Crist says state should review gun laws
AP ^ | July 13, 2014 | MICHAEL J. MISHAK

Posted on 07/13/2014 4:07:49 PM PDT by Tailgunner Joe

On Thursday, Crist recalled the acquittal of George Zimmerman without using his name, saying "the instigator of an event has no punishment for taking a life. There's something wrong with that."

And to think that there were actually some on FR that thought this worthless piece of shit was a viable candidate for POTUS.

The flip-flopping idiot is a viable candidate for the dung heap.

Period.

I told a liberal gun grabber that he could kiss my azz and then go to hell for even thinking of denying people the means of protecting themselves.

“The way Scott has run things, I think Crist has a good chance of being governor.”

Cutting taxes & costs?

I think Crist has a good chance of being governor.

Not sure about that...I know several moonbat liberals...

Most will grudgingly say Scott has done a better job than they thought he would...

All of them do not plan to vote for Crist...they know he's a chameleon...they will not vote for Scott and sit home...

Scott needs a strong GOTV plan...

He's a decent Governor, but lousy politician...

5. ‘GZ wasn’t really injured’ * Under Florida’s self-defense laws, one doesn’t have to be injured AT ALL to use deadly force * No one is required to refrain from defending himself while another is engaged in or attempting to commit a felony.

Then what was all that blood on his head ?

Hey Crist..! Does that go for law enforcement also...??

Anyone...ANYONE should have the right to return deadly force with deadly force.. The right to life is one of our basic liberties...

And it also is a "true fact" that Crist is nothing more then a "cheap" politician that would not recognize a fact or even admit to its existence in anyway what-so-ever...

Facts have no place in his scheming political world... His primary concerns are now, and always have been, His own personal self interest....

Crist is a very prime example of the "Orwellian Pig"..!

Crist should probably be more worried about the hordes of “white Hispanic” illegals flooding the states who will end up committing actual crimes.

Crist’s campaigns as of late have a tendency to fizzle out. He got out to a huge lead over Rubio in the 2010 GOP primary only to switch to Independent when he fell back by ~20 points. He then got out to another lead in the three way race only to lose by a significant amount in the general election.

Christ, you were for gun rights as a RINO now as a Marxist you are against them. If Agriculture Commissioner Adam Putnam was running as the Republican candidate, Adam would wipe the floor with Charlie, but Rick Scott (hated by the media) will still win and Charlie can still do law for Morgan and Obama ...for the Rich Liberals (paraphrasing Morgan and Morgan slogan..for the people. What BS...)

As Rush learned a while back when he was on Monday Night Football - which is there absolutely NOTHING a conservative can say about race without getting tarred and feathered, no matter how true it might be.

For Dems, they would do MUCH BETTER keeping quiet about guns and self-defense, rather than trying to finesse the issue. In this case, I don’t know what Crist is trying to prove by siding with Travon, but it won’t help him out with the white vote, that’s for sure.

8. GZ was armed and TM wasn't

TM was trying to grab GZ's gun. A few more seconds and GZ would have been dead from a shot fired from his own gun. Of course the media incessantly referred to TM as "unarmed."

“RCP is garbage stat that is meaningless Crap averaging crap polls but thanks for peddling the Dems propaganda here !, “

That’s an unfair and untrue statement. RCP may be “meaningless crap” to you, but they simply average the results of a number of polls which should show some greater stability. I was simply noting that Scott wasn’t a runaway for re-election. I surely hope you are correct and that Scott will win re-election since Crist is sim a person absent any moral character, and it should bother you ( I know it does me) that people in Florida would give him anything like a close race. I guess, since this is a conservative outlet, I fail to see how I’m “peddling RAT propaganda,” because it would fall on deaf ears here.

And re: your #11, recall too that GZ is a 5’ 9”(?) ~170lb man, while TM was a 6’ 2”, ~180lb “boy” (that number is based on the cops estimate, which they entered into the report at the time). Zimmerman had lost a lot of weight, and was fairly out of shape and still pretty doughy, while TM had recently left the football squad at his school, and was in prime physical condition.

Not by a long shot. But, the marijuana on the ballot is to get out his “marginal” voters, and that is whom this “appeal” of BS is directed toward.

No one rational, having seen the lengths to which the prosecutor tried to hang Zimmerman.... no one believes he did not act in self defense. TM was beating his head into the concrete, and was a gang banger cough syrup/synthetic codeine freak.

Zimmerman— guilty of being too eager in his neighborhood watch volunteerism.

Crist is the darling of only the most desperate dems— who know this is one shyster of an opportunist— and... a queer.
