Selected, not elected?
If the GOP does this, I may NEVER vote for a GOP candidate again. Strike that: WILL NEVER.
I would not blame it on the Florida GOP. The main reason Crist is popular is that he draws from the Democrat side, as well as the liberal GOP side. Of course, I plan to vote for Rubio, but he’s not going to beat Crist, and if he should, he probably would not beat the Democrat. The problem is not so much the GOP as it is the electorate. The electorate has swung far to the left. I will admit, though, that a lot of the reason is that the national GOP allowed a massive influx of immigrants who do not understand or support the American experience. Unfortunately, that is water under the bridge at this point.
Marco Rubio is a stand up guy.....
Is this a joke? I can hardly believe this is real, that it is possible here in America. Say it ain’t so, Scanian, Say it ain’t so.
Used this on another thread: Rumble for Rubio!!!
Thanks for posting the phone number. Copied and armed (with indignation).
TALLAHASSEE -- Florida GOP Chairman Jim Greer is trying to put out a brush-fire over his efforts to invoke a little-known Rule 11 to allow the national GOP start funneling money and resources to Charlie Crist's U.S. Senate campaign.Although the National Republican Senatorial Committee has already endorsed Crist over former state House Speaker Marco Rubio, a couple county GOP executive committees in Hillsborough and Brevard counties have passed protest resolutions, and Sharon Day, the Fort Lauderdale Republican who is secretary of the RNC, has refused to sign the request to invoke the rule.
Greer says it's a moot point because the NRSC has already pledged its resources to Crist in the primary.
And besides, he should be treated like an incumbent.
"The flip side to this thing is, the governor should be treated basically as an incumbent, many people feel," Greer said Friday.
“The party always has a practice of helping incumbents.”

The limp wristed GOP, in a “fierce” fight? What Orwellian nonsense.
I’m standing my ground, NO MORE RINOs! I might even support a conservative democrat, if there is one.
“crazies”
If the GOP calls conservative “crazies” then they need to DIE AND DIE!

I am beginning to think that we are going to need to have an independent or third party candidate ready to go for next year’s Senate campaign.
WOW. Seeing you post this got me to reading the thread. Sounds like you have the beginnings of the strangulation of grassroots there in Florida that’s decimated the CALGOP.
BTW, is this Greer related to the Judge who abetted the murder of Terri?

Don’t know about Greer, it seems to be a not unusual name. As for Florida this is more like a coup attempt by the Governor and his hand picked state chairman, backed by the MSM. County organizations are raising hell all over the state. In Florida the party chairman is named by the gubernatorial nominee. When they go rogue, only the most drastic measures, such as removal by the state committee, can stop them.
