Republican congressman John Mica’s questionable ties and working relationship with the Obama Administration and other notable liberal members of Congress could pose a big problem with Floridians just weeks out from the August primary election. Mica is locked in a tough race against conservative grassroots favorite Congresswoman Sandy Adams.

Mica has all but lost grassroots support as President Obama’s recently signed Congressman Mica’s “boondoggle” of a transportation bill that he authored with Democrat Senator Barbara Boxer, the longtime liberal congresswoman whom he refers to as his “soul mate.”
“I went to Beckley, West Va. — that’s where we held the first hearing. We went across the country. We did a bipartisan, bicameral hearing in Los Angeles with my soul mate, Barbara Boxer. I’ll do anything to pass this bill.” -Rep. John Mica (R-FL) (The Hill)
Could Mica’s porkish ways spell doom for his chances in August?
The Politico wrote a fairly detailed synopsis of the bill and pointed out the possibility that American jobs could actually be lost because of the legislation-
A decades-old law has ensured American-flag ships carry most of the food aid sent abroad. But a little-noticed provision in last month’s transportation bill eases that policy. It’s meant to save the government money but could come at a steep cost to America’s maritime workers — up to 2,000 jobs.-Politico
