Rubio marks half-year anniversary of Crist-Obama stimulus rally

by George Bennett | August 10th, 2009

In case Republican primary voters have forgotten that Gov. Charlie Crist stood with Democratic President Obama in Fort Myers to promote a $787 billion Democratic stimulus package, Crist’s GOP Senate primary rival Marco Rubio notes that today is the half-year anniversary of the event.

Rubio plans to campaign in Fort Myers and Naples today “to highlight the stimulus’ failure to stimulate Florida’s economy, to address the culture of reckless spending in Washington and to discuss solutions he will pursue in the U.S. Senate to control federal spending.”

    I will be supporting Mr Rubio…..Mr Crist has been a major disappointment….a Republican in name only, he does not represent the average conservative in FL. Go Mr Rubio….those of us who are for responsible government are behind you.

    Go Marco!!

    Finally, a politican who articulates the truth.

    It should be called the the Pork-ulus bill, and it will not stimulate the economy.
