The GOP needs more Charlie Crists, fewer Rush Limbaughs, Dick Cheneys and Sarah Palins as it seeks, phoenix-like, to rise from the funeral pyre.
Crist has agreed to do the party a major favor and run for the Senate, instead of for reelection as Florida governor. As CNN reports:
The Senator from Texas and chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee on Tuesday reeled in a big catch as popular Republican Florida Gov. Charlie Crist announced he'll forgo a re-election bid and instead run for the seat being vacated by retiring Republican Sen. Mel Martinez.
Crist is a moderate, a tree-hugger (by Republican standards, anyway) and supports civil rights, unlike high-profile members of the Bush administration (Cheney et. al.) who seem to revel in trashing them. From Time:
Crist is a peppy populist who has bucked his party on the environment, civil rights and the stimulus bill.
Go, Charlie! You're just what the party needs to start reopening the doors of the big tent.

Gov. Palin supporter

Flashback to Bonnie Erbe’s horrible “rape” comment to Linda Chavez. (above link)... a real sicko.
First, clean house and then you can move forward, but not until then. Conservatism wins!
Thanks commie pinko babe!
Now we know EXACTLY what to do: Get MORE Limbaughs, Cheneys and Palins!
True, Crist is a suntanned weirdo of dubious sexual orientation, but as a candidate or elected official, its not about what you SAY you are going to do or support, but what you actually DO or support.
Truth is Crist has NOT done anything unconservative since being elected except hugging the muslim in chief and SAYING that he supports the "Stimulus" plan.
I guarantee that he won't vote that way in the Senate.
To equate him with Specter or call him a RINO at this stage is completely unjustified and ridiculous.
I just noticed....Ms. Erbe has outted herself as the RACIST SHE IS!!!! Democrats, who instituted Jim Crow laws, started the Klu Klux Klan...fought against the Civil Rights laws from the 1860's to the 1960's... BONNIE ERBE is a RACIST!
The writer does have a point. The GOP’s Washington office does need a makeover. Crist can help. *Snigger*.
I gave up on holding my nose a several election cycles ago.
Because Crist has such a huge soap box (Rush), is willing to stand up to the mendacity of the democrat socialist party (Cheney), and draws such huge crowds (Palin). Uh huh. STFU, you useless libtard hack (directed at Erbe or whatever, NOT pissant).
“Maybe they have a point, I mean Reagan was a moderate and all...”
I’m AMAZED by how hard they are trying to portray Reagan this way. Everywhere I see his name nowadays, it’s followed by the word ‘Moderate’.
They are trying SO hard to shift everything left.
WRONG! The libs want us to move to the left, when in actuality we need to move to the right to strengthen our base and to attract those that have or will soon see how dangerous Obama really is.
So Republicans are opposed to civil rights? What civil rights? Codespeak for homo marriage?
::snort::
Well observed.
Republicans certainly need less of Bonnie Erbe. Check the archives and you’ll find out who she is. She is no friend of ours.
“Republicans Need More Crist and Less Limbaugh, Cheney and Palin”
That would make them Democrats...
The winning strategy is to do the OPPOSITE of what these liberals keep telling us we need to do!
My gosh, this is like the chickens hiring the wolf to “protect” them. The only people stupid enough to buy into this...is the Republican Party ‘leadership’.
Seems like she’s a fantastic contrarian indicator. Take what she says and multiply by a great big minus one.
