Proud to be a Floridian or the destruction of the conservative right

[Valandui]

I was listening to Morning Joe this AM talking about Romney being one of the worst candidates to run and that if Huntsman, a true Conservative (and my candidate although I generally dislike the right wing for many reasons) had been less forthright, attacked Obama more viciously and didn't speak his mind on being a moderate on social issues, he'd have won the election. As it is, for me, as a Floridian, it boiled down to not putting future ideologue supreme court justices like Scalia in a position to potentially usurp a state's Supreme Court and steal the election. Two bad choices made a little easier by Tony Scalia and Clarence Long Dong Hill. Apparently, I wasn't as alone in that being the decision determination as I originallly surmised I might be.

I don't know that I'd consider Scalia an ideologue unless it's on the grounds of sticking to the Constitution. Thomas, Ok. People like Stevens (yes, I know he's gone) and Ginsberg, definitely. Scalia is about the only one I do trust in that regard, although he definitely isn't perfect. Admittedly, my liking Scalia could be a holdover from my neocon days, but I never really bought into a lot of that either.

I am such a proud Floridian. I am beaming and gleaming and am all smiles.
Yes, we are still counting but what is new.

Obama will take Florida eventually which makes me happy. But what really surprised me and made me happy is that the attempt by the Republicans to change our Florida constitution into a christian-right piece of toilet paper and the attempted erosion of checks and balances not only failed (not reaching the required 60%) but most not even getting a simple majority.

And then the most divisive piece of crap politician (West) will hopefully be declared a loser soon.

LOL at Florida still counting, they seem to be the only state in the Union with that problem. Maybe we should give Puerto Rico it's statehood and give Florida to Cuba! hahhaaaa.

West is labeled as a "firebrand" Republican because he routinely says crazy things. Remember this is the same guy who

In all fairness, this isn't unprecedented. It's how Al Franken became a senator.

I agree. West is indeed a fart sucker.

It is even more embarrassing for West as he moved into a district with statistically more registered Republicans.

West is a jerk....he plays his Vet status yet does not tell people that he was discharged without honors.

Al Franken won, Allen West lost.
