Marion D. Thorpe Jr., MD MPH
U.S. Congressional Candidate
District 23 – Florida
website
Thorpe has gained the Republican nomination to challenge Rep. Alcee Hastings (D-Fla.) in the 2008 congressional elections. And I have posted about the horrible, vile Alcee Hastings before. — Wild Thing
Dr. Thorpe regarding the BAILOUT:
“We must ask ourselves what this action will teach our children. The answer is easy to deduce, as follows: The message that this bailout sends to our youth indicates that personal responsibility no longer matters.
” I am profoundly disappointed that my opponent, the Honorable Alcee Hastings, who has claimed to represent the interests of his constituents since first being elected in 1992, is a strong proponent of the bailout, including the original Democratic bill which was full of insidious measures that helped large corporations but did nothing for the middle class.
The people of US Congressional District 23 need a clear signal that our government will heretofore facilitate conditions that promote the success and independence of hard working families, not bail out large banks that make bad decisions. While the Democratic proposal was shocking, and Republican support for it constitutes an unfortunate act of folly, Mr. Hastings’ support of both bills is unfathomable.
Having immersed myself in District 23 for the last 5 years, I know the real struggles facing our community. For this reason, I highly support and promote personal responsibility as the soundest method of correcting the multiple deficits of our community. You have my word that my Congressional vote will be cast in a manner that helps small family businesses in the district survive during tough times while simultaneously ensuring that my people thrive in all parts of US Congressional District 23.”

Wild Thing’s comment………..
I am not in his District, but I know there are people that read this blog that live on the other side of Florida where Dr. Marion D. Thorpe, Jr is located.
Alcee Hastings, that in itself is a real challange. Amazing how Hastings got in, has always been a mystery. An impeached Federal Judge for taking bribes, but he turns around and runs for congress. This about sums up what that bunch in Washington really are.
Hopefully, Dr. Thorpe has what it takes to dump the Hastings machine and throw a wrench into their gears so it grinds to a halt.
I hope Thorpe and a lot of other Repubs get elected. Congress is a lost cause right now with the Dem majority and Dem leadership.
Mark, Hastings was elected because his supporters are black and a black man can do no wrong even if he is a criminal. Out here in LA, we have that douchebag Maxine Waters who is re-elected and re-elected by her black neighbors. Never mind that she hasn’t done jack to improve their lives or neighborhoods. She’s black and thats all that matters. Its amazing how ignorant most black people are.
Mark, I sure hope so too. We have too many like Hastings, it would be great to have them all voted out of office and better people replacing them.
Tom, yes if people would only see how important this is, not only the Presidentital election but also offices need to be made Republican, then we can work to get the rino’s out and conservatives elected.
cuchieddie, I agree, they don’t want to know the truth even when presented with it.
Amazing!
