Central Florida and Florida Break Away from Progressives

Here in Central Florida we have seen the fruits of our political labor come to fruition through a lot of “ground work.” All politicians know what the meaning of that is and they know the routine. Walk the district, make the calls, put up the signs, and attend every political function for a year or two depending on the race. Quite frankly it’s exhausting but has been shown to be the recipe for success generation after generation. Money also plays a part but if the message doesn’t resonate all the money in the world will not help a candidate such as Alan “$5.1 million” Grayson found out. You could argue that the side that is fired up the most will have the best ground game and that is simply independent of the overriding dependence on the issues of the day. Probably true but a good ground game can and does make a difference.

In Central Florida our ground game got serious back on April 15, 2009 when thousands showed up at Lake Eola for our first Tea Party. We had hundreds of political organization meetings for the Fair Tax, Tea Party, Orange County Republican Executive Committee, Libertarian, interrupted meetings, espionage meetings and it isn’t over yet. We had hundreds of rallies with every Republican, Libertarian; No Party Affiliation and an occasional Democrat (Thanks Leo Cruz).
What I am trying to convey to the rest of the country is we the people of Central Florida did not get rid of our progressives by sitting on our ass watching Glen Beck. We went out there and sweated like pigs in the intolerable Florida 95 degree and 90% humidity during the dog days of summer. Those of us that could make $10.00, $25.00, $50.00 donations to our favorite candidates did so. We made those dreaded stupid telephone calls and we attended the rallies big and small. Most of the Republican primary losers remained active in the campaigns of the winners or related projects such as the Fair Tax. In short we formed a formidable team and we made a difference.
Now before people in other parts of the country criticize us as being a red neck state let me say we are very diverse especially in Orlando which is an international city if there ever was one. We are not Paris but we attract 52 million tourists annually. 16.1% of the population is black and 21.5% Hispanic. We are like most other states with a progressive infestation of one of our political parties.

Dan Webster put a ass whipping on progressive Alan Grayson 56% to 38%.

What did we achieve for all our hard work? Congressman Alan “Die Quickly” Grayson gone. Progressive Congresswoman Suzzane Kosmas who refused to meet with her constituents unless they were democrats or in a controlled setting is gone. Our flip flop governor and senate candidate Charlie Crist is gone. I guess Charlie can come out of the closet now. The Republicans dominated the state races so much that they now control the governor’s mansion and have veto proof majorities in the house and senate chamber. Every office at the state level is in Republican hands. Expectations will be high.
Without Democrats Florida can now write voter laws that weed out illegal aliens, dead people, mentally incompetent and felons from voter rolls.
Without Democrats Florida can write voucher legislation that will allow impoverished kids to escape the educational institutions that have failed them and condemned them to poverty for decades.
Without Democrats Florida can pass tort reform saving the people millions in health care cost.
Without Democrats Florida can destroy teacher unions or any union for that matter as they see fit.
Without Democrats Florida can lower taxes and regulation to help our businesses.
Without Democrats Florida can fight Obamacare and illegal immigration as they see fit. Let the Feds fight it out with Republican Pam Bondi if they want to.
Expectations will be high for the new governor and legislature. They have no excuse not to perform. We the people worked and donated our time so those we elected can and will serve we the people and not special interest. We have this rare opportunity to do good things for our state. Don’t blow it.
