"What I don't get is why people have to be Republicans to live in TV.
What if someone is apolitical. WE all know nothing changes, no matter which party is elected.

A family member "inlaw" happened to recently visit THE VILLAGES and said it was wonderful, a fantasy land, etc......but he couldn't move down there as they were all Republicans. See how nuts that sounds? Same as when someone says they wouldn't want Democrats living there. Live and let live. Our town has two active parties plus a few others, and most people do not pay any attention at all.........."


Of course, you do not have to be a Republican to enjoy life here in The Villages. If you read the Political Forum on TOTV, you would think everyone here is a gun-totin' Republican ready to blast away anyone who would dare to think a liberal thought. Not so at all.

Most people do not even talk politics in everyday conversation. The Daily Sun is an enjoyable paper to read but for real news, you may want to subscribe to an online paper or the Orlando paper. You do not have to go to the town squares the few days that a Republican candidate or speaker comes there.

Political issues don't come up on the golf courses when playing with strangers and even if they did, so what? No one is going to get angry when talking to others even if they are a different political bent than yours.

I say, come on down, look the place over, and if it is what you like as a lifestyle, it would make a great home. I have been here about 3 years and love every minute of it.

One more thing: Andrew Blechman is a total idiot.
