Charlie Crist picks his personal stooge for Senate seat [View All]

Ok Ladies and gents, why am I posting this to the General Discussion forum?

First off, we just saw a Senate seat handed to someone who has never been elected to any office. If the Democrats tried that, there would be blood. Hell, they did not like the fact Al Franken actually WON an Election.

Second, he is already planning to fight Obama on Healthcare.

Third, this fellow has already promised not to run against Crist, thus ensuring Crist does not have to fight an incumbent for the seat. This bastard is using a stooge to ensure he gets a Senate seat for himself.

But last, and far from least, we need to be careful of Crist. He is a master of playing the "I am not like those mean scary GOP types, I am a moderate." It helps that Jeb is an enemy of his, and that for years, he was accused of being Gay, and therefore was made a target by the Jesus freaks. He will shamelessly try to use this to appear like a "nice" GOP. DO NOT FALL FOR THIS! as Madfloridian can tell you, his actual POLICY is a libertarian wet dream! He actually cut school budgets more than Jeb did! He is exactly the sort that the GOP might be depserate enough to put up in 2012!
