The GOP "Club For Growth"??? LOL!!!!! Oh my, now that's a happenin' endorsement and worthy of substantial media coverage, right CNN?.....

Hopefully he won't follw the wannabe king. Obama. Maybe he won't be like dems. Dems do whatever the choosen one ask of them without question, reading the bill, or asking what the ones who elected them think. Sheeple.

"The endorsement comes weeks after The Club spent upwards of $1 million in a special New York congressional election"

With Millions of Americans losing their homes, jobs and working fewer hours in their struggle to simply survive, giant American Corporations spend millions on their Republican puppets in hopes of getting laws and bills passed by the degenerate Republican lawmakers that generate Billions of dollars into their bottom lines.

Does 'The Club' actually represent The American People? NO

If the average viewer can see thru this man like the faux slippery puppet that he truly is, the Republican Party stands no chance in swaying overwhelming condemnation of them.

Anyone would have to be better than Charlie "got-no-principles" Crist. His little excuse of forgetting he was a republican and siding with Obama because he wanted the federal bucks for his state just doesn't cut it. Sorry Charlie.

Guess a politician cannot be a moderate and be in the Rethuglican Party. One has to be a zealot, preferably a religious one, who for some odd reason thinks their "freedom" is being taken away but they are the ones who want to take away everyone else's "freedoms". They want everyone to think like they do and no one can stray from the party line. Crackpots.

The so-called "Club for Growth" should be called the Club for a Feudalist America.

If anyone doesn't know what feudalism is, look it up. It's what you get when deregulation and "trickle down" economic policies have run their full course.

'good time' charlie crist is a george bush, john mccain, and graham RINO all are actually JFK DEMS.

Crist is what is referred to as an Obama RINO.
he must leave.
a lifetime politician who must be retired.

Continuing the STUPID "trickle down" policies of Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush would be the wrong direction for our country.

40% of Americans have strong morals and values, believe in always being honest, fair, and doing the right thing, they are known as Conservatives.

A Conservative Party that represents these people and the best of America is what the Republican party needs to return to. The party of Reagan, not McCain.

That 40% shoud increase as more Americans reach a moral cross-roads, witnessing Obama's goons like the SEIU beat up African Americans and call them the N word if they think for themselves and escape the evil Democrat party. We must look at what the Democrats have done to Americans in inner cities like Detroit and Chicago, it is nothing short of genocide, and we must face the facts that almost every Democrat in America loves nothing more than to hear about what happened to that honor student in Chicago, they are violent, haters, who want to hold people back for control. The Democrats in America have more blood on their hands than anyone else in the historty of mankind, just look at what has happened in Democrat counties and districts over the last 40 years.

When they say they want economic freedom and limited government they mean they want to replace democratically elected representatives with corporate overlords that only answer to a small group. They are more akin to the club of good ole boys.

The Club for Growth....weren't they backing Doug Hoffman?

Not a very good track record if you ask me.

We need some new leadership to replace that wussie Harry R and the idiot Joe L

The club for growth are the same people that brought you the housing bubble and the s & l crisis. No one should pay attention to anything they say, they are white collar criminal minds.

I'm so waiting for the GOP to actually get a real reality check from the voters......This entire year they've been campaigning against the President. Using fear tactics, bumper sticker slogans, etc....
But no answers for today's pressing problems.....Just more of the same.

Thanks for showing us the way forward, Club for Growths. radical, out of touch right-wing extremists will continue to torpedo moderate Republican candidates. Since most Americans are revolted by the idea of handing over our Democracy to a bunch of crazy Talibangilists, the country is going to look a lot like NY 23rd for the next few years.

I am wating for the Club for Growth's presidential ticket in 2012
"Taitz/Bachman"

The Republican Party needs to have these battles. For too long moderates have infiltrated the party, conning conservatives into thinking that they must negotiate with the Democrat liberals to get things accomplished. Conservatives got lazy and let it happen. The lack of backbone by conservatives got us our socialist president, Barry Obama, and our socialist-controlled House of Representatives. The negotiation is over. Conservatives must regain control of the party if we are ever to rid Washington and the nation of this socialist disease spreading like wildfire.

