Florida Is The Center of the Political Universe

"Tonight Florida is the center of the political universe," said Lt. Gov. Jeff Kottkamp at a private pre-debate Republican Party of Florida fundraiser that cost $1,000 to attend at the Vinoy in St. Petersburg Wednesday afternoon.

About 100 people, including lobbyists and several big name Republican fundraisers, attended the event. Guests included Gov. Charlie Crist, Congressman C.W. Bill Young, Mayor Rick Baker and Rep. Ed Homan among others.

Here’s a question for the boys…

“So… who’s ready to go to war with China… or aren’t you boys following current events? Or do you boys still think we’re soooooo loved around the world?

Anyone… anyone… Bueller… Bueller… Judy… Mitty… Jonny… Freddy?”

Bill Young was at a GOP event in St. Petersburg - wow. First one since 1980 that he has been at -

It was free on TV!

Here is a clue for the Lt. Gov.: When they've taken away your votes or cut your vote in half, you cannot claim to be the "center of the universe." In fact, if you are not raising hell about getting disenfranchised, you are a moron. If you are the second highest elected person in the a state where the votes have been canceled or halved and your sitting on the laps of the party leaders who did it and purring like a kitten, you are a worthless hump who doesn't deserve another vote in his life.
