You have a very sharp clear line where EVERYTHING Bush did was good and EVERYTHING Obama did was bad. An example of another patently obvious falsity posted by you...why must you pinheads lie so much?

Oops! During a purge, not only is your voting record important but so are the people you call a friend. So many new rules.....its hard to keep up! GOP insurgent challenges Brown-Waite, cites her Scozzafava support U.S. Rep. Ginny Brown-Waite's support for New York Republican Dede Scozzafava's doomed campaign is emerging as an issue in the Brooksville Republican's re-election. Republican Jason Sager, a political neophyte from Brooksville, filed to run against Brown-Waite in 2010, telling the Times' Tony Marrero that he stands for conservatives concerned about a government that has strayed from the principles of the Founding Fathers.Sager said he was concerned about Brown-Waite's support for Scozzafava. The congresswoman, an Albany, N.Y. native, refused to answer questions about why she went to New York to campaign for Scozzafava just days before the state lawmaker dropped from the race and endorsed the Democrat. But in an interview last week, Brown-Waite said Scozzafava was being unfairly attacked and had a solid Republican record. Edit. That's right, girl, plead the 5th....don't admit a thing! blogs.tampabay.com

Dang! They are looking to crucify Crist! Didn't we already do that 2000 years ago??? Club for Growth Cuts Anti-Crist Ads By John McArdle \| November 5, 2009 1:00 PM \| The anti-tax group the Club for Growth said Thursday that it is ready to air a television commercial in Florida that hits Gov. Charlie Crist for endorsing the stimulus bill -- one day after the governor said in a CNN interview that he never backed the $787 billion spending legislation. The ad uses video from a Crist appearance with President Barack Obama in February during which the governor talks about the importance of passing the stimulus package. "Since Charlie Crist helped pass Barack Obama's spending program, nearly 200,000 Floridians have lost their jobs. Unemployment is the highest in decades. Personal income's down. And the deficit in Washington is three times larger," a narrator says in the ad. "Tell Gov. Crist to work on fixing Florida's economy, not passing more debt to our children." Crist has worked to distance himself from Obama and the stimulus as he comes under increasing fire from his right flank in his Senate primary against Florida's former state House Speaker Marco Rubio. Crist said on Wednesday that while he didn't endorse the bill earlier, he knew that the spending measure was going to be passed by Congress and wanted to use it to benefit Florida. "Crist embraced the stimulus, and Florida's economy has suffered for it," Club for Growth President Chris Chocola said in a news release Thursday. "The Club for Growth's ad sets the record straight." The group has yet to endorse a candidate in the Crist-Rubio primary, which appears to be tightening, according to the latest polls. But if the group endorses at all in the race, it is certain to cast its lot with Rubio, who is picking up support from key conservatives across the country. The Club for Growth demonstrated in upstate New York that its financial muscle can make a difference for candidates; it spent more than $1 million on advertising, mail and bundled donations on behalf of the Conservative Party's nominee for an open House seat -- a blitz that the Republican nominee, Dede Scozzafava referenced as among the reasons she quit campaigning before Election Day. As for Florida, it would be unusual for any organization to invest a lot of money in attack ads this many months before the August primary. The group's spokesman, Michael Connolly, would not provide details on the size of the TV buy or where the spot would be airing.
