Max Linn jumps on Bill Young controversy

A robo call that hit today in U.S. Rep. CW Bill Young's district: "Hey did you read this week’s newspaper article about your congressman, Bill Young steering federal funds to companies where his sons are employed? $73 million! That’s just not right. That’s why I’d encourage you to write a letter to the editor expressing your outrage. And know there is another choice this year, Democrat Max Linn."

Comments

When did this become a controversy? Anyone who has heard of Max Linn will laugh about this...everyone knows how crazy he is. It will be fun to watch him get beat by Samm Simpson though....

Max Linn is a jerk, and everyone knows that

So Max Linn is a Democrat now? Didn't he run in another party or as an independent in the last race for Governor?

I think it is an outrage that Max Linn is phoning peoples homes with this garbage , this is the outrage. Congressman Young has done more for this county than anyone of you!Thank You Congressman Young for all you do !

Max Lin is a looney tune!!

It's just not easy being a Republican these days, even for Bill Young.

Max Linn is a friggin' joke. He has run as everything but a human being. Give it up, Max, Samm is going to be your rich little butt in the primaries. how embarrassing is that going to be?

Come on guys, I like Bill Young and all but for anyone to brush this story off as irrelevant is naive and frankly pretty dumb. This is an ethical dilemma he must address.

Where is the ethical dilemma? Both of these companies got money before and after they hired these two. They were both qualified for the jobs they hold before they were hired. It has been said before, but I will say it again, can these guys not work for anyone that gets federal help? That would be ridiculous.....to think this is unethical is truly ridiculous.

Ok you Young boys, get to bed... you've got to work tomorrow... your pops saw to that with our taxes.

Sorry to disappoint...my last name isn't Young. It starts with an "S"...hence, AJS. But your tax dollars do contribute to my paycheck...military paycheck.

Max has the robocall strategy nailed (sort of), but does he have any real support in the primary besides what he can buy? I'm looking forward to seeing Ms. Simpson run against Mr. Young in the general election. She seems to have become a formidable candidate.

atleast samm is a descent person. max linn is a piece of trash, and look forward and hope greatly to have the opportunity to see him get beat by samm simpson in the primary! go land your plane somewhere maxy, you as$

Boy, you silverspoons really get testy when the truth comes out. Good thing you've got your bi_ch (AJS)working nights for you.

Hey funny guy...I don't work for anyone. I would just hate for you pompous morons to be the only ones up this late. It's funny how these anonymous blogs bring out the tough guys....

Max is a nut job

Charlie Justice please run and spare us from Max.

Samm Simpson, i didnt realize he, i mean she, i mean well now i am confused. A transvestite for Congress are you serious?

Unfortunately, Samm is a Nancy Pelosi Democrat and stands no chance in this District whatsoever.

Why won't Democrats run some middle of the road folks who actually believe in things like:

1. securing the border and not giving away jobs and lowering wages to satisfy illegal aliens.

2. not increasing government spending and taxes

3. not killing every unborn child possible in order to satisfy a bunch of sicko fascist feminists

Rep Young will win another term in a landslide.

hey big mouth. identify yourself to the b$tch AJS. I am sure he would be happy to take your pathetic self to lunch.

Max Linn:
Your robo message is so canned it's ridiculous. And don't assume I and many others appreciate you taking time out of our busy lives to listen to your whining, whimpering propaganda. I heard your name but that Barbie wannabe and hung up. don't bother me again. Loser.

Young is not being naive about his sons. 3 of them graduated from college. One with a Masters Degree, one with a Bachelors degree and one with an associates degree. They all had many options as to what direction they would head in their lives. they are grown young men and have been given, by the United States of Ameica, there right to choose where they eat sleep live and work. Not any one elses. Everyone has a right to work anywhere they want and anywhere in this county would be some kind of conflict in the eyes of the times. They just want to be mean to Congressman Young and they know the love the man has for his children, so they are taking the cheapest shot they can and assaulting his children which goes beyond reason. And it goes beyond the teachings of the Bible. The last guy that ran the Times would never have allowed Bill Adair to stoop so low. Hopefully is doing it so at a later date he can fire him for doing such a malicious and shoddy piece of slop.

