The new website was launched two weeks ago, and as of yesterday 5,600 people have complained in writing, dozens more have emailed and the department has been deluged with phone calls about the botched website, and yet it still isn't working.

License To Campaign On Your Dime?

Is Rick Scott misusing taxpayer funds to campaign for reelection?

That's a legitimate question, and Florida For All has filed a Freedom of Information Act request to find out.

Surprise! Rubio Leads GOP "Outreach" To Hispanics By Killing Immigration Reform

Marco Rubio Drinks His Own Immigration Milkshake

He was young, he could read, he could memorize all the right buzzwords, and he could blame President Obama for everything with the best of them, so naturally Marco Rubio (R-B**ch-And-Moan) was the latest in a string of "rising stars" on planet GOP. He was going to be the savior. Really! This time it would surely work!

Rick Scott Turns The Definition Of "Government Waste" On Its Head

Government Waste: You Built That! As Close As You'll Ever Get To The Governor's Mansion (Photo: Martha Jackovics)

Last week Rick Scott (Mr. Fiscal, as he would prefer you believe) announced his budget plans for next year, and those expecting something different than all his other budgets will be disappointed. It's really just more of the same: Tax cuts for businesses paid for with cuts to things everyday Floridians want, like roads and schools.

Silly taxpayers: So demanding!

Gaming The Vote In Florida: Suppress, Purge, And Split Electoral Votes

Or Will It?

First there was Rick Scott's failed voter purge. Then there was this year's Purge 2.0. (An update on that below.) Now there's yet another plan.

In their latest effort to game the vote for their party, Republicans in Florida have jumped into the "Split The Electoral Vote" club, along with several other states.

Pam Bondi Campaigns For Voter Purging, Anti-Women Ken Cuccinelli

Pam And "The Cooch"

Fresh from the fundraiser that was so important Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi postponed an execution in order to clear her calendar for it, she's off for another important date that has absolutely nothing to do with the people she's actually supposed to represent. She's heading to Virginia to campaign for  Ken Cuccinelli, the Attorney General who's running for governor there. Because, of course she would.

The Fat Lady Hasn't Sung Yet: Rubio, GOP Still Wants To Take Away Her Health Care And Send Her To The Poorhouse

Our long national nightmare is over......well at least until after the first of the year.

The Grifters Only Party had their little tantrum and shut down the government for two weeks, nearly crashed not only our economy, but the world's, and made us a laughingstock in the eyes of said world, but Marco Rubio and his party didn't get the crazy out of their system yet. 

This, apparently, is what Rubio dreams of when he speaks of American Exceptionalism: A country averse to reality. I hate to break it to him, but the American public has NO desire to live on Planet Marco with his merry band of nuts who tried to take the wheel, hit Cruz-control, and send us all careening into the Grand Canyon of derp.

Not. Happening.

But Rubio and crew aren't giving up yet. No sir. The fat lady hasn't sung yet, and they still want to take away her health care (not to mention her birth control) and send her straight to the poorhouse. They'll take nothing less than scortched earth, thank you very much!

The Website "Glitches" In Florida You Won't Hear Complaints About

Disconnected From Opportunity In Florida

We've heard relentless complaints about the "Obamacare" website glitches from the Republican Party who have claimed the Affordable Care Act was doomed to failure from day one. Some, like the GOP, have argued this is a disaster, while others have said it's understandable when you start up a new website. Others have had no problems enrolling whatsoever.

Blackmail Is Unpopular! Who Knew?

Hey Republicans. A funny thing happens when you hold America hostage. Your poll numbers tank at warp speed.

Go figure.

The latest ABC News/Washington Post poll found 74 percent of Americans disapproving of how congressional Republicans are handling the budget negotiations, up from 63 percent two weeks ago. Fifty-four percent said they "strongly" disapprove of the Republicans while 20 percent said they "somewhat" disapprove. Only 21 percent said they approve of the way Republicans have handled the talks.

But keep believing, GOP. The polls are probably just skewed.