I am wondering if this backing is an outrage over the movie "OUTRAGE"? What a shame !!

Democrats everywhere should support the Club for Growth and its scion societies in their efforts to disembowel the Republican Party. It's the best way to guarantee Democrat victories in 2010 and beyond.

Watching Republicans eat their own is almost as much fun as watching indicted Tom Delay dance!

Great entertainment!

Thanks fellas!

There is very little so entertaining, rewarding an so profoundly fulfilling, than watching the republicans rip themselves to shreds.

i live in florida, and i have not seen any raise in taxes, in fact what i have seen is a cut in property taxes, which have cut much needed public programs left and right, including our life saving fire, rescue and police. these people who say crist has increased the size of florida's goverment are liars. just ask the newly thousand of unemployed state and local government workers who are now in line at the unemployment office.

people please stop lying.

Tax any church that is affiliated with politics or promotes a political agenda.

We left England to get away from being ruled by churches.

Rubio is committing political suicide, Crist will spank him like a baby.

Successful political parties look for converts. Unsuccessful political parties look for heretics. In its unending search for ideological purity, they GOP is getting rid of anyone moderate enough to actually win an election. It happened in NY-23 and will happen in Florida.

Only 17% of Americans identify themselves as Republicans. Now you know why.

Good. With a little luck, it will be a replay of NY-23 and we'll get a Democrat elected to that seat.

Keep on "purging" those who are not significantly conservative, and the GOP will go the way of the Whigs. Count on it.

As a Democrat I've got to love watching the right wing nut cases tear apart the Republican party.

As a Floridian I will love to have two Democratic Senators once the party of No and Anger purgres itself of all things moderate.

Limbaugh-Palin 2012!

WooHoo!

Oh, and I forgot to mention to Tina that Lincoln, who prayed that the "government of the people, by the people, and for the people shall not perish from the earth" was bitterly opposed by the Conservatives of his time. They said some very very ugly things about him.

We can't blame Conservatism for Lincoln's assassination, but the deranged John Wilkes Booth was certainly not a Liberal – that's for sure.

Once again the systematic political "cleansing" of the GOP by the right-wing fringe continues. The radical religious right and the neocons can't stand to have their perspectives of the world questioned...especially if those questions are coming from inside the GOP. So, as a result, despite the "big tent" philosophy that Ronald Reagan championed in creating the modern Republican Party, the conservative extremists would rather have the party lose election after election....as long as the politics from the GOP is "pure".

Club for Growth has wrecked the Arizona State Legislature- this ought to be bad news for Florida if this guy wins...

Club For Growth + Conservative Candidate = Democratic Win

Not all Republicans are right-wing, ultra-conservative, religious zealots like Limbaugh, Palin & Cheney. Quite a few are moderates who actually look at the issues rather than wait to have Rush tell them what to believe. The ultra-conservatives are only going to end up driving the moderate Republicans, like myself, out of the party & into the realm of the Democrats. If the conservatives continue doing this kind of stuff, it'll be a long time before the Republicans have control of anything in politics in the U.S.

I find it hilarious that these birthers, tea baggers, etc think they will gain anything thru these self-destructive political ploys. Splitting the vote will do nothing but make it easier for Democrats to win even more seats. Of course the zealots will scream even louder and go even further out into the poitical wilderness, led by Fat boy and Caribou Barbie.

The senate is currently 59-41. Lieberman is no longer a Democrat.

What we need are plenty of challenges to RINOs out there! take the gop back from these half breeds like christy and scarzoffova, make those infidels leave until the party is pure and white as the driven snow. Let the tea bagging commence!

When republicans argued who is real Americans I know its coming

Now who is real republican

I am a huge fan of Rubio. Crist is ok, but I've been supporting Rubio. Either guy will trounce the democrate, Meeks. Meeks is a criminal.

And who is this latest dummy ??

I guess Rubio speaks what Club that Growth tells him to speak, that's why Cub that Growth speaks on his behalf.

christ is a loser. hows that better!

