FL Senate slugfest spills over onto faith forum

At today’s Florida Family Council forum in Miami, the war of words between Senatorial candidates Charlie Crist and Marco Rubio took center stage as they vyed for the support of the attendees at this morning’s event.

The Democrat candidates were also in attendance.Democrat Congressman Kendrick Meek made it a point to proclaim that he is the pro-choice candidate in the Senate race by stating, “I am Pro-Choice”.  Meeks followed up that remark with, “I am running to be your Senator…“I am not running to be your pastor, not running to be your rabbi.”

Preaching to the choir, Rubio spoke of preserving the sanctity of (all) life and went as far as he denounced Roe v. Wade, stating that the decision should be overturned. “Senators can’t change hearts. Only God can change hearts,” proclaimed Rubio.

Governor Crist rounded out the bunch by giving, in my opinion, one of the most gawd-awful addresses I think I have ever heard.   Governor Crist’s speech was basically a “Hi, I’m Charlie and this is my story’ speech.  Crist made it a point to tell everyone that he too has served the people. “I served people their water”, Crist said, referring to the days he waited on members as a ‘water boy’ at a country club.

I was able to catch up with Governor Crist outside the event where he was surrounded by press and supporters, including Broward Republican Executive Committee Political Consultant Richard DeNapoli (Center, in the Crist video).  I asked him for his thoughts about Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman-Schultz’s ridicule of both Rubio and the Republican Party of Florida yesterday. Congressman Wasserman-Schultz quickly came out and stuck her schnoz into an issue that doesn’t concern her- AMEX-gate, as Congressman Meek avoided any mention of the issue.

Nice of the good Governor to defend the Republican Party.(sarcasm)

The Meek campaign dodged me on this issue, but I was able to ask Rubio his thoughts about Wasserman-Schultz’s remarks.  ”She is a Democrat. This is an election year and she is going to attack Republicans,” Rubio said.

  1. Sen Rubio,

    GO for it!!!!
    May God bless you.

    My vote is yours!!

    Enough of the immorality and attack on life and all that is right, good, decent and honest. All this democratics brought was Obama and terrorists empowerment in our soil thru the ridiculous Politically Correctness that is killing our SEALS and all thru Patriots in uniform.

  2. DeNapoli???? Wow! He told me he was really supporting Rubio.

  3. Christians for Rubio

  4. We already know Christ has the same’chameleonlike’ attributes as Obama. Let’s give Rubio a chance to prove himself…sooner or later his true character is going to emerge..because everything comes out in the wash……sooner or later.
    There are “a few good men” out there. The American people desperately need leadership they can TRUST. With the level of corruption and greed in Washington and Wall St…how can we expect them to have any faith in this pathetic display of leadership in our government..that was so clearly demonstrated at the so-called ‘Healthcare Summit’meeting! What an absolute farce that was! God help us.

  5. I’m not voting for either of these goofballs. It’s Senator Bob Smith for me. Smarten up folks or you’ll have Meeks as the next senator from Florida

  6. Joser,

    Seriously, you are gonna vote for that washed up old man? He doesnt stand a chance to win this race. all he is doing is wasting peoples time and money

  7. There is only one true conservative in the race and that is Marco Rubio. As for Bob Smith, which state will he move to next to regain a senate seat? He served 18 years in New Hampshire and lost in a Republican primary. Florida voters want new blood, not a has been.

  8. Another Christian for Rubio

    Interesting this was a “faith forum”. Only one person of faith seemed to show up- Rubio. The other 2 are secular people and we have WAY TOO MANY of those in Congress/Administration. Crist should have just stayed home, he did not fit in this kind of venue since his faith is in himself, not in God.

  9. Tammy…..get the facts before you make comments that you have no knowledge of. Bob Smith led the fight to ban Partial-Birth Abortion in Washington…..He has always been true to the Constitution during his 18 years, none of the others running can make that claim. Had you been on the plane that landed in the Hudson River saving every life, would you have rather had a fairly inexperienced pilot or an experienced one like Sollenberger? Check Bob Smith’s web-site:wwwFriendsofSenatorBobSmith.com….invite him to speak in your town…..than make your comments.

  10. Mr. Rubio is saying what all the new Republicans are saying. 75% good when dealing with the economy. But the talk of war with Iran is insane. That will trigger WWIII.

  11. Kathy,

    Bob Smith is the old guard. The establishment we need to change out.

    You mention a plane and the Hudson River,well how about when we needed him to stand up for the GOP?

    Instead he endorsed and campaigned for John Kerry over President Bush and the GOP.

    You were saying Kathy?

  12. RUBIO RUBIO RUBIO WHO ELSE IS THERE? NONE OTHER HAS BIBLICAL VALUES AMERICA NEEDS RUBIO & GOD!

  13. Christians for Rubio

    Bob Smith?!!! Lol!!! That WACO supported Liberal (D) John Kerry over (R) Pres. Bush in the 04 election! What a sellout RINO! Plus SELLOUT Bob Smith has less than $16,000 in the bank and is not even polling! The people are sick and tired of same old D.C. INSIDERS!!! Rubio is the future!

  14. Marco Rubio is a good boy and I will support him when
    he runs for something else. His leap frog jump from the State house to a seat in Congress shows he is leaving out a tract record of experience that Charlie Crist has paid his dues on. Like having served in other public offices in Florida like Attorney Genral and now Governor. Anyone in his right mind needs this experience to go to Washington

  15. Hello all! check pliz
