You think you know where Crist stands on immigation? You are fooling yourself. If you look at his record, Crist stands on whichever side of any issue it is expedient to stand on to get maximum votes as he seeks the NEXT higher office. A weathervane is more consistent. That is why no one can rely on him, his word or his “promises”.

“Our tent needs to expand to include those who support conservative ideals encompassing constitutionaslly supported legislation, free markets, limited government and restraiend balanced budget spending.”

These issues are not the litmus test used by many in our party. The true tests are immigration, abortion, marriage laws and religion.

Chad,
I was only hoping for Sharon to comment about the recent RPOF ordeal and just touch on what the RNC is up to, that’s all.

Sharon is a nice lady who for over six minutes said nothing other than we are going to have a nice primary.

Her idea of The Republican Party being more “inclusive” indicates were are not. I object to that idea. The GOP has been nearly destroyed over the “Big Tent” ideals. Our tent needs to expand to include those who support conservative ideals encompassing constitutionaslly supported legislation, free markets, limited government and restraiend balanced budget spending. Today the GOP is simply a party of Democrat lite. No, we don’t need “diversity” we need to bring conservatives home. The more the foolish leadership of the RNC/RPOPF tties to be socialistic to attract Progressives, the more irrelevent they make themselves.

Javier, I’m not sure what it was you were hoping for in this interview, but I suspect you didn’t get it.

Who is this “WACO” DICK Farrell? He sounds just like his WACO SELLOUT candidate(R)Bob Smith who endorsed LIBERAL(D)John Kerry over President Bush in the 04 election!

Rubio seems like he is the guy but I do not trust him on immigration one bit. If amnesty passes then that alone will be the most catastrophic thing that could happen to this country besides a nuclear attack. We all know where Crist stands so he’s not even an option. If Rubio is elected then the “immigration hawks” will have to be on top of him day and night to make sure that he stays true to stopping amnesty.

Sharon Day would have been a good chairman and for sure Thrasher will be a great improvement over Greer. Those of us who advised against donating to the party over the past few years have been proven correct. We should give to the deserving candidates directly and to trusted groups like the Club for Growth to have confidence that our funds are not wasted.
The commentators above that strayed from the subject by bringing up the Crist-Rubio race by throwing in the weird Kerry supporter, Bob Smith, simply don’t realize that it is a Crist-Rubio race and the several other gadflies on ego trips are irrelevant. There is no perfect candidate –Ronald Reagan was the closest in my lifetime and Jeb is up there, too—so we pick the closest to our principles. Rubio has the backing of most conservative leaders while Crist is backed by so-called moderates. You want a conservative, low tax, fewer regulations and more personal responsibility type, go for Rubio; you want go along, get along guy to whom reelection is Job #1, go for Crist. Can you guess who I’m voting for?

The speech given At Jacksonville Beach and his willingness to answer questions straight foward assured me I am supporting and voting for the correct person.
Marco Rubio is the Fresh look we need in Washington.
The vote you cast in November should be only after we each have assured ourselves the canidate has been fully vetted and any Incumbent who has served eight years or more should be re-elected only after we have proven they are worthy and no equal or better person is running or can be found and willing to run.
Term limits start at the ballot box we need to start this exercise November 2010.

Hey DICK,

Speaking of letters, how about that letter of endorsement he wrote to John Kerry back in 2004? You know the letter where he endorsed Kerry over Bush. Your candidate is part of the old guard, Rubio is the future of the party.
