Maybe they can start by putting out the fires that never seem to stop burning. When I stepped out of the Tampa airport to get my rental car, I knew I was in Florida just by the smell. And it wasn’t orange blossoms.
Crist is already an activist governor and I’m missing Jeb already.
Crist is already costing me money on HIS plans.
Only thing I like about him is his girlfriend and man is she a babe.
What makes this most interesting to me is how thsse two republican governors, along with all the others who support the lie of global warming, also claim to believe and follow the lie of evolution.
My dream one day is to look out over Clearwater Beach with a good set of binoculars and scanning the horizon looking at the hundreds of oil platforms helping to make the USA free from ME oil.
Only then will the goat humpers and camel kissers feel fear
Ya think?
Politicians as a rule are not scientists. They are a layer of scum that floats to the top of public opinion. Public opinion is not formed by science either, it is basically emotion fed by propaganda. This would never had happened if people had turned off their TVs in the last 5 minutes of every nature show.
I think the line from “O Brother, Where Art Thou?” fits this situation: “... it’s a fool that looks for logic in the chambers of the human heart.”
Florida should of had Tom Gallagher be the GOP candidate for Governor. Gallagher even said several times that Charlie Crist wasn’t really a conservative.

So if I’m reading this right, the governor is asking the state bureaucracy to interfere with private industry and pummel free enterprise with arbitrary and capricious regulations.
It looks like Florida living is about to get more expensive. I believe the economists at Wharton recently raised the costs of complying with global warming mandates to more than $4,000 annually per family. Citizens in Britian are already getting socked with increased road taxes - with proposals raising it from £210 to £5,000 - in order to combat “car use and ownership.”
Brits could also see a washing machine tax, a dishwasher tax, a dryer tax, a lightbulb tax and an air travel tax. (I believe the air travel carbon tax has already been enacted.)
The grand total of new taxes for a family of four would be an additional £1,163 per year, according to an analysis by the Daily Mail last year.
What this means, of course, is another army of mindless burocrats pushing papers, bullying the working man and woman, and fixing things that aren’t broken. Bigger government! More government workers! A bigger army of parasites!
BTTT for later ....
Dang Charlie, I voted for ya’, now you do this....
just dang
The lesson here? Conservatives don’t let conservatives vote for RINOs.
‘’State government is the largest single enterprise within Florida,’’ Crist said.
This is the whole problem nationwide.

• State regulators must demand that utilities use wind, solar or other renewable sources to produce 20 percent of their power by 2020.
• Florida will adopt California's motor vehicle emission standards, including a 22 percent reduction by 2012 and a 30 percent reduction by 2016. Those standards are being challenged in court.
GOOD! All three of these need to be challenged in court. Who does Crist think he is, il Duce? Since when does a governor merely dictate to companies and citizenry how to live their lives--without the legislature's (aka the people's) approval? Is this kind of action even constitutional?
I have no problem with Crist ordering government buildings to "go green"...that is, cut down on energy use....but this idiocy of making ordinary joes pay out the nose for his carbon-cutting fetish is ridiculous.
Asked if he favored a return to annual inspections for Florida vehicles, a widely unpopular program that ended years ago, Crist said he preferred to pressure automakers into improving engines.
What a friggin' idiot. The automakers WERE improving engines, Chuckles. And they continue to do that...your "pressure" isn't needed, and will in fact merely increase the cost to the consumer. Geez, can we take this guy, tie him down in a chair in front of Dr. Sowell, pry his eyes open like in "A Clockwork Orange" and teach him some friggin' economics???!!??
No costs were detailed or even discussed, but most seemed likely to be borne by private industry, though they could be passed along to consumers in the form of higher prices and rates.
NO S--T, SHERLOCK!!!!! Well, lookey here....a news writer with some COMMON SENSE AND INTELLIGENCE. I just wish this part of the story hadn't been buried in the middle of the article. It ought to be at the very top: consumers forced to pay higher prices is the real story here.
Sorry for the rant, folks, but Crist is really really really really really really off the reservation here.
I made phone calls for the guy and asked people to vote for him in the general election. This action is WRONG as WRONG can be.
