Why Adam Hasner Remains The Conservative Choice for Florida

By: Erick Erickson (Diary)  |  June 1st, 2011 at 11:55 AM  | 

RESIZE: AAA

It has been the big issue for weeks on end. The media is demanding to know where Republicans stand on Paul Ryan‘s plan to save Medicare.

Just a few weeks ago, Adam Hasner, my pick for the Senate in Florida, came out swinging in favor of Paul Ryan’s plan — and he even made his pitch to senior citizens in Florida.

Compare him to Mike Haridopolos, the Florida Senate Majority Leader who is best known for getting paid to write a text book for a public college that was so lame the college never used it. He went on a radio show in Orlando and couldn’t answer the question. The host of the show threw him off the air.

Whether we wanted to fight this fight or not, we are now. And the GOP can either fight to win or fold. If they fold, they lose. This is just another reason why I’m with Adam Hasner. He’s not afraid of the fight.

    We’re fighting in Florida to get someone in the US Senate to replace an Obama rubber stamp (Nelson) who has massive SEIU/OFA/media support.

    We can NOT have someone who will not take a strong Conservative stand.

    Haridopolis did a terrible job answering this question – a question that is 100% appropriate to one of the main topics on the table for Senators today.

    Additionally, Haridopolis did a worse than terrible job in the Senate legislative session allowing a group of ten very liberal Republican Senators to desecrate an otherwise excellent conservative House Republican legislative agenda.

    LeMieux is worse than Crist and he demonstrated that in the Lame Duck session voting for Michelle Obama’s Socialist food control bill and by taking three weeks for a “staffer” to finally communicate that he wouldn’t vote for Dream Amnesty (allowing the Dems to shill for it longer).

    Hasner has stuck his neck out in numerous hard interviews and has taken a stand on multiple tough Conservative issues. He stood firm on all topis that I heard him speak to include support for Ryans plan. He gave straight answers on all questions I heard him asked and never answered once with “comprehensive” or “everything is on the table.”

    We cant mess around here in Florida. Too much is at stake and too much Soros funded OFA operations are already in place. We need someone will take a stand..and FIGHT for Conservatisim…without compromise.

    In my opinion Hasner continues to demonstrate a strong stand and be able to communicate it. He has my support.

    Thank you Erick, for your continued support of great conservative candidates in my state.

    Here’s my post with more details about the “Haridopocalypse” meltdown on Ray Junior’s radio program (I’ll cross-post it as a diary in a minute here):

    He is more liberal than ideal, but he is electable (key point), he would have immediate fundraising, he is pro-life, and he helped give us Marco Rubio.
