Endorsements
There are a lot of good people running for office in Florida, and I get e-mail from many of them. I give them what support I can, which isn’t a lot, but I won’t endorse them on the blog.
There is a good reason for that and it deals with the nature of politics today.
They aren’t the problem, I’m the problem for them. I have written about three issues [Cuba, Israel, and Iran] that would create trouble for candidates in Florida, and I don’t want these people to waste limited resources dealing with corporate attack ads about my views as a supporter of these candidates.
This is going to be a disgustingly negative campaign season because of the Synod’s decision in the Citizens United case. We have already seen in the Republican primary that these super-PACs have decided that they will be the mud-slingers, while the candidate’s campaign will have ‘plausible deniability’ for the attacks.
The stupid uproar generated by DonaWho in the last Presidential season over the Edward’s campaign hiring Amanda & Melissa was a pale shadow of what will occur in this age of corporate propaganda unleashed by a male, Catholic majority on the Supreme Court.
