I just read a tweet from Florida Governor Charlie Crist, who is also running for Senate, asking for support of his campaign. His campaign advocates “less taxes, less government, more freedom.” If only, Charlie Crist, if only.

Barack’s buddy, Crist, talks the talk but certainly does not walk the walk. In Florida, he signed a budget last month that increased taxes and fees by more than $2 billion dollars and he defended his actions by saying that one of the taxes, the cigarette tax did not apply to the majority of Floridians, only 11% (majority of which are mid to low income persons), and that he needed to balance the budget by raising fees on the majority of Floridians. This means:

Crist VIOLATED his pledge to oppose and veto any and all tax increases.

Crist ATTACKED the free market by breaking conservative principles and backing the cap-and-tax bill.

Crist BETRAYED the American taxpayer on the federal level by supporting Obama’s pet projects and eye-popping spending programs.

Too-Close-For-Comfort-Charlie

What audacity for him to run a campaign based on reducing government, reducing taxes, and increasing freedom. The very least that the leather-faced governor could do is be honest and say he is a pragmatist of some sort, though I doubt that he truly is. He seems to be too relaxed and too tanned to be able to defend America values. He will most likely fold if the situation gets too hot. Furthermore, with the I-will-not-die allegations that he is a homosexual and the fact that he denies it, the last thing we need is another Larry Craig in the Senate. Some say this is a low blow, but given the fact that he has lied about raising taxes and about being a conservative, I do not trust his word any more. Crist has officially lost my support in the Senatorial primary. Florida does not need an Arlen Specter.
