Fist Dap I Tell U What via Jobsanger

Everybody, except radio boy and company,  knew the Condi as VP was a media enabled weapon of mass distraction from Wall Street Willie,(aka Willard "Mitt" Romney's) refusal to release 12 years of tax returns and the discrepancy between what his said, and what he filed with the SEC in relation to his tenure as CEO of Bain Capital. What Alabama Governor, Robert Bentley (r. foot in mouth) said all the damn way!  If you have things to hide maybe you are doing  you're doing things wrong.

9 questions I wish the mainstream media would ask the TeaPublicans

1.  Why do you lie and distort the truth so much?

2.  Why do you continue to perpetrate the myth that lower taxes on the wealthy will create jobs? 

3.  Why do you continue to label President Obama's policies and failed and socialist?

4.  Why in your zeal to cut the deficit do you want to cut spending on the poor?

5.  Why are you so ridiculously intolerant and narrow minded?

6. When will you abandon your idolatry of Ronald Reagan?

7.  Why do you continuously hold meaningless votes and hearings?

8.  Why do you hate America's poor, homeless and workers so much?

9.  WHERE THE HELL ARE ALL THOSE JOBS YOU PROMISED?

This is how the republicans plan to siphon off 10% of the black/Hispanic vote in Florida so Wall Street Willie can "win" swing state Florida.....Governor Scott and his flunky, Lt. Governor Jennifer Caroll are going to use a Federal Data Base to disenfranchise them.  

Must See TeeVee Sunday NBC's Dateline with Lester Holt  re: Booker's Place a Mississippi reckoning.

You won't see it on TeeVee, but  prisoners in Georgia enter into the 5th week of a hunger strike, demanding medical care, due process and human rights.

Peace and Blessings, until next Sunday.

No good deed goes unpunished in Sanford, FL. Snark   Sanford Officials Who Voted In Support of  the Police Chief face a recall.

The Task force appointed by Florida Governor Rick Scott led by his Lt. Governor who, uh, who, uh, is an African American is coming under fire.

Acting Sanford Police Chief Scott will be conducting an internal investigation to see who leaked information to the media.  RedEye Roll

Trayvon Martin case turned over to the Southern Belles

Meet Duval County State Attorney Angela Cory, Florida Governor Rick Scott's pick for a new prosecutor in the Trayvon Martin case, after Seminole County State Attorney Norman Wolfinger volunteered to recuse himself, after temporarily resigned Sandford Police Chief Bill Lee handed the case over to him, after the City manager Norman Bonaparte, called for an independent investigation of the Sanford Police Department.  Whew

Meet Florida Lt. Governor Jennifer  Carroll, picked by Governor Rick Scott to lead a special task force in response to the death of Trayvon Martin.

Funny how republican men don't trust women with a choice but they trust them to be special prosecutors and lead special task forces.  Snark

Let's see if these women are Steele Magnolias, or Southern Belles.
