		<description>Dr. Khavari is a Democrat because he had to pick a party to run on. He is not a politician per se but an economist with impeccable credentials. I have studied this plan and found that North Dakota has a Citizen owned State bank and is flourishing. There are several other States investigating this solution and if it is handled right it can put Florida on the road to economic stability and prosperity. I think we need to back this guy up - or - anyone who is willing to solve the economic dilemma that is eating our lives up.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;I’m not wild about the FDP, especially under Karen Thurman, but I understand why they’re doing what they’re doing. Alex Sink can win, and the stakes are just that high after twelve years of Jeb! and Cheerful Charlie.&lt;/blockquote&gt;



Know what? You&#039;ve just hit on the point that I&#039;m now old enough and wise enough to realize what is wrong with the Party-wars mentality, where winning becomes the only option, no matter what. The public be damned. Or maybe it&#039;s senility beginning to set in. Not sure which.

First thing is, I can&#039;t recall any election where the mantra was not &#039;the stakes are too high . . .&#039; or &#039;couldn&#039;t be higher . . .&#039; This seems to remove rational thought from the equation, causing the FDP and the RPOF do act as they are.

For me, Khavari&#039;s plan is a plan that can win support from people in both parties, if given a fair shot and exposure. Making the people of Florida the winners, instead of The Party. Somebody said there is a fine line between wisdom and senility. I forget who.</description>

		<description>Nah, I&#039;m just giving you a hard time.

The good news is you won&#039;t have to change your party affiliation. Dr. Khavari doesn&#039;t stand a snowball&#039;s chance in hell of winning the Democratic nomination. Yes, Karen Thurman has anointed Alex Sink as the Democratic nominee. Yes, the FDP has worked to push other candidates out. I&#039;m not wild about the FDP, especially under Karen Thurman, but I understand why they&#039;re doing what they&#039;re doing. Alex Sink can win, and the stakes are just that high after twelve years of Jeb! and Cheerful Charlie.

I like Dr. Khavari. I met him recently at an ECDEC function at Washington High. He&#039;s smart and on point... but he&#039;s dead on arrival as a gubernatorial candidate.</description>

		<description>And your point is? :) I know. It&#039;s always about issues with me, not labels. That&#039;s why I support his efforts and will change my party affiliation to vote in the Democratic primary if that&#039;s what it takes to help him get on the ballot. Neither Sink nor McCollum have a plan. IMHO, they both represent more of the same.

The State chair of the Democratic Party, Karen Thurman, has anointed Alex Sink as the candidate.  That&#039;s why, in this state, the Democratic Party isn&#039;t democratic. And the State Republican party is just as bad in its efforts to screw Rubio, and the media doesn&#039;t seem to care. No surprise there.

Khavari is not your average Democrat. He&#039;s more than that. He&#039;s a guy with a real plan that will work. And his plan doesn&#039;t center around federal control over absolutely everything or increasing the debt. It&#039;s more about what he calls general capitalism and, get this, individual economic freedom. He knows what it is like to have neither. He lived it in Iran, where he was born.

Check out his book &#039;Towards A Zero-Cost Economy.&#039; It explains it all. And, you can download it free.

He understands economics, because he is an economist, not a politician. If you ask him, he&#039;ll tell you that he is an American first. Sooooo refreshing, coming from a Democrat huh? This guy is real, not an empty suit. Not out to con you into believing that he is something other than what he really is.

btw, you can come into my shop and pick up some Khavari for Governor bumper stickers and info cards. I know. A conservative supporting a democrat. It&#039;s a new political world. Labels aside, he&#039;s the man with a plan.</description>
