Finally, an opportunity has now been presented to us that would allow us to rid ourselves of that flaming doofus, Bill Nelson, as our senior Senator here in Florida. This guy is just another "Party above everything else" dirt bag liberal who needs to be sent packing and November 2012 sounds like the perfect time to me. It's all because, thankfully, we have now have someone who many feel will prove to be a very viable candidate. Even though he had initially declined to enter U.S. Senate race, Florida Congressman Connie Mack has now apparently changed his mind. "Connie Mack is running for the U.S. Senate. He is making calls. He is assembling a team. And he will have more to announce about the run in the weeks ahead," David James, a senior adviser, told The Miami Herald.
Mr. Mack, A Republican from Fort Myers, had said he did not plan to run after two of his former colleagues from the Florida House, Adam Hasner and Mike Haridopolos, had thrown their hats into the race. However, things can change pretty rapidly in the world of politics. And part of that change was the fact that Mr. Haridopolos has since dropped out and none of the others, who were potential candidates, never really "caught fire," as the Herald reports. Besides Mr. Hasner, the other potentials were former Sen. George LeMieux, former gubernatorial candidate Mike McCalister and former Ruths Chris steakhouse chief Craig Miller. I'll be honest, I had hoped Jeb Bush would throw his hat into the ring, but I am completely happy with Connie Mack and I actually think he may prove to be a better candidate then Jeb.
All recent polling data shows that the incumbent Democratic Senator Bill Nelson and would have easily defeated any of those on the present list of candidates. That was, of course, before Mr. Mack came onto the scene. So I'm glad that Mr. Mack is now willing to step up to the plate, he is sorely needed. "Mack brings a big name to the campaign," the Herald said. "His father was a U.S. Senator from Florida. Mack, as a sitting congressman, can tap vast resources in D.C. Right now, though he has about $300,000 in campaign cash. His wife, Mary Bono Mack, is also a member of Congress and was married to 70s singer-turned-congressman Sonny Bono before his death. She, too, can help with fundraising." Those of us looking to dump Nelson are going to need to rally around our new candidate if we are to be successful in our endeavor.
The bottom line here is that Nelson has consistently proven himself to be nothing but a rabid ideologue since he was first elected to the House back in 1978 and to the Senate in 2000, and he has been a very enthusiastic supporter of Barry "Almighty," both very good reasons for getting rid of him. He was, and remains so, an ardent supporter of Obamacare and he's part of the reason that we are now so far into debt that our grand kids will be working to pay it off. As a devoted Democrat he is in favor of the further weakening of our national security and our ability to fight the terrorists trying to kill us, and for the increasing of the Democrat voter base through the allowing millions of illegal aliens to magically become U.S. citizens. Republicans will need to gain control of the Senate this next time around if there is to be any hope of being able to drag us back from the cliff on which Barry has us perched.
