I spoke with a co-worker today and this race came up. He is not a follower of politics, but he replied “Oh, the guy who flew to texas for a desk.”

This is such a sickening power play by the Party GOB’s I want to puke.

In the 2008 Presidential election, it was John Thrasher who had the foresight to support Gov. Mitt Romney, the candidate with a proven fiscal record who was the most effective fiscal Republican as well as viable conservative running. Had other Republican leaders been as politically intuitive, this country would not be stuck with President Obama driving the nations debt up trillions of dollars, taking over everything from Mortgage companies to the Auto indutry and now attempting health care.

What we need now in Tallahasee are proven effective leaders with a record of success. A state senate seat is a coveted position because of the power it wields; but there are serious responsiblities which come with this position. In this economy, it’s imperative Duval voters not send a man without experience in the FL legslature, who does not possess a vision for publc policy, will need on the job training, or would not command the respect of his colleagues. Additionally, if elected, John Thrasher brings with him the real possiblity of giving Duval County another Senate President from Jacksonville and would ensure this district is served well.

John Thrasher was recently endorsed by conseravtive Republicans such as FL’s 800lb gorilla, Gov. Jeb Bush who left office with a 65% approval raitng after serving 8 years, & superstar Rep. Aaron Bean, an 8 year legislator from Nassau County formerly in the Duval delegation. Bean also has an impeccable conservative legislative record and much more so than any candidate running.

Speaker Thrasher is being attacked precisely because he would be an effective conservative. And this is exactly why Duval voters should elect him for the Florida Senate in District 8. He would be a formiable and unapologetic advocate for North East Florida.

Corporations dont respond to threats of regulations, they only respond to the threat of loosing cold, hard cash.

Whine about higher prices all you want, at the rate second-rate medical schools are pooping out docs these days, how would you feel when one of them sews a clamp into you after sugery? Would you say: Oh I dont think I will sue you for more than the cost of my recovery bills as I lay feverish and exhausted from infection. Blah Blah Blah.

Yeah, I am sure you will be a real trooper to help out your poor persecuted negligent doctor.

BTW, it still does not change the fact that Thrasher does not live in the district he intends to represent. I dont care if Jesus himself were running for office, if he has lived somewhere else until a week before the election, he is not going to be getting my vote. If he wants in the Senate so bad, he can run in his own district.
