Yeah, it should have been AWOL. Fat fingers and didn't know how to edit the title.
Listened to the Republican Primary debate last night. Matt Gaetz did not attend, again.
It was stated that this was at least the second one that he has not attended. I wonder what is his reasoning for not attending? Could it be he is afraid of trying to answer questions on the fly and deviating from a well prepared script? I sure would have liked to hear him respond to the panel questions, as well as questions from the other candidates.
One of the candidates brought up about the PAC that is supporting Gaetz and suggested researching the Federal Election Commission website and consider the special interests that are funding Gaetz's campaign. I did just that and I was surprised to learn that the North Florida Neighbors PAC has spent in excess of $435,000 on his campaign to date. The only other candidate that has a PAC listed is Rebeka Bydlak and the Panhandle Victory fund has spent $10,000 on her behalf.
I know, I know, all politicians have to take money to finance their bid for office. At some point in time and at some level they will all need to do it to remain competitive. But, when I consider that Matt already has special interest he is beholding to and the other candidates start off not beholding to anyone.
I still haven't made up my mind who I will vote for in the primary but I know who I am not going to vote for.
