I met you at an REC meeting in Duval county last spring or so. I was there to speak on behalf of JSM, and I sat beside you. You might also recall that I erroneously accused you of presenting another’s words or work as your own. Again I apologize and hope you have forgiven if not forgotten about that.

I found your tongue-in-cheek dialogue between Jim and Charlie absolutely hysterical! What makes it so funny is precisely what makes it so sad…that conversation has probably happened!

What is it about you that makes you place your kids’ futures ahead of a political party?! Outrageous! If you would simply allow the government to grow, it will take care of you in your old age and you will have no need of your children aside from their willingness to pay more than half of their income in taxes to facilitate the government’s willingness to meet your needs!

As for Reagan’s 11th commandment, it applies to true Republicans only, not the type we saw during Bush’s administration who learned well from the Democrats when it came to deficit spending and governmental growth.

I say “god for you”! Keep blasting those worthy of your contempt regardless of party affiliation. It’s time that we take our party back and restore some of its most basic principles, like smaller government and fiscal restraint. To remain silent allows the parties to become indiscernible from each other.

As for point 2, One can find fault from within and still not be supportive of the opposition (the Dems).

And on point 3, Charlie’s support for McCain was clearly calculatingly done to get on the ticket. And yes, he’s a moderate. At election time, I thought he was better than the alternative, but I don’t believe that is the case any longer. At least with Jim Davis we would have known to expect liberal Democrat behavior. With Charlie, it’s been a surprise — but no more.

I just read your satirical article on Charlie Crist and it was hilarious. I plugged my nose when saying the Jim lines to sound more like him. Hope you’re doing well.

1) You said Charlie is giving Democrats ammunition…you name me 5 Democrats that talk bad about another Democrat, it doesn’t happen, they stick together no matter what is said or what they do, unlike what you are doing in bashing a fellow Republican, even though you think he’s a “RINO” (irresponsibly elected officials or not).

2) We have to be united in our “TEA Party” effort and not bring up issues UNRELATED to “Taxation without Representation”! Which is what Socialist Obama & his Democrat Comrades in Congress are doing to this Nation! I’m asking you again are you with us or are you to busy finding fault in fellow Republicans.

3) Charlie is a Moderate has been and always will be a Moderate! If you voted him in thinking he was a Conservative, then you REALLY don’t know Charlie Crist! He is running for U.S. Senate…like it or not he’s playing the political game. Do you remember he endorsed McCain for President before the Primaries? Which was a politcal move for his own VP possibilities.

Thanks for the note. I have to disagree with you on several points.

First and foremost, I am not giving the Democrats any ammunition – our irresponsible elected officials (like Charlie Crist) are.

Second, the type of “hush, don’t speak ill of our Republicans when they do wrong/screw up” is the type of sentiment that gave us the mess we’re in right now. That is, too many GOPers kept their mouths shut when George W. Bush and the Republicans in Congress went on a reckless spending spree for 8 yrs. We have a record deficit of 11 trillion dollars that my children and their granchidlren will have to pay for. Thanks but no thanks, my loyalty is to my kids not Charlie Crist, the Republican Party or the political opportunistic vultures that make up most of the elected officials in our country.

Thirdly, Charlie is a Republican in Name Only (RINO). If he acted like a real Republican, I wouldn’t have problems with his policies.

We would all serve ourselves and our children well if we stood up and told these clowns they’re doing a poor job instead of keeping quiet. Sitting around quietly also leads to totalitarian rule.

Hey Chris!
Please Be Aware that the Hypocrates Love when we Repubilcan Fight or Speak badly about one another, So PLEASE Remember the 11th Commandment of President Ronald Reagan “DON’T Speak NEGATIVELY About a Fellow Republican”
I also didn’t like Gov. Crist going to see the “Anointed One” & Beg for Money, it was VERY Embarrassing. But My Fellow GOP Friend It’s Water Under the Bridge Now.
We have a Much Bigger issue on hand like the 2 wars before in Our Country it’s Taxation without Representation. We’re starting Up TEA Parties through out the Country & it’s Growing Fast. So Please Help Us & Not be a Distraction by giving THEM the Ammunition they Need to Divide US. We Have to & Need to be United to Fight this Bloody Liberals & Their Socialist Ideas in 2010. I hope to hear back that Your with Us.
Your Conservative Friend in Apollo Beach, John E.
