AS A LIFE-LONG REPUBLICAN, THE THING THAT FRIGHTENS ME MOST IS THE AGE GAP BETWEEN THE PARTIES. THE REPUBLICAN PARTY HAS LITTLE TO ATTRACT THE YOUTH OF THIS FINE STATE, MANY OF WHOM ARE YET TO BE "BRANDED". WE NEED YOUNG PEOPLE LIKE GRUTERS WITH FRESH IDEAS, ENERGY, AND YOUTHFUL ATTRACTION TO HELP PROPEL OUR PARTY THROUGH THE NEXT 20 YEARS.
Joe Gruters is the BEST candidate for RPOF Chairman. He will lead from the front and all 67 counties will be encouraged by his leadership. Joe handed me probably the toughest job for a District leader: making some progress in the Democratic center of the county. With Joe's steady encouragement, I made progress for the GOP and helped Ray Pilon win over a Democrat House leader. Like many of Sarasota County's volunteers, the motivation to push back the Dems was there but Joe Gruters kept it going.
Support the out front motivator. Vote for Joe Gruters for RPOF Chairman.
Joe is by far the most qualified candidate. His positive attitude and proactive approach is what the RPOF needs to move into the future.
Past negative news of actions done by a small few at the states party have tarnished the image of all Floridians. Joe is the only candidate than can say he has not ties to past leadership. His proven success in winning elections, ability to raise and manage money and capitalize on using technology will help to build the parties base and reach out to younger voters.
Rick Scott was correct by stating that Joe would be a great Chair for the state.
The head of the RPOF is Rick Scott. I think the party should defer the choice to Rick Scott, who knows who the Conservatives are that would excel. Stop drinking from the same old well that has been corrupted with bad ideas and let's get back to basic principles. No one currently getting a check from either municipal, county, state, federal governments or agencies or authorities of those should get the job. Pick a person outside the government that has demonstrated a passion for the Republican Principles. Chairmen come and Chairman go, but principles endure forever.
Mr Manjarres is putting out false information about Vern Buchanan running for the U.S. Senate.
Per election law in the State of Florida, you are not allowed to appear on the ballot twice.
Why?
House members are up for re-election every 2 years, thus they appear on the ballot each of those years. They could not run for the House and Senate at the same time.
Senators are only on the ballot every 6 years (every 3rd election) thus the other 2 elections they could run for President or VP and keep their seat (As McCain/Obama did and as is being bantered about Rubio doing).
This is another example of a blogger blowing something up to try & make headlines for himself.
Vern Buchanan is back for his 3rd term in the U.S. House of Representatives. As you know seniority means everything in the House. He has been on a number of committees for his previous 4 years but now has been elevated to the highest level committee in the House, the Ways & Means Committee. This means he has a very influential position over all the money spent by the U.S. Government as all appropriations bills have to be originated in the House of Representatives.
On top of that he is the chief fund raiser for the NRCC (National Republican Congressional Committee) & has pledged to raise in excess of $50 million dollars for the candidates in 2012. Vern Buchanan is going no where soon as he has attained a high position for himself. The polls for the 2012 Senatorial nomination have Jeb Bush leading by an overwhelming margin. Even Connie Mack has a 3 times large polling position than Buchanan has. I think Buchanan was polling at about 7% last I saw.
Joe Gruters is a loyal guy & has had a close relationship with Vern Buchanan. He worked for him on & off for a number of years & was also his campaign manager for his first two congressional races. He was simply being transparent in his reply to Mr. Manjarres.
This is exactly what everyone is screaming for from their elected officials, transparency. Joe simply said if Vern Buchanan did run, he would resign to run his campaign. THIS IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN!
Joe Gruters is the man for the job if the RPOF wants transparency to overcome the recent past actions of their top officials.
Joe is a trained CPA & will watch the money that comes into the RPOF very closely. He stands on his own principles daily in the world of accounting and this is sorely needed to recover the besmirching of the RPOF’s reputation by a few nefarious individuals.
From this article dirt can only be found from 2 candidates and it's really old dirt. (so the other 3 are angles?) The dirt is over 7 years old. (that's the youngest story) Why is I can do a very simple Google search on the other candidates and find things but the news isn't reporting it or even asking question about things.
The things I do know are: most news outlets are bios. Most are liberal. All print stories to make money. Nobody is an angle including the other 3 candidates. I'll formulate my support from what I can find on all the candidates.