Maxy:
I just heard your running for Congress as a Democrat. I thought you were a republican when you were running for the state legislature, but you did withdraw from that race. Why don't you remind us why you did withdraw from that race. If I am not correct, it had something to do with sexual harrassment. Did you lose that suit?

Hey Max: I need a boob job. where did you buy your assistants at? I need to stay clear of that place.

You Young boys are late to work; you're fired!

What's that Bill?... another 25-million in taxes to me... never mind boys, you're re-hired.

... and bring your bi&th AJS with you for fun.

Like I said...anonymous guys are always tough....

Save it for your wet dream son… you don’t have the stones to fight a cold. As for posting anonymous, check you own asscronym, (AJS)…

… schmuck

The Democrats are now an officially protectionist party.

That much was made clear when Speaker Nancy Pelosi changed the rules of the House to avoid being forced to bring the Colombian Free Trade Agreement to a vote:


The Colombia trade pact was signed in 2006 and renegotiated last year to accommodate Democratic demands for tougher labor and environmental standards. Even after more than 250 consultations with Democrats, and further concessions, including promises to spend more on domestic unemployment insurance, the deal remained stalled in Congress.

Apparently the problem was that Democrats kept getting their way. So on Monday, President Bush submitted the bill to Congress over liberal protests, which, under a bargain between Congress and the White House for trade promotion authority, mandated an up-or-down vote within 90 days.

Today Ms. Pelosi will make an ex post facto change to House rules to avoid the required vote, withdrawing from the timetable and thus relegating the Colombia deal to a perhaps permanent limbo. Democrats say it would have failed anyway, but at least a vote during the next three months would have forced them to show the courage of their protectionist convictions. Instead, they chose to shelve the bill in an election year while paying off organized labor and other antitrade yahoos.

The gambit is especially humiliating for Ways and Means Chairman Charlie Rangel, a free-trader who has been trying to strike a deal with the Administration but keeps getting rolled by Ms. Pelosi.
Objections by organized labor revolve around the fact that there is no more murderous place in the world for union organizers than Colombia. The right wing Colombian death squads believe that anyone who is pro union is also pro FARC or pro-communist. The paramilitaries target these organizers and have killed 17 in the last few years.

While making a good point, labor refuses to acknowledge the fact that the situation has dramatically improved over the last 6 months with the Colombian military on the offensive against both FARC and the death squads. This has brought hope that the civil war can be brought to an end and Colombia granted a chance to become a close trading partner with the US.

The fact is, Democrats killed this agreement because they want to roll back free trade agreements across the board. Quite simply, this is madness. For every job they "save" (a dubious proposition), 3 jobs will be lost as a result of reduced exports and imports as nations bump up tarrifs and protectionism becomes the norm.

The Journal is right to take the Democrats to task for not having the guts to show their anti-free trade side to the voters. That's because upwards of 60% generally support free trade - as long as the playing field is level.

Trade may become something of a campaign issue this year with McCain coming out for free trade while the Democrats become obstructionists. It should be interesting to see who the people support.

I got Linn's attack ad call last night. Didn't bother listening to the whole thing because I'd made up my mind not to vote for him soon as I recognized it as an attack ad. No class.

Try reading a few posts above schmuck. I posted my name at the end....again, anonymous guys on a blog always have "stones"....

You’re right, I’m sorry…

My name is C---------s B---------r…. want to buy a vowel or phone a friend?

… putz

I got Maxx Headroom's stupid call last night, probably because my wife is a Dem. What a weak attempt at mud slinging by a candidate with no chance. Even my wife is voting for Young (agan).

You're wife could not be a Dem. Dems have more intelect, and would not marry a partisan minion like yourself.

I think your wife is hot!

Well, as I posted above mine is pretty simple...no need to buy a vowel or phone a friend, as I am sure there is no phone in your mom's basement and you have no friends to call....

You shouldn't talk about our mother/my wife that way son/brother... ewwwwwww

Besides, our basement is where we keep the gimp in the box... you should know that, he's sporting your ball gag.

I am a democrat and my wife is a republican. What a stupid childish remark. This paper has turned everything into a lower form of a rag.

conflict... much?

