Dems attack Atwater

Just in case you thought this session, with all it's budget woes, wasn't ugly enough, check this out.

The Florida Democratic Party has officially signaled that traditional Senate bipartisan friendliness need not rear its head again anytime soon. Check out the party's 90-second slam of Republican senator and presumed future Senate President Jeff Atwater, now appearing on YOUTUBE.

The synopsis: Atwater's vote for a 2006 insurance bill was a vote for the insurance companies and higher rates.

The spot makes no mention of former Democratic state Sen. Skip Campbell, who is running against the incumbent.

Hey pot... Yeah its me, your good friend Kettle. Guess what? You're black!

What will Atwater's $20K a month consultant have to say about this ?

Democrats support local government overspending. Vote all democrats out.

Republicans especially in the House supports lower property taxes.

That's the stupidest video I have seen since Rod Smith's helicopter video. Must have been produced by the same Democrat weirdo.

Republicans support lower property taxes???? They are control of House, why dont they do something about it???

Republicons support public restroom perversions. Vote all Republicons out.

Democrats in the House support lower property taxes.

2:21, plz put down the bong.

Big business supports lower property taxes for themselves. Our kids and communities should do without so they can add to their profits.

Democrats are right to oppose their selfishness.

Problem Solved!

“The synopsis: Atwater's vote for a 2006 insurance bill was a vote for the insurance companies and higher rates.”

Ahhhh, that’s so noce of you boys and gals to point out who supports higher insurance rates. Wait a minute; I’ve got a thought… why don’t you folks take a few minutes away from important business like baggy pants and meaningless apologies and FIX PROPERTY INSURANCE LIKE YOU PROMIED, YOU LYING, USELESS, SELF-SERVING, PERVERTED, CSX-LOVING, CORPORATE PUPPET, PANDERING TO A VOTE THAT NEVER COMES, PIECES OF SH*T!

THE GOOD, HARD-WORKING, VOTING, TAXPAYING CITIZENS WHO WERE STUPID ENOUGH TO BUY YOUR LINE OF CAMPAIGN BULLSH*T ARE LOSING THEIR HOMES IN HISTORICAL NUMBERS… WHILE YOU OVERFED, PHOTO-OPPING, USELESS, WASTES OF CARBON SIT ON YOU FAT A*SES ON OUR DIME!

Wheeewwww… it was the Wendy’s Baconator I ate for lunch; I’m certain of it.

2:22, plz put down the 20 and get out of the restroom.

stander is hot!

"Ladies and Gentlemen, the judgement of history is in...Price Cntrols Do Not Work."

It's a shame ignorant liberals never took basic economics, but thanks for making an ad that highlights what the rest of us already knew...clowns.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, the judgement of history is in...Price Controls Do Not Work unless the rich control the Price... as far as they're concerned anyway"

It's a shame ignorant Republicons never took basic morals, but thanks for making an ad that highlights what the rest of us already knew... Republicons like to dress in clown suits and go to children's parties... weird, huh.


snappy retort 3:45 - but would you mind sharing with us a single instance where government price controls proved successful to the economy?

ignorant liberal

snappy retort 3:47 - but would you mind sharing with us a single instance where government price controls proved successful to the P&L statement?

ignorant republicon

"Ladies and Gentlemen, the judgement of history is in...Conservative economic policies are a total failure"

It's a shame willfully ignorant conservatives never take a look at the real world around them, because the evidence is so obvious that you don't need to be an economist to see it. Thanks President Bush for serving as such an effective illustration.

GOOD NIGHT EVERYBODY.... THE STAFFERS HAVE LEFT THE BUILDING!

The comment was made about price controls - let's stick to the topic liberals

Oh that's right, you can't stay on topic when you're utterly worng and can only resort to distortion, changing the subject, or insults.

Typical.

The video was produced by the Insurance Industry.

It would be stupid for Stander to have aided the Democrats during the legislative session, while Atwater controls their legislative package. It might have made more sense if it had have taken place after sine die.

Got to reap what you sow Atwater. Stop your whinning. Real leaders don't whine.

Looks like the democrat party staffer was out drinking with Skip last night

Pass the bottle Skippy!!

Just go out and see the R's that are crocked at Clydes on a regular basis. so don't go there.

Someone needs to go after this fake. He has so many votes that go against his district that if Campbell were to use just a few of them, Atwater would really be burnt toast. I think the fake is going down. I sure hope so. Many R's want the fake to go down too. He will only be a puppet President and he knows it and has no problem with it. Can you belive that? He doesn't care. I really think he loses.
