Granny Panties Crist Strikes Again!
After the teacher vote.
I live in Florida....and this bill was weak....good in some areas....but lacking in others
First, this bill did nothing to cut the large number of administrators and non-teaching personnel that are infested in our schools. Remember, it is the administrators who let the teachers underperform and let the schools slide....I wish the GOP in Florida would stop catering to the admin and go after them too.....it would save the state so much money....esp with their retirement packages (much better than any teacher makes)
Also.....not a fan of tying teacher performance to test scores. No fan of the Bush/Kennedy “No Child Left Behind” with its big-government liberalism...and Ted Kennedy fingerprints all over. Scary that you would have the GOP acting so strongly on Ted Kennedy legislation. Standardized test scores are a Ted Kennedy legacy...its big government liberalism
Probably vetoed it as he will run independent...but it probably saved the GOP some state House and Senate seats....this bill was not all that popular
You cut the administration first.....you get more political support, and, you cut the school spending so much more. Attacking teachers usually backfires
This disgrace will next announce that he is running as an indie
Bass turd!
A PRO-LIFE DEMOCRAT AND A LIBERAL REPUBLICAN

SPEAKERS:
CHRIS WALLACE, HOST
GOV. CHARLIE CRIST, R-FLA.
WALLACE: Speaking of these questions about your political future, there have been persistent rumors in Florida that you are so far behind, at least currently, in the polls — double digits to Mr. Rubio — that you may run instead as an independent.
Here is your chance to dispel all the rumors. Are you willing to pledge right here, right now that you will run in the Republican primary for the U.S. Senate and not run as an independent?
CRIST: I’m running as a Republican. I’m very proud to be from the party of Abraham Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, others that really have stood up for the principles of our party, like Ronald Reagan.
This is a great party. It has a great future. We have a great opportunity to win in November. It’s important that we put a candidate up that can win in November.
WALLACE: So are you ruling out that you will file as an independent by the April 30th deadline?
CRIST: That’s right. That’s right. I’m running as a Republican.
WALLACE: You will run not for a governor — you’ll run for Senate, and you will run as a — in the Republican primary.
CRIST: Chris, I’m running for the United States Senate. I know that our country needs help. I’m running as a Republican. This man to my left is a friend but I hope to defeat him on August the 24th, and I would encourage every Florida Republican to get out and vote.
WALLACE: Will you support the winner of the GOP primary, whether it’s you or Marco Rubio?
CRIST: Of course I will. Of course I will. But I think before that decision is made, people—
WALLACE: Well, I’m going to get — I’m going to — I’ll give you an opportunity for a final statement. I just want to say, though, you are saying you are going to run in the Republican primary for the U.S. Senate. You will not run on the no party affiliation line.
CRIST: That’s right. That’s right. That’s what I’m saying.
Granny Panties Crist Strikes Again!
This is setting the table to run as an independent. He has nothing to lose at this point. The RATs know they have a loser in Meek. They will back-door their support to Crist in the general election (if he goes indy).
