The American Spectator : The Spectacle Blog : Crist Caught in Act

Text Size

Red State's Erick Erickson caught the Crist folks in the act of an anonymous sneak attack against Marco Rubio. This comes within a week of Erick tracing some ethically dubious financial dealings of DeDe Scozafava. Gee, if Erick can do all that from Macon, GA while also serving as a city councilman there, why the hell can't outfits like the New York Times and CBS, with hundreds upon hundreds upon hundreds of reporters, ever break stories like these? Anyway, hats off to Erick. And shame on Crist (and Scozzafava). What IS it with RINOs facing unexpected challenges from the right?

Oh, please you all. Stop.

Rifqa Bary was desported to Ohio to face certain death at the hands of her Islamo-Fascist tyranical Jihadist father. Gov. Crist didn't lift a finger to stop her deportation.

You wanna bash Crist. Bash him on something that actually matters, not BS politics. A young girl's life is on the line, thanks to Crist, and all you all can think about is tit-for-tat politics.

My gosh! Grow up.

I don't know the details of the incident you mention, Mr. Dondero, but FYI - a person is not "deported" from one state to another. The correct term is "extradited", and it is difficult to fight legal precedent over a state requesting extradition of one of its own. Further - extradition is only requested and authorized for the purpose of bringing a person who flees a jurisdiction in which a crime was committed BACK to face justice. NO district attorney or judge would sign off on an extradition order for the purpose of returning a person to an individual like a father.

The site in question was up... then it was down... then (after Eric broke this on Red State)... it was up again... sans all incriminating links... sort of... hehehe... Too bad for Charlie that Eric and the folks at Red State know their way around the finer roadways of a computer... Feel free to stop by and find out what the Red State crew is discovering even after the Crist team tossed a blanket over the website.

Crist & Company have potentially broken federal laws by cutting and pasting copywritten articles to this bogus site without the permission of the authors or their respective news outlets. The fact that they took the site down (after their gane was revealed) and scrubbed the site of all mentioned evidence against them leaves a stink in the air.
You can't "bash" Crist over what you think he SHOULD have done as easily as you can nail him for what you can prove he HAS done.

Conservatives in Florida should vote for Marco Rubio----PERIOD! If/until something detrimental is discovered about Rubio that would warrant a vote for Crist, conservatives had better realize that this country is in the toilet due to the current group in charge; and that Rubio represents a new, fresh face that needs to be [should] sent to DC in order tot straighten things out. Wake up, Floridians!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
