Even some Republicans are getting sick of the Romney lies and deceit!
Why is there always money for war, but none for education?

I just read the counter-attack will be as follows:

Working on the theory Crist is trying to become a Democrat, do not play the RINO card, as that helps him in his goal. Instead, play up how strong of a Republican he has been and that he's abandoning his values for political gain.

I'm curious to see if this strategy takes hold.

So. Joe Lieberman endorsed W in 2004. He was still in office and had more to lose than Crist does.

Why, Crist strikes me as being nothing less than a suck ass who is mainly concerned with his own political aspirations.

I do not wish him dead, but if we never heard from him again I think I wouldn't care.

Sorry Abe, but I'm going to have to call you a big fat hypocrite:

Irrelevant question.

Abe's argument in that thread:


Quote:
If members of Obama's team are jumping ship why would voters continue to support him???
What this means is that Immelt's judgment is superior and should therefore affect ours, while Crist's should be completely ignored. If Abe really wants to make the case that Crist's decision was based on political stuff and had nothing to do with his judgment he is welcome to make that point, but he didn't.

This is all pretty a waste of time anyway, we could go back and forth in dozens of threads between now and November about who is supporting who and why while trying to read minds and make a whole lot of assumptions, but ultimately endorsements don't really matter anyway.

You may do as you wish, but you'd be wrong.
