popularity contest. Rose should be in no doubt. Same for Shoeless Joe Jackson, ok I may be a little biased on that one.

I like those picks, esp. Everglade Embrace. Others could include:
Fed Stimulus Snuggle
Yes We Can (Embrace)
The $787 Billion Cuddle
Heavy Petting in Fort Myers
$787 Billion Terms of Endearment

Here’s a question: Is it better for the dem. party (or America) to have Rubio & Hayworth in Congress or the blokes they’re trying to replace?

Let’s not forget that Florida was the site of the last hostile “government takeover”.

Blokes!
LOL
English accents sometimes make me feel like I will wet my trousers if I don’t hurry about the WC.

The Mutt Muzzle?

Don’t worry, during the general election the GOP candiate will be busy taking credit for the stimulus package and the parts of the health care bill they like (ala Grassley).

@patricksartor: I was just looking at a thread from yestertday and you asked where I lived. I live in Ohio near the river. We live on a hilltop in the country. I also live next to a church parsonage. They’re Presbies and aren’t too bad. The MIL’s church are redneck looney toons. Her minister and I almost got into a fistfight the last time he came to the house. We also got into a yelling match at Wal-Mart a few weeks ago. He called me a heathen and I suggested (at high volume) that he may be familiar with the taste of male genitalia. I love it here.

My geography of Ohio is weak, so, I am only guessing that you are not near Akron.
…
Two of my Uncles, originally from Queens, now live in Akron.
….
They are both Republicans.
…
I hadn’t been there for more than twenty years until I stopped by twice this fall.
…
Akron is, apparently, split between Democrats and Republicans.
…
I am in NYC. Not too many Republicans here.

I used to live very near Akron. A small town called Wadsworth. I’m 10 miles from Steubenville now. It’s east central Ohio. With the bypass they put in, we’re a bedroom community of Pittsburgh. The housing prices more than doubled here in about 8 years. Luckily, I bought my place before the bypass went in, otherwise I couldn’t have afforded the place I live in now. I’m almost at retirement age and hate to think about selling this place, but my wife and I don’t really need a 3,000 square foot house once my son moves out and I kill my MIL.

Rubio will cruise through the primary and then comfortably win in the general, bank on it. And then hopefully everyone who crowed about it being foolish to support Rubio over Crist because of Rubio’s “un-electability” (ie, politics over ideology) will feel stupid.

Yeah I doubt that Rubio, as a Hispanic American and the son of Cuban parents would have a problem with Obama being a racial minority.
.
That is unless you subscribe to the theory of: all opposition to Obama= because he’s black.

Do you really think so? Not even close?

You mean in the primary or the general?

The general. Btw, has your difficulty been taken care of yet? If so, I hope you came out well.

Because the donut hole in medicare is going to be closed, I would think that many in FL would be impacted.

‘Long as we got at least 51, I’m cool with it. It’s not like they’ll have any real power for at least two years [I'm hoping six] anyway.

Just the cops, jpl.

I suggest you carefully read the story from the Herald/SPT that AS referred to. Your golden boy reminds me of the emperor’s new clothes. If he’s so fiscally responsible why’d he use the GOP Express card to travel…especially when he could easily afford it?

nfl: Shakes head and laughs.

Well, comfortably can mean a lot of different things I guess. To me it means winning by 6 points or higher. I wasn’t suggesting that it’ll be as easy as the primary (notice I changed descriptors between the two in my original post), which most assuredly will be a blowout. I don’t think the outcome will ever seriously be in doubt though. The anti-Washington feeling this season is just too high for the insider to win.
.
Nothing new has really happened with my case, thank you for asking though. The only thing new that has come up is the city sent me something in the mail about it. I’ll spare you the details (unless you want them, it’s pretty funny), but it was basically trying to trick me into admitting guilt. I couldn’t decide if I was more insulted by it or more amused. What a great use of tax dollars.

Cue McCartney and Wonder

I just talked to a friend in Florida last night and he thinks Rubio will easily beat Crist in the primary but that the general is going to be too close to call. He’s a Rubio supporter but thinks Rubio may be too conservative to win easily (if at all).

Details please (especially if it’s funny). I got popped once and tested positive for 12 out of the 15 things they tested for. That was in the 70′s though when it was mandatory to party.

Stuff just comes out at this late hour

Then you have to factor in those RUMORS about his sexuality….

I understand completely. The night can be fun. I strained a shoulder muscle 2 weeks ago and just took two of my Vicodin ES’s a little while ago. That’s one of the great things about being middle aged and looking like a cop. The doctor asks you if 30 will be enough and then gives you a refill just in case. The last time he gave me a prescription I took less than half of them and forgot about them. I think my MIL scarfed the rest down.

My three overweight cats only look like they took Vicodin.

Slightly OT: I see where the NFL’s trying to curb all the marijuana use by draftees. Good luck with that one. I’d never use it but if it were up to me I’d tax it and tell users to stay home.

Speaking of overweight cows…the MIL has more prescriptions than Elvis and took one too many pain pills the other night. She literally melted out of the chair and slid onto the floor. My wife told me to help her so I threw a blanket over her and went to bed.

Wow. I think I’ll do that to MY wife before she slides off the couch G’NITE!

