That's not name calling that's a challenge. Your way to negative! that's a fact. You can't change a dam thing and your angry at the world. I'll bet your blood pressure is up 20 points right now for no good reason. Your so angry you would risk your own health, for what? You have nothing to gain, so why bother? I do enjoy the back and forth, However how about a few more facts and a little less ranting?

It is islandeye. All he can do is ranting. Typical Republican loser.
IRS is the most respected agency of America.I know NO one of my American friends is not afraid of IRS. Means I am surrounded of tax "safer".OK. This sport is international. Except America is under taxed. Really not necessary. President Barack Obama is right. We need not the Mitt Romney's. We need Iowas John Doe. Hard working, tax reliable, patriotic, democratic.
Could it be our friend R.J.? The champion of asbestos and sewer construction?
YES! Under supervision of King Moss!
Nixon was a great President. Unfortunately he forget to manage a democracy.
Great President Barack Obama is right. America is under taxes. Let the right wing Americans pay 25% MORE INCOME TAXES AND THE WORLD IN America IS OK!So simple is that! But it s nor right to force IRS to investigate special target groups. But great President Barack Obama stopped that immediately. Great guy.Once is for sure. Most bloggers here, like August and others, were never focused by IRS. Low income groups are not interesting.
Let the people VOTE!
100% correct!

YES! Chuck is the only one I know is really open and transparent. A honorarily guy. I have no idea why elected people forget immediately what they promised before election day. It is sad for Marco Island that Chuck has his last term.
YES! Forgive GOP that WE put Mitt Romney on the ballot!
in response to 26yearsonmarco: I don't know what you mean by my "interpretation". There is nothing open to "interpretation", because BHO’s actions speak louder than words. As far as your comment that BHO didn’t know anything about HST because he wasn’t born at the time, reflects directly on his lack of education.

Like I wrote: By your interpretation!
Now that we agree on something, can we also agree that President Reagan, who also helped Germany by tearing down the Berlin Wall, was the best Republican President during our time??
"100% agree!!!!!!!"
Also, how can you compare the actions and spending habits of HST to your unsung hero BHO, who spends more of our money on one vacation than HST spent in his entire lifetime???
"Agree, but disagree with your interpretation!"
As HST said, "The Buck Ends Here", but how did he know it would be named BHO who would do it??
"He did not know it. So simple is that. As he was President great President Barack Obama was not even born."
in response to 26yearsonmarco: This is a story about the last great Democrat President we have had in our Once Great Country: Most people won't believe this happened, but it DID. Harry & Bess (This seems unreal.) Harry Truman was a different kind of President. He probably made as many, or more important decisions regarding our nation's history as any of the other 42 Presidents preceding him. However, a measure of his greatness may rest on what he did after he left the White House. The only asset he had when he died was the house he lived in, which was in Independence Missouri. His wife had inherited the house from her mother and father and other than their years in the White House, they lived their entire lives there. When he retired from office in 1952 his income was a U.S. Army pension reported to have been $13,507.72 a year. Congress, noting that he was paying for his stamps and personally licking them, granted him an 'allowance' and, later, a retroactive pension of $25,000 per year. After President Eisenhower was inaugurated, Harry and Bess drove home to Missouri by themselves. There was no Secret Service following them. When offered corporate positions at large salaries, he declined, stating, "You don't want me. You want the office of the President, and that doesn't belong to me. It belongs to the American people and it's not for sale." Even later, on May 6, 1971, when Congress was preparing to award him the Medal of Honor on his 87th birthday, he refused to accept it, writing, "I don't consider that I have done anything which should be the reason for any award, Congressional or otherwise." As president he paid for all of his own travel expenses and food. Modern politicians have found a new level of success in cashing in on the Presidency, resulting in untold wealth. Today, many in Congress also have found a way to become quite wealthy while enjoying the fruits of their offices. Political offices are now for sale. Good old Harry Truman was correct when he observed, "My choices in life were either to be a piano player in a woman of allegedly ill repute house or a politician. And to tell the truth, there's hardly any difference!" I say dig him up and clone him!

The best comment you ever type.I am 100% agree. Harry Truman was the best. Even if Republicans hate as he fired Douglas MacArthur. Eisenhower refused the traditional coffee and cake meeting in the White house on inauguration day. . However - a great President ranked by me as number one too.He did for Germ,any more than you can even believe. I was on his tombstone and said: Thank you Harry!

I am not agree. The city manager did a great job over all. The problem after King Moss and Thompson is, nobody qualified wanted this job under control of a second class city council member anymore. Now we have a better personal cast. Marco Island has a better chance to get a high professional city manager.The valence between the old city council even with Tucker and co and King Moss was not good for Marco Island at all.Time for new start. And maybe we use Waldi as consulter. He learns from his mistakes.

in response to 1Paradiselost: The way you guys talk you would think Hillary was in Benghazi with a Thompson Machine Gun standing guard and ran. 4 people died. Do you blame Reagan for 188 Marines dying during the embassy attack in Lebanon? I don't, he was at his ranch in California. Do you blame George W. Bush for the attacks on the twin towers in New York City where 2,817 died? Of course not! He was being president in a photo op reading to school children. Do you also blame Eisenhower for Gary Powers being shot down in his U-2 over the Soviet Union? of course not! Do you also blame FDR for the attacks on Pearl Harbor where over 2,000 people died, Of course not! I could go on, However.... I don't blame any of the people above for what happened. The only way one could lay blame is unless they were standing there during the action. I feel bad that people died, but in life hindsight is always 20/20! Hopefully the people named above learned from their mistakes and moved on. You can't change history! If you could alter your personal past, how many things would you change? See things for how they really are... Just another witch to hunt trying to anger the American public, people looking for political points. The right hates the fact that Obama is a good family. There good black families, The majority not all are on welfare. Everyone needs to lighten up.