I'm definatly not a Maxx Lin fan! But keep in mind what this is about. I have a son the same age with a GED, guess what job he qualifies for? Walmart, or the military. These children were givin these jobs, regaurdless of what degrees his other children have. On the subject of Samm Simpson, being a Nancy Pelosi dem....you really don't know very much, far from that! Maxx is no more a democrat, than Young is doing great things for this county. Check his earmarks....many are not even in this county, and only 1 actually help people in any way. All are for military benifits. I would like to have a congressperson who would actually be doing work for the people in this district, that would benifit all of us, and most of all someone who is keeping a watchful eye on the executive branch, instead of letting them, lie and steal from the American people.

Thanks for joining us Samm, I mean 10:37.....

My my, there are a lot of very passionate people posting here as well, from both perspectives. Bill Young is indeed an icon, and he should be honored for his service.

That said; it is time for him to let go, and go with grace. We simply cannot sustain a modern and functional government with 30-year old ideologies. Neither does our current economy allow for pork spending of any kind. If these organizations are truly necessary for the betterment of our military, then fund them accordingly, and not by way of earmarks (pork).

I don’t give a damn where his kids work, but to assert that there is no connection is purely naive. That’s all I have to say about that.

Congressman Young, as a District constituent, I thank you for your service and appreciate your efforts on our behalf. But I respectfully ask that you move on, so that our nation can as well. As a Democrat, I have supported you and voted for you many times. Of late, primarily due to the lack of substantive opposition. But I fear that too has run its course. Sometimes change must occur for the good of the whole, even if it comes at the price of a public servant with an honorable record. Please consider my thoughts, and again, thank you for your service.

May God bless you and yours.


You know 10:37, the problem with your post (aka rant)is that it is not backed up by a little thing called facts. I have looked at Con. Young's earmarks and they all seem to go to companies in the district that employ people and provide a tax base for you democrats to exploit. I'm gonna need to see some facts on your assertion....

Samm isn't a Pelosi Democrat. She is a Ron Paul Republican.

10:42
I am not Samm, just someone who doesn't want to play into this Republican/ Democrat, he said she said bickering. I don't think Samm has a son with a GED? I am trying to wade through all the s---, to make an informed decision, Although I have to admit, so far based on this issue, Samm has my vote.

You know AJS, the problem with your post (aka spin)is that it is not backed up by a little thing called reality. I have looked at Con. Young's earmarks and they all seem to go to companies in the district that give heavily to his campaign and hire his kids.

I'm gonna need to see some earmarks for homeless veterans in order to vote his way.

1. Ar these jobs in the public or private sector?

There is a big difference between nepotism in this scenario. Government bids work out to private vendors all the time. That does not give them the right to influence that vendor's internal hiring/firing or other personnel and HR decisions, unless specifically spelled out in contract.

What I am saying is, that these companies have the right to hire (and fire) whomever they please, independent of federal, state or local government paying them for services.

This is a non-story.

"Check his earmarks....many are not even in this county, and only 1 actually help people in any way."

Show me the ones that are not in the district...I'll be waiting....

11:07, should he not be supporting companies in the district? I guess we would rather corporations send those jobs elsewhere.....

11:04 you have to be kidding. SAMM is a dyed in the wool Socialist Democrat.

Does Samm support eliminating the IRS/Income Tax?

Is Samm Pro-Life?

Does Samm advocate abolishing the Federal Reserve? (so they cannot bail out gambling houses like Bear Stearns and send you the bill via inflation from printing so much money)

Is Samm advocating abolishing the Dept of Education?

Does Samm want to privatize Social Security so that our young people do not only have to bail out the current takers of their money but also enjoy the opportunity to save something for themselves without politicians being able to steal it from them like Democrats have done since the days of LBJ?

Where does SAMM stand on taxpayer funded health care?

Would SAMM cut off taxpayer funded social benefits for Illegal Aliens and end birthright citizenship?

etc. and so on...

Well 11:05, the problem with your "wading" is that you apparently are getting the wrong information, as your post at 10:37 shows.

Of course it's a story, Omega... get a grip. It's not about "the jobs"... it's about the earmarks AND the jobs.

And bite me AJS, these pinheads have been shipping our jobs overseas for years. You may live in the “screw them, I’ve got mine” world… but some of we Americans see the need for fiscal restraint and a balanced economy that serves the greater good of our nation.

Bill Young's a good man, but all of you surrogates need to lay off the halo crap... it’s obnoxiously obvious.

