Its called open primaries.

I also find it funny that YOU knock RHINOS as though your a conservative.You were the guy calling for Caroline Kennedy to be named as the senator of New York by Patterson and then added that she could eventually be a vice presidential candidate.Im not sure if that position allows you to be the guy who should dictate who conservatives nominate.

240 is a not a conservative or a libertarian.  He is a liberal who likes guns.

"Other then Ron Paul who was the conservative running last time?We havent had a conservative candidtate since Reagan."

Ron Paul Duncan Hunter, Thompson, Brownback, Tancredo and Gilmore were all far right conservatives who were deemed "unelectable" very quickly.

FOX kept telling us the other candidates, all RINOs, were viable.  Rudy, Mitt, huck and Mccain.

You do the math.  In a nation where the majority of candidates call themselves conservatives, and in a party where the primary voters are more conservative than the swing voters.  WHY?

Cause they all watch FOX.  You think it's any coincidence the last 4 standing (in primaries of more conservative voters) were the 4 libs in the race? 

Sheesh, did you even watch the 2007 repub primaries BILLY?

A top House Republican to endorse Rubio
Posted: April 20th, 2010

From CNN Political Editor Mark Preston

Washington (CNN) - House Minority Whip Eric Cantor Tuesday will endorse Marco Rubio for Senate, the latest high profile Republican to do so in recent days, two GOP sources familiar with the announcement confirm to CNN.

The endorsement comes as many national Republicans believe that the one-time front runner for the Republican Senate nomination in Florida, Gov. Charlie Crist, will run an independent bid for the open seat. Recent polling indicates that Rubio, the former Florida House Speaker, leads Crist in the GOP primary by double digits.

"We are a nation at a crossroads, and we need responsible leadership in Washington," Cantor is expected to say in his endorsement. "Marco Rubio is just the type of leader our country needs and will make an excellent Senator for the State of Florida."

On Monday, the chief strategist for the National Republican Senatorial Committee told GOP allies it is his belief that Crist will leave the GOP primary. The NRSC had endorsed Crist, but was prepared to shift its backing to Rubio.

Cantor, a congressmen from Virginia, is considered to be a rising star in the party. His endorsement is another sign that the Republican establishment is embracing Rubio's candidacy, which has been fueled in the past year by conservative, grass roots activists.

Of course 240 and Lurker like Crist.  He is a lib at heart like they are.

Hmmmm,did they stay in and fight to the end?Its funny,the dems had fairly moderate guys running but chose the farthest left wing guy EVER in the history of politics,that doesnt bother you.

Now lets look at the guys.Thompson got in incredibly late and campaigned as though he were a corpse.

Brownback is no more conservative then McCain and had ZERO personality.

Tancredo was a one trick pony only talking of immigration and doing it poorly as well.

Hunter and Gilmore?Dont remember them even being there.

Ron Paul?Well I voted for him in the primary.Did you?I sent him money ,did you?I know you claim you voted for Bobb BARR WHO IS AS FAR AWAY FROM RON PAUL AS POSSIBLE one every social issue there is from the war on  drugs and everything else,so I dont see how you could vote for him after being a Paul voter when he was no different then McCain on every issue other then the war.So,if you voted for Barr you voted for Obama,which once again disqualifies you from conservative talk.

Once again,the republicans havent had a true conservative running since Reagan and that includes Paul.

McCain: I won't support Crist if he runs as an Independent candidate ("I support Republicans")
The Hill, Washington, DC ^ | 2010-04-20 | Molly K. Hooper

Posted on Tuesday, April 20, 2010 2:07:28 PM by rabscuttle385

Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) said Tuesday he will not support Florida Gov. Charlie Crist (R) in his Senate race if he runs as an Independent.

Crist, who helped McCain win Florida in the 2008 presidential GOP primary, has recently indicated he is mulling an Independent bid. McCain has backed Crist, but made it clear Tuesday that his endorsement will not stand if Crist is not the Republican candidate.

Asked if he will support Crist as an Independent, McCain told The Hill, "No."

Pressed further, McCain said, "I support Republicans."

Oh so McCain is now the voice of reason?

[Soul Crusher]

He is fending off a charge from the right. 

[BM OUT]

Where was this MccAIN when he ran against Obama.His swing to the right is sad and pathetic and its especially sad that he waited until after the presidential run to do it.

[240 is Back]

mmcain was something like 56% compared to conservative average for the last 3 years - then jumped to 90% conservative voting record this year.

People say "why do you hate McCain"?The day I started hating him was when he tried to ban the UFC.What a fucking dick.The EXACT opposite of a conservative.

[240 is Back]

Crist made up his mind.  Should be interesting.

[Benny B]

I think at that point, he is primed to be the PERFECT 2012 candidate for president.

let's face it, you repubs tend to talk about how much you love freedoms and the constitution.  Then, when primary time rolls around, you put up three RINOs like Mccain, Romney, and Rudy (all with histories of liberal positions and actions).  When a true conservative like Ron paul arises, you let FOX shit on him, and obediently nod your head when they say "he's just not viable!"  

Your 2012 frontrunners?  Lib Romney.  Lib Palin (sorry, she supports amnesty, capping emissions, and the bailout, and says Romney and Steele are just peachy!)  Lib Scott Brown?  They're all the big "viable" names, right?    Ignore guys like Thune and barbour - FOX gives them a fraction of the time they give the RINOs, let's admit it.  We saw it in 2008 when they ust gave all the airtime to the RINOs.  Guys like Tancerdo and Thompson - ignored.

So anyway, back to my point... if Crist runs as an independent, then he'll be a lt gov, gov, and senator... very well spoken, coming from a key state and owning a history of moderate positions and working across the aisle.  People on the left like him and would vote anti-obama at him.  Repubs will vote in the RINO that Hannity tells them he likes best, let's be honest.

If Crist runs in Nov 2010 and wins the Senate job, I say he could win that 2012 nod and beat Obama.

Blah, blah, blah...What happened to your "great" pick of Huntsman? 









Your posts are a waste of bandwidth.

[Soul Crusher]

Of every poster here I can safely say that 240 posts far better material on his worst day than you do on your best.  I have my issues w 240 for sure but you are just a pofs kneepadding Cun*

[bigdumbbell]

does he caucus with the republican conference or the democrat conference?

[JohnC1908]

Crist is done. It's laughable that anyone thinks he has a snowball's chance in hell. Also if he even attempted the presidency he would be laughed out of the building.

He has deep connections to a Bush. (not the female bush) Strike 1

He's queer which would be uncovered fairly quickly when running for prez. Strike 2

Nobody in Florida likes him, he's going to lose his senate race. Strike 3.

The dude is a joke and everyone down here knows it.
