Tue, 20 Apr 2010 16:21:26 +0000 http://www.postonpolitics.com/?p=16745#comment-40767 Atwater claimed in last weekend's speech that “we’re not taking any more of your hard earned money” while bragging that California and New York are bankrupt and Florida has the highest bond rating. Yet, he fails to explain how he managed to balance Florida’s budget last year and this year with FEDERAL subsidies which come from whom? The taxpayers, so in the end yes he is taking our “hard earned money” and using it to plug his budget’s holes so he doesn’t have to raise money from state taxes and account for that decision at election time. Meanwhile, he hopes to double his bets by scoring points and name recognition criticizing the federal Congress that rescued him and his state’s budget. Pathetic. Notice also that he didn't wax about balancing the federal budget when Bush spent money like it grew on trees and erased years of budget surpluses prior to his 8 years in office.

Senator Jeff is only "out for Senator Jeff." Just another pandering politician in the Charlie Christ mold. "Promise them anything, but remember your contributors." The founder of Riverside was recently sanctioned by the Department of Insurance for some sketchy financial dealings with the insurance company he has/had an interest in. Not that that has anything to do with anything, but Senator Jeff received almost $200,000 for developing buisiness - just curious to know what sort of business development Senator Jeff did and just how successfull he was in bringing business to Riverside. “Straight Facts” is 100% on the money.

I am not sure it is just the Democrats that will use this to stop Atwater. His claim to fame is he has soooo much banking and financial experience. Now, when he gets caught, he claims he was only a teller? Actually, I would trust a teller more that "My Widdle Baby". Very interesting comments.
