Florida Republican Primary for Senate 2010: Rubio Up Big … Rubio 54%, Crist 36%

Marco Rubio pulls out even farther ahead of Charlie Christ in the race for the Republican nomination for US Senate of Florida. Rubio now leads Christ 54% to 36% which represents a 5% point gain from last months polling.

Former state House Speaker Marco Rubio continues to lengthen his lead over Governor Charlie Crist in the contest for Florida’s Republican Senate nomination.

A new Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of likely Republican Primary voters finds Rubio leading Crist by 18 points, 54% to 36%. Four percent (4%) prefer some other candidate, and seven percent are undecided.

Florida Republicans do not vote for their nominee until an August 24 primary; however, at this point it would take a miracle for Christ to make up the difference. The polling trend is toward Rubio as  in December 2009 the two candidates were tied at 43% apiece. Christ has made one too many1 photo-op embracing Barack Obama and his $787 billion stimulus package for Republican tastes. Once again this is a clear indicator that the Republican party is choosing more Conservative candidates to run in 2010.

Now Unions & Liberals are Attacking Dem Senator Harry Reid’s Jobs Bill as a Joke

More from the Gang who could not shoot straight …

$15 billion? What’s $15 billion jobs (stimulus) bill when Barack Obama had previously passed one for $787 billion. Now Democrat leaning Unions and other liberal groups are up in arms over this ridiculous and “puny” attempt of jobs legislation.

Unions and liberal groups have dismissed Sen. Harry Reid’s $15 billion jobs bill as “puny” while calling for larger stimulus measures.

More than two dozen organizations, including the AFL-CIO, National Association for the Advancement of Colored Peoples (NAACP) and the National Council of La Raza, warned Democratic leaders in Congress to avoid tackling the troubled economy through incremental action.

How does the LEFT really feel about Reid’s jobs bill? These people can do nothing right as they manage to just upset all sides and do nothing to get people back to work. This will become the latest FOX TV show, ‘When Liberals Attack Their Own’.

“If this $15 billion was the only thing [that passed], that would be like having an amputated arm and sticking a band aid on the end of it,” said Richard Trumka, president of the AFL-CIO, on a conference call Friday.

Democrat Senate Majority leader Harry Reid did have a bipartisan jobs bill on the tabeble. That was until he took it upon himself and  killed it. He ended a bipartisan jobs bill for this? No wonder Democrats and Reid are failing miserably in the polls.

Winter Olympic: Miracle on Ice … 30 Years Later … The USA Beat the Soviet Union, Where were You!

MIRACLE ON ICE … WHERE WERE YOU!!!

“Eleven seconds, you’ve got ten seconds, the countdown going on right now! Morrow, up to Silk. Five seconds left in the game. Do you believe in miracles? YES!”

Before the Internet, before cell phones and before  24 hour cable, there was the 1980 Winter Olympics and a story of the USA hockey team for the ages. Never again will such a story and game ever be played as it transcended sports.

It was February 22, 1980 the day the world stood still when the USA hockey team beat the Soviet Union 4-3 … where were you? It was the greatest game and greatest sports upset in USA history. The story of “Miracle on Ice” is one of the greatest uplifting, feel good stories of all time. A cast of college kids put a nation on their shoulder when we needed it most.

It is 30 years later but to watch highlights of the game from the 1980 Winter Olympics in Lake Placid, NY still brings a smile, pride and a tear to my eye after all these years. It was more than just a hockey game, it was a piece of the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Unions played out on a sheet of ice. It was a bunch of college kids against the Soviet hockey machine that was invincible. The Russian Red team had taken down the NHL’s best teams preceding the Olympics, how could a team of college kids even compete.

The rest is things that dreams and miracles are made of.

USA VS USSR: Mike Eruzione goal – The shot heard Around the World

Having grown up a Cold War kid, Miracle on Ice represents such a special moment in time. We deal with the threat of terrorism today, but that is a much different feeling than to wake up and wonder whether there would be nuclear annihilation. It was such a different time. I can remember being glued to the TV watching every second recovering from surgery. When the USA won, I jumped up and down, split my stitches and cried like a baby.

For those who are not old enough to appreciate the moment in time, you have to go back to 1980 and think of the following. The United States was gripped in a terrible economic plight, double digit unemployment, interest rates and inflation. So many people were out of work and gas was rationed. The USSR was occupying Afghanistan and American hostages were being held in Iran.

Do you believe in Miracles … YES!!!

It was a grim time in the US and everyone thought that the USSR was going to dominate the Winter Olympics and do a show of force on the World stage. We now know why that why they play the game.

These Olympic hockey kids made America remember that any thing is possible and miracles do come true. The feeling that this moment in time provided was beyond words.

Tell us what you were doing and your thoughts … 30 years later.

RINO Arnold Schwarzenegger Dismisses Tea Party Movement: ‘Not Going Anywhere’

RINO-nator …

California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger made some disparaging remarks while on ABC’s “This Week” hosted by Terry . Schwarzenegger dismissed the Tea Party movement as he stated,“The Tea Party is not going to go anywhere.”

“I think the Tea Party is all about just an expression of anger and dissatisfaction.”

Scott Brown was elected in Massachusetts, states like NJ & VA that voted for Obama have turned RED, Republicans are ahead in polls across America, once safe Democrats are now fighting for their political survival and the once untouchable Obamamessiah now finds himself at mid 40′s approval ratings and this is attributed to just anger and dissatisfaction. Sorry Arnold, it is much deeper than that, the People’s eyes are open and will never be closed again.

Once again we find an individual who has no clue what the Tea Party represents. Why not? Because at his political root, the Terminator is a liberal and exactly what the Tea Party stands against. Arnold Schwarzenegger is the embodiment of all that the Tea Party is against, a so-called RINO Republican who promises conservatism and in the end buckles to liberalism. As Another Black Conservative says, please do us all a favor and become a Democrat already.

Check out the VIDEO at Mediate for Arnold’s comments on the Republican Party and The Tea Party movement. What is most telling, when asked whether the the Republican Part was they party of “NO,” Schwarzenegger responds by beginning with the word “THEY”. They? Don’t you mean “WE” Gov. Schwarzenegger? Last time I checked you ran as a Republican or is this your term limited way of getting back in the good graces with the Kennedy’s?

Well, you know, they have the big opposite position. I mean, because first when it come to the party itself, they have to do everything they can in order to win in November. So they’re going to say no to everything …

Full transcript at ABC News.

Just a little tid bit from the past and some food for thought for Republicans … remember when all of you thought that Arnold was the end all be all and provisions should be made to allow him to run for President? How’s that idea looking now?

Oh and by the way, Arnold Schwarzenegger bragged on Obama’s stimulus plan and how it saved 150,000 jobs in California … dear Mr. Governator, California has an unemployment rate of 12.4%. That stimulus package just did wonders in your state, didn’t it?

California’s unemployment rate is the fifth-highest in the nation, after those of Michigan, Nevada, Rhode Island and South Carolina, and it’s significantly higher than the national rate of 10%.

Economists expect the state’s labor market to remain weak as the critical housing sector continues to struggle. Over the last two years, California has lost more than 1 million jobs.
