RSSCharlie Crist Switches on “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell (DADT) Gays in the Military
First Florida Governor, US FL Senate wannabe Charlie Crist switched from being a Republican to an Independent. Now Crist switches his opinion on “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy of gays in the military.
Gov. Charlie Crist’s switch on the military’s ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’ policy Thursday left the no-party Senate contender caught in a crossfire of criticism from his Democratic and Republican opponents.
With Congress moving toward votes on repealing the policy that prohibits gays from serving openly in the military, Crist dropped his support for continuing the ban. As recently as Monday, Crist told reporters that the current policy, “has worked pretty well for America.”
But by Thursday, Crist said he supports the repeal.
Shocker, Crist would change sexes if he knew it would get him elected and keep power. Even his Democrat Senate opponent Meeks can see the obvious political pandering that Crist is conducting. Crist’s new campaign ad … I was against DADT, before I was for it.
But Crist’s leading Democratic opponent, U.S. Rep. Kendrick Meek, who has fought to repeal the ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’ policy for years, ripped the governor as “willing to say or do anything to get elected.”
“This is not about being independent,” Meek said. “This is about being whichever way the wind blows for his own personal gain.”
“There’s a Democrat in this race,” Meek said in a remark aimed at Crist. “And that Democrat is me.”
Meet Charlie Crist, the biggest political opportunist to come down the pike in quite some time. The man has no shame, no character and no core values. He is willing to say anything to get elected. To the people of Florida … isn’t this exactly what we don’t want our politicians to be any more?

Charlie Crist is gay!
I hope the people of Florida wake up to this guy. He is all about getting himself elected and will do whatever he thinks is necessary to do so.
This is exactly the kind of person that needs to be removed from participation in government at any level.
