Default Democratic Speakers

I was talking with a lady attorney last month and she told me that her group had invited a democratic candidate for a state level position (I think it was state) and that they had 450 people in attendance. Not ONE word in the paper. It is the one sidedness of TV position that bothers me a lot. I would be equally bothered if it was a liberal community that never had a conservative speaker. We are adults after all. If you don't want to hear a more liberal speaker...DON'T COME.

Even with the above, I love it here. This is, however, a company town in every sense of the word. A beautiful and wonderful company town.
I was down there last year and it is indeed beautiful. I especially enjoyed the golf cart paths and bicycled all over. Regretfully, on the bus ride back to the airport I had to endure the rantings about Obama's nationality. That along with the IRS mess made us question whether the Villages is for us.
