Former Florida governor and ex-Republican Charlie Crist endorsed President Barack Obama on Sunday, calling him “the right leader for our times.”

“I applaud and share his vision of a future built by a strong and confident middle class in an economy that gives us the opportunity to reap prosperity through hard work and personal responsibility,” Crist wrote in a Tampa Bay Times op-ed on the eve of the Republican National Convention.

Crist, elected governor as a Republican in 2006, left the GOP in 2010 after polls showed him significantly trailing Marco Rubio in the U.S. Senate primary. He turned independent and ultimately lost to Rubio in November.

Crist used the endorsement as an opportunity to take a shot at his former party, including making a reference to Missouri Republican Senate candidate Todd Akin’s recent comments about rape.

An ex Republican In Name Only Governor who happens to be a closeted homosexual endorses a man who just came out in support of gay marriage and is doing billboard ads in Florida for local insurance companies to make a living. This just goes to show you how awful the last generation of Florida GOP was and how far they have come.

“President Obama has a strong record of doing what is best for America and Florida...”

***

No, idiot. Obama does what is best for himself. And that includes destroying America.

BTW, where are all those jobs he created or saved?

I’ve yet to see anyone who helps Zippy ‘NOT’ get something in return.

Many RINO’s would back a Dem before a conservative, usually they do this with the GOPe machine and not change parties.

Somehow to this uber-RINO, Romney isn’t liberal enough

Well he's no worse than freepers who can't tell the difference between Romney and Obama.

They both are not voting for Romney

Crist reminds me of Arlen Specter, who chose a political party like he was picking out something to wear for the day. Whatever was politically convenient. But really had no real foundational political beliefs. What good riddance on both counts.

To be honest there really isn’t much difference between Romeny or Crist. Granted I think Romeny is better thn Obama, but not a huge difference if you’re honest with yourself.

Q. We see Charlie's left hand but where is his right hand?

A. Fondling Obama’s privates while Obama plays with Charlie's junk.

That endorsement gives Romney a lock on FL.

Pray for America

We were down in FL last week. Charlie’s mug is plastered all over billboards along the FL Turnpike advertising for some law firm. At least it lets you know who not to call if you need a lawyer.
