Analysis: Florida Republicans use tough times to play to base

As the 60-day legislative session nears the midpoint, House and Senate leaders are advancing a gamut of ideas designed to play to their political base, from cutting taxes on corporations to a referendum asking Congress to balance its budget. There is ballot language denouncing the federal health-care reform.

At the same time, budget writers are pumping Florida's 2010-11 spending plan full of tax credits for films and aerospace firms as well as sales-tax breaks for yacht- and plane-buyers, all in the name of job creation.

"What we're doing here is making an investment," said Sen. Don Gaetz, a Niceville Republican running for Senate president who sponsored the $193 million jobs package that passed his chamber last week. "We're planting some seed corn in hopes of a harvest in years ahead."

They're also waging an assault on public-employee unions by trying to end teacher tenure and lifting class-size caps, scaling back pension benefits, privatizing prisons and even threatening to blow up an entire state agency.

With "investments" like this, I'm sure will turn around its economic problems in a matter of months!!

I can hardly wait!

1. The man from Niceville

Such a phony republicon name...

2. We already saw the failed harvest of Republican tax cuts....

rammed through by George W. Bush. The results are the current joblessness and recession. Now they are trying to fix with more of the same. Makes a lot of sense, doesn't it?

3. "More tax cuts for the wealthy!" - Rush DraftDodger Limbaugh (R)

The republicons stay on message, that's for sure, no matter how twisted their propaganda memes may be. "Vote against your own interests, Republicon-Teabagger Sheeple. Vote for more tax cuts for the rich..."

6. Doesn't that look like a dick in his mouth?

And dark skinned as well!

4. weren't all those tax cuts to the millionaires and billionaires supposed

to get them to open up their wallets and make jobs for people? Where are all the wealthy people who were supposed to be spending their money on saving the economy?

5. That's what they've been selling for 30 years

Look where it's gotten us.

I can only hope the DSCC and DCCC wake the hell up and hit hard on the airwaves.
