Charlie Crist Opens Mouth, Inserts Foot

Posted on | February 27, 2010 | 20 Comments

Again. The headline says it all:

Crist says he would not scrap
Dem health care reform,
can’t identify part worth keeping

Trying to turn “bipartisan” and “moderate” into a matter of political principle is a losing game, because it means that voters are never really sure where you stand. Crist’s GOP primary opponent Marco Rubio pounces quickly with a press statement:

“Once again, Charlie Crist has shown why Floridians can’t trust him to go to Washington and stand up to the misguided agenda of President Obama and Congressional Democrats. At a time when Americans are pushing back against the government takeover of health care and calling for a complete reset to this flawed bill, Charlie Crist says he would not scrap it.”

Crist Is Toast.

    In the article you reference Charlie is talking out of both sides of his, um, mouth. That is what Charlie does. He wants to be all things to all people rather than choosing a set of principals and taking ownership of them. His beliefs, like his sexuality, are fluid. Pick a side, Charlie.

    With Charlie Crist, we should just be glad it was only a foot that was inserted.

    Hey Charlie, why do you have fuzzy dice hanging off the rearview of your limo? Oh wait, that’s your testicles, my bad.

    This is becoming habitual for the Crist campaign. What part of the HCR bill is worth keeping? Name me one part.

    Also, I agree with what Carol says completely.

    With just a bit of alteration, that headline can be a haiku:

    Crist says he would not
    ditch Dem healthcare reform; can’t
    find part worth keeping
