Crist Has ‘Extremely High’ Confidence In Greer

Gov. Charlie Crist says he stands by Republican Party Chairman Jim Greer…

“Extremely high” is how Crist described his level of confidence in Greer. “There’s always a tendency to have different factions in society,” Crist said Friday, “and so some people are going to be happy and some people are going to be disappointed. I think that’s the natural flow of things, really.”

“I know he is a tireless worker,” Crist said of Greer, his hand-picked choice for party boss who was first elected by a margin of a dozen votes. “He’s dedicated to trying to help the party do better and broaden the appeal to minorities. I just think he’s done a great job.”

Just another reason why we need changes in our state party leadership!

For too long, now, the RPOF has been trying to be Democrat lite. We need to promote some real Conservative leadership from within our party. We cannot win when we look like a milder version of the Democrats. We always win when we soundly show the stron differences in our philosophy. Ronald Reagan proved that in 1984 when he won 49 out of 50 states. He even made Minnesota close agains Mondale! It is time for Republicans to act more like Reagan and John Wayne, Charlton Heston than John McCain! Greer is as useless as…well, you probably have your own metaphor to slide in there.

When you lie you have to pay to try and turn that lie in to something else. Marco Rubio does not lie and therefore he can save his money and promote his values and prinicples and deliver his message to conservative Florida voters. It's a positive net gain for Rubio as Crist tries to redefine himself. Crist has one big problem or maybe two. His record and Youtube. If you thought the last quarter was good for Rubio, just wait for this quarter of fundraising when he gets the support of Club for Growth.

It won't matter who gets nominated for they wouldn't be there without the express approval of the "Insiders". I suspect Rubio too will vote with the Libs when he is told to. Like Martinez did.

The good news was...he was running against Jimmy Carter who the soviets had spent 4 years slapping around like a tail dragging puppy, a couple nearly a year of Iran thumbing their noses at us, and a couple weeks after the failed hostage rescue attempt where we left American aircraft and bodies scattered across the Iranian desert so they thought they’d have an easy time scaremongering the American Public away from voting for him…
