…is questioning whether Heffley would have inserted himself into the U.S. Senate race without consent from Crist’s campaign or the Republican Party of Florida.

I too find it hard to believe he acted alone. That he acted as point man is pretty much established. But point for whom? Where did the money come from? Did anybody give an “unofficial” okay for the attacks? Does this go directly back to Crist, or is it some other group? Or, are there additional intermediary groups working this so Crist can maintain “plausible deniability”? Once again I find myself wondering why this looks so Nixionian*.

*Despite my dislike for the origin of the word, there seems to be no other word in the language that relays the correct meaning in such a short space.

Ask RINO Crist if HE will support the Republican if RINO Crist loses the primary, or will RINO Crist throw his support to the democrap.

I know I got ripped soundly the last time I posted here since apparently not being a fan of Glenn Beck is apostasy, but I’d just like to point out that I sent a couple of emails to an old friend at the News-Press, which has a good relationship with the Post here in WPB. As a member of the MSM (well trade pubs now) I’ve got a few newspaper contacts around here and you can bet I’ll be putting them to work when Crist pulls this crap again.

I doubt my particular email started this since it first appeared in the Post and I sent my messages too folks in SW Florida, but I hope you folks realize you do have some allies that write for old media.

Do you think theNY 23 County Republican executives that picked Dede instead of holding a primary might have learned a lesson?

While the focus seems to be on the NRSC and the role they played in this mess, the reality is that the local Republican party machinery started this FAIL of epic proportions in motion.

They back the candidate they expect to end up with ADA and ACU ratings of 50 – that way they represent the middle and will always win elections.

Or not.

Well, in that case, the only thing for the GOP to do is forgive and forget, and then continue to back the federal election law-breaking, obama-supporting, tax-raising RINO.

It’s all about party loyalty after all. Isn’t that right, Newt?

After all that has been revealed, why is the site still up and running. Heffley said himself that it was a half-baked idea and yet the site remains.

I think they need to use the site to post a HUGE apology to Rubio and explain what they did.

Just leave that up there for a week or two.

This kind of stupidity will continue until as Cold Warrior tells us everyday WE change it from within. That this tool made 6 million dollars in 2 years working for the GOP says there are BIGGER problems then just stupidity. We addressed this with another idiots during the McCain campaign which Erick advised us of (I cannot remember the idiot).

The GOP proves EVERY DAY why NOT to donate to their coffers but to slowly bleed them dry so that they die off and WE start a fresh new day in the GOP with REAL Conservatives. OBTW why would WE trust the GOP to stop throwing money around while in power when they SPEND like drunken sailors state to state on tools like Heffley.

making the Florida Republican party aware they will not support them as long as Mr. Heffley is consulting with FLGOP in any part.

Will the Republican Party of Florida denounce Mr. Heffley, sever ties with him, and stop paying him directly or indirectly? According to another of Mr. Heffley’s web sites, mystrategicdirection.com, “[h]e is again serving as lead consultant to the Republican Party for 2012.”

Will Gov. Crist, who appointed Mr. Heffley to the Florida Sports Foundation Board, ask him to resign from that position?

Kudos, Erick — and to Leon also. The work you guys have done recently is just spectacular. Be sure to keep those donation requests coming.

I don’t know about you guys, but I’m fed up with the so-call Republican elite and their arrogance in choosing who THEY want to support and who gets the money. I guess they want candidates created in their own image–Criss, Scozzafava–instead of true conservatives like Rubio and Hoffman. I no longer send money to the RNC or the House or Senate committees and instead send it directly to the candidate. They are making some really bad choices, so I suggest we dry up their funds. We will have a lot more control over who gets the nomination if we control where our own money goes.

I posted the story on my blog ( http://voterubio2010.blogspot.com/2009/10/top-crist-political-advisor-admits-to.html ) as soon as I saw it. I think this is another huge step backwards for Crist and I can only hope that he continues to prove to bet this incompetent over the next 10 months.

Your instincts were correct from the start.

They do mention Redstate on the next page; I posted in a little too much haste.

Great news.

I note that they just credit “Rubio Supporters” for finding the rheffley tag. The old media wouldn’t want to acknowledge they’ve been scooped by a blogger.
