The Republican Party of Florida Tries to Rewrite History…Again
There is always a raging debate going on from both sides of the aisle each election year. “We just can’t let them [the other party] win.”
Charlie Crist, likely running for Governor of Florida as a Democrat, is already under attack from the GOP. Legit? Snitker tells us what he thinks. Official Governor photo of Charlie Crist
No matter what the choices are, the other one must be worse. Even if you do not like the candidate you are choosing it is far better than “that one” over there. Year by year we are faced with the same problems and given the same two choices as the solutions only to get ourselves in deeper with the same problems.
Is “that one” really better than this one? For once, I think we can clearly call out the hypocrisy of the false choice dichotomy. In the 2014 governor’s race you will have, Rick Scott (the current Republican) against Charlie Crist (the former Republican).
In a new attack ad against Charlie Crist, the Republican Party of Florida slams the former governor of raising taxes after signing a pledge not to raise taxes on the citizens of Florida. What they forget to spell out in the ad, is that it was the Republican House and the Republican Senate in Tallahassee who put out the proposed budget that was signed by (then Republican) Charlie Crist.
Another great piece of information left out, was the budget signed that year (2009) was $66.5 billion. Their current Republican (and so-called fiscal conservative), Rick Scott, has just signed his budget for 2013 at a resounding $74 billion, raising the budget by nearly $8 billion dollars in the wake of a devastating housing market crash and a struggling-to-survive economy.
In the end, it was the Republican Party of Florida that is responsible for both of these men being in the governor’s mansion. Every veto and signature rests on them. Of course today, they want to make it sound like it was the “evil democrat,” Charlie Crist, that has done these terrible things in office but his only fall from the GOP thrown was the “hug heard ’round the world.”
If the “tan man” Charlie wasn’t such a “hugger” and had not embrace President Obama, he would still be the shinning star of the RPOF. They would still be holding him with high esteem and we may even be hearing rumblings of a 2016 Presidential run on the GOP ticket. Has this one man changed that much since his voter registration card switched letters?
Of course the Democrats have vehemently complained about the Republicans but they have supported these endeavors. Legislation has gone through with little opposition from the Democrat side of the aisle. Both sides have little disagreement and it is theater at best as they pass every bad law with a rubber stamp of approval.
It is time to leave.
