Jim Greer’s Self-Loathing Depression Over Crist’s Campaign Collapse? Or Maybe It’s A Prediction Of Attendance At Next RPOF Quarterly Meeting

From FDP:

While some might think Jim Greer’s recent comment to Time Magazine is simply a reflection of the fact that he is in Stage 4 ("DEPRESSION", REFLECTION, LONELINESS) of the 7 stages of grieving over Crist’s collapsing campaign, given Greer’s history of party purges and driving people away from the Republican Party, he could be simply making a prediction of how large the next RPOF quarterly meeting will be.

"Lord, save me from the purists," says Jim Greer, the state's Republican Party chairman and a Crist supporter. "If the party keeps going in this direction, all we'll have left will be three people sitting around a table. They'll be absolutely pure, but none of them will be holding office." [Time, 10/22/09]

Yet Greer going through the grieving process could explain his buffoonery over the past several months:,

Stage 3. ANGER & BARGAINING-

“As the father of four children, I am absolutely appalled that taxpayer dollars are being used to spread President Obama’s socialist ideology. The idea that school children across our nation will be forced to watch the President justify his plans for government-run health care, banks, and automobile companies, increasing taxes on those who create jobs, and racking up more debt than any other President, is not only infuriating, but goes against beliefs of the majority of Americans, while bypassing American parents through an invasive abuse of power.” [RPOF Press Release, 9/1/09]

Stage 2. PAIN & GUILT-

Email Subject: “Stop Taxpayer Funded Abortions”

“As the father of four children, I can’t imagine living in a nation where citizens willfully allow their tax dollars to fund abortion. The fact that liberal lawmakers and media pundits have ignored this portion of the legislation is deeply disturbing and has reaffirmed my belief that we must join together to put a stop to it.” - Email signed by RPOF Chairman Jim Greer.

Stage 1. SHOCK & DENIAL-

Subject: “The Sex, Drugs and School of Rock Act”

“This bill should be referred to as the ‘Sex, Drugs, and School of Rock Act,’ not the ‘Florida Healthy Teens Act,’” said Chairman Greer. “What the House Democrats…have tried to do here is slip into Florida law a provision that actually promotes a casual acceptance of adolescent drug use, sexual promiscuity and experimentation, and homosexuality–all under the guise of promoting healthy teens.” [RPOF Press Release, 3/29/09]
