The voters will regret voting for the right.

TALLAHASSEE -- The Florida Legislature christened a new era of conservative government Tuesday, flexing its newfound muscle by overriding eight vetoes in a half-day special session.

It also put Congress on notice that it intends to reform the state's multibillion-dollar Medicaid system, and berated members of the Florida Supreme Court for overreaching their authority.

The historic override of Gov. Charlie Crist's vetoes came after the House and Senate swore in 54 new members and named Sen. Mike Haridopolos, R-Merritt Island, and Rep. Dean Cannon, R-Winter Park, as their presiding officers for a two-year term.

florida, texas, & at least one more.

world of hurt coming.

hoo boy

that the Repuglicans never had a replacement plan or any plan....those folks are going to become rather let's say......aggressive....

supported them with their votes. So, the end of State sponsored medicaid would be one of the things that would go.

Does this mean that Florida may not be the best destination for retirement for Seniors?

Medicaid is for the poor, not the elderly...

....will be dead faster now.

folks the ride has just started.... I will not be shocked to see ahem 10th amendment remedies soon.... we are getting closer and closer to that just pre-civil war environment.

History does repeat itself in not so amusing ways... and it is easier in a country that loves NOT to know history.

And will be more than just the south.

I don't think the Mountain West, et al, would be interested. Tea partiers are loud, but not very deep. It'd be -- pretty much -- the Confederate states, and there'd be a massive brain drain from JL to the remaining US territory following partition.

poured into Florida this time around from outside.

Republican Tom Corbett may also reform Medicaid. He said he’ll be watching Texas to see what happens there.

The Republicans don't believe in History.....sit back and watch folks this is going to be a very ugly situation in the U.S.

We may be screwed up, but at least we haven't gone insane.

are coming to a close, thank god!

And unlike Crist, Governor McFraudy will no doubt sign it in a heartbeat.

PA is going in that direction too..

prepare for the inevitable Republican plan to make the Democrats a permanent minority (through gerrymandering) everywhere.

Far more accurate, since they're screwing everybody over.

And no more Florida vacations for me.

I know it sucks for people who are not republican, and who are trapped there, but like an alcoholic or a drug addict, sometimes you have to hit bottom before you can get better..

Maybe 2 years of this idiocy will wake people up..
