Slots amendment to be repealed?

It is somewhat amusing that some of the very same South Florida Democrats who are bemoaning the Legislature's inaction on the slots issue are the very same people who conspired with the Governor to insure that the voter mandated High Speed Rail was never funded and eventually repealed. These same leaders are now indignant about the possibility that the Legislature will initiate a repeal of the referendum which sought to bring Las Vegas style gambling to Florida. It smacks of blatant hypocrisy. Why Democrats cannot be consistent on issues of vital importance to the state is a bi-product of the party's lack of vision and unwillingness to adopt a platform or statement of principles. The party and many of its elected officials tend to meander from issue to issue and unfortunately often times are overcome by circumstances. It is imperative that the Democrats determine once and for all, do they support the right for the people to vote on popular referendums and constitutional amendments as they did with Gambling or do they oppose them as they did with the bullet train? (which had it been built could have reduced Florida's energy woes and reduced Floridians dependence on automobiles and high gas prices) Hopefully the new leadership of the Democratic Party will understand the need to be consistent and vocal on issues of importance to Floridians and move the ball, forward for all of us.
