I just call them infiltrators who deliberately misled clueless voters and there are enough of them! They score points w/the D and widely accepted across the aisle. One big happy family under a big umbrella.

Well, the names we are talking about are pretty tame compared to the names that they actually deserve.

Obama campaigns with former Republican Crist in crucial Florida
Sept. 8, 2012 | Jeff Mason / FRPosted by Free ThinkerNY

(Reuters) Obama kicked off a two-day bus tour of the key election battleground state Sat with former Florida Governor Charlie Crist, who endorsed Obama's 2008 rival John McCain but has since left the Repub Party. The Dem incumbent hopes Crist, a once-popular Repub governor, will help Obama appeal to political independents, who are likely to determine the state's victor. "We have a leader with a cool head, and his name is Barack Obama," Crist told the crowd of some 11,000 at an outdoor rally. "He is working hard for the middle class. He is working hard for Fla," Crist said. (Excerpt) Read more at reuters.com ...

12/1 2009 ABC NEWS / FLORIDA'S INFAMOUS SCOTT ROTHSTEIN

Court documents filed 2009 by federal authorities sought the forfeiture of $1.2 billion he stole in his massive Ponzi scheme. Federal agents seized $60 million worth of assets that hint at the lavishness of Rothstein's lifestyle. A selection of the items Rothstein purchased with other people's money included 20 luxury cars, 15 homes and other properties, an 87-foot yacht, 304 pieces of jewelry and $12 million stashed in Moroccan banks (Rothstein briefly fled to Morocco with millions for three months when rumors of his alleged scam began to circulate. He returned by chartered jet in November to face US justice).

Rothstein falsified and manufactured numerous counterfeit court documents---and even forged the names of judges---to inveigle unwary investors into a scheme that purported to invest in court settlements (that he faked) at a high rate of return. Rothstein connived to get investors by saying he was the lawyer in hundreds of settlement cases whereas lawyers say that the numbers Rothstein bandied about were impossible. Rothstein also stole monies fron his cliets that were placed in escrow accounts that are never touched by ethical lawyers. Rothstein begged for mercy but the judge gave Rothstein 20 years more than even prosecutors had asked. He is now sergving 50years in a federal prison.

CRIST AND ROTHSTEIN

Another democrat and republican plot foiled! Let’s be rid of McConnell and Cornyn next year, who supported this turncoat fool.

Charlie Crist, Arlen Specter, Lincoln Chafee, Jim Jeffords, the list goes on and on. Democrats posing as republicans. Richard Lugar is another one. Goodbye to him and to Scott Brown and Olympia Snowe.

Hopefully next year we’ll be able to say goodbye to Lindsay Grahamnesty, Susan Collins, Lamar Alexander, Mitch McConnell, Taxby Chambliss, Mike Enzi and John Cornyn, wolves in the fold, all!

They’ve been smoked out. Now they need to be voted out.

So true. Using America as a tool to feed their ego. Notice how they don’t go away. Power is addictive. It’s not about America but them. They think America can’t get along without them and one look at their record it’s all about destroying America. Evil b*st*rds!

So turncoat Crist is now a Dem---just in time to get a Cabinet appointment?

Honest ta God---I really get bummed when people suggest Obama should only appoint "honest, competent people" to high govt posts.

Give the guy a break---Obama is a product of the Chicago political machine---he’s never in his life met anyone who is "honest and competent."

Just look at his first Cabinet appointees: a treasury secretary who couldn’t figure out how to pay his own taxes. His attorney general actually thought selling guns to savage Mexican drug cartels was a good thing. Then there's Obama’s secretaries of commerce given the power of job creation and economic growth. Where have they been the past four years? Getting into Vegas hot tubs with Obama's GSA people?

Heck, we should thank our lucky stars Obama appointed only one czar who was a Communist truther (that we know of).

Is Susan Rice so horrible just b/c she adjusted her jock strap and went on Sunday talk TV? Big frickin' deal. So she misled everyone about Benghazi, saying a YouTube video caused the deaths of four American? Look at old news clips---clearly, Pearl Harbor was sparked by a Charlie Chan movie.
