Pretty soon this thread is gonna be moved to political.
I just like to point this out to wannabes that those facts will make them unhappy. It is something to be considered before moving here.

I never know what to make of these kind of posts.
Why would anyone care who the developer gave to in regards to where they retire ?
Did you all check out the companies you worked for to see who they gave to before you accepted a position ?
It makes no sense, to love The Villages but reject it because the developer is a Republican and a rich one, at least to me. I suppose everyone in every city in the country, especially those with only one paper, should consider the bend of their local paper an if it does not fit for them....move away ! Which is an alternative here also if that is a bothersome issue.
I tend to believe it is NOT an issue, but just something else to divide. Have you checked on the restaurants to see who they give to ?
The developer does not allow this to enter into any management of this community...he does not restrict ANY paper from being sold here...he does not only hire entertainers that pass his political litmus test
