The unions are the fire & police .  They pay taxes, they vote, & they protect the public.  Mullaney did not go after the unions because he knew they would not support him.  Mullaney is not a true conservative.  What has he done to validate he is a conservative?  The 34 point plan is a ploy to appear to be conservative while all along he has been Peyton's right hand man spending the tax payer's money big time. Mike Hogan is the real conservative.

I like the fact that Rick Mullaney's approach with his 34-point plan seems very much like Rick Scott's approach with governing the State. I like the fact that at least Rick Mullaney has laid out a detailed plan - most politicians won't do that because they don't the voters to be able to come back later and hold their feet to the fire. I have respect for a politician who will stick his neck out like that. Nobody is going to be perfect. There is no perfect candidate because Jesus isn't on the ballot. So we have to go with the one who seems the most determined to remain independent and do the hard work that needs to be done.

The thing that concerned me about Mullaney was the unanswered questions. Of the ones he did answer, he demonstrated a better understanding of the constitution than did Hogan

 

What concerned me about Hogan was his lack of understanding of the Constitution:

1.  Hogan favors National ID, which the Federal Government will use to provide documentation for illegal aliens

2.  He would not repeal or amend the patriot act which is the most unconstitutional bill passed since creation of the Federal Reserve in 1913. It polices law abiding citizens, but does nothing to secure our borders.  It is a violation of the 4th amendment when federal agencies can write their own warrents  bypassing judges. If one thinks it won't be abused in this Country, remember what happened to Ramos and Compion (border patrol agents).

 

The reason we decided to even ask local representatives Federal level Constitution questions was to determine their understanding of the Constitution.  We felt that if they did not understand the Constitution they needed to learn before serving in office.

Also keep in mind that local politicians VERY often go on to State level offices and then go on to run for federal level offices. So it's completely legitimate to ask federal questions of local politicians. Nip unconstitutional politicians at the local level and you won't have as much of that crap to deal with at the national level in a few years.

Rick Mullaney opposes repealing the patriot act, that is  a direct answer when I asked him. He said its not perfect there are some things he would want to improve but its better than nothing.

he did not answer the question on "Use of taxpayer funds for UN "peacekeeping" missions where U.S. national security is not threatened" that should be a clear answer in my book.

Warren Lee opposes the National ID Card and is for repealing the Patriot act, and answered the question he is oppose to the use of taxpayer funds for UN peacekeeping where national security is not threatened.

Warren Lee is the true conservative and has my vote

Do you think these are the only unions in the state of Florida? The people of Florida pay taxes also. Ever hear of the post office? They are broke. Ever hear of the teachers union? Ever been to a Government office? Were you happy with the service you got? Did you hear about the teacher who showed the movie brokeback mountain to a group of 5th grade math students showing them graphic sexual gay scenes?
Do you think she got fired? If she were in the private sector she would have. Did you see the teachers union protesting in the state of Wisconsin? Did you know there  were communists there standing side by side with the union. Did you see their signs with bullseyes on the Governors face, comparing him to Nazis, calling him a dictator, signs calling for his assination? Seems to me the liberal media had a problem with the TEA Party trying to say we were racists, nazis, astro turf etc.  when all we want is fiscal responsibility and limited government. Did you know when its time to collect social security there won't be any left? Do you think this is fair? Our tax dollars not only pay for  social security and health benefits for us but  also pay the unions. Do you think it is fair they will get theirs but we won't get ours? 70% of all jobs created are done by the private sector and when the government unions get paid more, have better health care, pensions and retirement, this shuts down the private sector. What has Mike Hogan done to make you say he is a true conservative? Why do you think these are the only unions supporting him? By the way you are nothing more than a scab in the eyes of the union. These are union words not mine. These are all FACTS, not my opinion. No candidate will be perfect but it is time to get rid of the politicians and take our country back. One last thing, I had a run in with the police when some scumbag broke into my truck and stole over a thousand dollars in tools. I had to get arrogant with the police to get them to even come out and file a police report. The only thing they did was theaten to take me to jail because I disapproved of their handling of the incident. I was not swearing or raising my voice simply showing my disapproval of their lack of interest in my case. But I will bet you if it were a Policemans truck they would have caught the criminal and put him behind bars using every resource they had.

What Wisconsin, Rick Scott and Mullaney want to do is not exactly what the news is indicating.  They either do not understand themselves, or are deliberately misleading.  The video below explains:
