Former FL Dem Party Leader Barney Bishop Slams Progressives, Endorses Romney

by CarterFliptMe

The former executive director of the Democrat party in Florida, Barney Bishop, sees the way Progressives have pitted themselves against the rest of the country.  He wrote in the Sunshine State News that he is supporting Mitt Romney for the presidency in November, for the good of the country and its future.

In 1992, I was the executive director of the Florida Democratic Party. I managed political operations for the Democrats in one of the largest swing states in our nation.

Our nominee, Bill Clinton, went on to win the presidency, and he fostered eight prosperous years in our nation’s history. He delivered balanced budgets and surpluses that reduced the nation’s debt.  Clinton was the type of Democrat I’ve supported my whole life, fiscally conservative while still focused on the needs of the hard-working middle class. Clinton famously declared, “The era of big government is over.” Barack Obama is a completely different kind of Democrat.

In every challenge that faces our nation, Obama sees a solution that can only come with another government-spending program. He fails to harness the ingenuity of entrepreneurs; instead he actually places obstacles, like burdensome regulation, in front of their path to progress.
