Elected officials are chosen by members of their party. The party platform is supposed to mean something to them. In this instance, Governor Crist has demonstrated that he is a RINO (Republican in Name Only) who will do what’s best for himself rather than reducing taxes, reducing the size of government, and closely following the platform of the Republican Party.

Republican Executive Committees do not tell the Governor WHAT to do but they certainly should comment on how he’s doing his job.

Straw polls all over Florida are coming in with very low numbers for Crist. He can raise millions, and a lot of that is outside the state of Florida) but will he be able to buy an election from a bright young proven-conservative like Marco Rubio? I don’t think so.

Sallie – how can an elected official do what’s best for his constituents when his party leaders threaten him with censure should he dare to stray from any party directive? Governor Crist was elected by Floridians to do what’s best for the citizens of Florida – WE DID NOT vote for the Florida GOP to make those decisions. Your censure and that of PB County’s GOP leaders, should they choose to stoop to the same level, will be recognized as badges of courage to voters who value independent thought over lock-step adherence to any political party’s “master plan.”

As the maker of the motion in the Volusia County REC meeting last Saturday, I assure you the intent was not to embarrass Governor Crist. It was to get his attention. Apparently, it did and he doesn’t like it so he blew us off.

This type of arrogance is not acceptable to voters in Governor Crist or any other elected official. We did the e-mail, phones, faxes, etc. and got the same response.

The only course now left to voters is at the ballot box and if the straw polls are any evidence, Mr. Rubio will be our next Senator. Money can’t buy everything when voters are informed on the issues.

Voters now know Governor Crist as a RINO who would rather be in Colorado fundraising than attending a memorial for recently deceased Jim King. We can certainly see where his values lie.

No one could be more disappointed in Governor Crist’s performance as Governor than I. However, I am not alone. REC Volusia took this very courageous action and approved the Motion by a large majority with only 3 nay votes. I look forward to seeing the results of the straw poll in Palm Beach County. I’m sure they will not surprise me.
