by Michael C. Bender | February 27th, 2010Neither Gov. Charlie Crist nor former Speaker Marco Rubio mentioned the other by name at the forum this morning in Miami, but the target of their barbs was unmistakable.

CharLIE says he can be trusted with the public’s money even when they are not looking! What about the $250 MILLION Crist, McCollum and Sink (SUNK) in their donors New York city now bankrupt and all the money gone?? Yes! $250 MILLION DOLLARS gone from the Florida State Retirement system! They don’t care because the taxpayers have to replace it if the fund becomes short!
Charlie Crist, the only time you lie is when your lips are moving or after you just got done wallering one around in your mouth!

Demlican, Jeb Bush was the jerk that invested the Florida State money in junk bonds, not Crist. Your just a Rubio a$$ kisser.

Tim W. – You’re on the wrong subject. I am not talking about Jeb Bush or Rubio. What I am talking about is Crist, McCollum and Sink sitting on the board of investment for Florida funds including the Florida State Employee monies. The three of these stooges invested $250 Million of State retirement funds on a NYC apartment complex of donors which is now bankrupt and the funds are gone forever. Now, I am not a Rubio ass kisser or anyone else’s. The facts mam, just the facts like Joe Friday. (I doubt you were even in diapers when Joe Friday was on TV.) By the way how much does CharLIE pay you little bloggers or does he just feel of your legs?

Who writes these headlines. This one sounds like both the super right wing Rubio and the middle of the road Crist took a swipe at the evangelical fascist Christian Family Coalition. Now that would have been a story worth reading.

Trust? Charlie, come on. A whole bunch of us are still trusting you to make our property taxes and insurance drop like a rock. Remember when you said that? We’re still here trusting, but you ain’t delivering. At least Rubio tried to do away with property taxes, but you and the big spending Republicans in the Florida Senate stopped him. Remember that? Trust indeed. Chuckles why should we trust you anymore?

Peter T – At least we can tell CharLIE ain’t been playing with your because if he had you would be at least able to spell his name correctly. Charlie CRIST is not CHRIST by any means. When Charlie’s Greek Grandfather dropped the long name he chose CRIST. If you are going to support CRIST in his sickness and take his money to spin off his lies the least you can do is learn to spell his name correctly. Again its CRIST and he can not hold a candle for JESUS CHRIST. Put that in your pipe and smoke it sucker!

Mr. Rubio, Roe v. Wade isn’t on my mind right now. SPENDING! That’s what it is all about. All I’ve heard is you’re the best thing since sliced bread. Don’t take your eye off the ball. If you are elected, it is because of what you will do for the important issues. I realize you have to suck up to the religious right, but Roe v. Wade is number 536 in a list of 537 things to do.

Rubio is a breath of fresh air. Enough of the RINOs and enough of mealy mouth politicians like Crist and McCain. Rubio is someone I look forward to voting for in November.

Governor and CFO have no backgroung in accounting and investment. They should not have been the appointed trustees of the state worker’s retirement fund. Nevertheless the Union still supports them and nobody else. To bad, to sad for the empoloyees.

I am running for US Congress, FLA District 7 against Mica. I was originally with Coopers & Lybrand in New York and then went with a client company as financial officer for a London traded company. I have a very strong financial back ground and common sense.
I have done some detail review of Mica’s millions, campaign contributions, bills, ear marks and voting record. He panders to big business. There is nothing for the working class and I feel I could do a job representing the working class and set new standards for representitives.
I would be grateful if you could help me with facts that I could use in my campaign or take a more aggressive role in helping me, e.g. a lecture series. My cell number is 305-778-7779. The only way to beat Mica is with the working class vote.

The problem is that most of you people are “IDIOTS”! If you voted for the law to lower your property taxes then you are 100% negligent for NOT doing your homework. You only saw dollar signs and did not dig deep enough to know this would cost you “way more” in the long run. Don’t blame the politics, blame yourself for “NOT” doing your homework!

ALEX MCBRIDE-SINK was the treasurer for pension fund investments for Florida.
The FL pension fund LOST mucho money.
Smart and with-it counties SAW before MCBRIDE-SINK was aware of the losses coming and WITHDREW their money.
Sink, former Bank of America EXECUTIVE FAILED to monitor the situation,while other counties SAW it coming.

Remember when NONE OF THE ABOVE was a common multiple choice question selection? It would seem the modern political ballot should contain it as well.
This might be a good way for political parties to select worthy candidates instead of the constant scum and professional politicians who use masses of corporation dollars to finance their campaigns.
Here is my proposal.
SAMPLE BALLOT
For United States Senator from Florida (Vote for one)
{ } Charlie Crist
{ } Marco Rubio
{ } None of the above
If 50% of the voters select NONE OF THE ABOVE, the election is considered null and the process is started over again.
Incentives: Political parties may be more selective when picking candidates to finance.
Just a humble thought from my humble abode.

MARCO RUBIO’S PILLAGING, OF THE GOP TREASURY,IN FINANCING HIS CAMPAIGN,PROVES HE’S NOT ONLY, ‘TO THE EXTREME RIGHT OF ATILLA THE HUN’,BUT CAN’T BE TRUSTED, TO BE A ‘FRUGAL KEEPER OF THE KEYS’,OF BOTH FLORIDA’S, AND THE U.S.TREASURY!

When a politician begins an alliance with a group such as the Christian Family Coalition, the warning bells begin to ring. As a Christian, I am very upset that these types of organizations are what most Americans consider a Christian to be.
Marco Rubio is the political spawn of Jeb Bush, complete with arrogance and deference to the needs of the people of the state. Let’s not forget that Jeb was flown around the state on an Enron jet, a company he later invested our state retirement dollars in.
It amazes me that conservatives use alleged Christian values as a platform to campaign on. How someone feels about Roe vs. Wade is irrelevant to how I will vote. Don’t like Abortion? Don’t get one. Don’t believe in gay marriage? Don’t get one.

Crist is a “liar” and Rubio is the same they can’t help it. They are career politician and Bull**it artists.
99% of all politicians are liars and thieves.

When people have their foundation repaired, they typically opt to take on other home repairs at the same time. These services often include pest control, earthquake proofing, and the installation of seismic anchor bolts. These services will cost you more money; however, it will allow you to have all the necessary services done at one time instead of at different times.
