With Democrat Senator Bill Nelson running the most evasive campaigns in U.S. Senate history, Republican senatorial candidate Connie Mack is continuing his “Freedom” bus tour around the state of Florida in hopes of defeating Nelson come November 6th.
Mack met with a group of Republican faithful in Boca Raton, addressing the latest Rasmussen reports poll that had him trailing Nelson by only 3 points- well within the margin of error, and with Nelson unable to hit the 50% mark.
Mack also said that the poll was very telling, in that “people know him (Nelson) and don’t like him.” Mack drew cheers from the crowd as he outlined a stark contrast between he and Nelson, reminding those in attendance that he voted against the disastrous ‘Obamacare’ law while Nelson was one of President Obama’s leading supporters of the very unpopular law.
Nelson turned down a series of debates against Mack, and now Floridians know why that was the case, considering the convincing victory that Mack earned on Nelson during their one and only senatorial debate a few weeks back in Davie.
While this race is still very close, “Mackmentum” has shifted into high gear, and if Mitt Romney’s rise in the polls continues, expect that excitement and success to trickle down to this Senate race as well into other down the ballot races.
Here’s an excerpt of Mack’s stump speech yesterday at the Romney Victory office Boca Raton-
If you think about what America is all about, we believe in big dreams, we believe that our children should reach for the stars… As Americans we want to work hard, we want to compete, we know nothing is handed to us, but we expect a government that respects us for trying, for going out there and working for it. Right now our federal government has turned the lights down a little bit on that American dream. As your next Senator, I will fight to make sure we turn that light back up, that all Americans, all Floridians can dream big and reach for the stars, we will get this country moving in the right direction. - Connie Mack

Loving you Connie Mack.

One thing most Florida Voters are forgetting for years, that it was Bill Nelson who opened the doors to the Insurance Comapanies to abuse all of us, during the time he was INSURANCE COMMISSIONER here in Florida.
The time has come to send him packing and go together with the LIAR IN CHIEF
Hon. Sandra Steen, V.P. LCR Broward – Re.10/17/12 – AGENDA pg.11
America is under attack and Log Cabin Broward recently took a bold stance to address the issue in the AGENDA. We decided to point out our deep concerns by sponsoring a wake-up-call ad since we suspect there currently is a gap in any fair and balanced GLBT media presentation.
Contrary to what is being spread by Log Cabin detractors the picture published was of our Ambassador being rushed to the hospital by Libyan patriots who loved Chris Stevens, considered him their friend, and therefore our intent was to wake up Gay Americans to the threats that our Democratic Republic faces from its enemies, not its friends.
Log Cabin Broward not only recognizes the challenging but demeaning talking points being circulated by those claiming the assassinations were the fault of Republicans. And they subsequently claim it’s disgustingly political for a gay/gay-friendly Republican club to stand tall against what some see as a media blackout and an administration copout..
One organization came forth and stood proudly at Log Cabin Broward’s side because they understood the issues more clearly than many with Jimmy LaSalvia, of GOProud stating, “It’s clear that LCR Broward understand, like we do, that the greatest threat to gay people in the world is the spread of radical Islam.”
Yes, as concerned and loyal Americans we were and are horrified by these horrific 9/11 murders. Apologists here and in Washington babble on about what really happened. The reality is that the United States was attacked, Israel is being shunned, Ambassador Stevens and other brave Americans were murdered, and it’s simply being addressed as political spin.
Again, we don’t see it as political spin and we ask where are the Purple Hearts and Rainbow Flags, where are the pictures of Stevens and those assassinated-American heroes being memorialized under the Capitol Rotunda, and Where are the caissons being paraded down Pennsylvania Avenue bringing our boys back home?
Well, Mr. Mack IV…I’d call it muckmentum. It’s pretty sad when your own hometown paper refuses to endorse you, don’t you think? As a registered Republican, you embarrass me.
If you think these are “hometown papers” you’re living in the 1920s. Most papers are owned by liberal-left conglomerates with outlets located in various cities. The hometown papers are weeklies in small towns. The Fort Myers News Suppress and Orlando Slantinel are very liberal newsrags and anyone they endorse generally should be avoided by discerning voters. Sometimes they slip up and make an intelligent move, not often.
Who really cares about this race??? Mac has proven he is a no show who lives in California, not even a true resident of FL. I say good ridance to Mac.
Furthermore Nelson has consistently brought valuable dollars to this state!
Yes, re Nelson, Even a blind hog finds an acorn once in awhile. How much has the idiot Nelson cost this State? Humm? He let NASA get raped by obama without as much as a peep from to be heard from Billy. How’s the “space coast” looking today? You can be sure they remember the idiot Nelson’s betrayal.
Mack ain’t much to brag on, but he’s got that idiot Nelson beat by a country mile.
I always liked and voted for his dad. The son is NOT like the dad!
Yep, Nelson sold the Space Coast down the river. Literally. The guy is a disgrace to do that to Brevard and walk around and smile. A total, 100%, politician. That’s his big accomplishment in life.
He graduated from Melbourne High too…so he originally came from the Space Coast. He actually sells himself as an “astronaut” because he got a ride on a shuttle as politician. Even NASA employees think the guy used to be a real astronaut because they pushed that story.
It is sad, though, that he can still be in the running at all. What the heck, Florida? Just not paying attention? Seniors… Obamacare took 700+ million from medicare. Just go on and vote for him though.
