Fla. Gov. Crist denies endorsing stimulus bill (NY-23 has spooked the RINOs)
AP ^ | 2009-11-05

Posted on 11/04/2009 9:55:27 PM PST by rabscuttle385

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) -- Gov. Charlie Crist is saying he did not endorse the $787 billion federal stimulus bill, a statement that might confuse some voters.

Crist appeared with President Barak Obama in February to support the bill, asked Florida members of Congress to vote for it and previously told The Associated Press that he would have voted for it if he had been in the Senate.

But when the Republican governor talked about the bill Wednesday on CNN, he said he didn't endorse it. Crist told CNN he understood that the bill was going to pass and wanted to use it for the benefit of Florida.

Marco Rubio needs to ask Charlie Crist about his close friend Scott Rothstein.

Crist can deny his endorsement of the stimulus bill all he wants - I remember his endorsement of death for Terri Schiavo.

What Crist is saying now is that asking the Florida congressional delegation to vote for the “stimulus” doesn't mean he actually endorsed the bill. If this logic doesn't qualify Crist to serve in the U.S. Senate I don’t know what would.

Crist has tried to distance himself from Obama and the stimulus bill since entering the 2010 Senate race in the spring.

Last sentence of the article. Trying to deny the impact of Tuesday's elections?

If you didn't endorse it, then why in the blue hell did you appear on TV and say how great it was?

We can add liar to his list along with big spender.

What a piss-poor article. It mentions that Crist said he supported it before he didn’t but then doesn’t provide any direct quotes. In fact the excerpt is essentially 20 words shy of the complete article. Crist is an in-your-face waffler so I am certainly not defending him but if the Miami Herald wants to post an article at least do some real research to back up, with quotes, the headline’s promised story.

What is wrong with these people??? Are they all suffering from dementia? Don’t they even stop for one second to think that everything they say and do in public, (and some not so public,) in this age of instant communications, is grabbed, recorded, filmed, archived, saved, copied, many, many times over, so that YEARS later, their lies come back to bite them in the butt. And yet they STILL jump in peoples’ faces with these easily provable lies as if we have no memory and we are so stupid we will simply drift in their ether, anesthetized to the point of inzombnia.
Yeah. I would vote for this twofaced bi-guy. Sure I would.

“But when the Republican governor talked about the bill Wednesday on CNN, he said he didn’t endorse it. Crist told CNN he understood that the bill was going to pass and wanted to use it for the benefit of Florida.”


What a weasel. “I was lying then, not now.”. I don’t know what’s worse, that he full-throatedly supported Porkulus because he’s a liberal, or whether he threw every single House Republican under the bus for something with which he did not even believe.

GO, MARCO, GO!

The sound you heard following tuesdays election were Democrats and Liberal Republicans crapping themselves across the country.

They thought what the poodle brought them was coattails, they now know its cement shoes.

If you aren’t from the blues of blue districts, and you have been siding with rabidly radical liberal-socialist arm of the democratic party... your political career days are over.

The RINO and DONKEY season is open for business.
