The Democrats’ Great White (Tanned?) Hope- Charlie Crist
The plot continues to thicken in the U.S. Senate race as Independent/Democrat Governor Charlie ‘The Chuckster” Crist has been sending out S.O.S. signals in all directions to anyone still listening in a last-ditch attempt to save his sinking campaign. And it appears that there are big shots in the Democrat Party who are more than just a little bit interested in resuscitating Charlie’s failed bid for the Republican nomination. Recall last year when Charlie consummated his love affair with Democrat President Obama when he endorsed BHO’s failed ‘Porkulus plan” with a giant man-hug for the ages in Fort Myers, Florida.
Since then, Crist’s popularity has plummeted due to several factors- his shiftiness and a lack of coherent political philosophy, the failure of the aforementioned Stimulus plan, and then culminated by the ultimate act of betrayal towards the Party which made and propelled his career in politics. Combine these factors with the rising unemployment rate in Florida and his broken promise to not raise taxes, and you have Crist’s campaign drifting down that proverbial excrement creek.
In the run up to last March’s debate with Republican candidate Marco Rubio, Crist had been trying to buff up his “Conservatism”, as he claimed he was a conservative in the mold of Ronald Reagan. Crist also made it a point to proclaim his undying loyalty to the Republican Party, promising that he would stay in the Senate race as a Republican during that same Fox News Sunday debate. Subsequent to that debate, Crist has shed enormous amount of credibility, as the now infamous promise he made to Fox News anchor Chris Wallace- not to mention the national television audience- turned out to be promise he almost certainly never intended to keep. If there is an aspect of Charlie’s political career that has remained consistent, it’s his inconsistency. Charlie’s unpredictability and his extensive list of broken promises- from pledges not to increase taxes, his flip-flops on offshore Oil drilling, and his ever changing stand on abortion , Crist has taken the politics of meaninglessness to a whole new level.
However, I believe Charlie’s strategy to nakedly pander the political center is a very smart move on his part. All of the newfound positions that Charlie has staked out of late directly appeal to the Democrat base, and they were always in support of some of the liberal aspects of Charlie’s agenda in the past. And it’s also true that Kendrick Meek, the likely Democrat nominee, will have a very hard time garnering votes among Dixie-crats who are set in their ways and would rather vote for someone they can ‘relate’ with- that someone being Crist.
We are now witnessing the beginnings of the Democrat Party’s duplicitous strategy to support Crist and abandon one of their own, Kendrick Meek. As reported in Newsmax, Senator Harry Reid has already reached out to Crist, and there is additional D.C. based buzz that Democrat operatives and the White House are already working against Meek by reaching out to Crist behind the scenes. Allow me a moment of shameless self promotion here, but I’ve been saying for over a year and half that Charlie Crist really is a Democrat, and he has pulled the wool over the eyes of the Republican Party for almost his entire career.
There are also other interesting angles that are starting to come into focus in this race. The first one involves Crist’s longtime buddy, the fire-breathing liberal kook himself, Robert Wexler. The now former Congressman Wexler, Democrat from Maryland, and Governor Crist have had a 
longstanding mutually beneficial relationship that has enabled each of them to operate under the veneer of “bipartisanship” when they combine their efforts, but it’s always been done in the name of very dubious causes. They’ve also travelled together on several overseas “trade” missions for no explicable reason. Will we see Wexler come down to South Florida to endorse and stump for his ol’ buddy Charlie in places that would never, ever consider voting for a Republican unless good ol’ Bobby gave those condo grannies his blessing?
Another angle to consider is Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman-Schultz’s possible involvement in this contentious race. Wasserman-Schultz, who has been cheerleading for in no uncertain terms for Kendrick Meek, could be ordered to quietly, or even openly, support Crist if and when a deal is struck between the administration and the Crist campaign. You may say this allegation is beyond the pale, but I dare say this because there can no longer be any doubt at this juncture that Charlie Crist is in politics solely for himself, for no one else and for no larger cause. Charlie Crist’s rationale for his candidacy has been reduced to nothing more than naked political ambition and self preservation.
