Reply #115: I Live Here & As One Who Actually Campaigned Against Crist For Governor,

[ChiciB1]

I have to say he's been much more moderate than I expected. In fact there were times I couldn't believe some of his decisions. I wonder how many know the dynamics of what happened with Jebby/Crist. Crist may "seem" to be a right winger to many here, and I once thought he truly was, but in reality he's made some pretty progressive decisions. I also think that he would have won as Governor if he could run again.

There are "other" factors under the radar that some may be missing too. I have hinted at this fact several times, but many may not know it yet. I think LGBT's might support Crist given his gender preference. He has stood up for gay couple adoption, he's against off shore drilling, he is now pro-choice and not a rabid ANTI-CHOICE Tea Bagger candidate. Did he change his mind on issues, for sure, but does that REALLY mean he's only an opportunist? A person has to make up their own mind. I DO believe that Jebby had a HUGE hand in pushing Crist out. He KNOWS Rubio is beholden to him and Jebby WILL expect his due when the time comes. He IS a BUSHIE after all, and don't we KNOW about how low they stoop already?? Crist went against Jebby one too many times and thus we have a Tea-Bagger looking down his rifle barrel at us! Crist has also appointed some fairly moderate judges which made Jebby mad too. He also has been better regarding education than Jebby ever was, this also made Jebby mad! There is more, but I can't recall all of it right now.

On the other hand, Meek came with some baggage too, and for those who think he's anything close to a liberal type or even very progressive, many of us here in Florida would beg to differ. As a person I like Meek, but I have NEVER felt he was the best person to run against the REPUKE MACHINE!

So, the likes of Crist stood up to THAT machine, which took a lot and that he has stayed in 2nd place throughout says a lot. I also don't think Crist can say he would or would not caucus with the Democrats, but I think he's feels more comfortable now as an Independent. Frankly it suits him better given WHO HE IS. I do think he still has his Repuke contingent who will vote for him, but he also has a large Democrats for Crist following too. I didn't join up with them, nor when they called did I say WHO I would vote for, but at least THEY called, quite a few times. Meek's campaign NEVER even sent out a flyer, let alone a phone call.

C'mon down, join the fun... we're just having one blast after the other, after all IT'S FLORIDA!! I DO understand why many don't get it, because I never would have thought I would be a cross-over vote, but I AM just THAT afraid of Jebby/Rubio and what it means in the future. Not only to THIS state, but to the Nation. Don't bet your last dollar on the fact that Jebby doesn't want to run for POTUS! He's says no, but he IS the real snake! His ego is too big NOT TO! And I would bet that he feels he can take on Sarah Palin ANY DAY OF THE WEEK. He has RUBIO, a Tea-Bagger in his pocket.

So, these are just some musing from a person that some say is a traitor. I did take a long long time to make up my mind, but Meek has been Weak from the get go.

JMHO!
