Fraudulently purporting to represent We, The People?

No mention of Crist’s connection to Greer. Curious.

Since Crist hired him, it should help Rubio and hurt Crist.

Sorry Charlie appointed Greer. Then Greer, also known as error, told the press that the Rep party of Fl was supporting Crist. Us locals cried foul, which led to his removal.

Republican in the headline. Had he been a dem, you’d have found out in paragraph 30.

And 7 more times in the article. I wonder why they can never fit the word "Democrat" in an article anytime a Democrat is charged with corruption.

It might hurt both. Remember, Rubio had some kind of scandal about allegedly abusing his GOP credit card.

Yes and Tom Delay was guilty of a crime too. /s

The left just loves to file false charges for political gain. We can ask Sarah Palin about that.

Look, I don’t know the Rubio case, so others will know more than I on the subject. I can’t get excited about charges since so many false ones are claimed and filed.

One more Republican crook that “The Communist” will use against us.

Including Crist, even when he pretended to be a Republican but was charging Rubio with the GOP credit card thing.

I don't know if these charges will do any permanent damage to Rubio. This may turn out to be a very minor error. But we don't do ourselves any favors by trying to forgive Republicans when they do something bad.

I agree, but I’m very hesitant to accept charges on face value during campaign season. I figure you vote for the best man and let the law iron it out.

If you are very certain the charges are true, you certainly have to take that into consideration and move away from the offending party to be sure.

I think you touched on it fairly well, when you said, “...including Crist.” JMO

I still ultimately defer to those in-state who know the situation better than I.
