As I mentioned many times before, I was a Democrat my entire adult life. To punctuate my point, I was raised in a LIBERAL environment. I like to describe myself as a Capitalist with a HEART! Afterall, I did work for Wall Street firms the first half of my adult life and I have a bachelor's degree in FINANCE. I earnestly believe that a genuine coalescence is possible between FREE MARKET enterprise and HUMANITARIAN ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITY. Nevertheless, neither party satisfied me completely. I chose to lean toward my Democratic side. I am NOW registered as an INDEPENDENT because BOTH parties have LOST SIGHT of the fact that you're PUBLIC SERVANTS FIRST and not there to ingratiate yourselves solely for your personal gain .
Let me just say that I am in shock that these ARROGANT SOB's STILL don't get it! This ENTIRE PAST YEAR ALL of the Democrats, their mouthpieces and news anchors have been patronizing people like me, insulting people like me, shunning people like me, and laughing at people like me. You even avoided people like me at town hall meetings REFUSING to answer legitimate policy questions. You even cancelled town hall meetings because you didn't want to deal with people like me. Now that the Democrats are vying for their political lives, their STILL resorting to name calling. Senator Robert Wexler is referring to people like me as a "Tea Bagger". "Tea Bagger" is a term that both MSNBC and CNN anchors used to describe people like me who are part of the Tea Party Movement that is made up of FREEDOM LOVING INDEPENDENTS, Democrats and Republicans. "Tea Bagging" literally means when a man hangs his testicles onto the head, face or inside the mouth of their sexual partner. I have heard many Democratic politicians use this term as well as Democratic commentators. How is that for ethical behavior. My own mother who has been a liberal her whole life and is now in her 60's, is DISGUSTED by all of you. She TOO joined the Tea Party Movement with me last year on her own FREE WILL. My mom is still registered as a DEMOCRAT.
Politicians work for us! We pay for their six figure salalries, amazing health care, fringe benefits and expense accounts out of our collective taxpayer earnings. Did you know that ALL of Washington politicians voted to give themselves a RAISE last year? They didn't bother ASKING US if we thought they DESERVED IT! That's how arrogant they are. Like Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY) declared during a debate on the economic stimulus bill that "the American people really DON'T CARE" about pork spending Democrats laced throughout the bill. Then asked by a reporter if the "economic stimulus" package was big enough, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) pointed out that the bill is approaching a price tag of 1 TRILLION dollars. He's so giddy in this video talking about spending all of this new found money which in essense went to pay off ALL of their political friends (SPECIAL INTERESTS)! and BILLIONS of dollars MAGICALLY DISAPPEARED that went to districts across America that DO NOT EVEN EXIST! I didn't agree with this kind of behavior when the Bush administration did it and I most certainly do not agree with it NOW! ALL of you keep spending money like it comes out of thin air NEVER ONCE taking into account that we, the working class, have to pay for it. Of course, you don't have to worry about paying for this DEBT, you know ALL of the tax shelters and loop holes! The common citizens, the working class of this country DO NOT have that luxury.
Washington has NOT YET grasped the FACT that they are NOTHING without the common people! Well guess what WASHINGTON... THE AMERICAN PEOPLE DO CARE! I am grateful that the American people are waking up to the fact that BOTH PARTIES have been seriously VIOLATING THEM in the most egregious way with a smile on your faces. That SMUG smile of yours is about to be WIPED OFF! A rude awakening of sorts is on the horizon come November for you folks in Washington. Your FREE RIDE on the backs of hard working Americans IS OVER!
I have always been politically active and been on many democratic email list. It never occurred to me to remove myself from those list. Nevertheless, I received an email today that I just got through reading. I have copied the entire email for your reading pleasure.

Dear Friends,
In my 13 years in Congress, my seat was generally considered a SAFE Democratic seat.
But as we saw in Massachusetts last night, there are NO safe seats. No one in politics could have imagined eight weeks ago that the seat held by Ted Kennedy, one of the most progressive leaders in American history, would be won by a conservative Republican. The effect of this loss could be devastating to health care and much of what Democrats are fighting for.
Now those same Tea Bag Conservatives are targeting my old seat in an effort to defeat a very capable and accomplished Democrat, Ted Deutch.
I need your help to make sure that what happened in Massachusetts doesn't happen in Florida.
Please contribute to Ted's campaign here.
Ted's opponents are going to have a lot of help as groups smell blood in the water. They believe they can derail not only health care, but the entire Democratic agenda - leading to gridlock and stagnation until the 2012 elections.
Now - with an open seat and a good deal of momentum - the GOP believes anything is possible. They're organized and coming for Ted. Just today in the Palm Beach Post, GOP leaders said, “If we can win in Massachusetts, we can win anywhere.”
Please donate and help keep this seat secure in the hands of a strong Democrat.
Ted's congressional race is only weeks away and will be the next national barometer for whether America wants an economy that works for everyday Americans (not just big Wall Street banks) and supports true health care reform.
It's time to be vigilant. The entire country is going to be affected by the loss of Senator Kennedy's seat. We must continue to work hard to make sure the same doesn't occur here and in other open or vulnerable districts across the country.
Thank you again for all your best wishes and support.
Congressman Robert Wexler