11:05:
You don't think has a son with a GED, therefore you are going to vote for her. How about her grandson, does he have a GED. She wouldn't know, she threw him away like garbage. Yeah, she has my vote!

Sorry Roger, but I'm not talking about jobs being sent overseas. They would be sent to other districts in Florida or other states all together. And trust me, no one wishes we had more fiscal discipline in this country than me. We should have a balanced budget amendment and we should curb wasteful bureaucratic spending.

The halo comment is silly, Young is human just like me. He has voted for things that I disagree with him on, but I believe this is a non-story. Hence, I am here defending....

hey roger - you notice the time. leave his sons out of it. they are at work and if you are blogging from work you should be fired for wasting the companies time and money.

For your information, I got a GED because my mother was sick and I needed to take care of her. Now I am a licensed nurse and take care of critically ill children. Please don't put people down that have gotten a GED. Sometimes there are reasons for that. It also doesn't mean you have a low IQ because you got a GED. What is wrong with you, what is America coming to. A GED is equivalent to a high school diploma and allows you to further your education, as I did. The GED comments are senseless and cruel, but it appears the St. Pete Times supports and encourages this kind of humiliation and hatred.

Roger,

Jobs going overseas is an inevitable outcome of a global economy.

Instead of fixating on the loss of them, perhaps our elected officials would be better to equip their constituents with opportunities to learn new skills, marketable for new jobs.

Did the union autoworker who lost their $60/hour job consider going back to a community college and learning some new skills?

Didn't Max get a GED instead of graduating from high school?

I recall he was expelled from the Pinellas County Public Schools.

Baloney, Omega…

A job going overseas is NOT an inevitable outcome of a global economy; it is the inevitable outcome of greed and corporate profit… not to mention completely counterproductive to our nation’s economic stability.

It is not our elected officials who are “fixated” on the loss of them; it is those Americans who are losing their livelihood because of it who are fixated on it. The politicians could give a sh*t.

“… better to equip their constituents with opportunities to learn new skills, marketable for new jobs...” Care to name a few of those “New Jobs”?

“Did the union autoworker who lost their $60/hour job consider going back to a community college and learning some new skills?”

For what; one of those $10-an-hour “New Jobs” that are going to illegal immigrants for $7-an-hour.

Save the spin for your young republican’s club meeting.

So, 1:19, companies should hire American labor to do everything? Gee, I wonder what that will do to the prices of goods on our market?

Did anyone ever think that the reason many of the jobs got exported in the first place was because American labor not only drove up the prices on goods with their bloated wages - but also made crap goods that were poor sellers in the marketplace?

Competition is the best thing to ever happen for the American consumer. Where would we be today were Toyota , Honda and others not allowed to sell better cars at better prices to American consumers?

Free trade creates even more opportunities for competive goods and services to enter our marketplace. When we get more choices, we pay less. Stifiling that ability hurts us all in the long run. It actually does more harm to "protect" American jobs because in the long run it will cost us more jobs.

And that $10 an hour job for the laid off auto worker is better than $0 an hour for no job at all.

Lay off the dope and corporate Kool Aid, 2:43.

If you hate American workers and products so much, why don’t do get the f_ck out of our country.

The “Free market” was awesome in it’s time… but the consumer no longer drives the market, demand no longer drives supply. Greed drives the market now, and has for some time now.

Example:

Throngs of people did not storm the gates of Microsoft and demand Vista; it was forced onto the market and now will force business (small and large) all over our country to spend billions to convert in order to operate… good for one, bad for the many. The market driving the consumer.

Wheat prices have tripled, and are causing havoc within the restaurant business, particularly small businesses… and why? No, not because the demand went up; but because the supply has severely dropped… and why? Because of greed. Once our government began their latest corporate welfare program known as subsidies for corn growers to jump on the knee-jerk bandwagon called ethanol… wheat farmers cleared their fields and started growing corn in order to capitalize on the government corporate welfare program. Good for a few, bad for the many. Supply depravation driving demand costs.

We have neglected our country, we have neglected our people, we have neglected our infrastructure, and we have neglected our economy… all in the interest of greed and power.

We are now paying the price, and we had better get with the program of our own sustainable existence and sovereignty… or you can soon say goodbye to America.

