I’m not a bit happy with Scott. His only saving grace is the large amount of jobs opening up in FL. But his non-stance on illegals and blatant cronyism bothers me to no end. I haven’t yet decided if he’s worth keeping around.
However, anyone who tells me that if I don’t vote for him, I am getting Orange Crist elected can go urinate up a rope. Strategic voting is how we keep getting saddled with so-called “electable” jackwagons that stab conservatives in the back. I no longer vote against anyone. My vote needs to be earned, and not being “the other guy” doesn’t work with me.
Really? You can stay home in November but after almost losing our business, I'm thankful for what Scott has done to help us keep it. Our employees are thankful, too. Additionally, Florida's economy is doing better than most of the Country. Florida Economy UCF Unlike you, I see no reason to punish Scott for that. On the other hand, I'd rather work with Scott on the issues I disagree with than have Charlie who I know won't do anything in our best interest.
Isn't your strategy what got us Obama? Do you think by staying home you're really sending a message to the GOPe?
I think your emotional response is understandable, but not well advised.
William Buckley, I think, made a reasonable case for voting for the “most conservative of the electable candidate”, or something like that.
I look at these guys, usually, on a straight line, and put them on “points” on that line.
During a primary, I vote for the person I consider furthest right from the center of the line.
I do the same in a general election.
I know this makes us susceptible to not voting for the perfect candidate.
