Evidence that McCollum is a RINO are as convincing as evidence that Obama is a centrist. No one with any political historical experience believe either of these claims.

McCollum believes state spending cannot be reduced and spoke out against the Arizona immigration law, calling it “Far out.”

He also lacks executive experience.

As for Ahnold, Jesse, and the ‘Lil General I didn’t vote them either.

‘He also lacks executive experience.’

For four years he has been the elected head of the office of the Attorney General, which is an executive position, although not the governor. Scott has had no public office at all.

McCollum never opposed the current Arizona immigration law, and is assisting its defense in Court. He is also the national leader of the states fighting Obamacare in the courts. If he said that no state government spending can ever be reduced by any amount anywhere at any time I’d be surprised to hear it and would need a link.

Wrong. I listened to an audio clip.

Go find your own links.

McCollum is also squishy re the 2nd Amendment.

If you wish to waste your time in a vain attempt to convince me to vote McC in the primary, well, it is your time to waste.

You should check things out a bit more, he was referring to the first version of the law before Arizona fixed it. After Arizona fixed it, he supported it. The version he opposed is now not being supported by Arizona.

So, McCollum has absolutely nothing to lose. You can bet “Suntan” won’t be calling any special sessions. “Brady Bill” can call for any law he wants. Then he can have a change of heart once he gets in there. Amazing the way these RINOs just skate away.

Calling McCollum a RINO is a misuse of the term. Especially when his opponent commits felonies.

“First version . . . “

Not buying. Try to sell it elsewhere.

If you do not know the history of the Arizona Immigration Law, including Governor Brewer and the legislature changing the law after it was first challenged, you are too ignorant of the facts to discuss it with you.

I actually voted for McCollum when he first ran. He was good back then. As the years progressed, he became squishier, a progressive, and unreliable conservative vote. His vote for the “Brady Bill” and gun control was one I remember well because of the nickname. I don’t remember all the other individual things he did to garner my ire, but I do remember saying I will never vote for him again for anything.

As I remember the slimy things he’s done, I will let people know. But RINO he is. All the people in the world could not convince me to vote to Suntan Charlie when he first ran for governor. They all said you have to vote for him because he’s the only one who can win. Now, they are all guilty parties to that train wreck. Just like back then, I’m warning anyone who will listen that Brady Bill McCollum is a RINO because he is. You can vote for him if you like. But when he turns, as all RINOs do, don’t be surprised with what happens.

I know what RINOs do, exhibit one — Suntan Charlie. I don’t vote for them.

It is McCollum, a felon, or a democrat. Easy choice for me.

Ah yes, calling one ignorant is typically the last refuge at FR.

They are all invisible. It is because they are short on servers, same reason we don’t get thread view counts.

POINTING OUT ignorance is not the same as using the term as an insult. Pointing out someone’s lack of knowledge is a form of assistance to the other poster, showing where they need work on their education.

Pointing out that you are a Floridian, but that your flag, because of a FR bug, is no more visible than anyone else’s is supposed to be an insult? Your sensibilities may be too great for this place.

By the way, I did not point out your ignorance until after you implied I was a liar (go sell it somewhere else). Ignorance is not a character flaw, lying is, so who started the insults here.