I got the call yesterday! I don't care if this guy was the second coming of Jesus. If he's a Democrat - he doesn't get my vote. If he's a republican, he doesn't get my vote. When are you all going to realize that both party's are the problem? Dems, Repubs, they're all the same! Vote Libertarian!

1:19. Please remember that the jobs lost were not the govt's jobs. They were the employers jobs. The problem is the govt made it too difficult for businesses in this country, so the employers exported the jobs to other countries. But I agree with you on the concept of free trade. It works great if govt stays out of it.

What's the problem, I'm going to vote to allow the Libertarians and the Homertesticles to get married!

Due respects, John, but the jobs lost were neither the governments or the employers jobs... they are our country's jobs and the very core of our economy.

And the government has made it very easy for businesses to operate with low-wage, illegal immigrant slave labor... again, much to the demise of our economy.

And I would submit that government would work great as well, so long as corporations stay out of it.

3:21 said

"Vista...was forced onto the market and now will force business (small and large) all over our country to spend billions to convert in order to operate"
BUY AN APPLE! THAT'S WHY THEY COMPETE!

"Wheat prices have gone up due to government subsidies."
KEY WORD - GOVERNMENT SUBSIDIES. SUBSIDIES DO NOT EXIST IN A FREE MARKET!

Two points, moron at 4:54...

1. Apple had to sue in order to compete. And has a very small share of the market at that. That's your "free market".

2. Your second point is drivel, pointless, incomplete, non-relevant to my comment, and lacks substance. Much like you ill-informed rhetoric.

... dink

The story is about Youngs kids getting jobs, that they are no more quaified for than any other 20-24 yr. old in this county with a GED. It just doesn't happen to anyone elses kids. Really it doesn't. Money passed hands, and these kids got great jobs that are unheard of in this day. Legally he may have done nothing wrong, but isn't funny how all these people with money and power, never have to start at the bottom, like the girl above who got her GED, then went on to become a nurse. Her parents didn't get her that job, she worked hard to get there. A GED is not a bad thing, but you can't get a job in a high clearance security level on just a GED. Only if you come from a family of power. He could have gone into the military, which most boys his age with a GED are forced to do, but he didn't feel that type of pressure, he had a job waiting for him. Young sees no problem with the way others have to struggle to get what they need...just doesn't want his kids to. Point is, if you were raise to know the difference between right and wrong, legally it may not be wrong, but it's just plain wrong! I wonder if any of these companies looked at the unemployment agencies to see if there was someone just as qualified, that had a family to support and a mortgage to pay. Shame, shame!

Samm a Pelosi dem? Samm a Ron Paul republican? Her blogs do not speak of following Pelosi. I thought Max Linn flew the Ron Paul leader all over the state? Makes sense as Max is the republican. Ms. Simpson said she will only make one promise to the people. To stay 100 feet away from lobbyists!

I've spent a lifetime voting for Bill Young. I don't like what I read and I don't think anyone should be running for their 20th term. It's time for him to step down. This is the year of the democrat. A REAL democrat. And a woman. Bye Bill and thanks for any good you have brought to us.

I got the robo call too! Only I did not know who it was from!!

It cut off in the middle of a woman speaking about Bill Young, so I never could hear what the call was for! Thanks to the Buzz, I now know it was a robo call for Max Linn. I'm really glad it did not finish, I would have lost my dinner!

5:32, you as$, read the article, one has a college degree, and yes that does qualify him for the job he has. put your foot back in your fat mouth, liberal.

to 5:32:
a friend of mine is president of an intelligence agency that works with special ops, DIA and CIA. He has been following the articles and sent me this. Do you know money changed hands? Where do you get off making an accusation like that unless you know it to be fact. You are a liar, and you know it.
"This whole thing about the GED is stupid. We give high level clearances to people who have never finished high school nor do they have a GED. I have worked with many of them. A diploma is not a requirement for a security clearance, the ability to trust the person is. People need to get a clue-- you should make a big deal out of this if a diploma was a requirement but it isn't. I have been involved in highly secretive operations since I was 18 years old. There are many privates in the military with a GED that also have a clearance.Should they get fired too?"

For all of you with your own personal agenda, unless you know the facts, save your jealousies and animosities for someone deserving. Not a kid that has worked hard to get where he is.
You make me sick.

