Could it have been Marco Rubio that prompted the Governor to go so far right?
Perhaps, a pollster was the intended target?
Relish the sight, it may be the last time you ever see Charlie Crist go that far to the right!
Editor’s Note – As if our readers need another reason to not vote for Crist or Meek, this story outlines the potential impact a victory by either one could have on national policy.
Of course, with George LeMieux wandering off the reservation here of late, the scenerio spelled out may be of use even with a Rubio win.
Speaking of moot points, if you were to put any stock in the polls, this race now belongs to Marco Rubio – if he can keep his nose clean for the next 38 days.
Editor’s Note – Is the world beginning to right itself?
Sanity certainly seems to be making a comeback as we see Crist begin to sink in the polls.
That loud noise coming from South Florida is a big sigh of relief from the Marco Rubio Campaign!
Orlando Sentinel
Gov. Charlie Crist’s office said the governor is now considering the qualifications of seven individuals chosen out of 23 applicants to replace suspended Orange County Commissioner Mildred Fernández.
These seven people who were interviewed Thursday by the governor, who will announce his decision next week.
Editor’s Note – Crist should have eliminated all the suspense and just registered as a Democrat.
This has certainly got to be discerning news for Kendrick Meek.
As for Marco Rubio, he was strong as a front runner, how does he respond now that Crist has managed to catch him in the polls? So far, it appears that he’s still searching for that answer.
Editor’s Note – In what many see as little more than political grandstanding by a desperate Charlie Crist, who is milking the Gulf Oil Spill for all it’s worth, the citizens of Florida are on the hook to the tune of $50,ooo a day to help advance his Senatorial campaign.
As stated in the article, Republican lawmakers have no appetite for this session. Just five weeks out from primaries, you can be sure that little will happen.
Tea Parties Boiling Over Crist’s U.S. Sugar Deal
By Kenric Ward
Sunshine State News
Tea partiers and a Republican political action committee say they will descend on South Florida Water Management District headquarters today to protest the agency’s purchase of U.S. Sugar property for Everglades restoration.
“We want to end the bailout,” said Daniel Diaz, director of the Republican Majority Campaign PAC, based in Pompano Beach.
Editor’s Note – Not everyone is as confident that Florida Legislature will pass legislation dealing with the illegal immigration problem.
Considering that this is an election year, it’s far more realistic that this issue will not be touched with a ten foot pole.
As for Rep. William Snyder, he is being disingenuous when he suggests that it’s up to Crist to extend this special session. If the lawmakers want to extend the session, it is within their ability to do it. Odds are, that’s not happening!
Protesters Call Agenda Change “Taxation without Representation” and Demand to Be Heard
(West Palm Beach, Florida) – “End Charlie’s Bailout,” a coalition of a fiscally conservative activist are not thwarted by a last minute agenda change at the South Florida Water Management District Budget Workshop on July 14th, at 12:00 PM meant to prevent as many activists from attending the workshop.

Kenneth Feinberg, the Obama administration’s oil spill claims czar, has scheduled a meeting in Pensacola on Monday to listen to locals and talk about how the $20 billion set aside for the claims process will be spent. Gov. Charlie Crist is planning to attend.

Our founders deliberately did not establish a democracy, because in that form of government, the majority would always choke to death the desire for Liberty of a minority. Yet another point that Mrs. Ginsberg might be wise to share with Egypt instead of encouraging them to strive “to achieve a general democracy…”
The dichotomy of her praise and criticism of our founders and our Constitution shows that she is greatly misinformed of both…

Good bye Presidential hoopla we’ll see you in August.
But for now, let’s turn our thoughts to more pressing problems for Florida and the nation. Fasten your seat belts folks; it’s going to be a bumpy ride.
This won’t be a Tea Party vs the Establishment event, that’s just so 2010. No, this is a showcase for Agenders, Fair Taxers, Occupiers (well they don’t really vote do they”), and GOOOH’ers…

I am not a fan of this two-party system where your personal beliefs have to be compromised to one party platform or the other based on the lesser of two evils.
I am reminded of my own words of how Congress has become entrenched and regardless of party they are more concerned with the power and the prestige of office then in service to their country.

So after three years of toil by thousands of average everyday citizens who’ve sacrificed far more than they ever cared to, Florida supports John McCain yet again, just in a prettier package.
And just as in 2008, Florida will be the impetus that thrusts this better wrapped version identified as Mitt Romney one step closer to an eventual match up with Barack Obama.
There will be plenty of coverage breaking down the final numbers…

I remember the instant that the mood changed.
As my lens focused beyond the Washington Monument and upon the Capital Dome I recognized that I no longer felt proud of this city. I was embarrassed that under that dome sat men and women who first thought of themselves before they thought of their nation.
