"National Republicans are throwing their weight behind Charlie Crist." - First Read

===============================================
Too bad GOP doesn't have much weight to spare these days . . . oh wait . . . I forgot Rush lives in Florida . . . nevermind! :)

But hey, if you can't beat 'em, pretend to join 'em, right?

Why not just let Rush Limbaugh run . . . he's such a smart, conservative visionary! *winky, wink*

"I am pleased today to endorse Governor Charlie Crist for the United States Senate," said John Cornyn, chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, in a statement"

Gov Crist, run as fast as you can from the likes of Cornyn. His endorsement means NOTHING! He should be looking out for his own hide/job. Think about it, Silly Sarah endorsed Hairspray Perry!

Hey, Steeless, Ann CoulterGiest on Fix News said "the hardest thing in the world is to be a Black Repuke". Better get out Steel, while the getting is good, and take Ron Christie, and Joe "Reverend" Watkins, with ya'

Corny Cornyn's worthless recommendation just means the evil elephants are desperate to win any Senate seat. It's rather obvious that the ex governor would have more name recognition than rubio. Now we'll see idiot steele backtrack on withholding RNC money from someone who supported the stimulus, as Crist was intelligent enough to accept all of the money without whining. I'm sure idiot steele will say it was all prelanned and strategic or some such nonsense.

This is great! The moderate republicans are going to beat the real conservatives in the primaries. So it will be a moderate R V. a democrat in almost all of these races. So even whan we loose we win.

If the conservatives Republicans win these primaries then even better because they will lose the generals election. The senate keeps getting better and better for the democrats.

Yea for pro-stimulus, pro-choice republicans.

Notice how Republicans are backing away from the hate and Limbaugh when they run Senators

They have to present a 'non Extremist' face...

How convenient for Dick Cheney to pick Limbaugh over Colin Powell. Talk about loyalty? How loyal was Powell? Some believe too loyal. And he did pay a price for this. So he's of no use to Cheney any longer.

But Limbaugh, now there's a catch for Cheney. He now has someone with a huge audience defending him. Brilliant. Joe Scarborough too.

This folks is which our media has become in some instances. I hope Keith Olbermann, John Dean, Jonathan Turley, Lawrence O'Donnell, Rachel Maddow and Ed Schultz continue raising holy hell.

All well and good, but given Crist's position on the stimulus, will boss Limpbaugh lighten up, and confer his blessings upon Crist's candidacy? If not, Crist will never make it out of the primaries. After all, he's obviously a liberal who doesn't even belong in the party (if you call that a party).

Hey eagle1776 - Sorry if I offend you when I attack the LDS church but my Daughter and 2 Granddaughters had the misfortune of living in Salt Lake City for a few years. Never have they lived in a place that was so prejudiced against non Mormons. I was rather pissed when my Granddaughters would tell me they had few if any friends because their Mormon neighbors farbade their brats from playing with non LDS kids. Try telling the LDS crowd to stop persectuing non LDS folks why don't you? Anyway like your posts, keep up the great work. When the religipous freaks stop persecuting us nontheists we'll stop trashing them.

It's so funny watching how impotent steele is to bring change to the irrelevant elephant party. Soon he'll be replaced and I'll be waiting to hear him say it was his grand plan.

Congrats to Crist but it looks like this gives Dems another opportunity to put the GOP on the spot. Crist taking over an already GOP seat..spurring an ideological battle btw Florida conservatives and the RNC...in addition to making the governor seat competitive. This will be THE race to watch if Rubio stays in.

Governor Crist is at least a sane and gracious person.
Anybody see Liz Cheney flapping her mouth on "Morning (sans) Joe" this AM? She has a right to defend her father, and she seems intelligent and articulate, but what is again so sad about most Pubs is that they are in deep denial. Mika, as usual, trying to be "balanced" but it was a disaster - Cheney never let Eugene Robinson finish a sentence...which is a clear indication that the whole Cheney family is scared silly.

Don't have to read history books. I suggest your the one that needs to read as for torture in NAZI Germany as it was not soley based on religion! You did not answer the question as usual for Repukes! As for touturing to save lifes, it has been proven time after time information gained from torture produces more false information than true information. You must be one who believes that we were not safe unless we torture people as in afraid of the boogie man. As for torturing to save my family, if I am in that situation, they are already dead. If you like torture then you would not mind if the local police stop you and beat the crap out of you just to gain information they think you might have! Get a clue and do some reading on history and how and why those things happened in the first place. Something called complacency.

But who does Rush Limbaugh endorse? Once we hear from the crowned GOP leader, the troops will fall in line, backtrack, apologize and leave Crist in the dust-despite the fact that this is a HUGE opportunity for the GOP. The right-wingers will endorse Rubio because they are worried Crist will be another moderate like Senator Snowe (he might actually agree with Pres. Obama and try to compromise from time to time-how dare he!) This Moderate Republican endorses Crist because he is the anti-extreme right wing voice. Hold your ground (don't turn in to a Neocon for a few Palin fans!) and best of luck, Gov. Crist!

Your same history books also stated I was less than human because of my ethnicity. If you believe that many people died horrific, senseless deaths, made to live like animals because they believed in Jehovah you're crazy.

Why do you continue to imply that 'who' you have has the answer? That torture is the only way to extract the possible information? And, how do you know the 'perishing' is going to happen at all?

In this type of scenario we know what we are told. "Saving" lives isn't an intent that is owned only by a particular group. Hell, I want to save lives, but that doesn't mean I can have law enforcement wait at the front of every place that serves alcohol in the country and then arrest all for being drunk, simply because I claim that some drunk some where will kill someone because they are drunk so I'm therefore pre-empting such deaths by arresting them now. What in the world do you have laws for if you can't even follow them?

The correct rebutt to DJ's comment is torture violated America's ideals and stature around the world, thus creating even more propaganda for terrorists, and diminishing our effectiveness of military cooperation in Afghanastan and Iraq. Plus, torture often results in innacurate information given in desperation, that could otherwise been attained (and most likely more accurately) through normal methods of interrogation. I would rather take Johm McCain's account over DJ's.
