Not-So-Ringing Endorsements

Many asked if RED BROWARD will make endorsements. Nah, that’s too easy. Loyal readers should be able to figure out who deserves your vote. So we’re making a “DO NOT VOTE FOR” list.  All you naughty ones might find your name on our list.

We’re focusing on local races, mostly judicial and school board races.

Good luck to Democrats voting for Sheriff; Neither guy deserves your vote.

In Florida State Senate District 34, do not vote for Mike Lameyer.

In Florida State Representative 100, do not vote for Joseph “Joe” Gibbons. This Judy Stern crony is rumored to live in Jacksonville WITH HIS WIFE AND CHILDREN.

For Broward Circuit Court races, do not vote for Michael “Mickey” Rocque or Julio E. Gonzalez, Jr. Help Me Howard and the salami sandwich doyenne shouldn’t get to stack the courts.

In Broward County Judge races do not vote Melanie Golden (salami), Robert “Bob” Nichols (baloney) or Ilene Lieberman (mango). You should know our take on Ilene Lieberman. Retire her tomorrow. Do not put her on the bench. Bob Nichols represents convicted Broward politician Sylvia Poitier. Sure everyone deserves a defense Bob. But you’re not a public defender; You DID NOT have to take her on as client. You wanted to. Ms. Golden seems perfectly nice but she acquired a taste for salami sandwiches so that’s a no-no.

In the Broward School Board District 3 race, do not vote for Michael E. Levinson. The Plantation teacher was busted writing a gay-bashing memo to a voter.  We don’t care for bigots, especially opportunistic bigots looking to score points with voters.

The Broward School Board District 8 race is easy, do not vote for Franklin Sands. We don’t need a school board lobbyist’s stepfather on the dais. Period.

Sadly, the Broward School Board District 4 race is another easy one. Do not vote for Nick Steffens. He says Stacy Ritter is his “biggest fan”. We need less Ritter in this county not more. This isn’t the first time Ritter and Lieberman have monkeyed in the District 4 race. We’re told both women put up a candidate in 2006 because they disliked Stephanie Kraft. Voters should pick someone else in that crowded field. (Although we hear Franklin Sands was pushing Abby Freedman on voters).

Hey Broward, Did You Make Ruth’s List?

Don’t forget to RSVP for the big “BROWARD COUNTY ‘MEET THE CANDIDATES’ RECEPTION” hosted by Ruth’s List. According to its website, Ruth’s List is “dedicated to building a progressive Florida by recruiting, supporting, and electing pro-choice, Democratic women to public office in Tallahassee, in county commissions, in city councils, and in other key positions around Florida.” Bleh, typical Democratic boiler plate drivel.

The real fun is found in the host committee. You’ll find Broward one-percenter Barbara Miller. Ms. Miller, responsible for many of our lousy school board members over the years, is rumored to have the blessing of the Florida Democrat Party to run things in Broward. Then of course you’ll recognize uber-lobbyist Judy Stern on the host committee. Hmmm, the invite mentions “libations”, does that mean salami sandwiches will be served? Let’s hope Judy’s latest client, Ilene Lieberman will bring a mango platter!

Red Broward is on Ruth Gordon’s list

Comedy will be provided when FL State Rep. Elaine Schwartz tries to explain why she believes Republicans are genetically inferior to Democrats. You’re a real “middle class hero”, Elaine!

Hope to see you all on June 25th at Barbara Miller’s palacial estate in Hallandale. Make sure someone invites the Occupy Fort Lauderdale folks.
