Orlando Political Press Presents; Florida’s Top 10 People Of The Year

The year 2010 has come to an end and what better time is there to look back on who stood out, made a difference and set a positive example for his/her fellow Floridians.

It has been a long year filled with some great victories and a few crushing defeats. Democracy can be very ugly at times, but what matters most is that the American people are more engaged today than at any other time in our generation. (And, to be more accurate, we are a constitutional republic, which is important to understand, even if it doesn’t flow as well in a sentence!)

1. The Florida Tea Party Movement
2. Rick Scott
3. Marco Rubio
4. Voters of FL-CD 8
5. Dr. Jack Cassell
6. Allen West
7. Patricia Sullivan
8. Mike Yost
9. Tom Gaitens
10. Frantz Kebreau

Having met and spoken with or been involved some of this list I can say that all had some part in the 2010 elections turning out the way they did in Florida. Their are several others that I could think of to round out the top 20 some in FL Tax Watch, Volusia County 9.12, among other 9.12 and Tea party groups. The local level politics really should be where citizens "get their hands dirty" along side those that show leadership and virtue that just MIGHT "trickle up" to Tallahassee and the Foggy Bottom area !

Elaborate.

I doubt anyone can elaborate without a Democrat Party pamphlet to read from, it is such divisiveness that keeps the voters from figuring out that BOTH parties are using us to continue their "politics as usual" games and class warfare as a smoke screen to avoid facing the REAL problems that face this state and the country !

Ive lived here in florida 7 yrs..and I believe fla politics to be alot more on the up and up than Jersey and NY where I spent the rest of my life.

Rick Scott blew in with the teaparty madness...once the rank and file americans figure out that the teaparty isnt about anything for them...it will all change.
Ive lived long enough to see this Pendulum swing back and forth a number of times...I cant count how many times we were told conservatism is dead...liberalism is dead...and then next thing you know the dead thing is alive and well and in your face
