The election is 2-1/2 months away. Why has the media declared the election over?
In some 21st century nations campaigning only last 4-6 weeks - weeks, not months or years. So what has led to our seeming inability to think and reason in real-time? Have we become so downtrodden that we can no longer imagine something better?
As a business owner, I would say that our "company's" morale is in the toilet. While our "company" hastens its decline, those in charge blame and purge those at the bottom.
If Scott is such a great business man and "job creator" why does our "company" have such anger, distrust, and hatred? It seems like he and the conservative talking heads prefer to foster our declining morale? Could it be they are distracting their followers so as to ignore the man pulling the levers behind the curtain?

Don't Simply Change Brands of Toilet Paper
Florida
voters, while in the kitchen during a TV commercial break, do you find
yourself suffering from uncontrollable dry-heaves when you hear the word
"Scott" blaring from the television? And then discover that it's not a
political ad, but a commercial for a brand of toilet paper? (Wait, do
they have same purpose? I know,... cheap shot.)
Are you going to perpetuate the decline of our state (and nation) with a vote for Crist because Florida's current brand of toilet paper is too abrasive?
Courageous people take chances. Take a chance. Have you forgotten (or never experienced) what it is like to vote for someone you want, not against someone you don't?
In November, vote for who you want.

Ted Yoho's National Security Views are from the 20th Centruy
Like
most of the technically challenged people ruining our nation, large
animal veterinarian and Florida GOP representative Ted Yoho believes the
biggest security threat facing our nation is our debt and protecting
our borders.
Yoho's technical expertise, like 95% of those who keep getting elected, dates back 50 years, when high-technology was a color television.
The biggest threat face America is not our border security or our national debt. It is not terrorists capturing a nuclear bomb, a chemical bomb, or crashing planes into buildings. While these issues cause local disruption and destruction, they are not national issues. A chemical or nuclear bomb detonated in NY would cause massive local death and destruction, but what physical effects will occur in Ohio, Colorado, or California?
The biggest security threat facing our nation is a Cyber Attack.
Relatively speaking, the attacks and hacks we have experienced are little more than an annoyance. If you think that your experience with identity theft, a computer virus or having to wait a couple hours to read your email was a major attack, it wasn't. It was nothing more than a pinprick. For prospective on my view, I consider 911 to be nothing more than a bloody nose, and look what happened to our country!
If we continue to elect people who live in a 20th century world, a massive and well organized cyber attack will have the same effect on our nation as the destruction caused by the isolated bombing of Pearl Harbor.
As an engineer, I love bombs, boats, planes and missiles. They are impressive for physical attacks and destruction, but well-designed and placed computer viruses will render these billion dollar machines useless.

Political Inbreeding
Today's politicians are the result of too much inbreeding.
For centuries we have known that the spawn created from repeated mating between siblings weakens the species.
When viewing the people ruining our nation from a scientific perspective, it would appear that we are witnessing the effect of a 40 year experiment where the male politicians have repeatedly bred among themselves.
If We the People are to end this perverted experiment, we must elect someone outside the diseased gene pool.
In November's election, vote to end this failed experiment: Write the name: Keith Stegath

An Optimist, a Pessimist, and a Republican are Lost in the Desert
Suddenly, the optimist's eyes widen as he looks 20 yards ahead. Dust fly's as he scrambles to the object. Falling face first, he cradles the divine object between his hands.
- The optimist stands and looks back at the pessimist and
republican. He beams as he holds the object above his head. "We're saved. We have a glass of water that is half-full."
- The pessimist doesn't bother crawling any further. With his face in the sand he croaks out, "We going to die. We won't make it to that bush with that half-empty glass of water."
- The republican leaves the pessimist behind, stumbles up to the optimist and stares at the glass with suspicion. The optimist gently places the glass of water in the hands of the republican. The republican carefully looks it over, examining nicks and chips.
"Bullshit" he says and dumps the water on the ground then smashes the glass on a rock.
- The jaws of both the optimist and the pessimist drop.
- The republican, looks at the two with contempt and disgust. "That was my glass and I can do with it whatever I want!"

Scott Lacks Insight
Scott Lacks Insight as He Tries to Fix Our Springs by Throwing Money at the Symptom
As a candidate, I find that Scott’s 10-year pledge of $500M for repairing our springs lacks insight; he is throwing money at the symptom, not the problem. If my house were flooding because of a massive hole in the roof, Scott would likely hire his friends to mop the floor and ignore the hole in the roof.
Like my flooding house, the degrading water quality of our springs is a symptom. We need to attack the reasons for their degradation. The reasons for our degrading springs are: 1) We are withdrawing too much water. 2) We are overloading the springs with toxins and nutrients because of overuse of pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers. 3) Climate change is causing large shifts in historical weather patterns. 4) We are paving and over-developing land that functioned as a natural and free filter.
The problem with Scott’s water and environmental plan is not limited to our springs. To address the agriculture destruction of the Everglades and to oversee its restoration, Scott appointed Mitchel A. Hutchcraft. Mitch is the Vice President of King Ranch, a massive South Florida farming firm with land holdings of 20,000 acres. King Ranch’s cane sugar farms are part of “Big Sugar”, which is responsible for much of the Everglades’ destruction.
We are running out of time to fix our ever-increasing list of problems. We need elect someone who understands the difference between a symptom and a problem. Someone who is not beholden to their overseers. Someone willing to attack the problems at their source.
Most of those caught up in our corrupt and dysfunction political system say that fixing our problems is easier said than done. To address the degradation of our water and over-development of our land, I say that as Governor, I will use the power of the office and Declare an Environmental State of Emergency.
