Why would a liberal/dem vote for Crist? The man has no honor, morals, value, integrity or loyalty.....oh wait!

I can't understand how anyone could cast a vote for Crist, after all he has said and done and then did a complete 360 on every issue and value he ever had.
While I was out yesterday. I seen a lady go out and get her yard sign for Crist and pull it up. I wonder what he did to upset her. Shes had that sign out there for weeks

I'm a realist. Meeks is not a good campaigner. Crist is a popular governor. It's always better to have a moderate in office that believes in compromise rather than a hard right winger like Rubio (except his pro-immigrant positions). Since when do Republicans have any kind of moral values or integrity? Ever since the days of Nixon, Reagan, Bushes 1 and 2, they have used pure bigotry to win election among american voters who are easily swayed by it. this country is going down the drain quickly with an incompetent president and even more incompetent republicans that wish to take over. I'm lately on the side of the lesser of 2 evils.

Why don't you go ask her and let us know what she said?

You know that remark about Republicans and ingefity and moral values is untrue and unfair. I expect a little more honesty out of you regardless of how you might feel about Florida and Crist. As for popular, he was, but hasn't been in the last few years according to our family in Florida. By the way, they are all supporting Rubio, but our son is certainly not a conservative.

It's ironic that when Crist first went independent Dems thought it would fragment the Republicans. Dems actually thought there were a sizeable amount of Reps who thought Rubio was "too extreme" and be thankful to vote for Crist. In realiy Crist making it into a 3 way race split the Democrats instead.

This goes to show that ALL RINO moderate candidates should leave the GOP. WE DON"T WANT YOU. Become an independent or go ahead and become a Democrat...that's where your heart has been the whole time...and that's where you'll find your voters.

Believe me when I wish that I could tell you otherwise. If the Republican party went out to win with a "Southern Strategy" to demean blacks from 1968-present, used Lee Atwater tricks in 88 and invented anti-gay initiatives to churn the vote out for W in 2004, just what would you call it? It's certainly not what I would consider to be MORAL.
W ran on his slogan that he was a "uniter, not a divider" in 2000. Yet, that dividing is precisely what he did to this country. It has since not recovered. I was hopeful for Obama, but have since lost hope in him. It's always the lesser of 2 evils, isn't it?

Rubio is a crook and a sleazebag. Has anyone at all been following his shenanigans ? He was the prime mover in the courthouse/Taj Mahal and he denied it until the email was published....gosh, we have some blind people......

I know Charlie is a crook but he ain't nothing compared to Rubio if he gets in. I'm telling you.....He is nothing but a Republican shill and so crooked, it makes my hair stand on end just thinking about it.

Rubio's "my mother was a maid, my father was a bartender" story, geesh The Cuban Adjustment Act supported them, best immigrant package deal ever, better deal than for any Americans. And now Rubio will go to DC to cut out entitlements of Americans BORN here. Geesh I seriously doubt Rubio cares about other immigrants, especially the poor and struggling.
You just hate anyone that prospers in this country don't you? Daddy did some major brain washing on you...
