So if he wants to run for re-election he has no choice but to run as an I. It's not official but I'd say it's pretty much accepted thats whats happening. Unless this Rubio investigation is as bad as some people seem to think it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least to my eyes, this fact was obvious 2-3 months ago. Which is why I asked if it was confirmed. Yeah, the deadline is now approaching, but he could have done that move a couple months ago.

Steve9347 Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Honestly, this country is going to s***, most of our elected officials are children, and the people covering them are even worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Crist isn't running for re-election ChiSox, he's running for senate. I'm not sure how much this helps meeks. I think this will tear away a fair share of lean-dem independents who view him now as a true moderate - which is what everyone claims to love b/c they stop following them after they are elected.

lostfan Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 I argued with some Birthers today on Slate. I don't even know what the f*** they were doing there, it's not exactly their turf, but they came out of the woodwork anyway. I felt the same way I would feel after kicking the s*** out of a 4th grader. Obviously I won easily, but I feel bad for even fighting in the first place because of my massive advantage. But the difference is, a 4th grader doesn't usually deserve to have the s*** kicked out of them. These dudes are fascinating and creepy though... logic, facts, and deductive reasoning carry no traction whatsoever with them. It's not like this is a new phenomenon in political discussions, but they literally make up facts as they go along, if you comprehensively debunk something they claim, they don't admit you debunked it, they just move on to something else. They invent laws and legal precedent out of thin air. It's hilarious. I love the claim that you can't get a passport with a "certificate of live birth" and only the original birth certificate (that Hawaii doesn't even issue anymore, I don't think). One went so far as to say that even Little League won't accept the certificate Obama released. lol, that's funny to me. I have a "certificate of live birth" that my parents specifically ordered in 1994 so I could play in Little League. I used that same non-valid piece of paper to join the military, obtain a security clearance, work for the government, etc. Oh and to get a passport. Right. But it's not valid.

BigSqwert Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 I find it funny how the Tea Party paints Obama as a socialist, fascist, communist, etc. even though if this were 1978 his policies would equal that of a moderate Republican. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no such thing as socialism "on our political spectrum." There's a political spectrum and everyone fits on it as such. American conservatives don't define political ideologies.
