He was for ObamaCare before he was for it.
something like that...i am completely confused...
Here’s Crist’s clarification:
Crist Clarifies Position on Health Care Law
Claiming that he “misspoke” during a recent interview, Florida senatorial candidate Charlie Crist (I) sought to “clear away any misunderstandings that may have arisen as a result.”
“What I meant to say was that the health care bill is a large and complex undertaking,” Crist said. “In such a complex undertaking there are bound to be parts that voters would find disagreeable. I want to assure these voters that I would have voted against these parts.”
“At the same time, there are other parts of the legislation that are good parts that we absolutely need to have,” Crist continued. “I want to assure voters that I would’ve voted for these good parts.”
Crist vowed that “my balanced and flexible approach is my pledge as your next senator. You can count on me to be for the things that you are for and against the things that you are against. My opponents will try to persuade you that a policy is either right or wrong, necessary or wasteful, that there is a moral or prudential reason for some government action. If you want this kind of rigidity, then vote for them. But if you don’t know the difference between right and wrong or are unsure of what makes sense, then I’m your man.”

It saddens me that a weasle like Crist can rise to a prominent position in American politics.
That it is possible is a terrible indictment of our great nation.
Charlie KNOWS what he is for:”CHARLIE”!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
“Charlie KNOWS what he is for:”CHARLIE”!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
I have to agree. Charlie is for Charlie.
Charlie is a compulsive liar!
btt
In Charlie’s own words: “Who cares?”
Charlie is the perfect example of how voting for the lesser of two evils gets a bad candidate elected to office. Quite predicatably, Charlie turned out to be the greater of the two evils.
Florida is about to repeat the same mistake by electing Rick Scott to office.
If Florida wants to save itself, Florida needs to write in the name of Paula Dockery for Governor. She is a straight arrow who has continually stood against the corrupt legislators we have here.
A state that does not elect people that are basically honest and care about the people that elect them is doomed to failure.
no write in has EVER won a write in state wide election.
