Two outrageous stories in Florida politics

FPL, Florida's Power company has already spent nearly a quarter of a million dollars to get one Republican defeated in the primaries and is ready to spend up to a million more to get him defeated if he makes it to the general elections.

According to the state Division of Elections database, that single $225,000 donation was the largest FPL has made to any political party or group during the past decade.

"They don't want somebody who's going to fight for the people to win this race," said Crist, who has angered the utility by opposing some of its attempts to pass on increased costs to consumers. "You'd have thought it would be much smarter to use that money to make sure their poles don't fall down after a hurricane."


Outrageous. And I wondered why my bill nearly doubled starting in June. Funny, I thought it was the increased fuel costs. Or the after effects from the hurricanes... That's MY money they are spending and I find it completely unacceptable.

Here's another lovely one. G-d chooses the leaders and evidently he only likes Christians. Thanks Katherine, I had no idea. Don't worry, you never had my vote in the first place.
