Republican Majority PAC gets behind Rubio
by Michael C. Bender | November 5th, 2009Here’s the latest video from the Republican Majority Campaign of Florida, a 527 political action committee whose parent group raised more than $4 million during 2008 (most of which was spent campaigning for GOP presidential nominee John McCain). You might also remember the group from a fund-raising e-mail they sent earlier this year warning that Congress wanted to give President Obama “total control of the Internet.”
The web video focuses on the Gov. Charlie Crist’s support of the federal stimulus package, the central theme of former House Speaker Marco Rubio’s campaign against Crist in the state’s U.S. Senate Republican primary.
Crist, meanwhile, is attempting to add some nuance to his feelings about the stimulus package. He told CNN last night that he didn’t endorse the proposal and that he “didn’t even have a vote on the darned thing.” Here’s a fact-check of sorts from the Associated Press.
Meanwhile, click here to listen to Crist explain to reporters this morning his seemingly evolving position on the subject.

LOL
Now why would a liberal rag like the PB Post be pushing Marco Rubio so hard and knocking Charlie Crist even harder??
IT WILL NEVER WORK
Charlie Crist will win the primary… Rubio will endorse him… and Charlie will win the general election

The reason Charlie Crist endorsed the stimulus package was to save and develop his political career. The stimulus package prevented him from making the tough decisions and staking his career on it, like raising revenue through taxes instead of hiding it in fees and cutting certain programs and vetoing more pork from the Republican legislature’s budgets. If he did that he would have gone back on his short sighted anti-tax promises including the idiotic Amendment 1 which Marco Rubio also supported. Crist owes this entire opportunity as a viable candidate for Senate to President Obama, make no mistake about it.
Crist though is better than Rubio because despite all the “conservative” talk, it was Crist who slashed $459 million in pork off of Rubio’s 2007 budget.