No more religious righteous nuts, we've been threw enough here in florida.

Rubio is the real conservative. That christy he's just a RINO! Break out the tea bags, were havin' a party!

Which of these disgraceful psuedo-conservative RINOS we going after next? Get rid of them all!

Great, maybe he'll suffer the same fate as that right-wing clown that crashed and burned in NY district 23, which hasn't elected a Democrat for over 100 years until last week. Keep the wingnuts coming please. The Repugs/Team Hate America clearly need more butt-whipping. And wingnuts living in Real America, please continue to move to Texas.

This guy is clueless if he thinks he will beat Gov Chris he's not red neck enough to win Florida.

Well, the CFG support for Rubio seals it for me...I'M VOTING FOR CRIST!

Why? Because the CFG is nothing but a paid shill and thinly veiled front for the batcrap crazies and Taliban-like evangelical vigilantes that are running the GOP.

To help raise money for the campaign the CFG is now selling bibles, burkas and hijabs autographed by Rubio on their web site...

Why is it bad to say no to a debt that has tripled since the Bamster took over? Why is bad to say no to a health care bill that adds to the deficit? Anyone who believes this is either a Democrat or an unispried thinker, and ignorant of how economics works. You cannot put 40 million on the governemnts dole, and not expect SOMETHING to go up. Whether actual costs to consumers, or a tax, it has to be paid for somehow. For example, when debating Medicare in the late 60's, it was suppose to cost 11 Billion by 1990. Its actual costs were 111 billion, or ten times the expected amount. In 1987, the cost Medicaid was suppose to cost 1 billion by in 1993, in actuallity it cost 17 billion, or 17 times the estimated costs. The two major health entitlements the government has started were suppose to be cheap and suprise suprise, were not. So, if hisotry has taught us anything, it is that the government intervention CANNOT control health care costs. It is ironic that on this day, the day the Berlin Wall came down and freed billions of people, the country most reponsible for the fall of COmmunism is slowly marching down that road

Nice. Although I don't have a huge problem with Crist, I feel as a general rule, the more conservative a politician, the better off America is.

Continue....if you don't believe me just go to Tampa, they have their Confederate Flag hagging in all the main areas instead of the American Flag. When I see this it's really a sad bunch of hate mongers, they look at everyone as if they are entitiled and your not.

Typical for florida. What a bunch of right-wing nut jobs.

what in the world is a "big government liberal"? the one's that want "big government" liberally applied to interfering in our daily lives are idiots like rubio & palin who want the government to decide our "moral" values and cram their ignorant false beliefs down our throat. they cater to their base consisting of "special" needs adults that like to continually bang their head against the wall of "conservative" economic destruction. stop formulating your core values by watching fox tv you fools!

Word of advice Rubio, not all endorsements are good ones. You must have not paid attention to the NY23 race.

Let the games begin. Watch as the Club for Growth and Palin et al line up behind Rubio, attack Crist and in the end the Dems pick up another Senate seat. The GOP is about to eat their own young.

Tidal wave?? Looks more like Red Tide to me.

Could this explain the storm coming through Florida? pun

I think this year there's going to be alot of status quo changes and some very very unhappy people who are used to power and loose it.

God said..If my people would pray I will heal their nation....I suspect there are lots of people praying this year!

None of them will win the Senate seat in FL anyway....Democrats all the way!

And the New GOP pushes out another moderate. There's no room in the New GOP for moderates, there's plenty of room in the Democratic Party. I saw that the latest survey shows the GOP is down to 17% of Americans now. Soon to be the Republican Group.

Did you mean Club for Greed?

