Isn;t this the same McCollum who wasted 3 years of President Clintons second term with his moral outrage that Mr. Clinton lied about a private matter between hom and a woman. Why doesnt Mr McCollum also tell Florida voters that he also is opposed to Medicare and Social Security and any other SOCIAL programs that the Horrible Democrats have implemented….

I lived in Kentucky from 1978 to 1980 went I was going to school and my family owned property there for years, so I know more about the Commonweatlh than most people. Ky enacted Hillary Care even after the Clinton government health care takeover was voted down, and it darn near bankrupted them. Insurance companies fled the state and health care deteriorated until it was finally done away with, but the economic damage was great and lasting. Look to Ky to see our future. Don’t buy one word of this poltical hack AG from Ky. Just look at their history!

Please help Republicans and Tea Party stop socialism. Help Republicans abolish social security, medicare, public libraries, public schools and all things that are owned in common by the public. Make sure McCullum sues to stop government mandated auto insurance. Who cares is some uninsured drunk destroys your car.

What a lot of people seem to be missing is that States may have the power to implement these things but under the U.S. Constitution the federal government does not. It’s not a question of getting rid of all social programs, but instead a question of which government entity tries to do it. Last time I checked, the federal government has nothing to do with public libraries, schools, etc. Study the law people, and stop being lemmings.

Walt you are the one that need to study the law! What in the hell do you think that the civil war was fought over? I guess that you approved of the Supreme Court deciding who won the Presidential Election in FL in 2000, right? Or Congress telling our FL courts to re insert the feeding tube into Terri Schivo? I think you need a crash course in the the “Supremacy Clause” and Federal Preemption. Just because Sarah Palin and Michele Bachmann (two idiots in the same pod) say it… doesn’t make it true.
