Then the blind trust itself should be listed, not its contents. If it's a blind trust, the politician is not beholden to those unknown companies and can't use his office to benefit them. If he doesn't know what's in it, why do we need to? If the contents were public, it wouldn't be a blind trust anymore, and the politician might be tempted to favor those investments over yours. Do you want to criticize the trustee's investment decisions that the beneficiary didn't know about?

Good points I suppose, but if the law says you must then shouldn't you. I am more than willing to abide by what the judge says.

I guess it depends on what your definition of is, is.

JP I think my issue was the way you referred to the President. I am fine with your dislike of him, I don't like Gov. Scott or Rep Gaetz and I will post it. But I don't make it a habit to name calling which you and a few others are in a habit of doing. Whether I like them or not, they are our elected officials.

Are you OK with others who dislike Republicans calling them names? If you watch MSNBC, I'm sure you've head worse names than what JP posted about Obama.

Yes, those poor, starving Dems. What a hoot.

Scott is a scumbag. Crist is a sleazebag. Yeah for choice.

The race for Florida governor remains a toss up as voters grapple with which candidate they dislike least, said a new poll released Wednesday.The Survey USA poll showed Democrat Charlie Crist with a 2-point lead over incumbent Republican Gov. Rick Scott, but both candidates are losing the favorability race.
Mr. Crist, a former Republican governor who turned Democrat, had a net favorability of minus 8. Mr. Scott scored a net favorability of minus 10, according to the poll, which was conducted for WFLA-TV in Tampa.

Scumbag? Sleazebag? Better be careful about calling elected officials names. The good taste police may ticket you.

Of course there's also the Libertarian Party candidate. Who knows, maybe something weird will happen like it did in Georgia years ago. Surely we'd get somebody better than Lester Maddox.

Who does Gov. Scott think he is, King Barack Hussein?

I understand that Gwyneth Paltrow would like to crown the Prez.

I understand that Gwyneth Paltrow would like to crown the Prez.

Is Paltrow the twit who wants to give President Obama unlimited power?

 

[tsutcli]

Is Paltrow the twit who wants to give President Obama unlimited power?

One and the same. All looks no brain.

 

[DaleDalbey]

Seriously? The discord has sunk so low people are quoting Gwyneth Paltrow? Shake it off and get back to sharing thoughts that have even a small bit of value to anyone. Ms. Paltrow's views do not.

No I am not and find it just as offensive no matter who it is. As I said, I may dislike them but will refer to them by their title.