Crist makes a good Governor, but I'm still on the fence about him being a Senator. I'm very disappointed in his decision to run for the Senate instead of re-election. And I feel that his recent actions on the Stimulus Package make me question his commitment to conservative principles. I'm not an ideologue, but I don't really follow how of he can say he's for fiscal responsibility at the state level but he's open to stimulus money from Washington at the federal level, then turn around and say that you're against it. This makes John Kerry look consistent.

the conservatives who do you think these people work for I mean there day job is it the average joe or do they work at all
I never heard of them when bush was in office now they came out of the wood work the tea party who are these people they never complained when bush drove up the debt now its a problem or are
they the problem

The club for whose growth? Yours and mine, or the privileged few? Understanding who these people are that stand behind Rubio is probably more I
important than their sunshine group title.

I live in Miami, Florida and I can tell you that Cubans will most likely vote for him in high percentage but not this hispanic woman. I will vote for the democratic candidate with eyes close. This guy is from the very conservative part of the Republican party and I don't agree with their views.

Club for Growth is another tentacles that clings to tea parties, bithers, and death panels.

Fifty-eight percent (58%) of likely voters say it is likely the next president of the United States will be a Republican, according to the latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey.

The number has been trending in this direction since Democrat Barack Obama took office in January and is up 14 points since then.

The liberals have hijacked the term progressive by re-defining "regression". The freedom of traditional values is what the founding fathers fought and died for. The liberals want to throw us back into a state of godless, medieval times and call that progressive.

The wisdom of the founding father's must be preserved. This man can do just that in politics.

Conservatives are progressive – and we MUST FIGHT!

The "conservative" recipe for growth is a discredited set of ideas. Repeating them over and over again with more insistence won't make them work any better. This ideology had its chance. We as a majority voted for it, as it turns out, against our own better economic interests.

10 percent unemployment, recession, offshoring and downsizing were the actual results. Enough already.

If there is enough political distance between these conservative candidates, then organizations such as the CFG should unite, splinter off the GoP and form another conservative political party.

What they greedily covet are the votes of moderate conservatives (and conservative swing independents) that would provide them platform support for policies and ideologies that are anathema to many American voters.

The GoP and the 'Splenetic Conservatives' would likely form voting coalitions where their policies overlap greatly, such as in fiscal matters. Thus, a schism would not necessairly harm mainstream conservatism, it would reinforce it.

Those of us who choose not to support the party of "wealthy ideologues" as Jim so aptly put it, can then opt for the alternate conservative candidate, moderate or not.

It's clear that Reagan's big tent is no more, and that we need a new referendum on what ideologies form the core mainstream conservative thought.

Just another reason to SWITCH to MSNBC

with the MSM, every thing is about the next election!

All we hear on CNN and FALSENEW is about political campaigns, rallies, endorsement, donations and fund raising and millions being raised and spent to win/lose elections; but do these politicians actually do their jobs?!

the electorate is more like a tool...pump you up; fill you up with garbage...about being conservative or your enemy is a liberal; and then take your little earnings to add to their campaign funds, and support a mega millionaire to seek a political office...who will continue to seek more more for saying stupid things like " YOU LIE" and more hatred like Pain-Lin who sings about "death panels" yet making millions writing a stupid book; this from a woman who can't put a coherent sentence together!

Yeah, this is America...stupidity pays....you folks should continue to be a cow and or sheep and being led by rush, beck, hannity, painlin!!!!! – Ask these FALSE NEWS pundits how much they got in their bank accounts!!!

It seems the Republican party has awoken! For too long, they've tried to do what the democrats have done and tried to please everyone, even at the imperil of millions of unborn.

This guy "gets it". He understands TRADITIONAL VALUES ARE PROGRESSIVE. Whereas, LIBERAL VALUES ARE MEDIEVAL.

Many libs and media like to talk about a big rift in the Repub party. You should simply realize that the unaffiliated conservative party is larger than the Republican party and that the Repubs. will move back to the right if they want to stay in power. Look at the Dem party that is ripped in half due to the radical leftist agenda.

Hopefully Rubio will have a spine to stand up to these constitution gutting, crooks and liars that run the democratic party.....Go Rubio!

Count Chocola's been drinking kool-aid made with holy water for a bit too long it seems...

Talk about your foregone conclusions...

Now introducing the new Democratic Senator from the Great State of Florida.......

