see post 15 re: debate dates (there are two)

I put them on my calendar, thanks...

He also supports the conservative points on social issues

Crist would have voted for stem cell bill

That is not conservative.

I'm doing some research on campaign contributors. I wonder what it is about Crist that has Mel Sembler making big time contributions.

The limit is supposed to be $500.00 but there are contributions being made by the same persons and they are using their different business names so it doesn't look like they are giving more than the max $$ allowed.

Derek Newton is the left winger who helped Michael Schiavo write his book and Newton's web site is rumor mongering about Tom Gallagher. Seems to me that Derek Newton has no reason to spread rumors about Gallagher unless they are pulling for Charlie Crist.

PAC and also this web site is spreading rumors about Tom Gallagher's campaign. Me thinks that Charlie Crist has hooked up with Michael Schiavo via Derek Newton, well known liberal.

Google: Derek Newton. He's liberal, liberal, liberal.

The left wingers want Crist to win because he delivered big time for the culture of death. This was quite a find.

When I'm in a googling mood again, I can google praises from the ACLU to Crist and also from The Atheists of Florida.

Crist faked Florida conservatives out big time.

Let the voter beware.

Crist is creepy.

[floriduh voter]

Crist looks like Homer Simpson's boss at the nuclear plant. Mr. Dithers.

I found somebody to research who is very close to Crist. This is very creepy stuff.

"Indications Crist May Chose Haridopolos as Running Mate Charlie Crist's choice of Senator Mike Haridopolos to speak on his behalf at a Tallahassee candidate forum Friday afternoon is fueling speculation that Haridopolos is among the frontrunners -- or perhaps the frontrunner -- for the position of Lieutenant Governor if Crist should become the Republican nominee for Governor. It is well known that Crist is personally very partial to Haridopolos, and Haridopolos was among the first to announce his support of Crist and is currently serving as his honorary campaign chair in Brevard. Haridopolos' recent successful appearance on behalf of Crist demonstrates what has long been whispered -- that he is on Crist's short list for Lieutenant Governor."

Welcome to Greece f/k/a Florida? Remember George Felos is Greek too. Felos orchestrated Terri Schiavo's murder. Crist and Felos are both from Pinellas County. They knew each other. Birds of a feather.

[Dante3]

This is frightening.

[floriduh voter]

AHEPA is the Greek Cypriot fraternal organization and their members held a fundraiser for Crist (he is Greek). Felos is Greek as you know. The name "felos" means something like "one who kills".

I haven't researched AHEPA's position on right to die but I bet you they have one that is just like George Felos' position. Crist is NOT PRO-LIFE. He is putting that in his literature and he is lying. When I have time, I'll see about AHEPA's position on right to die which is actually the right to take somebody else's life.

[Theodore R.]

Also the ascerbic Donald Trump has raised money for Crist.

[floriduh voter]

Crist took donations at a AHEPA fundraiser. They are pro-euthanasia (which is illegal).

"... Felos served as a member of the Clearwater Bar Appellate Law Committee, as governor of the American Hellenic Education Progressive Association (AHEPA)"

As you can see, George Felos who can crash airplanes with his mind was the governor of the AHEPA. Crist took money from this Greek Cypriot club. There are other Crists in the club. I don't know if they're related to CCrist or not.

Crist cannot claim to be pro-life when he is taking money from pro-euthanasia groups.

I don't think you realize you are coming across as a hysterical chicken little. I do not appreciate having to wade through your hysterical posts to get to read the latest posts or try to read my freep mail. This is very obnoxious and you are turning people off to your candidate. I know both Candidates, and Gallagher has a very checkered past so do not act like he is Mr. Family Man. You do not want to know what I know and I am not going to air it on this thread or any other either. the sky is not falling, chill out. Nelson caused almost all of the Problems that we have with all types of Insurance today, and that is straight from Gallagher's mouth.

[floriduh voter]

Samantha, if you don't like forums, you don't have to participate at all.

I think it's pretty serious that Charlie Crist is taking money from progressives. Progressive=liberal. Got it?

(American Hellenic Educational PROGRESSIVE Association)

If you are simply disrupting this thread, you do so at your own risk. I don't flame back.

[floriduh voter]

One last thing: A friend of Judge Greer (not a fan of his), a county commissioner, stated that Bill Nelson started the insurance nightmare. The information was not from the Gallagher Camp.

Would you like me to google Charlie Crist and Dianetics? I could do that next.....

[floriduh voter]

Subscription sites are full of references to Charlie Crist and AHEPA. I am not permitted to post those links here. All I needed to see was that George Felos was the Governor of AHEPA at one point - no wonder Crist violated his oath of office and didn't protect Terri's civil rights. Crist appears to have chosen (pro-euthanasia) AHEPA donations for his campaign over her life. That's downright dangerous.

[floriduh voter]

You were aware that Mel Sembler's son is running Crist's campaign? Brett or Brent is his first name.

Sembler has a lot of businesses including shopping malls. I have no idea how Sembler is able to donate so much to Crist's campaign and I'm sure his son takes a salary from Crist.

Something's not right there, is it?

[samantha]

I am trying to get you to stop obstructing other freepers. You are turning people off, you are not helping your candidate. I have been a resident of Florida since 1968, and I know a lot more than you do about Florida Politics. I want to be able to use free Republic without having to wade through Political Advertising that takes up 1/3 of the post page. I have seen you post plenty of times, and you are unrecognizable today.

[samantha]

I cannot stand Greer's Magoo guts. I don't want to get involved in your diatribes, don't send me anything. I heard right from Gallagher's Mouth about the failures and ineptitude of Bill Nelson, and I have posted what he said as the Gospel. He should be out there spilling his guts about Nelson, and the Democrat Majority Legislatures that led to the Chaos with Insurance in Florida. I want a choice as to what I read on freerepublic, and I normally do have it.
