It embarrassing when these neanderthals win public office. It is a platform for them to spread their ignorance. Unfortunately, here in St. Petersburg, this troglodyte won and now we are saddled with him and his dark ages mentality for the new few years. How a mayor, who believes that the Flintstones are ancient history, can encourage the scientific community to bring their research and development centers to our town in light of his backward thinking is beyond me. In Florida these fundamentalist have been trying every way they can to bring creationism into the class rooms. Bush the lesser, as governor, brought the voucher system into the state. This was a way to get public dollars to finance their infantile beliefs in the classroom. I'm afraid we are doomed. If we can't stem the tide of ignorance in our government officials we will remain the laughing stock of the civilized and educated world. Jim, I agree.

When school boards begin to require teaching of creationism in science class it is time for intelligent people to rise up and push back with more than a little force. I think we have seen that push back in Pennsylvania and even Kansas. Maybe there is hope.

I would rather vote for someone based on what they have said and done in the past rather than the (D) or (R). It would seem that for the most part they are both going to lie to get the votes and the party id would just help the sheep to follow which chute to enter to go into the slaughterhouse. Hint, both chutes go to the same place, one just tends to wonder around and take more time to get there, but the end location appears to be the same in the long term. Sorry that I'm late to this, but I thought that I would add my 2 cents worth.

This Foster character is a page right out of Landover Baptist.com. I think it's really funny now how he's trying to court the Gay vote after rejecting and insulting them in every way possible while he served on the St. Pete City Council. Watch out for that Gibbons character bringing the African American vote to Foster for the strictly philosophical difference between Ford and him (Foster). It could and probably will get really nasty before it's all over. Keep up the good and outspoken work! Robby All Right Frog Man!
