Party of the elite

 

Party of the elite

In the Dec. 5 story Tampa business leaders hope to strengthen ties with Cuba, Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen says, “I find it unfortunate when some look to partner with the Cuban regime and place the value of dollars over the value of people.”

This from one of the leaders of a party that has put corporate profit above all else, a party that wants to privatize public services for corporate profit, defund public schools in favor of private for-profit schools and protect the profits of the millionaires and billionaires of the Wall Street and corporate elite over the American people.

Sorry, Ms. Ros-Lehtinen, but your slip is showing.

The two editorials were full of false statements and “spin” provided by the city manager’s supporters and, apparently his very own unauthorized taxpayer funded crisis manager.

  • Better way to ‘purify’ voter rolls

    Guess we have yet another Republican-influenced election year stunt with the 180,000 questionable “citizen status” verification voters.
