What I said is true....look at the date:
LeMieux Abandons Crist
April 30, 2010 10:38 A.M.
By Robert Costa
Sen. George LeMieux (R., Fla.) will support Marco Rubio:
“I am saddened that my friend, Governor Crist, has decided to leave the Republican Party. Our friendship runs deep, but my commitment to the principles of the Republican Party runs deeper. I cannot walk down the path he has chosen.
“Now more than ever, our nation’s future depends on our ability to uphold the core Republican ideals of fiscal restraint, peace through strength, individual liberty, personal responsibility and smaller government.
“I will support our Republican nominee and will continue to do everything I can both in Florida and across the country to increase the number of Republicans in the United States Senate.”
I'm afraid I must call naivety.
Every single thing LeMieux has done since being named Senator by his pal Charlie has been to further his (LeMieux's) political prospects. He's a political operative by trade - he lies for a living.
If he had not gone with Rubio over Crist his career would have been over before it began.
At the time he was named Senator, insiders & pundits said:
"LeMieux's plan is to vote conservative for his partial term, hope that the stench of his association with Crist dies down a bit, then try to Bill Nelson seat in 2012."
At the time, FReepers said, "He must think voters are idiots to fall for that?"
