[...] Now that Porkulus has been an obvious flop, Crist suddenly looks a lot more like an opportunist than a pragmatist. Rather than just admit that he was wrong about the stimulus package, Crist gave Floridians little credit for either memory or intelligence by claiming that he’d never endorsed it at all. The Rubio campaign wasted little time in showing that Crist was lying through his teeth: [...]

Crist apparently wants to ask Floridians what they believe more: him or their lying eyes.

crist has been doing this his entire career and getting away with it because the republican machine backs him. Now tey have dug up another rino, ex maine senator bob smith, to runin the primary also. They are touting smith as a conservative, which he is not, in order to ciphon votes away from rubio. Don’t be surprised to see the republican party pull this tactic again and again if it works. We need national support down here in Florida or the republicans will force crist on us again. I have never voted for crist for state wide office because I saw from the start that he was a duplicitous little creep. I may vote democrat for the first time in my life if they nominate him. I don’t fall for this “a liberal republican is better then a democrat bs. The liberal republican tactic is more insidious and dishonest, the political elite are moving in the same direction with these guys. I think it is more dangerous because the policies will look bi-partisan and not raisethe ire of the American people.

I live in Florida. Rubio is the real deal…. genuine conservative beliefs…. doesn’t even need a teleprompter to help him tell you what he thinks…

I like new names for things too so lets turn “Don’t do me no fava” to mean don’t screw me or stab me in the back. Or how about “Kiss my obama”? Or stand back, I don’t know how big this pelosi is going to get! Another one is “I stepped in a pile of dog reid”. And putting them all together, Chuck Schumer used an axelrod to pry a pile of reid out of obams’s pelosi before kissing it. Can you think of some more?

Hence, another reason why I gave Rubio 50 bucks yesterday. Support the candidate, not the party, until the party supports your candidate – not Scozzy the Bear.

That was an awesomely devastating piece of magic right htere. I especially love how the “yes we can” chant is flipped to be a slogan for Rubio at the end. The Marco Rubio campaign impresses me every day.

When he says “I didn’t endorse it…I didn’t even have a vote on the darned thing” he means he had no…vote on it!

JetBoy on November 5, 2009 at 1:34 PM

I can’t defend ya here, buddy. He definitely endorsed zer0bama’s stimulus.

It depends on what the definition of “endorse” is.

What if Governor Crist just looked at the calendar and learned that he will have a better time getting relected Governor IF he spends his remaining time in office sucking up to the VAST RIGHT WING of the GOP?

He looks like a shark to me. He’s sounds like a career politician. Ask yourself what would be the easiest self serving move he could make.

Me thinks Governor Crist wants his number one headache, a certain cuban named Marco, out of his state and out of his life.

Watch for Crist to fumble something and get too busy to campaign effectively while forgetting to watch Rubio very much at all.

Yes…the stimulus was bad idea from the get-go. But Crist saw some good that could at least be done with it. It was offered, and he took it.

I’d love to hear from the naysayers tho on what Florida might be like had he refused every penny.

JetBoy on November 5, 2009 at 1:25 PM

OK, did the stimulus actually help? No, it added to our debt, it prolonged economic recovery and everything Obama warned would happen, happened anyway but worse.

Spending money does not save money. Jobs don’t come from government. I wish they made children sing this in school. Unfortunately, this generation will have to grow up saddled with debt, with few opportunities, beholden to the state. Maybe they will be lucky enough to understand why that is.

Maybe Crist can jog Marco’s memory about his complete lack of leadership on budget issues while speaker.

That could stick. In fact, Scozzafava or perhaps just “Dede” or “Scozz” may replace Benedict Arnold as a synonym for traitor if we work at it – a particular breed of RINO closely related to the Frum.

“putting a Band-Aid on an amputated limb.”
I thought that is what we end up with on ObamaCare.

Random Numbers (Brian Epps) on November 5, 2009 at 1:52 PM
No, with ObamaCare you have a six-month waiting list to see the doctor who perscribes the band-aid.

highhopes on November 5, 2009

But the new tax on “medical devices” will make bandaids scarce. Best to start hoarding those and tampons now.

No, Jetboy has a point, lots of jobs were saved.

President Barack Obama’s economic recovery program saved 935 jobs at the Southwest Georgia Community Action Council, an impressive success story for the stimulus plan. Trouble is, only 508 people work there.

And, as we can see; we can entirely trust these numbers. Many of those jobs were saved at least twice, maybe more than that.

If you need your job “saved” on this regular a basis… maybe you should look for different employment opportunities?

Let me guess Jetboy, you’re going to *sigh* again rather than admit that the numbers reported were considerably more “created” than jobs themselves?

gekkobear on November 5, 2009 at 1:30 PM

I live in Southwest Georgia and the SWGCAC is just a bunch of government jobs anyway. Obama didn’t save anything. Moron doesn’t understand that the private sector is paying for this crap and the private sector is dying. Mr. Obama, a dead mule cannot plow.

So when he asked Florida Reps to vote in support of the stimulus, that wasn’t an endorsement?
When he said it needs to have bipartisan support?
Come on JetBoy. The only thing he can do to fix this is to try and walk it back. And I can’t imagine that he and his shadow (ego) would ever do that……
