MICA'S WORLD --- CONGRESSMAN JOHN LUIGI MICA has $745,564 in cash for 2010 re-election campaign

That's a lotta dough. He'll be taking some more of those "meals with constituents" to pay for his eating and drinking high on the hog in Washington, D.C. and Orlando, taking money from the likes of Big Oil and arms merchants. Here's the FEC's report:

In JOHN MICA's world, you get to spend a lot of "party time" at fancy restaurants, exclusive clubs and casinos all over this land. Campaign contributors pay for it in the guise of "meals with constituents." See stories and itemized lists below.

Has JOHN MICA ever taken you to lunch at the Monocle or Capital Hill Club? Unless you're a Republican, a lobbyist or a Republican bagman, probably not.

In JOHN MICA's world, the world is your oysters and Big Oil and other contributors pay for your Crab Louis, your Oysters Rockefeller, and your Prime Rib. See below.

In JOHN MICA's world, troops in Iraq and Afghanistan don't get proper body armor, wounded soldiers don't get adequate health care, but being more equal than others, JOHN MICA gets the best of everything, paid for with campaign cash.

In JOHN MICA's world, George W. Bush is the Supreme Leader, the National Security State rules our lives, privacy does not exist, poor people are to be mocked.

In JOHN MICA's world, the minimum wage laws and Family Medical Leave Act would not exist, veterans would not receive adequate benefits, and there would be no stem cell research.

In JOHN MICA's world, everything wrong is Bill Clinton's fault, nothing is the Republican's fault.

In JOHN MICA's world, up is down, down is up, family welfare recipients are "alligators" but corporate welfare recipients get earmarks, veterans and the middle class count for nothing and corporate lobbyists are the bosses.

In JOHN MICA's world, Bill Clinton is "a little booger," with the House finding MICA out of order for his nasty remarks in the 1990s.

In JOHN MICA's world, lobbyists are regularly paying for his Travel and Entertainment (T&E) through campaign contributions.

In JOHN MICA's mind, he's a very important personage. So important, in fact, he flew to Tibet (he claims) to sell airplanes to Communist China.

So important, JOHN MICA feels free to head-bump an ABC News cameraman coming out of a Tom DeLay party or not to return contributions from the likes of DELAY, ARBRAMOFF and JIM NEY.

See the list of JOHN MICA 2007-2008 individual and PAC contributions and his campaign expenditures below (October 14, 2008) -- it's enough to gag a maggot. When the contributors read about MICA's antics, they will been gagging too.

While MICA may have good taste in restaurants, bars and casinos, JOHN MICA's got no taste in how he votes in Congress or who he hangs out with -- John Mica is an embarrassment to us all. I'm voting for Faye Armitage for Congress -- an economist and mother of five with the sense to speak for the people, not the rich and Big Oil companies.

What do you reckon?

It's long past time to retire this national international embarrassment, this uncouth babboon, the eighth wonder of the world, the Congressman from Florida's gerrymandered Seventh Congressional District.
