this reminds me of the thing I hate the most when the Democraps do it. Let me tell you, I am a really really red conservative white football Mom from Texas. But I have no problem working for or supporting solid conservative blacks, browns, Asians, et al. I really don’t care if they are pink with purple polkadots if they are solid in their support of conservative values. If Crist thinks conservatives won’t vote for a Cuban American, then he is deluding himself.

And while I’m on my soap box. THANK YOU to the Catholic church, of which I am not a member. The Catholic church, both clergy and members, stood fast against abortion longer before conservatives got fully behind the cause. Now it is common to find Christians/Evangelicals/Republicans taking the stand against the murder of innocents. But I can remember when we didn’t and the Catholic faithful stood in the gap with little help.

So YES, as a very white conservative, I will support solid conservative Cuban Americans, Mexican Americans, etc. with my votes and money. I will be sending my funds, small though they are, directly to Rubio – and my prayers as well.

I handed out information about Marco Rubio including his website at the Tea Pary Express II rally in Abilene, Texas. Visited with some Texas folks who know about the race, others who never heard of it, but all said they would check out the website and possibly donate some money. I encouraged them to remember how important every state Senator’s vote is to all of us when it comes to close issues like Obamacare. The Express bus driver was from Florida and said most radio stations were pulling for Rubio there. It would be interesting to know how many people are not donating to the RNC because of Scozzafava. I sent money to Hoffman, and have decided to send my money to individual candidates including Rubio. I have not been answering the RNC calls, but my older son answered last week, mentioned how upset we were about our money they spent on Scozzafava, and he told them to call Newt Gingrich and get money from him. The lady said she did not have his number, and my son replied, “You got my number, you can get his.” Then, he hung up. I’m not that bold, but it felt good to cheer him on. Now we hear OUR donations are going for RNC insurance that includes abortion? I’ll have to let my son answer again, and mention that, too! By the way, I am 57 years old and have never been politically active. Getting involved is a bit scary for me, but finding myself cowering in the corner fearful while my country is lost is just not a option. I encourage everyone to do anything they can. It is safe and easy to donate money to candidates like Hoffman and Rubio online. Thank you RedState. I am so glad I found you!

A slam on Jindal (who would make a damn fine President if he is qualified) in a thread about cheap shots on Rubio for being a Cuban? Wha?

Either Crist or Rubio would win the general election.

Kendrick Meek is an embarrassing candidate for the Democrats. Back when he was a state legislator, he even signed a petition to exonerate Lyndon LaRouche!.

There is no reason to support Crist – unless you like big government.

Rubio can win the primary, and Crist’s flailing confirms it.

Crist self-destructs under pressure and messily at that. If were a horse, I’d say it’s time to lead him out to pasture. He’s an embarrassingly insecure politician.

Cuban Americans Crist needs to win in order to secure the Republican nomination. Ignoring of course all the Cuban American votes he would need in the general election, assuming he “won” the primary. I mean, I realize the man isn’t a conservative, but I thought he was at least supposed to be able to read polling results and know that Cuban Americans are a key Republican demographic in Florida.

Memo to the NRSC: pull the plug on Crist before it gets any MORE embarrassing for you. I know, I know. Right now it is difficult to imagine how it COULD get any more embarrassing, but given his track record so far, I know I don’t want to find out. Maybe you shouldn’t want to either.

They saw true tyranny and they saw freedom in our country. Anyone risking their lives to choose freedom over tyranny is trustworthy.

Left a message saying I’m so disgusted with Crist’s campaign as of late.

Asked the NRSC why only Christ is listed on their website as running for the florida senate as a Republican and why they continue to endorse someone who has allowed blatant racist remarks about fellow Republicans.

They had no idea what I was talking about and I was apparently misinformed.

… all that laughing is going to give you a headache.

I’m sure Charlie’s not even close to done trying to bust our seams (in fact, maybe that’s his whole diabolical scheme). So remember: pace yourself; safety first!

heh….yet more proof that we’re poorly represented by the leadership of our party that they would jump on Crist’s bandwagon when he’s this inept and asinine!

Aren’t Cubans the guys who willingly take off in homemade rafts from Cuba in the hopes that they’ll end up in the Land of the Free? In which case, isn’t it counterintuitive to say that they dislike America? Also, didn’t Crist’s best buddy (Obama) say that he wanted Americans to know other languages besides English?
