Here is my experience while I was deciding:
While I was riding back to Orlando on a lifestyle trial I had to endure an hour long negative tirade about Obama from another passenger. I was as tactful as possible. Rupert Murdock's FOX radio plays on the streets in Sumter Landing. There are articles about how Romney window signs were tolerated and how Obama window signs were ordered down.

Yes, I made the right decision. If you doubt that what I said has merit, just read Cisco Kid's reply. The best evidence that I am right is if this thread is taken down.

Do you me this one.
And I meant it
P.S. I do not live in The Villages.

I may not always agree with all of my friends in The Villages, but I still enjoy them and they enjoy me. My neighbors don't judge me, and I don't judge them. Frankly, we don't discuss it much at all.

I've been to Sarasota (and Gainesville for that matter), and it's great. But do you really think that only "Progressives" live in Sarasota? I find plenty of tolerance here.

Why I did choose The Villages? The lifestyle amenities, the weather, and this great house I live in.

Just saying.............................

God bless you
And I know you and all others will always be loved welcomed in TV.