Yeah. it’s late for me too. I have to get up at 9 and pick up a new mirror for the game room. Goodnight.

interesting, nflfoghorn. I’ll watch to see how that turns out. I’m happy to see that they are moving in the right direction for OT rules.
.
WOW sacredh, 12 things? I don’t know if I’ve said this before, but I wanna party with YOU. Or you can come party with me in Austin!
.
And thanks for posting what your friend in FL said, it’s always good to get some local perspective. I think a lot of it will depend on how Rubio presents himself to voters after he wins the primary, particularly with whether or not he tries to move to the center.
.
Well the letter they sent me told me about some program they are running for “Non-violent, misdemeanor, first time 17-21 year old offenders”. It says that the program gets you a deferred charge instead of a conviction. Then at the bottom it had a list of requirements, most of them basic, except one of them said “A written admission of wrongdoing”. Then below that list it said “meeting all the listed requirements does not guarantee admittance to this program”. So basically they could/will take an admission of guilt from you, tell you they are not taking you in the program…and then they would still have a confession to use against you. Honestly I thought they would’ve been a bit more clever.
.
Needless to say I’m not having anything to do with that, especially since a deferred charged is the worst that I am expecting will happen (I’m hoping for a dismissal). I asked my lawyer just to be sure and his reply was the equivalent of “f that sh!t”. I love it when the government tries to outsmart me.

nfl, I actually hope it starts a trend, if it hasn’t already. The whole idea of marijuana == BAD!! –> War on Drugs is a waste, anyway. Maybe the NFL will say, “Well, all them kids is using the dope, and there’s nary much we kin do ’bout it, so we might well legalize it,” spurring legislators to extract their heads from their butts and make it legal.
.
Can’t wait until I can light a doobie and not worry about the cops confiscating everything I own. Ah, for 1982, again…

You left wing anti_Americans would like nothing better than the phony Obama’s @ss kissing Charlie “I’m not really a conservative” Crist gaining the nomination.
BTW Adam Obama is viewed as the devil incarnate here in the real Florida. Meeks represents the socialist freeloaders and big govt handout addicts.

Correction: First radical Marxist President!

Retardomax,
…
Do you have the slightest idea what health care reform is?
…
Are you aware that you now will get an insurance card handed to you by your employer if you are not self employed?
…
Are you aware that this is a bill exactly like Republican Bob Dole had proposed for Republicans eighteen years ago?
…
I mean, just because your buddies in Florida do not know what this bill was about does not mean that you should be as ignorant as your least intelligent friends.
…
I was sure that I heard a Cuban rage in your text.
Now you explain that you are from the most Cuban-American state in the US.
…
You need to get away from this influence since the facts will show you that this is no more “communist” than when employers or the self employed in many professions must buy worker compensation insurance.
…
When I see a confused conservative come online once, I feel bad for him.
…
You just won’t believe anything anybody explains to you no matter what.
…
You think paying taxes for your disabled neighbor to eat or your working poor neighbor to get to a doctor’s office is the same as Fidel Castro.
…
Castro took all private businesses, put opposition leaders in jail, took over the media, got rid of elections, had him and his friends pick out the price and quantity of every good and service Cubans were allowed to purchase.
…
You have something wrong with you.
Eres enfermo en la cabeza.
(You’re insane).

BTW: Worker’s compensation began for the first time in 1855.
…
So, it predates the end of slavery.
…
How old of an “American tradition” do you want?
…
It predates the first communist government in Russia in 1917 by sixty two years!
…
Using the government to require employers to take care of employees isn’t something communists taught Americans. It is what Americans and Western Europeans taught Communists.
…
The Communist Party, also, believed in civil rights.
…
Does that mean, since, separately, complete non-Communists like Martin Luther King Jr., also believed in civil rights that all of us are Communist for making sure that no state will prevent you from voting?
…
If not, then why the fk would you think that if both very anti-communist people and communists think going to a doctor is a good idea for poor people as well as rich people that we are heading for communism?

Retardomax: the most recent mental patient online.

Retardomax:
You need to start, also, calling yourself a communist if you want to follow right wing thought:
http://usm.edu/crdp/html/cd/communism.htm#audio
…
If you think taking care of sick people means communism, then, I guess in the 1950s and 1960s when they said letting blacks and Latinos vote and live anyplace they can afford to live is, also, communist, too.
…
Read and learn.
…
Big business has been using the word “communist” to deny workers union representation, health care, a minimum wage, social security and everything Americans have ever enjoyed.
…
Now big business has you bamboozled, too.
…
By the way, look up Richard Nixon. His health care proposals were far more interventionist than this.
…
Look up Bob Dole, Republican Candidate for President in 1996 and you will see that Obama, basically, copied and pasted Bob Dole’s plan and made it even more conservative.
…
So, you and Bob Dole can call yourselves Communists and hail your communist party.
…
I will enjoy a country with good health care.

Here’s a song for you when “Communists” were giving blacks and Latinos protection for the right to go out and vote.
…

…
Progressives, if you know this song it is funny.

apollyon07: So if you admit guilt they MIGHT be nice? I think you’re correct in reject their semi-generous offer.
.
You’d be very disappointed in partying with me. I’ve been boring for the last quarter of a century. If the doctor doesn’t prescribe it, I don’t do it. I’m not much of a drinker either. I haven’t even had as much as a speeding ticket since 1979.
