Listen to Greer’s conference call
by Michael C. Bender | January 5th, 2010Republican Party of Florida Chairman Jim Greer said this afternoon he will resign effective Feb. 20. Some background on his recent troubles here.
“This distractions and attacks on each other within the party is not what we should be doing. These individuals who have turned their guns on fellow Republicans instead of focusing our efforts on defeating Democrats have done nothing to serve our party. But at the end of the day the future of the party must come first.”
Listen to the conference call here. (Questions start at the 11:10 mark)

“But at the end of the day the future of the party must come first.”
Um, I always thought the needs of your constituents was supposed to come first. Politicians like this need to be voted out of office. what an 4sshole.

Dear Mr.Finger,
Greer is not an elected official or a politician. He’s the Chairman of the Republican Party of Florida.
Nevertheless I suppose you can go ahead and vote him out of something. But that would require you to figure out the butterfly ballot, huh? Thanks for eight years of history’s worst president.

Mr. Greers last line is indigative of how many politicians, from both parties, feel. That is, “What’s good for the party, is good for the country.” Unfortunatly,they don’t realize the opposite is true. If you follow the news for a day, his comment becomes glaringly obvious!

Thank you Mr Greer! Some of the previous posters obviously do not know anything aboout politics which is how we got Obama in office. Mr. Greer regardless of spending and cigars and trips and waste of RPOF monies committed the unpardonable sin of not treating all state candidates equally and in fact threatening some who wanted to run such as Charles Bronson who wanted to run for Governor that they would received no support from the RPOF and annointing McCollum and Crist with a promary election. Now that he is effectively gone lets get on with the job of supporting all Republican candidates, kkep our state noses out of local races such as Sheriff’s and Commissioners and do the right thing instead of the back room deal making.
Again, thank you! Mr Greer and good luck with the rest of your life.

I’m not necessarily fond of Mr Greer’s “quitter” mentality, but am always appalled at the lack of linguistic erudition liberals evince. Misspellings, poor punctuation, and egregious grammatical errors litter the pages of Socialist websites. If this is the party of intellectuals, then our educational system is in dire straits, indeed.
