ORIGINAL: Sanity They said Rubio of Florida was unelectable, now hes in the lead 'Unelectable' Rubio opens 14-point lead over Crist... Now its O'Donnell who is "unelectable" but guess what: CASH POURS IN FOR O'DONNELL; $500,000 IN ONE DAY... Another thing, recall all the Leftist claims that the Tea Partyrs were just another arm of the Republican Party? Well tat lies been laid to rest as O'Donnell is by no means the Republican establishment choice for Delaware. Now the spin is that the Tea Party is tearing the Republican Party apart... The truth is, the Tea Party is tearing politics as usual apart, and no establishment politician is safe. I hate to break it to you Sanity, but Rubio is a republican I would vote for. So if you consider me the left, consider that...and Rubio. Crist abandoned his own party (which was republican) to get a strategic win. While I am an independent I hardly think changing parties in the midst of your career for the sake of a win is a strategically good thing to do. Kinda right up there with quitting your job as State governor to write books and make speeches, if you get my drift. And here's my spin (or opinion) on it. The republicans hated losing power to the democrats so badly that they romped and stomped and whined and cried and pointed fingers enough to rear the sleeping head of a monster (enter the Tea party). Everyone still wants the democrats out, but now, the republicans still can't get in because of the hype they've generated. It'll be interesting indeed to see how this plays out. For what its worth, I'm with Elisabella on most all of her points. I trust the tea partiers less than any other party. Their logic doesn't make sense to me. And most times, I don't even think they have a specific logic other than no taxes and less gov't. While I am not for big, booming gov't, I think an establishment is necessary to avoid becoming a country like Afghanistan or Somalia. They don't pay much (or anything) in taxes and there is little to no gov't so chaos reigns. Its not how I would want to live.
