Key tea party group FreedomWorks endorses Hasner in Senate race
by George Bennett | July 18th, 2011
Hasner
FreedomWorks, the Washington-based group that has played a key role in advising and organizing the tea party movement, is
endorsing former state House Majority Leader Adam Hasner in the 2012 GOP Senate primary after finding “overwhelming” support for Hasner among its Florida members.
The endorsement from FreedomWorks PAC comes as the Hasner camp seeks to define the four-candidate GOP Senate primary as Round Two of the Marco Rubio-Charlie Crist 2010 GOP primary. With Mike Haridopolos dropping out today, Hasner adviser Rick Wilson called chief Hasner rival George LeMieux “the original Charlie Crist Republican.”

Nope, I won’t vote for Hasner. It will be LeMieux.
Hasner the typical ‘Boca’ person.

Good for LeMieux. That means we all know where Hasner stands. Hasner was useless as House Representative. Why is it that the most useless politicians always run for higher office?

I have so much respect for Adam’s hard work as a state legislator. We was always available to talk about issues, even if he didn’t agree with me. I appreciate that he stood on his principles. Last thing we need is another OBAMA who will just say what we want to hear.

Adam Hasner is representative of South Florida’s condo association. He is jewish and S FL has too many jewish candidates and not enough black or latino candidates.
We’re tired of the same old, same old.

If the Tea Party is backing him, I made up my mind. I’ll vote for whoever runs against him. Grouping him with Rick Scott, Sarah Palin, and Donald Trump tells me everything I could ever want to know about him. Duh!
