CHARLIE CRIST, UNFIT FOR THE JOB




I've seen a recent poll that, depending on which Democrat wins that party's nomination, shows our buddy Charlie with a slim lead over Rubio in what is going to be our three man race for the Senate seat here in Florida. I think many of us, if we are not already very well aware of the fact that Charlie should not be the man whom we should be selecting as representing us in a Senate, we should be. Charlie is just one more example of what we already have far too many of in Washington. That being individuals who continue to demonstrate a willingness to habitually throw the American people under the proverbial bus all in the name of "progress". He is not someone whom we can rely upon to, when given the choice, do the right thing. He consistently demonstrates the very obvious fact that he simply cannot be trusted. It is clearly a very obvious fact that he has no true core values, principles or beliefs. His actions are determined by whatever he sees as being the most advantageous for himself at any particular time. He is nothing but a turncoat of the highest order, always on the lookout for what's best for Charlie. And evidently he is someone who apparently has gained the support of a good many Democrats who see him as a viable option. Let's face it, Charlie is good at only one thing, and that is the putting of his own political ambition very high on his list of priorities, well above the needs of the people that he would be representing. We'd be sending just one more narcissist to a place already infested with far too many. During his tenure as governor, he's done conservatives no real favors here. Plus, he endorsed fellow RINO, John "The Maverick" McCain, has very warmly embraced Barry "Almighty", both figuratively and literally, and enthusiastically supported Barry's much ballyhooed, yet extremely bogus, "stimulus" plan which has proven itself to be nothing but a complete flop. I think Charlie was banking on being able to take some credit if the economy recovered whereby that recovery could then, by some miracle, be tied to that very same bogus "stimulus" legislation, but it just hasn't quite worked out that way. But then as we all know, the intent behind the so-called "stimulus" bill really never was to try to give a boost to our failing economy, it was all nothing more than an $800 billion payoff/slush fund created for Barry's supporters. It was a piece of legislation which even a blind man could have seen had nothing whatsoever to do with salvaging a faltering economy. And if Charlie couldn't see, or worse, was unwilling to see it as such, how can we possibly trust him to not support any such additional measures should they be brought up for a vote in the future. We can't, it's just that simple folks!


Look, it should be painfully obvious to just about anybody with a brain that Crist comes nowhere near to representing the direction in which we need to be headed, either as a state or as a nation. He represents all that is wrong with Washington, possessing the wrong perception of what the role of government should be. A perception that is not all that dissimilar from the one possessed by Barry "Almighty". He is no more conservative than are clowns like Lindsey Graham, his buddy McCain or either of the girls from Maine. He comes nowhere near to what is now seen as being so desperately needed in Congress at what is clearly a very critical time for our country. Maybe if our country was not hanging by a very thin thread and we did not have a raving socialist sitting in the Oval Office, it wouldn't be so critical, and we could afford to send someone like Crist to the Senate because there wouldn't be all that much damage that he could actually do once he got there. But not in today's political environment, no freakin way. Sending Crist to the Senate is just not worth the risk, not by any stretch of the imagination. Conservatives are going to need to come together and get behind Rubio, and focus like a laser on keeping Crist as far away as possible from any position where he could do any sort of damage. We need no more politicians who are interested solely in the furthering of their own political careers at the expense of the people whom they were sent to Washington to represent. The primary objective of anyone we choose to send to Congress must be their determination to work to bring about some fiscal restraint in Congress and to halt any further weakening of America. And they must also be willing to abide by the will of the people who sent them there. Crist, I firmly believe, would very quickly forget all about the people once he set about wandering those hallowed halls of Congress. I can see him now, walking the halls, chest puffed out, thinking now he is really somebody and looking for ways to profit from his new position using any means at his disposal. And should that require ignoring the wishes of the folks back home, so be it. After all, what do we really know anyway? Come on folks, things are getting really serious here, and the electing of Charlie to the Senate is going to accomplish absolutely nothing in our attempt to put the brakes on our increasingly rapid slide to the left. If we are to have any hope of recovering from our current economic predicament, we are going to need to start the recovery process by turning into the skid. The surest way to do that would be to vote in Rubio.


Crist can make the claim until the cows come home that his only objective for seeking a seat in the Senate is so that he can be a conservative voice for Floridians, but in all reality his aspirations have very little if anything to do with his desire to represent the people of Florida. Charlie continues to be his own biggest fan. Perhaps the most telling thing about Charlie is the fact that if it truly is the best interest of the people of Florida that is on his mind, once he saw that he could not win the Republican nomination, he would have done the honorable thing and thrown his support behind Rubio. Taking such action would have virtually guaranteed that the Senate seat would remain firmly in the Republican column. But no, because of his rather twisted delusions of grandeur, he just couldn't quite bring himself to do it. He is nothing short of being a traitor to the cause, the conservative cause. He has revealed himself to be just one more self-serving hypocrite looking for ways to increase his own personal stature. Crist is pathetic liar, who stated on any number of occasions when the polls initially began showing that he was going to have his butt handed to him by Rubio that he had no intention of leaving the Republican Party. He was asked point blank if he was going to make the switch to Independent and he said NO, he fully intended to run as a Republican. It's very obvious that he wants this job so bad he can taste it and will do or say whatever he sees as being necessary to get it. Therefore, he is not the caliber of individual that the people of Florida, regardless of party affiliation, should be voting for. And at the end of the day, should Crist actually win this race, I doubt there will be very little difference between his voting record and that of our stellar Democrat Senator, Bill "Spineless" Nelson. Nelson is just another Democrat hack who has the people of Florida so far down on his list of priorities as to have them being nearly nonexistent. He's nothing short of a fraud who continues to vote in lockstep with "Dingy" Harry Reed, ignoring completely those who voted for him. We must not allow ourselves to be convinced into sending yet another Barry disciple to Congress. We can do much better than electing Charlie Crist. We must do better!
