Why not talk about Florida-style aristocratic politics? GOP talks about Chicago-style politics.
The hushed whispers of GOPers always includes the slam against Obama that he engages in Chicago-style politics. But no one ever mentions the Florida-style aristocratic politics in which Brother Jeb Bush stole the 2000 presidential election for George W. Bush. During the 2000 stolen election, the election came down to Florida, the state that just happened to be governed by the candidate's brother. The theft of the 2000 election left America so vulnerable that we were attacked within the year. The impostor president even lied us into war and when he finally left office, our country was entering into a depression. That's your Florida-style aristocratic politics that the GOP fails to mention.

2. Mayor Daley created that meme with his heavy handed style...
Imprinted the national psyche. I don't think that most people pay any attention to the machinations of the FL and TX politicians unless they live in those states or are political junkies.