5:32:
You just accused a federal official of corruption. I hope the FBI hacks in and tracks you down. You are one sick little puppy to make statement like that and not have any evidence to back it up. And if you think the FBI or these defense agencies don't have the ability or capabilities to do that, you are living in the 19th century. You are just foreplay for them.

5:32:
Why should someone who went to technical schools and was trained to do a specific job not be deserving? Because you said so? Have you looked at Youngs sons credentials? Did you apply for the same job he applied for? The FBI investigates the people that apply for security clearances. Their investigations take up to 2 years. You know so much don't you? You don't have a clue what it takes to get a clearance and you have no clue what courses and classes are required to do so. You are speaking with no knowledge whatsoever against a young man who passed two years of scrutiny to get this clearance. I am assuming you are an adult and should be disgusted and embarrassed that you would jump to the conclusion you did and attempt to humiliate and embarrass this young man, just BECAUSE. I got denied a security clearance after waiting 2 years because I had a family member with a big mouth, like yourself. And to suggest the FBI was paid off is probably a stupid insinuation on your part.
As for the sons not being qualified for the jobs they were hired at, where you the employment agent? Do you know for a fact that they were not qualified, or are you just blowing hot air? The 23 year old has a bachelors degree in political science and communications, the oldest has a masters degree working on a doctorate and the youngest went to Technical Schools for his trade and also attended St. Pete College. Now, these are facts, your information is fiction. This can all be verified, then you can apologize to the readers and the Young sons because you are a pathetic liar and have blogged for personal gain. You should be ashamed.

5:32:
I wonder if any of these companies looked at the unemployment agencies to see if there was someone just as qualified, that had a family to support and a mortgage to pay. Shame, shame!
This Young man who is the center of these hate attacks and is qualified for the job he serves does have a wife and kids and a mortgage to pay. You have no knowledge or credibility.

My brother joined the Navy when he was 18 years old. He left school early and got his GED so he could do so. He was granted a high level security clearance to work on nuclear submarines when he joined. So tell me again how 18 year olds with GED's aren't granted high level clearances? Oh, and before you say it, intel and defense agencies grant clearances in the same fashion as military branches. Therefore, an 18 year old with a GED could get one just as easily from them. As a matter of fact, it would be easier to give one to them because there is less to investigate.

to 5:32:
Bill Young started at the age of 26 and started from the bottom with no college education and no money. You are speaking as if you are informed. I beg to differ with you. No silver spoons in the Young family, to your dismay.

Earmark are money!Funding a campaign is money and lots of it too. Money was exchanged.Don't threaten me with the FBI! I know that is part of the agenda. Scare tactics, all the time. Maybe I'll call the FBI and tell them my government is ripping me off! I never signed anything saying I would pay $100.00 a month for this war, and that my congressman could mark our tax dollars, to fund weapons manufactures instead of schools.

5:32 Are you shaking in your boots now? Don't worry, the Democrats still support free speech. The fascists will be gone from the White House come January, and our little taste of totalitarianism will be over, thank God.

wow look at all the "assets" coming to billy's rescue. why would the feds hack in here to see who the children are.

it's like all the spooks hit the board for billy!

so max is hammering bill?

dont worry bill, Samms gonna take him out with one punch!

the woman rocks and has already picked up national endorsements

the feds know who the children are, now they know who you are.

It really doesn't matter what Max says. He will never make it past the primary.

11:01- The national progressive league, or whatever its called, is hardly a "national endorsement."

12:03- Does it really matter what either Samm or Max says? Neither one gets 40% against Young. Too bad potential candidates like Charlie Justice, Ken Welch or Bill Heller took a pass, though I am not sure any of them could have beaten Young.

Sane Democrat (oxymoron? take the joke please),

Justice, Welch, and Heller would all lose. If they thought they could win, they would run. That is the egotistical nature of politics in this day and age. Yet, another reason to keep Young, a man of character from a foregone era. Samm will not break 36% and the people you have named would not break 40%.

12:36 you seem to know alot about the election results already. any connection to diebold, or any of the other high tech,rigged voting machines?

Max is not credible, he doesn't have a clue!

Yeah 3:44, and I also know where they keep the aliens at Roswell.....conspiracy theorists unite.

No conspiracy... just corruption!

