What's at Stake in the Florida Governor's Race?

The Florida Governor's race has shifted into high gear at least on the Republican side because Rick Scott has a plan for the economy he is running on -- Rick Scott's 7 Step Solution known as the 7-7-7 Plan to put Floridians back to work.

At the same time that Rick has a plan, Alex Sink is running away from Obama and the agenda she supported before Obama's poll numbers tanked and she was in a race for Governor. Would Sink embrace Obama if his numbers rose? You betcha! She has always been a liberal progressive -- conservatives don't join Emily's List.

She demonstrated in S. Florida right after the primary what her campaign was going to be about as she refused to appear on stage with Obama when he was attending a fundraiser for her and the Dems in Florida. Those events are scheduled in advance so her weak pronouncement that she already had other plans and couldn't be with the President was lame. A better bet is that she didn't want to have her picture taken with Obama like Charlie Crist. She can run from Obama and his agenda but she cannot hide.

In fact, the Scott campaign launched Alex Sinking Florida to give the facts where she stands on issues. Leopards don't change their spots and neither does Sink. She is still the liberal progressive she always was trying to hide her liberal philosophy and agenda from the voters to get elected. This year the bait and switch by Democrat candidates is NOT going to work after what this Country has gone through with Obama "Hope and Change" which has been an unmitigated disaster!

The facts on the liberal Alex Sink not the Democrat spin:

Just two years ago, America was reminded that elections have consequences. Right here in Florida, Alex Sink proudly campaigned for and proclaimed her support of Barack Obama's liberal policies, including the $1 trillion stimulus package and the $1 trillion government-run health care bill.

The result has been predictable. More than 1.1 million Floridians are out of work, 45% of homeowners are under water on their mortgages and our state budget is in shambles.

And there is a vast difference between Rick Scott's 7-7-7 Economic Plan and Obama liberal Alex Sink's plan to govern.

Nothing less than the future viability of our state is at stake this November. We have a choice between a successful businessman who has a track record of creating private sector jobs and a liberal Democrat who over and over again has voiced support for Barack Obama's big government agenda:

When you visit a website and listen to a candidate's own words after seeing that same candidate run away from the President you ask yourself, "Who are they trying to fool?" This is Alex Sink in her own words about Obama, the same person she dissed in S. Florida the day after the election:

“Barack Obama has the right message and the right solutions for turning our economy around right here in Florida.”

You could say that was before the Presidential election and ask the question where does she stand now? In an August 22, 2010, questionaire it turns out she does support the Obama agenda. The truth came out in her questionaire. When is she going to speak the truth that she is a progressive liberal supporter of the Obama agenda? We are not holding our breath!
