As for this comment in the article:
""Even though Obama is for gay rights, I just think we need a change from high unemployment. People are out of work, the deficit's been tripled," Said Greg Hrize of Naples."

I think that's because under the Bush administration the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, plus the Medicare prescription plan were not paid for nor included in the deficit. Obama put them in, dramatically increasing the defiict, although they'd always been there under Bush.

S.W. Florida has it's share Gay republicans (yes they are not a myth!) I know the person who made that comment (not socially but politically), let's just say we won't have to worry about him posting on DU.
