Okay, to summarize......
1) It is posted in the "Clubs of The Villages" Section, and rightfully so! Its a Villages Club notice.
2) It was funny for awhile...see Bob Dylan refrences! 3) It became political with one unforunate comment blaming Republicans for the recent debt issues; deleted by the poster, but too late! 4) The "Political Forum" is by subscription only because many of us DO NOT WISH to be subjected to "Ear pollution." ......and I am not a Democrat...I'm the other kind! What's the definition of a "Statesman?" A "Statesman" is a dead Politician....and GOD! Do we need more "Statesmen!!!!" _

Democrats/Republicans
The last Presidential election had about 75% Republicans and the rest Democrats and independents.

2 of us coming from Baltimore/Bethesda,Potomac/Miami in January to Sanibel. Actually, we had two serious concerns -- one was being Democrats and the other was being Jewish. We were told that being Jewish isn't an issue, but being a Democrat. . ! Well, that's a twist for us!
We look forward to joining all if you and hope that neither of our concerns will be issues. |

Why would anyone think that being Jewish and Democrat would be an issue in The Villages?
Most people do not even talk politics in their everyday conversations. We are having too much fun with Pokeno, bowling, golf, and other clubs. Very nice temple here, too. True, this is a conservative Republican area but who cares? If you do not like the happy newspaper (Daily Sun) which is totally Republican, subscribe to the Orlando Sentinel, and read the Washington Post online. People are here having a great time with activities. Welcome! |

The Villages (Sumter County) Voting Statistics January 2010: Registered Voters: 36,651 Democrats: 10,226 Republicans: 19,354 Other: 7,071 We've only been here a couple of months, but it really hasn't bothered me like I thought it might. Everyone I've met has been very friendly and politics has yet to come up. If I didn't read the local rag I wouldn't even know how politically conservative TV actually is compared to my previous haunts.
