GOP whistleblower lawsuit may spell trouble for Charlie Crist camp
tampabay.com ^ | 8-19-10

Posted on 08/19/2010 2:32:59 PM PDT by Justaham

Susan Wright, the only Republican Party of Florida staffer who repeatedly questioned lavish spending -- only to be fired -- has filed a wrongful termination lawsuit against the RPOF. While that's certainly unwelcome for a party that tolerated much of former Chairman Jim Greer's antics for far too long, Wright's lawsuit could have greater political implications for the man who put Greer in and kept him there until the bitter end: Gov. Charlie Crist.

Says Wright's complaint: "The Republican Party also began to use party money to support the senatorial campaign of Charlie Crist. The Republican Party was not supposed to financially support a candidate until after the candidate won the primary. Plaintiff realized that what the Republican Party was doing was illegal. Plaintiff reported these illegal uses of Republican Party resources to her supervisor (Richard) Swarttz."

Now it’s just a matter of denying he knew anything.....

Don’t forget, Crist is a ‘demo-light’ now, so he’ll get a pass from his pals..

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!”

Nope, returning Greer’s donations will not help him. The money he returned was from Greer personally to Crist’s Senate campaign, not FGOP monies.

If Greer admits he took that money from the party, he can add another few years to his prison sentence.

Since the oil calamity in the gulf,
Crist has acted like chuckie schumer and sprinted in front of ANY tv camera he can find.
He panders to the old, gay, and what ever special interest group he can get an audiance with. Throw in his jumping on the no drill band wagon, and the kiss obammy’s ass bandwagon and a whole lot of very stupid voters and there you have it.

Crist spent 120,000 TAX PAYER DOLLARS for a special session to ban offshore oil drilling for a session that lasted TEN MINUTES!

The house opened, adjourned, and went home. The senate shortly thereafter.

It was pure political kabuki grandstanding.

And he’s been tanking in the polls since then.

Charlie is sucking up to Obama in hopes of securing a cabinet position. He would be a perfect as Chairman of the Rear Obama Ass Kissing and Gay Glee Club.

Charlie will change his name once in prison to Charlie FitzPatrick. His new best friend will be Patrick FitzCharlie.

Yeah,
grandstanding at it’s best using the taxpayers dollar.
Crist should work in a San Fran mens bath house.
