Endorsements only mean who is going to align with that particular grous interest and not that of the voter.
ReplyDeleteSo, if you oppose the special interest, maybe don't vote for the special interest candidate.
This means they are just brought & owned by the money men who have been running this county for years. They don't care about the citizens of the county just how much money they can make off the backs of the citizens. Give me a break!!! The Rev Golden instead of Vern Buchanan, when pigs fly. Manatee County is not known as the good old boys county for nothing.
