That sure is a different Charlie Crist than I'm hearing about in these threads. At least it's different from what some posters are saying.

Are you saying the Charlie Crist didn't MURDER Terri Schiavo? That seems to be the main point of some posters.

Sherri,

The spin machine keeps going on.

When challenged with his stance and sickening condescension on civil unions, you and Charlie boy run from the issue and quickly change the topic to gay marriage - which he's against as long as it's not popular.

Most sickening is his cry of "I'm pro-life, I'm pro-life"
He's pro-choice! He should either switch his position or be a man and have the balls to say what he supports. Either works better than "I'm pro-life but want the law to stay pro-choice and would never even support a waiting period. But I'm pro-life."

What's next? Barney Frank is for lowering taxes because he voted against a 75% hike? Really?

I've said a million times that Gallagher openly admits that he was a moderate until he had a kid. Even then he was against partial-birth abortion (the difference is he was honest enough to call himself pro-choice - just as he's been consistantly pro-life since becoming a father), against civil unions and against reckless spending. Charlie's for all of those now, not in 1994.

Your candidate is far more liberal than any other who's ever run for the GOP and the amount he and his supporters seek to obfuscate is laughable to the point of being deplorable.
