W.H.: Crist 'very supportive'

Florida Gov. Charlie Crist may be distancing himself from his support for the stimulus bill Congress enacted earlier this year, but the White House isn't playing along.

A day after Crist denied having endorsed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs told reporters the governor's February appearance with President Obama in Fort Myers, Fla., left little doubt about his views on the law.

"I think his words at that event speak for themselves," Gibbs said. "I think he was very supportive of the legislation and supportive of the benefits that it would have and has had for the state of Florida."

It's very sporting of the White House to write Marco Rubio's campaign commercials for him. Goodbye Mr. Crist, it's been nice.

Crist is part of the problem...had enough of RINOs? Start voting them out.

Back in the seventies Bill Buckley gave a sizable campaign donation to the Democrat in Conn. running against the “Republican” Lowell Weicker. Remember him? Watergate committee? Reliable Rockefeller-Republican vote Dems could always count on?

We are better off with the true liberal...at least we know where we stand.

I was thinking the same thing.

“Crist agreed with our turd of a plan.”

A quasi-admission of ineptitude from the adminstration as well.

That was in 1988, and the Democrat was Joe Lieberman.

I hope this bites Crist in the ace.

Maybe the WH is stupid enough to believe it will be easier to beat Rubio than a RINO.

The Dems think the FL Senate race is NY-23 all over again. The Dem theme of the 2010 elections shall be the “Taliban Tea Baggers” have declared a Jihad against all independent thinking moderates.

Doesn’t Gibbs know that this will hurt the Crist campaign?
