I'm voting for wylie, the libertarian candidate
All the negative add you see against Scott, saying hire he plead the fifth and his involvement in Medicare fraud that's just scratching the surface it would be an hour long segment to cover it in depth. I get that you better align yourself with the libertarian candidate which btw the most puzzling thing I find in my age bracket (gen x) everybody I know is talking up wylie and at the end of the race I bet he doesn't break 5%, tell me how that's not throwing your vote away.

I'll give you a hint, you won't understand it now, in your age bracket, but maybe when you are in your 40s or 50s:

"the monster has two heads but the body is one".



Another trustworthy saying: "look at the results".

On that basis, it is by far safe to say that the previous president was one of the biggest "liberals" in recent memory and the current president has been a pretty reliable conservative.


And that's why some 2%-5% of the electorate votes third party or candidate, we don't care what they say, we look at the results.


Mr Rubio was elected with less than 50% of the vote, and we find that useful.

Mr Scott was elected with less than 50% of the vote, and we find that useful.

The current federal government in Washington, between Senate and House, is currently split almost right down the middle, and we find that very, very useful.


Hardly throwing the vote away.


Take the next 20-30 years to think about it. In the meantime, read the Constitution.

Crist was terrible the first time, people often like to complain about Scott but he was put into a tough decision and had to make the necessary cuts and moves to keep the state above water.

So, refusing federal monies to pay for Obamacare and instead forcing the people of Florida to pay for it was making a "necessary cut" to keep us above water? Sorry, I don't buy it.

False. He refused money for MEDICAID expansion because the government was ONLY going to fund it fully the first 3 years. Same reason many other governors refused it as well. They didn't want to 1) worsen their own states' budgets while 2) adding even more debt to the federal government's tab.

I'll sure be glad when Christ gets into office. Then all the people who are complaining about what he may do can switch over to complaining about what he has done. Give it a break people, he's only one person, the real issue is those wing nuts in Tallahassee.
