JUST DAYS AFTER THE PRIMARY SOME BARE-KNUCKLE, HARD HITTING ADS ARE ALREADY HITTING THE AIRWAVES IN THE GOVERNOR'S RACE. ONE OF THOSE ADS FROM THE FLORIDA REPUBLICAN PARTY BLASTS DEMOCRATIC CHARLIE CRIST FOR HIS ONE CLOSE TIES TO CONVICTED PONZI SCHEMER SCOTT ROTH TEEN.

....The Miami media has studiously AVOIDED tying their buddy Charlie Crist to convicted Ponzi schemer Scott Rothstein.

Too bad the Republican Party has to educate the population about Crist's corruption. Of course, the Miami media is never shy about attacking Rick Scott.

The best ad of the genre features a guy that was actually a victim of the ponzi scheme.
Meantime light in loafters charlie does commercials telling how good he is for Florida schools. What a schmuck!

Did this happen while Crist was still a Republican?

I’ve seen this ad and believe me it is pure dynamite! It will destroy Crist.

Not really, since Crist has now admitted to being a Democrat all along.

Nice partisan spin. Now tell the truth:
Was Charlie Crist a Republican when he was doing all these terrible things the FLGOP is going to accuse him of?

I ask because they sure didn't have a problem with it when he was wearing the (R) badge.

I did tell the truth. Crist says he has been a Democrat all along.

And, in case you’re not feigning ignorance, plenty of Republicans in Florida had little use for the chameleon from day one.

For the record, I’ll probably vote for Rick Scott in spite of some of the problems I have with him.

I just can’t stand intellectual dishonesty.

Sure, a few Republicans didn’t like Crist from the get-go, but the FLGOP was all for him when he wore their (R) badge. Attacking Crist for things he did while a Republican is as shameless as it gets. Weren’t they defending him back then? This is illustrative of what’s wrong with the Republican Party in general.

I saw this ad just earlier today. The FL GOP and Scott's campaign are wasting no time in hammering Crist on multiple issues.

It's great to see.

The media did little detrimental to Crist during occupancy of the governorship; they knew he wasn’t a conservative.
