Alan Simpson, Senator from Wyoming, Co-Chair of Obama’s deficit commission, calls senior citizens the Greediest Generation as he compared “Social Security” to a Milk Cow with 310 million teats.
Publishers Note: The seniors paid their dues, if Alan Simpson and his political friends would have kept your fingers out of the Social Security fund and quit stealing money out of it, there would not be a shortage for some time.
You know what Alan, you probably did not pay your portion. Obama and his administration has millions of people on the teat on social security programs that they don’t deserve and they have not paid anything into it.
Many seniors have paid in for 50 or 60 years and don’t desire your kind of talk. You seniors out there watch for Alan to run for office again and vote him off the face of the political scene. How do you like that Alan??? What do you think???? tloury@earthlink. net

Candidate for Superintendent of School’s Jackie Porter Marion County Side of the Villages.
I was recently talking to a Marion County high school graduate who is a successful business owner here in Ocala. When I mentioned Jackie Porter is a candidate for the Superintendent of Schools, her eyes lit up. The statement was made, Jackie is the only school board member that took time out of her schedule to meet with a group of students to support and learn about their trip to the Capitol in Tallahassee.
Jackie gave them hope and encouragement to move forward with their mission fighting for what they believe in, their school activities and life goals. As a spouse of a former school bus driver, I follow the issues on Marion County Public School buses. I have found online an official Audit Report from the Florida Auditor General’s office relating to Marion County Public Schools student transportation funding (school bus routes).
The report is online, just google report 2011-184 Florida Auditor General. On page 46 the findings included routes “were missing and could not be located” and the renumbering of bus routes “was to overstate the number of buses in operation.”
If you remember last year the fiasco of the privatizing of the school bus fleet, the school district kept releasing a count of students who ride the buses as being 29,000 every day. However, the audit report on page 52, clearly shows the student count at 21,461, another over statement.
What does all this mean? In my opinion, the deputy superintendents and executive directors working for these deputies clearing need to go back to school themselves and learn managerial skills.
No wonder they want to raise our taxes, crying poor mouth. Maybe we should ask Jackie Porter to investigate this issue too. She seems to get to the truth and is our watchdog at the school system.

Chris Blair Marion County Side of the Villages.
First, I should not be spelling Dan Kuhn’s name wrong. I apologize, so I will refrain from that error, after all he is our second in command in the Marion County Sheriffs Department for now.
I did not even know Chris Blair six months ago. I first met him at a meeting, we talked and I asked questions. I had already learned many things about the current Sheriff and his management team. Now the Management team is as large as the troops on the streets.
I don’t see how they deal with all that supervision and no backup. I guess they watch out for each other. Our street patrol does a great job. We are seeing some dirty tricks being played out on Face Book against Chris Blair supporters.
Someone..?..took the contributions list of businesses supporting Chris Blair and put a picture on facebook of a Dan Kuhn for sheriff truck (w/signs) in front of the businesses, saying thank you for supporting Dan Kuhn.
The pictures (there were many) were taken in front of a number of business that did not support Dan Kuhn. Whoever is doing that is not helping the cause. Some business owners are livid! This is pure and simple intimidation methods!
To the businesses that this happened to – Don’t back off, don’t be intimidated, work for your choice of candidates in the open and shout it from the roof tops “I will not be intimidated!!!” The dirty tricks are very visible and again no one but me is saying anything.???

Earl Arnette Marion County Side of the Villages.
As for this guy, he is running a clean campaign. The minute he hears something that sounds like dirty politics, he will call whoever said it and ask about it, saying something like why would say that???
Earl and his family are upstanding people and working very hard to get elected with the goal in mind to make a difference. I will vote for Earl! What do you think???

Blues Feast
Rondo of Mojo’s Restaurant’s is a first class Blues singer and you can tell when he is performing that he loves it. He is as good at singing as he is cooking.
I go to Mojo’s all the time, I love the blacken fish sandwich. The food and the service in Ocala or Belleview is consistently good. The Blues Festival was to raise awareness and money for the help with epilepsy research and cure.

History
I wonder what it will say in the history books about Obama. I think he will go down as the worst president ever. His thought process is backwards. Obama has never taken anything.
When it comes to taking credit for killing terrorists he did give the go ahead but had a backup plain so he would not get bad press if things went wrong. Last time I heard him brag about this it sounded like he was in the room.
When the people who have money can prosper they will hire more people, we can get them off of unemployment and welfare. Obama thinks if he can keep 51% of the voters Government defendant by sending checks he can control the vote and keep getting re-elected.
Farmers near Washington are leaving their crops unpicked while the unemployment rate is through the roof. Why? Because these people are receiving $600 a week unemployment, why would they want to get off their fat butt and pick crops for $10 per hour.
Have you ever been hired by a poor man. Not likely, the rich know you have to spend money to make money. If we make them share too much money they will pack up and leave the country, taking their money with them. Someone said Romney has money in a foreign bank. His come back could be, American Banks are not safe right now. When I become president I will move it to an American Bank and so will a lot of my friends.
On May 18th Congress is passing laws to keep people from denouncing the United States, giving up citizenship and moving money to another country so they don’t have to pay taxes. Especially when they sell a large business. If they leave they can never come back.

Politics. Increasing taxes on the rich. Stop drilling in this country. There is so much political bashing that it seems like we are on a train to hell and we are saying “The hell with the consequences, full speed ahead.” A couple of years later the train is slowing down because we ran out of foreign fuel and no one is working to fix it. What say you? [email protected]
