West Boca News Endorses Adrian Wyllie for Governor
After months of negative commercials and now the Fangate debacle, we are fed up with both Rick Scott and Charlie Crist. Rolling Stone Magazine shows both are even worse than the negatives ads suggest.
The best choice is Adrian Wyllie, the Libertarian Party candidate. We agree with Wyllie on most issues, and appreciate that he gives straight answers to questions. That is a huge difference from Scott and Crist.
The harsh truth about the major parties is that the insiders do not care one bit about policy. All they care about is raising money from donors and winning elections so they can give taxpayer money – our money – to their friends and allies.
Some will tell you not to “waste your vote” on a third-party candidate. Scott and Crist are the true wasted votes. There’s no real difference between the two of them.
And unlike many third-party candidates, Wyllie is making a serious dent. Polls have him getting as high as 10% of the vote, and the campaign points to polls with higher numbers. Of course winning is a long shot but voting for someone who tells the truth and stands for principles sends a message that matters more than choosing which liar will take office.
We should at least mention the other choices. Glenn Burkett is on the ballot but we can’t find any evidence he’s campaigning. We don’t even see a website or Facebook page.
Farid Khavari has a website and a Facebook page, but he has failed to gain any traction. His Facebook page has only 618 Likes though he does a little better on Twitter. We appreciate his support for ending marijuana prohibition and his interesting personal history, but his plan for a state-owned SuperBank is both unrealistic and disturbing. Despite that he’d still be a better choice than Scott or Crist.
