That headline is not mine. That is from the St. Petersburg Times in Florida. Of course, it is from last year, but it is indicative of Governor Charlie Crist’s problem.
Charlie Crist got in bed with ACORN a while back and he’s turned a blind eye to all their shenanigans. Back in 2008, the Republican Party was laying out the evidence of ACORN organized voter fraud in Florida and not only did Charlie Crist do nothing, but he went on the offense against the Republican Party saying they were making a mountain out of a molehill.
At the same time in 2008, Charlie Crist partnered with ACORN.
Florida Gov. Charlie Crist, for example, partnered with ACORN in March 2008 for a “Homeownership Promotes The Economy” taskforce. More recently, Crist declared that — contrary to GOP outrage — he was not upset with the group’s voter registration efforts in his state. The New York Times reported that ACORN supported a law signed by Governor Crist, which “changed the rules last year to restore the voting rights of about 112,000 former convicts.”
Were man-organization marriages legal in Florida, Charlie Crist would be married to ACORN right now, he’s been in bed with them so much.
And now? Crist is again keeping his mouth shut, refusing to question ACORN despite all the evidence against it. But there is a growing problem for him. In a letter to Governor Crist from Marco Rubio, Speaker Rubio points out:
just last week the Miami-Dade State Attorney’s Office announced that arrest warrants were issued for 11 former ACORN employees accused of faking voter registration cards. While it is commendable that ACORN assisted in the investigations that led to the arrests, it begs the question: why were so many people capable of these crimes working for ACORN in the first place?
If Crist cannot exercise good judgment in his appointments, see e.g. George LeMieux, and he cannot exercise good judgment in his associations, exactly what good is he going to be for the people of Florida in the United States Senate?

I used to study Crist
E Pluribus Unum (Diary) Thursday, September 17th at 11:50AM EST (link)hoping that upon close examination, he would be some kind of center-right, establishment Republican – not that I like those folk, but they’re better than the Bloomberg Republican he seemed.
But alas, no. Not only is he just flat-out liberal, truly a RINO, but a he’s dishonest, conniving little punk to boot.

Richard Mullins (Diary) Thursday, September 17th at 12:04PM EST (link)and Crist doesn’t push ACORN out of his supporters by primary time, I’ll think he’ll lose. All the evidence against ACORN us starting to make supporting them that much less politically palatable.

Joe Biden is like a Decrepit Park owner with a Meth lab that happens to not only be a dealer but a user.
Let’s Bankrupt the Democratic paty. Make spend all the money to defend thier candidates.
Well said EPU...there are Moderates...there are RINOs and then there is the lowest of the low...flat out LIBERAL Republicans
AceInTX (Diary) Thursday, September 17th at 12:38PM EST (link)Crist is the latter…through and through!
Indeed...what good is he to the Republican Party and those who work so hard to make her what she is?!

Kathy Castor should GO !!
tampatraveler (Diary) Thursday, September 17th at 4:35PM EST (link)Turn out for the elections in 2010 and defeat politicians like Kathy Castor. Find out who is running against her and support them with your contributions and time. If we don’t do this we have only ourselves to blame!
NRSC still hunting donations?
roscopico (Diary) Thursday, September 17th at 10:21PM EST (link)They may ask, but they shall receive NOTHING. The Crist endorsement debacle is an albatross I’ll not forgive, lest there be an abrupt about-face.
Now is exactly the time to make inroads toward the re-establishment of a bold-colored-flag conservatism, and that means retaking the Republican party from the RINOs, squishes, Quislings, and capitulators.
I am now on board with “hope and change”, but in a manner that will politically curbstomp the big-government neofascists.

Speaking of Crist
Banjo Friday, September 18th at 9:46AM EST (link)What happened to the talk that he was a crypto Barney Frank who “married” a woman because the talk was becoming uncomfortable?
Crist is gay/bi
sapwolf Friday, September 18th at 1:55PM EST (link)I shook the guy’s hand in Florida. He’s definitely gay/bi or at least was in the past. I suspect his marriage may have been at least politically motivated.
I doubt very much he is living that lifestyle now though due to the difficulties in hiding it.
It would be nice if we could give strong support to Rubio. He would be a great addition to the Senate.

Rubio has had Rudolph, Willard AND The Huckster campaigning for him while he claims to be a true Conservative.

edniceville Saturday, September 19th at 12:23PM EST (link)Charlie is just too far left for the good of Floridians! He has made too many bad decisions and looks more like Arlen specter or yes, Barney Frank everyday! Support Marco Rubio and let’s get rid of Charlie for GOOD!
