Crist now supports DADT repeal compromise
http://voices.washingtonpost.com/ ^ | May 27,20010 | By Greg Sargent

Charlie Crist, who previously opposed repealing Don't Ask Don't Tell when he was a Republican but has since been under pressure to take a stand on current repeal efforts, will now support the repeal compromise, his spokesperson confirms to me.

Until recently, Crist had been saying that the current policy works. But with the repeal compromise moving forward in Congress, both Republican Marco Rubio and Dem Kendrick Meek, each for their own reasons, have been pressuring Crist to take a stand on the compromise.

Now Crist is coming out for it. His spokesperson, Michelle Todd, emails a statement from him:

"Ultimately, as in all military matters I defer to the Pentagon and to the Generals and what the Senate is doing today is giving them the ultimate authority to do what is best for our military. So, I would be inclined to support the Senate's action on this."

Anybody even know what this "compromise" is? I can't find even a general statement about it.

What kind of compromise? This so-called “journalist” doesn’t bother going into any of the relevant facts.

Another RINO out of the closet ends up being a full-blown liberal - supporting teachers unions, for globaloney warming, liberal position on social issues.

....He is stinking up the dock.

He’s not a RINO. He’s an IINO.

Aye Aye No.

That’s why they’re so confused, these IINOs. They can’t decide if they’re yessing or noing.

Crist’s desperation is so thick you could cut it with a chainsaw.
I would rather see the rat win than that scumbag Crist.

Charlie Crist has been running hard to the left since becoming an independent. He vetoed an anti-abortion bill shortly after leaving the GOP and has campaigned hard for union support, even winning the co-endorsement of the Florida’s teachers union. He also made noise about reaching out to Rahm Emanuel and several prominent Broward county Democrats as well as potentially caucusing with the Democrats in the Senate. Now, he’s “coming out” in favor of repealing Don’t Ask Don’t Tell. All of this is good news for Rubio. Each move to the left by Crist further divides the Democrats and strengthens Rubio’s Republican support. Rubio already has a huge advantage with Hispanics, while Kenderick Meek will overwhelmingly win the black vote. Crist probably can’t win while losing both blacks and Hispanics.

ANother Specter... willing to do or say anything to stay in political office, despite what those pesky voters think.

I have extremely bright, white hair. I have a deep tan from working outdoors at the ranch.

You are intimating that people with bright, white hair, and a tan are homosexual?

You have a problem, and need to get it fixed.