Marco Rubio by contrast, has articulated a compelling case for his candidacy throughout this campaign by standing firm on critical principles; he’s put forth a specific platform free of ambiguity; he has been unafraid to take bold positions on controversial issues when necessary, and perhaps most importantly, he does not disrespect the electorate by treating them as if they were dumb as rocks, clearly recognizing that voters have had it with political doublespeak and deception, and are demanding direct accountability.
The bottom line is that a vote for Charlie Crist = a vote for Barack Obama and his socialist, prosperity robbing agenda. Support Marco Rubio, the clear alternative, for U.S. Senate.

The Democrat-socialists lose either way. Just consider; apart from the clueless semi-senile “condo commando” group, the ONLY absolutely reliable Democrat-socialist voters are black people. They generally, even without a “brother” like Obama running, vote well over 90% Democrat-socialist. Kendrick Meek is BLACK. I see, so the Democrat-socialists are willing to pull the rug out from under the “brother” to get the support of WHITE Crist. Bet THAT will really turn out the black community to support the Democrat-socialists, NOT!
The GOP base is fired up and even brain dead “moderates” are not happy with Obamaism. Charlie “my principles are to be found in my latest poll-focus group” Crist will not turn out “militant moderates.” Ain’t no such animal. Marco will beat BOTH of ‘em.
How can Charlie Crist advocate banning U.S. off-shore drilling in the Gulf? Such a ban would do nothing to stop the Saudis, Cuba, China, Russia, Vietnam, Mexico and others from continuing their drilling operations in the Gulf.
Marco Rubio is the best candidate to stand up to the Obama socialists; Crist is just a Big Government career politician. Sorry I ever voted for him.
Can’t wait to vote for Marco Rubio and Allen West.
Crist has a long, long record of lying and misleading his voters. I have collected many of them for proof. On many issues.
It is his kind of “under the blanket” governing that has plunged Florida ahead of other states, into the plundering of its seniors’ wealth and hard earned stability. Does this sound like preparation for the reduction of Medicare services? How long has Crist been working for the Democrats?
We MUST vote out all incumbents.We need our congress back. Crist, Snow,(do not forget that Oboma care would have failed without her vote. It sits squarely on her stooped shoulders.) Specter, the whole lot of them. It is our last chance to right this madness.
Crist=Specter! Nuff Said.
I agree. A vote for Crist is a vote for Obama. He will go along with everything the libs want. I have been supporting Rubio and have told all my friends about him. Rubio will get my vote. Crist might as well face it, his politcal career is over. I will never vote for him again as I once did.
I was hoping that Chuckles would stay in the Rep. primary, so FLorida would finally be rid of him in August. Now we are stuck with him until November.By the way the Marion County REC is selling Charlie Crist pictures for 50 cents any takers.
If the Dems try to “flip” Charlie and support him in a Primary against bona fide Dem Meek the resulting firestorm will cause “nuclear winter” for the Dems for years.
Why, it would be reminiscent of WIllie Logan, the black State Rep who was to be the Ds Speaker of the House. Until they replaced him with white McKenzie from Broward. The Reps have been in control of the State Legislature ever since that one.
What nonsense. The reason Obamacare passed is that the Dems had an overwhelming majority in both houses. Truth be told it was the moderate to conservative Dems that actually slowed down the passage. Face it. It is the numbers not the purity that controls the agenda.With Senator Demint’s 30 purists any liberal Supreme Court nominee would breeze through the Senate as would any liberal legislation.Politics is a practical game,unfortunately. Now that we broke through the filibuster problem we have somewhat of a chance. But it would be better to have majorities.
Crist, the consummate politician, has no principles, can be bought off on virtually any issue –take the Education Bill, for instance. He was for it until the teachers union gave him $1.5 mil in tv ads to veto it. All during his tenure as governor he took credit for Jeb’s impressive education gains and then he kills the only potential improvement in education he could have signed. All for his personal benefit and to the detriment of the students. He really is highly qualified by any measure to be a Dem.
GOV.

- Democrats for CRIST
?What Would Crist Do?
Ha Ha Ha Everyone who commented here voted him into the governers mansion. Shame on you. You should all stay home on election day from now on.
What a shame Charlie Christ has become. His EGO is so large, it overshadows everything else about him. He evidently has no principles, except to elevate himself. His poor wife, who is probably spending her millions on his campaign. Rubio has more integrity in his little finger than Christ does in his entire body.