Fully agree.For some people one death is a tragedy. 4 deaths is a disaster. 1 000 and more deaths is a national catastrophe.More than 10 000 death is just a statistical number.Whom will this people blame for the tsunami?I guess God every given Sunday.

He lost like usual!!!!!!!

A great Lady with future visions. Different to the old good boys club of Republicans with yesterday ideas.
"Radel gave a couple of shout outs to the “Democrat Party,” saying “they run their party like a business,” and are “five years ahead of us on technology.” Unlike George Bush, Bill Clinton was mentioned by name. “The last time we had a balanced budget, that was a pretty good decade,” he said of the 1990s, adding that Clinton worked with Republicans to achieve that balanced budget."
Even young Republicans believes that the future of America is in better hand by liberal Democrats. The good old boys club of conservative Republicans is over. Thanks whom ever. Maybe Mitt Romney. A very realistically young man this guy Radel. Maybe in 16 year a good front runner.

Liberty and freedom took a long walk today toward the end of the pier, very, very sad.My gut tells me and other real American's that Obama just handed President Romney the keys to the White House !!!!!!!

I am a liberal democrat. I did not change anything. But your statement is terrible. If you are not able to go with the time, you go with the time. By, by! Nobody cares!Hopefully this statement is not an insult.
The GOP start to learn from the Romney disaster. "We wanted someone who is fighting for us," accounted for Jenny Beth Martin, national coordinator of the "tea party Patriots" in the Press Club in San Francisco.
"What we got, a weak, moderate candidate was personally chosen by the Beltway elite (this is the political caste in Washington) and the country club Republican establishment." The defeat of the Presidency is clearly on their Cap."
"He has killed us in the country", says the conservative radio-talker Steve Deace about Romney.
Death rattle of the GOP establishment
"Mitt Romney's defeat was the death rattle of the party establishment," Richard Viguerie, Chairman of ConservativeHQ.com lets know. And this: "Tea party people are the party within four years take."
The election was lost, because Romney is not conservative enough, it says on the right wing. During the primaries, former Senator Rick Santorum, the Catholic favorite of Evangelicals, tirelessly in this Horn, came already and he promoted his nomination, to provide "a clear alternative to great President Barack Obama".
During the primaries, Romney had recommended the "self Deportation" illegal immigrants and announced only shortly before November 6 in individual interviews, children should fear no deportation of "Undocumented", which had reached a high school in the United States - which is very close to the plans of the President Barack Obama.
"A coalition of aging white men to failure is condemned in a nation that looks increasingly like a rainbow", warns the journalist Nicholas Kristof in the "New York Times". The largest and rapidly growing Latino minority is likely tipped the scales for Obama in New Mexico and in "Swing States" such as Nevada and possibly Florida. Also Asians chose the President Barack Obama 77 percent.
However, there are a slew of younger politicians, who could help to broaden the tent of the party has become narrow again. Marco Rubio, the young Senator from Florida with Cuban roots.
Or Bobby Jindal, charismatic governor of Louisiana, and Indian descent.The brother of the former President and ex-Governor of Florida, is suffered again called, married to a Mexican woman and when the Hispanics that Jeb Bush.
Together with Chris Christie, Governor of New Jersey, and Paul Ryan, who got at least US-wide reputation as a failed "running mate" Romney, they should stand for 2016 in the wings.
And now the start of the change:
"A national group of prominent GOP donors that supports gay marriage is pouring new money into lobbying efforts to get Republican lawmakers to vote to make it legal."
GOP on the way to liberal positions. Good move.Next subject: taxes!

Quit frankly - it is not necessary that you understand. Important is - I understand!
"Thirty-year Republican House of Representatives and Senate staffer Mike Lofgren, in a 2011 article entitled "Goodbye to All That: Reflections of a GOP Operative Who Left the Cult", characterized low-information voters as anti-intellectual and hostile-to-science "religious cranks," and claimed Republicans are deliberately manipulating LIVs to undermine their confidence in American democratic institutions."
Best example Mitt Romney.

Mitt Romney will do history under the head: "The Romney experience - how to lose an election you are convinced to win!"

YES! But 90 % of them were armed forces, and KGB. Welfare didn't exist. He never take care of poor and helpless people.
So - why do you use this mass murder as testimonial? Not very smart.

The charter school is located in the perfect place, on a county highway. Perfect for large truck and bus traffic. Modern schools are no longer located in residential areas due to traffic and safety concerns! They just finished building a beautiful campus. Maybe you should give the school a visit to see for yourself?

I have nothing against the new location. I am a big supporter of the school. But the location is zoned for assisting living and retirement.For what is Trakt K zoned? Somebody say so others say so! So what is it?
"Why doesn’t Marco Island City Council and the people of Marco vote this obsolete organization off the Island and do away with this problem once and for all? We are a city now. We don’t need MICA."
100% correct. In this days is nor room more for nostalgic organizations. Time is over. The legal Representatives of the people of Marco Island are the city councilors. This shoulder clapping dinosaur can rest in peace. There is no space for a shadow government on Marco Island. Best example. The new location for our outstanding state of the art charter high school is zoned as an area for assisting living or retirement opportunities. Trakt K is zoned for school and education opportunities. So where was MICA as they have to force Trakt K as location for Mrs Jane Watts great idea?
