Charlie Crist (D) opens up about his former party (the GOP), and about Gov Rick Scott (R)

I hope Florida Gov Rick Scott (the Medicare fraud criminal) loses, or we in Florida will be SO screwed again.

nationally, because of nationwide gerrymandering. And the paper is very mainstream and I would actually say a bit to the right.

But gerrymandering and voter suppression is what you do when you think the country is under the control of some out of control, foreign born Muslim that is filled with rage against the US and you want to "win your country back."

These people have declared war on Obama's America, as they call it, and all is fair in war. They have shown again and again there is nothing NOTHING they will not do or say to to achieve their ends..except they have not resorted to violence...yet.

They will tear down the house in order to rule over the ruins.

They know who has the spending money to buy ads. They are not about to bad mouth their best customers.

As for Crist... can't see the vids, but we as Democrats should be making big news out of a former opposition party Governor turning to the Democratic Party.

they never mentioned Rick Scott's criminal past. Perhaps I missed it.

I doubt that channel 9 (ABC) news ever mentioned it. They are blatantly pro Republican

so it isn't strongly Republican as a whole. I wouldn't dare put up a pro Democrat sign in my neighborhood, though.

He had more.

If his neighbors don't like a 92 year old man putting up a Democrat yard sign for a few weeks every four years they are gonna HATE when I move in there.
