Republican Socialists


December 31, 2008


Washington, D.C.–“Republicans routinely criticize the policies of Barack Obama and other Democrats as socialist,” said Alex Epstein an analyst at the Ayn Rand Center for Individual Rights. “But their endorsement of Barack Obama’s imminent, trillion-dollar ‘stimulus plan’ shows that they buy into socialist ideas just as much as the Democrats. Indeed, Republican leader Mitch McConnell’s explanation of his party’s approach to a ‘stimulus plan’ would make Leon Trotsky proud: ‘We should have a simple test: Will the . . . trillion-dollar spending bill really create jobs and grow the economy . . .?’
 
“What is socialism, if not the idea that the government should seize citizens’ wealth and control industry in the name of creating jobs and growing the economy? If the government has the political right and economic ability to conduct this ‘simple test’ with a trillion dollars of stimulus, why not just nationalize the whole economy outright, and have McConnell, Obama, and a handful of czars tell us what to do and where to spend our money?
 
“A party that truly understood what is wrong with socialism would recognize the injustice and impossibility of central planners expropriating and dictating citizens into prosperity. It would recognize that wealth creation and economic prosperity are the result of protecting the rights of productive individuals to plan, produce, and trade on a truly free market–absent the massive government manipulation of interest rates and home-buying that brought about the current disaster. The Republicans have not earned the right to call anyone socialist–except themselves.”

Those that were behind the scenes blogging for Mitch…I sent this originally to FT they did not post it and shut down the blog string.  I did not have time to post a reply to the lies that mitchites posted against me and my family prior to the primary, after words I was not given the oppurtunty. 

So I posted here in hopes that those that were posting the BS would read it.

Dave,

Sorry that you and your family were attacked. I know how that feels. Don't worry about posting your response here. I think we all understand.

Remember, your victory is in the fact that the people supporting him had to face defeat. That's a good thing.

I voted for Scott and I'm glad I did.

That was quite a rant, the only thing I didn't take away from it, who was it aimed at?

After the vileness and lies that were spewed through the course of this campaign and the inability to face defeat honorably it doesn’t surprise me that the tone of the county politics has changed, it was our intention to facilitate that change.  No more Mr. Nice guys to go around. 

There are some out there that hide behind their screen names and espouse lies and only have one intention in mind…that is to hurt those of us out here that have a true understanding of how bad this county is suffering at the hands of an incompetent few.  

I can’t believe that these same people that have patted me on the back after serving my country for more than two decades and then out of the corner of their mouths and with alias’ tell me to stay out of things that don’t concern me.  Well I have stayed out of the blog fights on FT, sitting back listening to my friends inform me how bad that a select few fat boys sitting in their mom’s garage or in their trailer have been bad mouthing me and more importantly my kids!  That is new lows for these select few slugs, I can take whatever any one throws my way, but mess with the kids and that is another issue. 

Let’s compare our children for a few moments shall we?  Let’s start with my son Angelo Isnardi, Staff Sergeant United States Army currently serving in Iraq…that’s right, he has received the Purple Heart and numerous other accolades, not a bad start eh?  Let’s move to my daughter Anna-Marie Isnardi, four year degree in criminal justice and one of the most caring, giving women that I have the privilege in knowing.  Then there is Dominic, another four year college graduate in criminal justice, family man with one son and also runs a side business…these are just half of my children and there are more to come…the fact that they are employed at the Clerk’s office with CJ degrees and that became an issue only reaffirms that those blogging need more investigative skills…I would hate to think my tax dollars was wasted on the skills of the bloggers who thought that was an issue…considering more than likely those that were blogging were at one point trained LE investigators?

For the record the races that I was involved with were-Burdett, Ellis, Anderson and Baker.  All won but Burdett.  Steve is a true man of integrity and the county lost out when he did not win…it was a shame he lost.  Ellis is the finest leader that I have served with both in the military or out, I don’t always agree with him but he will listen to new innovating ideas and allows all his employees to have a say.  You can’t ask for more than that. Anderson is the young pup who I believe will be in congress one day, he is not just my good friend he is my best.  I am proud to say that publically as well. Michelle Baker is a fantastic lawyer who made her way through hard work and humble beginnings.  So I exercised my right to be involved…I am always amazed that FT is begging folks to run or be involved yet they facilitate you anonymous bloggers.  That’s okay though, while you were well hidden in your mom’s garage or your trailer doing God knows what in between posts…I was walking doors getting those folks that I thought should be elected, elected!  Have a great four years…sissies!

Thanks, Matthew! I read it and tried to post a comment but it didn't go through.

Can Needelman get any worse than that “Thank you” letter? I am so glad I voted for Scott Ellis. I got honesty, integrity and someone who wouldn't write a letter like that!

