Every Friday here at The Florida Independent, we pick out the best comments we received during the previous week, whether they came from commenters here on our site, or via Facebook and Twitter. Want to be included next week? Assail us with your rapier wit!

In response to “Chiles’ previous work for controversial church comes to light”:

hope there will be more investigating and reporting on this group and CHILES ROLE/ AWARENESS. As this report, w/o confirmation, stands, ruinous for Chiles. We need to be careful and have full story before destroying someone —Mckniffj

In response to “Sen. Merkley: Federal immigration ‘reform isn’t going to happen this year’”:

Really? Republicans didn’t respond to getting something they wanted by becoming more cooperative about fixing the rest of the problem? What a shock. —webcelt

In response to “Rick Scott looks for running mate”:

AKA The Search For Smithers. —ranggrol

I wonder if Snape is available. —Joe Clark

In response to “At Orlando ‘unity’ event, Scott embraces state GOP machine he previously scorned”:

GOP votes and support for sale. I wish I were surprised. —Anonymous

In response to “Amendments 3, 7 and 9 off Florida’s November ballots, redistricting amendments still on”:

Thank God, but will they be able to follow up in subsequent years with bills that correct whatever caused them to be thrown off the ballot this year? —Rick Harman
