Its Official, Crist Is A Liar
by Big Dog on Apr 29, 2010 at 05:05 Political
Three weeks ago in a Fox News interview, Charlie Crist of Florida was asked five times if he was going to run as an Independent in the Senate race. Five times Charlie Crist answered “No”. He looked into the camera and said that he was running as a Republican and that he would run as one in the Senate primary.
Today Crist is expected to announce that he will run as an Independent in the Senate race. There is a good chance that he will win because the Democrat is a weak candidate and the voters in that party might decide the only way to get someone who thinks the way they do into the Senate is to vote for Crist.
This departure, especially after five consecutive denials, should cause any Republicans who were considering voting for Crist to reevaluate their positions. He cannot be trusted. How can anyone listen to anything he says or promises and believe that he is telling them the truth?
It is time for conservatives and Republicans in Florida to move over to Marco Rubio, the only real conservative in the race, and leave Crist behind. I would also think that it would be only fair for those who donated to Crist to ask for their money back. He took it when he was running as a Republican and today he will leave the party.
A piece of advice to Mr. Rubio. Get the footage of the interview Crist gave where he said that he would not run as an Independent and make a campaign ad out of it.
Washington DC needs people who are concerned about the country and will work to make it a better place. America does not need self serving people who think only of themselves.
We have enough of them in DC already.

I think everyone was pretty much certain that Crist was just a political whore, even before he demonstrated the talent he has for (at least) talking out of both sides of his mouth- he always struck me as a squirelly type- someone you keep an eye on while you back out the door with your hand on your wallet.
Dog- it sounds like Rubio isn’t down with the Arizona check the shoes law. Isn’t this question one of the tea [party people] litmus test? Methinks Rubio isn’t enough of a hater for you and your ilk.
What to do now? You’ve got a black guy vs someone most of your bretheren suspect is gay vs this newbie Rubio squirming out of a stance on the piece of legislation most near and dear to tea [party people] hearts. What a mess!
PEACE

Seems to me Rubio’s response was reasonable.
ILLEGAL immigration is a concern but is only part of the package. We want conservatives which means on all the issues. We see what liberal/progressive gets us and we see that liberal light (RINO) is a way to lose.
This is why it is time for McCain to be replaced. He was all for amnesty until he got a serious challenger.
Nah, Rubes is a fraud. He’s not a real tea [party member]. He doesn’t hate Mexicans. No place for him in the tea party.

Bunny, I do not allow the word you are using on this site. If you feel the need to use a disparaging word then use Anderson Cooper and we will know what you mean.
No one I know hates Mexicans. We are against ILLEGAL immigration regardless of where they come from.
This is the problem in the debate, you are not bright enough to know the difference and can only insult and use caricatures that are far from reality.
What part of ILLEGAL are you having trouble with?
Dog- were you in favor of sending that illegal immigrant Elian Gonzales “back to where he came from”? Just curious.
PEACE
Gonzales came here under the US law involving refugees and asylum seekers. His mother died on the way but he made it and was in the custody of relatives. A judge decided that his father was the only one who could petition for asylum. In a country where a 12 year old girl does not have to get parental permission for an abortion a judge decided that his mother dying to get him here was not enough to show they wanted asylum.
In any event, the courts decided he had to go. That is good enough for me but I do not like how it was handled with the Gestapo and their guns to get a little kid.
I am not in favor of the wet foot dry foot rule but if that is what we have then that is what we should go by. If they said he could stay that would be OK as well (and that is probably the decision they should have made).
Illegal immigrant from Mexico- bad. Illegal immigrant from Cuba- good. Got it.
PEACE
Once again, you have trouble comprehending and you say things that have not been said. The policy is if they come from Cuba and have one foot on dry land they can seek asylum because of the tyranny in Cuba. I said I did not liek the policy but that it was the law.
You show me a tyranny in Mexico and Mexicans comin across the border asking for asylum and we can discuss it. Otherwise, you are way off base and pulling stuff out of your other end.
If you are seeking asylum you are not illegal unless you are Obama’s aunt who had her request denied and just stayed here. Since she was discovered she has reapplied. Wanna bet with Barry in the WH it will be granted this time.
ILLEGAL Obama aunt = good eh?
Nah, you’d just rather seperate the poor boy from his only living parent because the father happens to live in Cuba. So much for family values. You’d rather break up a family than admit that Mr. Gonzales might be a good father. Simply because he is a Castro follower. Never let breaking up a family get in the way of making them commies look bad, Dog. Good work.
PEACE
