Must-read: Kendrick Meek pulls no punches in op-ed response to criticism from Orlando Sentinel’s Mike Thomas

in Statewide by

If Kendrick Meek would show as much passion as in on display on the op-ed running in tomorrow’s Orlando Sentinel, there’d be no Jeff Greene and there’d probably be no Charlie Crist in the race: Mike Thomas is no fan of Democrats. His strong biases are often on display. Sunday’s column (“Meek shall not inherit U.S. Senate seat”) was no different. Blocks from where my mother lives sits the abandoned Poinciana Park located in the Liberty City section of Miami. Poinciana Park…

Jeb Bush and Co. drag out Toni Jennings to defend SB 6

in Statewide by

Jeb Bush’s Orwellian Foundation for Florida’s Future dragged out Toni Jennings to write an op-ed in defense of SB 6: I was president of Florida’s Senate when the A+ Plan for Education was enacted in 1999. Opponents of the bill said it would ruin public schools. In fact, the reforms – school grades, school choice, cash bonuses for success – is largely credited by researchers from around the country with the remarkable turnaround in Florida’s schools. In 1998, nearly half…

Jeb Bush pens op-ed for Atlanta Journal Constitution defending philosophy on education

in Uncategorized by

I wonder why none of the Florida’s papers reprint Jeb’s op-ed, which originally appeared in the Atlanta Journal Constitution, defending his philosophy on education reform.  An excerpt: Right now, the No. 1 issue facing America’s governors is the economy. In the short term, the focus, rightly, is on creating jobs and spurring growth to get our economy back on track. But nothing matters more to our long-term economic health and stability than the quality of education in classrooms today. The challenges are clear. The high-wage jobs…

Pam Bondi pens op-ed: Health Care legislation is unconstitutional

in Statewide by

This week, President Barack Obama signed into law his health care reform bill, which is the largest, most expensive, and most divisive entitlement program produced in our nation in decades. Close to a thousand pages of this legislation are filled with rules, regulations and requirements that give government authority to put many of the freedoms we all enjoy in a stranglehold. Until now, there have been very few times in the history of our nation that a single vote in…

Congressman Kendrick Meek and candidate for the U.S. Senate has a pretty forceful op-ed in today’s Sun-Sentinel: “We all know of the serious challenges Israel faces at the United Nations.

Daily Kos founder trashes Kendrick Meek

in Statewide by

Listen, I have been very critical of some aspects of Kendrick Meek’s campaign, but even I am shocked by how badly Daily Kos founder Markos Moulitsas trashes Meek in a an op-ed Joy Ann Reid, saying in an e-mail to her: Meek “has little netroots support and is unlikely to get any anytime soon. Not only is he not seen as a credible, electable candidate, he’s run the kind of safe, boring, uninspiring and nonpopulist campaign that is guaranteed to…
