Crist worries conservatives
Tribune ^ | 11 August 2006 | Joe Follick

TALLAHASSEE -- Republican Tom Gallagher is betting his political life on an appeal to Christian and social conservatives. And at least one of his supporters in those groups say their own future is at stake in Gallagher's quest to be governor.

Gallagher has earned the endorsement of Florida Right to Life, as well as vocal support of most social conservative leaders in the state. His goal: Win the hearts of Republicans most likely to get out and vote on Sept. 5.

Your post are YOUR WORDS, not mine. Those were never my statements - you twisted everything I posted. You are trying to discredit me because you are here to push a socialist agenda in Florida.

Free Republic is a conservative web site, not a socialist one. Crist is a socialist on the order of Howard Dean. Now stop lying about my other posts.

From what you say, Crist would be an utter disaster. His involvement with the euthanasia promoters is downright creepy. No way can he be described as a conservative, some of his ideas and acts are left-wing.

I just can't believe that Floridians are stupid enough to vote for Crist.

That is a wreckless charge you are forwarding.

Desperation by one who has drunk the "Kool-Aid" and is coming back for seconds.

I don't favor any candidate. I am disappointed that there are no better choices at this point.

My favorite candidate was Alan Bense, but he lacks name recognition and his campaign would be like swimming up Niagara Falls.

What I do worry about is a seriously flawed candidate being nominated and allowing the Democrats to use all the stuff they have prepared to unload on him (Gary Condi/Clinton activities + getting state deals for his business buddies, some of who he was still in private business with at the time).

I can't figure out how a thinking person could get in such profound denial and overlook it all as if that would make it go away.

"I am disappointed that there are no better choices at this point."

I can empathize. The state in which I reside, AZ, can't field a candidate either to get rid of our one term Dem Gov. And AZ has any number of good Republicans who could have run and decided against it. You aren't alone.

The president's poll numbers slid before the insurgents arrived en masse in Iraq and immediately after Terri died. Donations to the party dropped significantly right after Terri died, not during an insurgency.

The Pope died right after Terri. They were both in the news, not problems in Iraq.

Crist is an ignorant socialist. If that's what you want, you go for it.

That line from your post puts you in the same league with Howierd (spelling intentional) Dean.

I picture you walking down the street, repeating that phrase ad nauseum.Blurt out something you know is untrue and inflammatory. Classic Dean style.

Thanks for the lesson. I have learned where you're coming from now.

Republicans have huge money pots with lots of dough vs the other prominent party.

And just how many Catholics are Republicans? Not very many. A majority of Catholics vote for Dems.

It is not a wreckless charge. State sponsored homicide killed Terri Schiavo. She was starved and dehydrated to death. Killing people is wreckless, wouldn't you say? Were you aware that Free Republic is pro-life?

Felony Murder is wrong, whether a judge does it, a lawyer or a doctor who is part of Florida's euthanasia movement. Euthanasia is illegal and so is assisted suicide.

8mmmauser, please bring over the CHARLIE CRIST LET MY DAUGHTER DIE thread to this link.

"State sponsored homicide killed Terri Schiavo."

Local, state, and federal laws speak otherwise.

Tom Gallagher was in the Honor Guard at Arlington National Cemetery. Crist's military service? Oh, never mind. That would have but into his sunbathing on the rooftop of his rented condo.

It really hurts me to see a conservative resort to liberal rants and tactics like that.

Good thing you can't use a bullhorn on this forum.

You are adept at avoiding the truth and hiding from uncomfortable facts.

I would even venture to say that disallowing one's spouse to honor their wish in relation to following local state and federal laws in that the state is the only one to decide a matter such is that is very liberal in its thinking.

Tom Gallagher said that Charlie Crist was like Howard Dean. I'm saying he's EXACTLY like Howard Dean. Wake up, people.

Freepers like juliernr21;davidosborne;joebrower are long time freepers that go way back. They are credible, engaged, talented freepers.

Join "davidosborne"'s TOM GALLAGHER PING LIST.

Got the tattoo yet?

It's revolting to see someone "kiss up" to a seriously flawed candidate and willing to block out all facts to the contrary.

You should consider getting into the lucrative filed of pro-global warming reasearch. That's how they work too.

Right to Die/euthanasia/forced exits are not compatible with Free Republic's position on the right to life.

Terri was murdered. Charlie Crist let her die.

Charlie Crist is a liberal. Now you can stop insulting me because that's not acceptable behavior at FR.

Tom Gallagher is Catholic.

So was John Kerry...so what.

On the other hand, he adopted the "Kerry Flip-Flop Approach" to gun control (he was for it before he found he could pick up some votes by being against it).
