I'm coming late to this but here are some recent Charlie lies.
- lied on his stance on abortion "I'm pro-life," "I'm pro-life," "I'll say it again I'm pro-life" but.... "I do not support a 24 hr waiting period" and.... "I would not support the changing of the law should Roe v Wade be overturned"
- lied on never supporting a tax increase
- seeks to hide his previous comments in support of gay adoptions
- calls himself a Ronald Reagan conservative while not only advocating "civil" unions in the same breath, but also insinuating that anyone who opposes them is clozzzed minddded and duhzint have a livvve and let livvve attttitude (sic)
- hyped allegations against Tom to a ridiculous extent
- sought to hide his position on amnesty
- constantly runs away from the very positions he advocates
"I'm Charlie Crist." "You can trust Charlie Crist (to be a turd)."
It doesn't matter if you're pro-life or pro-choice on this one. Charlie Crist is a repugnant liar.
He sounds like every politician I have ever heard then. Like other politicians, he wants it both ways. I'm sure I could come up with a similar list for Gallagher. It's politics. Surely you don't believe that politicians always say exactly what they believe?