The good ol's fashioned GOP way!

11:47: Wake up and smell the corruption! Watch Hillary and Obama tear each other apart over lies and corruption. I don't know what channel you are watching, obviously not watching any because it is the dems who are accusing and proving corruption.
YOu really sound stupid. The corruption is coming out of the democratic party all over this country. If you have something intelligent to say, then do, others shut up and go back to bed.

Max Linn campaigning on a blog. How hysterical is that! Even Samm won't scratch the bottom of that barrel.

12:36- If you read my comments, you will see that we agree.

The Young boy campaigning for pops on a blog... I though daddums bought them a real job with our taxes!

Alan Suskey is a moron. This matters.

3;36: Maybe, just maybe the Young boys are qualified for their jobs. Maybe, just maybe, and probably, you are an ignorant a**hole and don't know the difference between right and wrong. Those boys have a right to work, and thank God they do, and you sure don't have the right to continue to criticize them for not being on federal assistance because you don't like their dad. Anywhere in Pinellas County that they would work has most likely been funded one time or other by Mr. Young. Leave the kids alone, Susan, you are still a pig.

4:09:
NO Alan Suskey is a Sgt. in the United States Army who serves proudly and has done two back to back tours in Iraq, like you suggest others should because you don't have guts or backbone to do the dirty work. He is an American Hero. You should identify yourself, big mouth, and call this great hero a moron to his face. Now that would be some footage for CNN!

I am sure it does matter to you 4:09. You guys over at the FDP need exaggerated stories like this one so you can raise some coin bashing Young. But to the average, intelligent constituent of District 10? It matters not...and I'll repeat my earlier statement, anonymous guys always have big b*lls.

Don't worry Sgt. Suskey. Just keep the big mouth at 4:09 free. He sleeps in peace at night because of you, he has freedom of speech because of you, obviously and he doesn't have to serve in an all voluntary military because of heroes like you, not spineless bastards like himself.
Thank you, Sgt.

3:36 - Listen to yourself. Have you no shame?

3:36 - No daddums didn't buy them a job. they went to college, got degrees, even the one that STARTED with a GED, applied for their perspective jobs. And Bingo, they are working. Are you jealous because you are stupid or unemployed? Did your daddy get you your job, or did your daddy not have a job either.OR better yet, did your daddy abuse you or ignore you? Do you have kids? Did you ever help your kids? probably not. IT's obviously you, Susan Smith of the Hillsborough County Executive Committee. You and your sick hatred have been fixated on Young for years. Other posters have suggested professional help for you. You really need it. Stay on your side of the bridge and you won't be such a frustrated, dried up pathetic woman. Susan, you shouldn't let political partisanship consume your whole being. It is not good for you. No one cares about your opinion or your fixations on Bill Young. No one cares that you throw barbs at him constantly. He doesn't care. His kids don't care. Susan, nobody cares. Get help. Anger management, lonely hearts club, AA anything is a start. I am serious. You are sick. People of all walks of life have different political views, but it doesn't make one person better or worse than the other because of their political views. God put all different types of people on this earth, Susan, and because they are affiliated with the party YOU despise, which is not normal or healthy, doesn't make them bad people. And picking on someones children out of rage and jealously doesn't make you much of an adult or person for that fact. You don't need to sign on anymore, Susan, your rantings are so evident, and SAD.

Susan: The Young boys have more class than to even come on this blog. They have more class than you will ever have. Your harassments will not bring them to your bottom of the barrel level. They have better things to do. They have families that love them and jobs to do. Why don't you get a real job and a real life. You are evil and that is scarey.

Dang.... how many jobs did CW buy for his kids and buddies with our taxpayers money?

All you minions should be working, not posting for your sugar daddy. Hell, we taxpayers bought your damn job, the least you could do is work it.

11:12: Come out of your drug induced coma. It's sunday, not many are working including you. I bet you don't even pay taxes. You are probably gearing up for the food stamp line tomorrow. Who's computer did you borrow, loser? Minions? Gene, is that You.?

Dang.... how many jobs did CW buy for his kids and buddies with our taxpayers money?

All you minions should have been at church on Sunday afternoon, pretending to care about homelss veterans on behalf of pops.

Hell, we taxpayers bought your damn job, the least you could do is pretend to care about the less fortunate.