BTW, My math problem was 1 + 1. Why do I get all the hard ones? LOL! Laughing

I didn't see or hear about Needleman's concession. Can you give a link? I would love to find out about it.

I think you're being way too kind to Needleman Alex.

Based on his performance, not only should he NOT be the next Clerk of Courts but he should be forever banned from holding ANY position of public trust!

He shouldn't be out there issuing parking tickets at the Indialantic boardwalk!

He has shown us what a pathetic little creep he really is and it is time for him to slither back into whatever hole he crawled out of and leave the good people of Florida alone.


True Sean. Mitch's message to the citizens of Brevard County is that he will achieve certification of dishonesty. It is sad that his campaign of lies is basically a damage to the Republican Party and an insult to the good people of Florida. The shine is off the turd.

I used to respect Needleman. He ruined that all by himself and his smarmy efforts to discredit Scott Ellis. Needleman should have run an honorable race; he chose not to. Needleman should have run a race with issues counting, not personalities; he chose not to. Needleman should have dealt in truth and facts, not lies and deception; he chose not to.

Based on Needleman's performance as a candidate, if Needleman ran for “Mosquito Control Spray Man, First Class,” I would not be able to vote for him.

Too bad Needleman chose the route he did. Needleman could have been a good candidate; but he chose not to. His choice was to lose votes.

My choice was to vote early and to vote for Scott Ellis. This Tuesday, I encourage others to vote for Ellis, too. I think he showed himself to be strong and not needing deception to prove he has done the right thing for the taxpayers of Brevard. I think Ellis for that.

The interview on Bill Mick Live on Friday morning clearly showed that Mitch Needleman does not have the minimum knowledge about the Clerk of Courts office operations.

First he bashed Scott Ellis for not getting along because Scott challenges every expense to lower the costs or reduce  waste of money. Then he said that the Clerk of Courts should be responsible for all the County expenses. 

 So Mitch endorses Scott, because that is what Scott has been doing, truly a perfect job on that part alone.

Mitch said that the Courts expenses are too high, and later claimed that he would add another branch to get more revenues. Of course, ignoring that the extra branch expenses will exceed any marginal income.

The worst was when Mitch added all the accusations and half truths that the Courts should be increasing revenues, while it sounds good, it is total fabrication, since the Courts can not issue traffic tickets or promote marriages to increase the recording fee revenues. After Scott rebutted every single allegation, Mitch simply changed the subject.

Mitch is better fit for State Politics, where the work is purely legislative and does not require experience or hands on every details. The Clerk of Courts requires dedicated hard work that is not meant to be a popular position or social gathering.  Scott Ellis has been doing an excellent job, dedicating many hours extra on his own time.  There was no doubt after the interview, Ellis is the best candidate.

How many people heard the interview on Bill Mick Live on Friday morning with Scott Ellis and Mitch Needleman?  I'm wondering what people took away from that interview.

Personally, I had already decided to vote for Scott Ellis, but after this interview I really felt validated in that decision.  Mitch, who I used to like, came across as a really nasty, angry, win at any cost, slick talking politician, and I really didn't like what I heard from him. 

To me the interview consisted of Mitch leveling accusations, half truths and total fabrications at Scott, and Scott effectively rebutting all of them, but being in the uncomfortable possition of being on the defensive the whole time.

I do hope that Mitch is not finished in Politics around here, but, since he's acting a bit like a child at the moment, we, the voters, really need to give him a well earned time out.

Mitch, if you lose this election on Tuesday, which I think you likely will, take this as the message, “Go to your room and think about how you've been acting, and come back when you decide to be a politician that we can respect again.”

Polls suggest Florida too close to call as McCain, Obama work on final push

November 3, 2008 by Administrator · Leave a Comment 

With both presidential candidates making final appearances today in Florida, polls are showing the state is too close to call.

A poll released this morning by Quinnipiac University gives Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama a razor-thin 47-45 lead over Republican John McCain in Florida, but impressive leads in the other key swing states of Ohio, (50-43) and Pennsylvania, (52-42.)

Five Dollar Democrats… And Other Liars

July 25, 2008 by Steve Bussey · 3 Comments 

Democrat Senators Barack Obama and Harry Reid, as well as other five dollar Democrat politicians and environmentalists, are liars when it comes to oil and gas prices and our national energy policy.

In responding to President Bush’s announcement to lift the executive order banning off-shore oil exploration on Monday, Senator Barack Obama released a statement through his spokesman in which he said, “. . . It would merely prolong the failed energy policies we have seen from Washington for thirty years.” That cannot even be characterized as a legitimate opinion or difference of opinion – it is simply a lie.
