crist still claims to be conservative

[SwampG8r]

his own words folks
"common sense conservative" he calls himself
when you push crist you push conservative causes
dont buy into the "lesser of 2 evils" sham
they are both evil dont help evil by choosing one as less palatable
dont buy into the "meek cant win" story
they said that about obama too and they were wrong
dont buy into the "greene used to be a republican so who does he really back?"lying point
if that is true then reagan must have died a democrat
do not be lied and confused into supporting one of the two conservatives the GOP has in this race
if the hope of the florida democrats is that a republican can save us then we are surely and deeply fucked

1. If Crist gets support from less conservative backers, I'm sure he'll become less

conservative. I think his vote is pretty much for sale. Just my feeling.

[MineralMan]

6. I'm sure you're very mistaken. If he, by some chance,

gets elected, he'll be on the Republican side on every important issue. He's just posing right now in his smarmy attempt to get votes. He is a Repug. He will always be one. Don't be deceived.

[marmar]

10. Exactly.....

nt

[The Backlash Cometh]

18. He's going to do what he has to do to get elected.

After that, I wouldn't place any bets on anything.

[w4rma]

2. He doesn't appear to be a neo-conservative. (nt)

[no_hypocrisy]

3. And he isn't a Teabagger.

[MineralMan]

8. No, he isn't. But he's still a Republican. Notice that he didn't become

a Democrat. He became an "Independent." Now, who else do we know who did that and is now obstructing things when it suits his ambition? Can you think of anyone like that?

[MineralMan]

4. Of course he is. He's a Republican.

He's just pretending to be an Independent to get gullible Democrats to vote for his Republican ass.

Anyone who thinks Crist has changed his spots is engaging in a little self-deception. He's a Repug, through and through, and doesn't deserve a single Democratic vote.

I know I'm talking to the wind on this, but that's the actual fact.

[SwampG8r]

5. and very willing self deception at that

[MineralMan]

7. I guess so. It surprises the heck out of me to see so many

people eating up his subterfuge. It's so damned transparent. Gullible people abound.

9. Yes, he's the lesser of two evils. No, Meek can't win.

I live in Florida. If I had to choose, it would be Crist over Rubio, hands down. No question. If you think there'd be no difference, I suggest you watch footage of Rubio again.

While it would be wonderful for Meek to emerge victorious, he isn't going to. The man practically has no campaign. I live in a major city, and I can't recall seeing an ad for him on television. Not one. Similar absence of signs. His name is not in the public mind outside of occasional mentions on the news (usually to note how far behind he is), and without awareness, you will not get the votes.

[RockaFowler]

11. Why can't Meek win??

Last I checked no-one voted yet. Oh and Meek is starting to air spots soon.

[MineralMan]

12. Did you ever think about him not winning because Democrats

aren't supporting him properly? Instead, you're supporting a Republican who is posing as an Independent, just to defeat a teabagger. Had you supported Meek, instead, and got others to join you, the situation might be very different. This is disgusting. Crist is a Republican, through and through.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

14. The thing is, there's risk involved. A certain number of Democrats switching from Crist to Meeks...

...might mean a Rubio win. Electing to go for Crist is completely understandable.

Of course, if the electoral system there was sensible (i.e. with a runoff) that wouldn't be a problem.

[MineralMan]

15. So, they're going to elect a Republican? That's good how?

I'm sorry, but Crist is a Republican, and will always be a Republican. He'll vote against progress every time on every important issue. What good is that? Evil is evil, whether it's from the far right or just the run-of-the-mill obstructionists.

If Crist is elected, it will be exactly the same as if Rubio is elected. Both would vote the same way on every important issue. I see no difference when it comes to the Senate and the issues before it.

Crist won't disappoint the Republican party, but he'll sure as hell disappoint Democrats.

A Wolf in German Shepherd's clothing. That's all he is.

13. I wouldn't be concerned about ad time at this point

So far the only ads playing in my state are McCain ads. I saw some Buzz Mills (who was a Republican running for Governor but dropped out because he said the focus was all on immigration and not on jobs or the economy) earlier this summer. Other than that--nobody. I do expect that to pick back up like last election where I was ads for Democrats in Congressional districts that I live hundreds of miles away from.

Though that is if Meek or whoever the nominee is, is actually backed by the state Democratic party.

[MineralMan]

16. I can vote for a wishy-washy Democrat. I know that he or she

will vote our way on most important issues. I cannot vote for a Republican as the lesser-of-two-evils, though, because I know he or she will vote against us on every important issue. Crist is a Republican. He is not a Democrat. He is not even an Independent. He is an opportunist, and is trying to get enough Democratic votes to win. If he does, he will vote with the Republican obstructionists every time it matters.

I would rather lose by voting for a Democrat, that win by voting for a Republican in Independent's clothing. That is not pragmatism. That is voting Republican, and is a very different thing.

[The Backlash Cometh]

19. He just started to campaign as of today in Central Florida.

17. This guy reminds me of silly putty.

You can chew it like bubble gum, bounce it off a wall, or it can pick up the picture from a comic book. It's everything you want it to be!

20. And John Dean still claims to be a GOLDWATER conservative...
