What Would Carnies DO?
Why, of COURSE --- they would PUT ON a SHOW:
And here you have it. Rubio vs Crist. As far up in Florida Govt as the eye can see. (though , to be sure, Florida Govt. extends MUCH farther.
Clever way to get that up the lege's agenda, eh? LOL !!
Read the whole bit; it's got many hidden smiles.

What most forget is that a competitive market place is a good thing for the consumer. In this case there would be no competition and the Hard Rock could bascially do and charge whatever they wanted. Give the same edge to the tracks!!! |

Dumbest thing, if he wins and the Feds step in and write the deal cutting Florida out of it, the guy has committed political suicide. The only way after the feds step in is to open it up to private enterprise, otherwise Florida gets nothing, DUMB! |

Although Gov. Crist always signs his letters with "God bless the people of Flordia" it doesn't mean that he is guided by God. I am glad to hear that he is looking out for the American dream of our children, but is that really how God would handle it? |

If you are going to let the Seminoles have these gambling games, why not let the dog tracks, race tracks, Jai-Alai, etc.? Why let some do it and not others? That doesn't seem fair at all and now those other places will surely go out of business. |

It sad when (Jackasses) like Rubio and Geller don't see the big picture that the state could receive nothing if the Federal government steps in and make a determination on what Seminole Indians can do. Benefit to Education should be a concern? |

Let's keep gambling, been doing it for years with the dog track |

While it would be easy to dismiss Rubio for being an idiot, the fact is that political ambitiousness will come back to bite this young pup in the behind. He may win this case, but he's on his way to being the new Katherine Harris - a loser! |

How stupid is Mr Rubio. If the governor didnt make the deal the Indians would have still gotten it with the state getting no money. It is currently a win/win situation. Maybe Mr Rubio should go back to practicing law |
Now, isn't it AMAZING how Bush's Secretary of the Interior was going to push a deal past Florida .. thereby threatening Florida (with all the TAX SCARES LOL!!!!!!) with loss of GAMBLING revenue. Cause you can SEE how well others states are doing by relying on gambling revenue, correct? LOL. Which is why MOST of NJ and NY gambling lil families now live HERE. OH. YAY !
By this time next year, they'll be breaking ground for the casinos ... and in my hood the surveyors have already been out. They just keep forgetting that there's this ONE LIL DETAIL >>>> they do NOT own all the property they need. LOL !!!
Remember what Crist and Co. snuck through the lege last session when they were sposed to be concentrating on property insurance and taxes?
Anyway ... it's all amazing. And, I guess ALL RICH FOLKS always get STALKED by those trying to steal from them.
I'll be watching for the eminent domain action to build a casino 'for the greater good'. LOL !! Pre-empts are in order.
I'm a little behind in paperwork but I'll be rectifying that shortly seeing no evidence of wise guys actually WISING up.
From the Herald Tribune.
I love what McCollum says .. even though it's TRUE it's just the way he says it ... everyone is BAD and that's BAD and I'M NOT and neither are my friends in the GOP.
Excerpt:
Attorney General Bill McCollum, a conservative Republican, had said earlier that the federal government could not force the state to sign a deal with the Seminoles. He said Wednesday that increased gambling could hurt the state.
"I think it could have a very negative impact on tourism," McCollum said. "I think it will create more criminal behavior. It always does."
But some lawmakers said the dismal economic future for the state, facing a multibillion-dollar shortfall in tax revenue, only makes gambling a bit more appetizing.
"I think the majority of the Legislature feels that even if they're not gambling advocates, this might be better than nothing," said Rep. Ron Saunders, D-Key West.
The fact that we are in this kind of economic situation "may get some folks on the fence to be more supportive," he said.
