Political Injustices- Throwing Your Own Under The Bus.

By
Real Estate Agent with The Gasset Group & Get It Done For Me Virtual Services 13253167-SA00

I can't even remember the last time I stuck up for a democrat candidate. However, this election time I am wrought with indignation of those in power who just think only about their own selfish selves and desires with no care whatsoever for the people to whom they have pledged to serve. I am stewing over the facts of those in power just throwing their own loyal servants in their own party under the bus. 


Nothing brings this more to my heart than what is happening here in Florida. It boggles my mind how anyone could even condone the behavior of the DNC here in Florida towards their own candidate. 
When we read the other day that even Democrat Robert Wexler endorsed Charlie Crist- I was wondering where the outcry is from within his own party. 

On August 25, 2010 Florida State Senator Kendrick Meek won the Democrat ticket to run for the U.S. Senate. I am voting for Marco Rubio and so are most people we know but that is not even the point. I know who I am going to vote for but how do top Democrats just throw Kendrick Meek under the bus?

Kendrick Meek has been a VERY loyal democrat all his life. He served as a Democrat in the Florida Senate. He serves his community. He fights for what he believes to be right and he has principles. We don't believe the same things, we don't agree on much of anything but he is man who fights for what he believes is right and for those he serves.  His mother ran for office on a Democrat ticket for the Florida Congress and served in that capacity -he helped paint her signs as a youth. He was the President Statewide of the Youth Democrat Party.  Here is a photo of Kendrick with his wife and children. 


I know politics is dirty and cruel but to throw one of your own under the bus just to go and support someone like Crist who is totally about himself and who makes choices based on what is good for Charlie not what is good for the people he serves. Crist has no principles. He has no loyal service to the Democratic party.  This guy was a Republican sore loser. So he loses the primary to Rubio, then he becomes an independent. He will turn into a Democrat if they pay him enough in ego strokes or bribes or whatever else they can conjure up. It is disgusting. 

I really feel bad for Kendrick Meek because he is not going to get a fair shake in this election. He is up against Charlie Crist because those who vote for Marco Rubio would never vote for Meek. It is those that would vote for Meek but are being swayed to vote for Crist that is the problem. When money from the DNC is secretly being used to back Crist in this fight- they don't care about principles, they don't care about Meek. Meek is dispensable to the DNC even after all of his loyal years of service for the Democrat Party. And that is NOT right.

I don't know much about the politics down there, but sure do hope for the best for Meek the way you describe him.  I'm all for the guy who gives his all to the community.

Wallace- are you suggesting that Crist is more progressive as a RINO than Meek is as a life long loyal democrat? LOL!

That isn't just a Democrat thing.  Both Political Parties just want to win... it doesn't matter who they have the smack in order to do it.

Lane- Yes, I have seen the Rep do this too, especially when they said they would not back tea party candidates. But this one is really bad because Meek has done all that the Dems would expect from a loyal supporter. On the other hand in the GOP- the tea party movement is the new party moving in, so to speak.

I am down here with you, and all I hear from the GOP is Crist bashing, but I didnt know that the DNC was supporting him and not Meek.

The DNC is supporting Crist because he has been a loyal liberal to Obama for and he is out of the closet now -

Phil- GOP is supposed to do the Crist bashing- he is the one that is a total ( fill in the blank). The bigger issue is that the Dems who should be helping Meek are secretly and many openly endorsing and giving their money to the Crist campaign. Wexler just gave him his endorsement. I don't believe in my heart that Meek saw this coming or expected this after all he and his mother have done to help their party. ( I am not a democrat BTW) It is just that I like to defend what is right and the underdog most of the time. :) I have empathy for Meek and wish him and his family only good things and many blessings.

Nicholas- THANK YOU! For the feature. Yes, I think Crist is a closet progressive but I believe that he is more about Crist than any idea or agenda. The Crist agenda is the only one he serves. I hope he loses. I can not stand his hypocrisy. Katerina

Polarized politic is abhorrent, politicians who practice it should be tried for treason.

Remember to take out the trash on November 2.

Again, you answered your own point....DEMS are eating their own for the VOTES they think they can get!!!  Christ as a RINO will be beholding to the DC powers that gave him $$$ and HE knows it and THEY know it!

Both parties are guilty of thowing folks under the bus.

This is sad, I would support him if I lived in Florida. Whinning GOP when they don't get their preferred candidate elected in the primaries go and run as Independents.

Makes me sick.

Through um' all out.

Missy- Marco Rubio beat Crist in the GOP primary. But instead of bowing out of the race, he then said, he would leave the GOP just for the election and run as an Independent! Because he could not stand losing to Rubio. So we have Rubio as the GOP Conservative candidate who is a great choice, Crist as the independent and Meek as the Democrat. we are campaigning for Rubio.

Lane is correct, it's going on with both parties.

Wallace - You must be missing what's been going on with the Republican side the past week or two.

Katerina - I don't know why Dems have been quiet.  Maybe because they're already accustomed to it thanks to Lieberman?  Maybe the canibalistic display on the other side of the aisle is more interesting?  But this does seem strange.....from a Dem standpoint, he should help Meeks and let the Reps split it between Crist and Rubio.  Does Crist have a more favorable ME policy than Meeks?

Tchaka- Crist is all about what is best for Crist. He will go to whomever he thinks his bread will get buttered better by, lack of principles is my view on him. You can sway with the wind and gain the trust of the people. Meek has been true not just to his party, but to his own principles and he does serve his people, although I don't agree with his viewpoints I respect that he is a good person, a good human being and believes in serving his constituents and so did his mother. I have read a lot about him and have found nothing that would make him not a good candidate. Katerina
