Former Governor Jeb Bush at Orlando GOTV Rally for Rick Scott!

This video shows why Rick Scott will make a fantastic Governor for the State of Florida. It also shows that one of my favorite former Governor's understands what it takes to be Governor and why for 8 years Florida was on the right track with Jeb Bush as Governor. What Jeb said is so true of many of our states and how all of us tomorrow need to change the culture of asking the Government what you can do for us when we can do so much ourselves. All of us across America need to roll up our sleeves and help get America back on its feet. Each of us has something they can contribute to making America a better place to work and live.

Sink-Obama, Ideological Soulmates - Both Pro-Abortion

We said earlier that Alex Sink could run away from Obama but she couldn't hide. The truth was going to catch up with her sooner or later.  Sink is a member of Emily's list, and an extreme liberal who took her 15-year old daughter to an abortion rally in 2004. How many parents would do that?

Sink Took Her 15-Year Old Daughter To An Abortion Rally. “Although the march is not religion-based, many of the attendees are people of faith. Some are Christians who are angry that abortion rights opponents such as Operation Rescue appear to speak for all people of faith. ‘I resent it,’ said Alex Sink of Hillsborough County, a Presbyterian and the wife of former gubernatorial candidate Bill McBride, who will march Sunday with her 15-year-old daughter, Lexi. ‘They are extremists. To hide behind some religion is wrong. I resent that they may question the faith of some women who just believe government should stay out of reproductive issues.’” (Schulte, Eileen, “Faithful To March – But For Choice,” St. Petersburg Times, 4/24/04)

EMILY’s List, A Radical Pro-Abortion Organization Named Sink One Of Their Top 5 Priority Races In The Country. “A leading pro-abortion organization has released a list of its top five candidates it will be supporting in the 2010 elections. Emily’s List, which only supports pro-abortion candidates who back taxpayer-funded abortions and oppose a ban on partial-birth abortions, is helping bankroll their campaigns… In Florida, the pro-abortion group wants State Chief Financial Officer Alex Sink to become governor, replacing Gov. Charlie Crist… Sink faces pro-life Attorney General Bill McCollum in a marquis race for the Florida governorship and she complains McCollum is ‘known for being radically anti-choice.’ Democrats have a chance to win back the governorship after a decade of Republican rule, and recent polling shows this is an extremely close race, putting Alex within striking distance to win the race for governor in this crucial battleground state. But Republicans, led by Jeb Bush, will do whatever it takes to hold on to the governor’s mansion,’ Malcolm says.” (Ertelt, Steven, “Pro-Abortion Group Names Top 5 Candidates It Supports In 2010 Elections,” Lifenews.com, 9/2/09)

Sink Was The Brainchild Of Ruth’s List, A Florida Imitation Of EMILY’s List, Whose Top Priority Is To Elect Sink Governor. “Several prominent Tampa Democratic women are among a group trying to develop a state-level imitation of the powerful national political fundraising organization EMILY’s List. The new Florida organization, Ruth’s List, will focus only on state races, but has the same goal that EMILY’s List has in congressional races: "To elect pro-choice, progressive Democratic women candidates," said Fort Myers political consultant Ellis Robinson. It was the brainchild of Tampa Democrat Alex Sink, state chief financial officer, who’s running for governor. Backing Sink will be the group’s top priority this year, Robinson said. But she and others denied it’s just an outgrowth of the Sink campaign. The organization was planned in 2007 and began operation last year, before Sink decided to run for governor, Robinson said.” (March, William, “Florida Democratic Women Organize Fundraising Arm,” Tampa Tribue, 12/6/09)

As Of 2010, Alex Sink Has Donated Over $46,600 Dollars To Federal Campaigns Of Emily’s List, A Radical Pro-Abortion Organization. (Federal Election Commission, www.fec.gov, Accessed 09/6/10)

Sink Was Awarded The 2003 “Choice Award” By Planned Parenthood. “Alex Sink, retired president of Bank of America’s Florida operations and wife of failed gubernatorial candidate Bill McBride, was given Planned Parenthood’s ‘Choice Award’ for her contributions to women’s rights and called ‘an exquisite role model to women who want to work and have a career.’ Sink made sure McBride’s campaign reflected women’s abortion rights issues, one Planned Parenthood speaker said.” (Tubbs, Sharon “Roe vs. Wade Commemoration Takes On Rally Flavor,” St. Petersburg Times, 01/30/03)

On August 18, 2010, the day following the Florida primary, Obama made a fundraising trip to Florida for Alex Sink.  One little problem -- Sink ducked out of the fundraiser before Obama got there saying she had a prior commitment.  It was a lame excuse then and haven't changed our minds.   On CSPAN this video shows what Obama had to say that day about Alex Sink:




Alex Sink can run away all she wants from Obama and his Agenda but voters of Florida know that is just a ruse to pretend she is more conservative than what she really is. There is NOTHING Conservative about Alex Sink or anyone else who belongs to Emily's List.

On November 2nd, voters will be let her know that pretending to be something she is not did not work in Florida when they elect Rick Scott and Jennifer Carroll as Governor and Lt Governor of Florida.

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!

FACT: Alex Sink supports Barack Obama’s Health Care Reform

In a candidate questionnaire published by the St. Petersburg Times, Alex Sink said she supports President Obama’s Health Care Reform Plan that puts government bureaucrats in charge of your health care decisions and cuts Medicare funding by billions of dollars.

FACT: Sink supports Barack Obama’s fight against Arizona’s illegal immigration law

In the same candidate questionnaire, Alex Sink says she opposes the Arizona immigration law that would require police officers to verify the legal status of suspects during law enforcement investigations. [Source: St. Petersburg Times, August 22, 2010 - "Where They Stand"]

FACT: Sink supported Barack Obama’s economic stimulus plan and bailout

Sink told the St. Petersburg times that Florida has benefited from the “billions and billions” in stimulus money, and she’s even on record begging Washington politicians for hundreds of millions more in bailout money.
