Eric, You are so quick to label your Republican candidates as "libertarian-leaners" yet you never seem to be so loose with the definition when dealing with Democrats.
Others here have already pointed to Charlie Crist's own record, which clearly has problems with being called libertarian-leaning. He is running as a conservative, the only think that makes him look "libertarian-leaning" is when you compare him to the theocratic authoritarians that dominate the Republican Party today. When you use quotes when calling his running mate a free marketeer libertarian, are you quoting yourself? Because I haven't seen anyone else refer to Jeff Kottkamp in that way. He's been called conservative by most newspapers: http://www.miami.com/mld/miamiherald/15513431.htm "Kottkamp's selection also may provide a buffer for Crist, who has come under fire from conservatives for rhetoric that appears to be soft on abortion and supportive of civil unions for gays. Kottkamp ''is a very wise and stable choice,'' said Rep. Dennis Baxley, an Ocala Republican who is among the most outspoken conservatives in the Legislature. ``I think he does help give some comfort to many of us who know he has a heart for social conservative issues.'' Kottkamp voted in favor of the governor's effort to pass a law to reinsert the feeding tube of brain-damaged Terri Schiavo -- an effort that Crist did not support." And Eric, I haven't seen any poll recently showing Harris gaining momentum. She's in the low thirties. You're being delusional, but that's not new. <><> Logan Ferree --- In [email protected], "Eric Dondero Rittberg" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > What the writer doesn't tell you is that Charlie Crist, Republican > candidate for Governor, and a solid libertarian-leaner who just > appointed a "free marketeer libertarian" as his running mate, is > polling over 20 points ahead of the Democrat Jim Davies. > > Florida is now a solidly Republican state.