Club for Growth is nothing more then a religious cult whose members seek to cut their own taxes. They have been lying and sinning since inception.

Which is more important: keeping Americans healthy or spending on unnecessary wars? Only in America can people be overtly foolish and use stupidy for political ends.

Come on people.
The stimulus package in February everyone attributes to the President is correct. You just can't get the right president to attribute it too. remember Bush? Stimulus was his plan first so the Repubs wouldn't look stupid (good luck with that!) and by the way you idiots (republicans) should be happy becuse it is one (and only) thing started by Bush that seems to have worked somewhat correctly. Albeit to straighten out the mess he created anyway ! Maybe Bush's forte was money and not war? Huh? watcha ya' think? NOT When it comes to bailing out financial failure just look to both old man Bush and Georgy boy.They have this knack of covering their a–! Course Grandpa B was no piker either during WWII !

This is the same group of people who cite the Bible for their arguments that the health care reform bill should deny lower income individuals (read: inner city minorities) who are on the public option reimbursement for an abortion...why?...because they want to keep those people right where they are (read: in poverty) by disallowing them the exercise of their Constitutional rights (note: Roe) by saddling them with the inability to make prudent economic decisions...such that generation after generation is stuck.

When the Democrat ultimately won what had been a longtime reliably Republican district, those conservatives faced fire from some in the GOP for language that seemed to push moderates away.

Oh really? 7000 people voted for Dede even though she dropped out. Conservatives can't help it if voters are stupid and through away their vote.

Hoffman ran for 1 month and almost won. Dede stabbed her party in the back. Things will be different in 2010.

Also, Armey was brilliant in what he said earlier about the health care bill.

CNN viewers continue to decrease so have the owners now decided to try to draw Fox viewers with nonstop coverage of the Republicans/Conservatives? Or is the startegy to spend the next three years trying to keep the country in election mode??

Are you going to interview and outlijne exactly what this socalled "Club For Growth" actually stands for and their strategies for achieving goals or are you going to continue to pump them up as your do the Republicans with their broad, rhetorical language??

Finally the majority of conservatives are fighting back - We've been quite and it so happen that liberals had been picking on conservatives for quite a while and had let them do what they like. This time, the mojority of this country will not be in slumber no more. I hate politics, but, I have to stand for what is right as what the founding fathers had made this country "for the people, by the people" of this country - definitely not "for bigger/controlling government, by the soliatistic government".

This is no longer funny. We realize the GOP is in trouble. That, very literally, even if half of the garbage was true that they claim about Obama, that America at large would still side with our sitting president in lieu of being lumped together with these wingnuts.

They have a lunatic, pill-head screamer as their leader, a former beauty queen and half-term governer as their attack dog, and their pal Dick "13% approval" Cheney spouting off about God-knows-what, all the while acting outraged that the majority of Americans still like our intelligent, well-to-do commander -in-chief.

Has no one in the Press or anyone thats part of this debate courageous enough to point out to Ms Palin that this counry already has death panels. They go by the name of insurance companies..

This is what needs to happen. People need to wake up to the lies of the DNC and RNC and think for themselves.

The Capitalistic model for growth and profit at any cost is a cancer that will eventually kill our societies and likely human kind itself.

Its time to tax all these nonprofits,clubs and think tanks from both sides.Churches that spew politics should be included also.

Watch Conservatism thrive in the months to come! Obama's tax and spend policies will evoke a tidal wave of revolt in America! I pity those that jump on his Titanic!

a conservative is a conservative. as if it matters. . .Rubio? Crist? either will just say no to anything progressive.

Another radical religious right group trying to take over the control of our country.
Be wary, voters. While hiding behind the Bible these hypocrits never hesitate to lie, distort, incite hate, anger, fear mongering while touting their definition of Christianity.

It’s interesting to me that the Club for Growth does not support a single policy that has been proven to actually grow the economy. The funders are all super wealthy right wing ideologues who want to cut their own taxes.

Crist will beat him.

Oh what a shocker. Wouldn't it be ironic if the Senate moves 61-39 dems, because of this? lol
