August 10, 2010, during the GOP's Florida campaign for governor:


"(He's) a conservative through and through, not just when it's cool to be," (Jeb) Bush said of McCollum to a crowd of about 300 people who packed a Jacksonville headquarters, after a stop in Miami and ahead of one in Tampa. "When decisions have to be made that may be tough, Bill doesn't have to go and read a poll. … I want a governor like that."

To defeat Scott, McCollum must be the choice of social conservatives, whose priorities include not only low taxes but also issues such as abortion and gay rights, and McCollum is proposing new restrictions on gay couples who seek to become foster parents.

In an interview with Florida Baptist Witness, McCollum was asked if Florida's existing ban on allowing gay couples to legally adopt children should be expanded to prohibit gays from becoming foster parents.

"I think that would be advisable," McCollum said. "I really do not think that we should have homosexuals guiding our children. I think that it's a lifestyle that I don't agree with. I realize that a lot of people do." He added: "It's not a natural thing. You need a mother and a father. You need a man and a woman. That's what God intended."

In the news of August 30, 2010:

Jeb Bush to attend GOP (Rick Scott for Governor) *Unity Rally* in support of exCEO in Medicare/Medicaid fraud as next governor




Strangling Florida under unending Republican siege, wreaking incalculable damage to her people, is surely not what God intended.

1. We're only in our 8th year next door in Georgia.
We're feeling your pain. Hoping that our pre-takeover Governor can take back his office.

3. I am sick and tired of these mother fuckers running our state!!! and, it might be getting worse
I am seeing plenty of bumper stickers with January 20, 2012...Today I saw one with plenty of flags...etc. saying we will remember in November 2010 and November 2012.

As you know, we live in a southern state with plenty of ignorant people...Plenty of racism, this is prime territory for Beck/Palin relegious type propaganda.
