Marco Rubio’s Challenge to the Moderates
July 24th, 2009 in Establishmentarianism, Republican Party ~ No CommentsFrom Townhall.com:
“You are never going to be able to erase support for a stimulus package in the Republican primary or you’re never going to be able to erase your support for liberal judges in the Florida Supreme Court,” said Rubio. “You’re never going to be able to erase the fact that you tried to implement, in your home state, virtually the same cap and trade policies that are now on the verge of destroying America. I think those differences are so significant that there is no money advantage in the world that can overcome them.”
Rubio has challenged Crist to a series of debates to talk about these issues, and others, inside the state or out. Crist has refused, saying that he was too busy governing Florida, despite spending almost every single day of June raising money for his Senate campaign.
Marco Rubio is the conservative challenger to Florida Gov. Charlie Crist for the U.S. Senate.
