I have a feeling that Crist is splitting the rat vote. That is until Meek catches up to him in the polls, which I suspect will be soon. When, and if, that happens, any support the bastard had will disappear.

So the teacher's union endorses the politicians who promise them the most unaccountability and greatest largesse from the public trough.

What a surprise.

As expected, Crist will probably siphon most of his votes from Meeks’ camp. All good for Rubio. Hopefully Crist will join Spectre on the sidelines forever.

If the Dems abandon Meeks in any meaningful way, the black people in FL (16%) will be peeved. Frankly, between Meeks and Crist, I would take Meeks. He is a more decent human being, and got his position honestly. Crist seems to be the kind of ego-centric personality who will remake reality to be what he would have. He’s a bit creepy.

Meeks is a moonbat lib, Charlie will be with us half the time. Bad choice, although neither will be Senator.

Sometimes I'll take the honest moonbat lib over the closeted moonbat lib. Crist as an Independent will be all over the place. It would have been better for Connecticut if moonbat lib Curry were elected over spurned Republican turned Independent Weicker. Spurned lib Republicans form the vilest of alliances.

The reason I love this Independent run so much is that he's not going to win. More than that, has has gambled his entire political future on this seat.

We didn't even need to vote the RINO out in this case - he left of his own free will. And we won't have to worry about him in the future, because this is the end of the line for his career once he loses.

Weicker was a horrible person, period. Even Scozzafava is more conservative than he is.

I’m not familiar with Crist. Is he a Dem-bulb?

And yet, he was able to get a good number of Republicans to back him once he was governor.

He’s the governor of Florida, elected as a Republican, decided to run for U.S. Senate, went out to early lead with explicit backing of national Republican party, but was challenged by a conservative ( Former Speaker of FL house? I don’t know I’m not from FL)Marco Rubio who is an articulate candidate. Since he was going to lose the Republican primary, Crist decided to run as an independent. Initially that put him into the lead in a 3-way race, but more recently, he’s fallen behind Rubio, but November is a long way off.

But now Charlie Crist IS THE GOVERNOR. Is he a homosexual? Enough information has surfaced to make it highly likely that he may be. If he is not, he certainly, in my opinion, does not do much to repudiate the accusation once and for all. Certainly, if I were charged with such a claim, I would repudiate it vehemently and provide all manner of evidence to back the truth. Governor Crist has not done this, or anything close to it, to my knowledge.

For example, when I first heard the rumored possibilities that our newly elected Governor may be a homosexual, I had a personal conversation with a high ranking official in the Governor's Office whom I have known for over 35 years. This person, in defense of the Governor said, "that is none of your business, his personal sex life should be private." Well, yes...except that he IS THE GOVERNOR and if his sex life is homosexual in nature...it raises all kinds of policy, health and morality issues...because he is now the Governor, it IS MY BUSINESS! And...If he was NOT A HOMOSEXUAL - why not just simply say, "no, he is not, that is simply a vicious rumor." There simply is not a vehement repudiation of this claim coming from the Governor's Office...when by all rights, there SHOULD BE, if he indeed is not a homosexual.

Why does this matter now, you might ask? Apparently Charlie Crist has other political ambitions that may indeed, one day land him in or near the White House. Florida and national voters - and especially Christian voters need to know what the possibilities are.

Some might ask, "Why would a church website post an article such as this?" The answer is simple...first, this is a moral, biblical issue that all Christians should be informed about. Secondly, Christians are voters and citizens too. They need all the information possible at hand when making informed, Biblical decisions about their elected officials.

Of course, it is my sincere desire that we ultimately find out that Governor Crist is not a homosexual. If he is not - then I would be among the first to defend him from what would then be termed "vicious attacks." In the meantime...we must consider the information at hand. Take a look at the following articles and facts and then YOU DECIDE.


Listen to the Sworn Testimony (AT BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE) of Dee Dee Hall, a staffer to Katherine Harris who claims to have had converstations with convicted felon, Bruce Carlton Jordan about his "love life" with Charlie Crist.

Crist's sexuality...It is AMAZING the number of convicted FELONS that he is CLOSE friends with!

Article Title - What Floridians should know about Charlie Crist
Synopsis - "In mid-September, 2006, millionaire Reform Party gubenatorial candidate Max Linn . . . insist(ed) that Charlie Crist is gay" . . . on Orlando radio station WFLA-AM 540 . . . to talk show host Bud Hedlinger. . . . Linn said he would 'put my hand on a stack of Bibles' to say Crist is gay. His sexual preference is not to women. . . . ' (See Gadfly in governor's race may have a sharp stinger. From a St. Petersburg Times article.)"

"As to Crist's being gay, Linn claimed to know this because he and Crist were in the same 1985 class of Leadership St. Petersburg Chamber of Commerce program. 'We discussed it,' Linn said. Linn . . . said if Crist were to win, he would be subject to extortion and blackmail. In the next breath, Linn said he would avoid mudslinging but that Crist's personal life is a special case because it's about integrity."

"WMR has also learned that Crist's fraternity brother at Florida State was Brent Sembler, son of major Bush and Crist financial backer Mel Sembler. Sembler, who served as George W. Bush's ambassador to Italy and Daddy Bush's ambassador to Australia, was the brains behind the founding of SEED, Straight, Inc. and the Drug Free American Foundation (DFAF). Straight and SEED have been accused of abusing teens undergoing drug rehabilitation, including subjecting teens to brainwashing techniques. And what doctor served on the advisory board of SEED and approved of such techniques that subjected underage teens to brainwashing? None other than Dr. Charlie Crist, Sr., the father of the man who seeks to replace Jeb Bush and Governor of Florida. And why has Bernie McCabe, the State Attorney for Pinellas County, never brought charges against SEED, Straight, and DFAF for child abuse? It might have something to do with the fact that McCabe is a campaign contributor to Charlie Crist."

12 Pictures of Charlie Crist Looking Gay

Wednesday February 11, 2009 2:05 AM

Yesterday, Barack Obama continued his stimulus sales pitch in Florida with the state’s Republican Governor, Charlie Crist. The quote that is making its rounds on the Internet is when Obama said, Every body needs to grab a hose and that is what Charlie Crist is doing here today.”

That’s hilarious because there have been Crist gay rumors for a while now. He was a bachelor for 30 years before hurrying up and getting married when he was being vetted for John McCain’s VP choice. And his wife runs a costume company. So you can make your own “beard” and “swing state” jokes as you see fit. Here are 12 pictures of Charlie Crist looking gay. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, of course.


“Heyy Girls!”


“What? These old things?”

“Tell me about it, sister!”

“Oh. I see you brought your son.”

“Shoes.”

“That’s all? Not interested.”

“Three words, mister. Mile. High. Club.”

“Not here, Raul.”

“He’s usually so ticklish.”

“Hit the showers, you.”

“Hip hip hooray!”

“Ehhhh!”

Of course he is if hes splitting that endorsement. Would Meeks withdraw? Would the dems want the embarrassment of not fielding a candidate for a senate seat? It may help Crist some if he did but it may energize people to vote against him as well.

I love it. Crist bent over for the teacher’s union and they stabbed him in the back by endorsing Meeks too!

Hey Charlie! Need some more Vaseline?

If the Pubbies backed him in his run you know he is going to be a RINO. Think I’ll cheer on Rubio instead.
