Charlie Crist Removes Pro-Life Message From Web Site
Florida lawmakers passed a bill that would require doctors to perform an ultrasound on women who want to kill their babies during the first trimester and to describe what they’re seeing. Unless women can prove they were impregnated through rape, incest, or domestic violence (killing a baby because of how he was conceived?), they would be required to view the sonogram or listen to a description of it.

This week, Governor Charlie Crist, running for the U.S. Senate, will decide whether to sign the bill.
In a move that may indicate his intentions, the former Republican removed a pro-life and pro-traditional marriage message from his web site. Now why would he go and do a thing like that? Is he ashamed of wanting to protect unborn life and supporting stable, intact families? What a thing to be ashamed of. Slouching toward Gomorrah…
Marco Rubio, the pro-life Republican candidate for the same Senate seat, saved a screen shot of Crist’s message:
“Now that he has left the Republican Party in order to win an election and is trying to attract liberal votes, the Crist campaign yesterday removed the ‘pro-life/family’ issue page of its website,” Rubio spokesman Alex Burgos told LifeNews.com. “In doing so, Charlie Crist eliminated any reference to being ‘pro-life’ in a transparent attempt to hide his position in order to win an election.”
Crist called the bill government intrusion. And what an intrusion, eh? Taking an interest in protecting the voiceless and the most vulnerable!
What a flake.

Crist – just another moral value phony.
The only conviction he holds is “Whatever is best for Charlie Crist, today!”
He is just another Bart Stupak!
This guy is such a slime!
This guy is a slug slime! I thought specter was bad, crist is miles away from him. Please FL voters, vote for Marco.
L
What ever group the scumbag can pander too thinking he has a chance at winning. This is what must be defeated and never allowed to hold public office-ever.
Is he hiding his true position or is he simply shedding his camouflage and letting the world see him for what he truly is?
I suspect the latter.
Message to Crist…how well did that stunt work out for Specter? Here’s hoping that the people of Florida show you the same as the People of Pennsylvania showed Specter.
I have more respect for Kate Michelman than this piece of human debris. She’s pro-abortion, but has the courage to stake out her position, which is more than Crist can do.
Agreed,…….. slug slime.
Crist has no “positions”. He wants the job. His position is whatever you want it to be.
I never understood the LOGIC nor REASON for MURDERING the baby because the Mother was raped. Someone help me with that. Ok.?
Hey, Charlie is a man of principles. Of course those principles are determined by electability.
Agree.
No question.
What ever happened to the good old days when a bought and paid for politician stayed bought?
What this world has come to is truely depressing!
The Arlen Specter of Florida.
It is funny how these people never seem to learn anything from history. The ego on this little boy must rival that of Obama and that’s saying something!
An acquiantance has declared his intention to vote for Crist because “he is a lying, flip-flopping money taking weasel, and at least I know what I’m getting.” Considering politics as a whole, he has a certain twisted logic that’s difficult to refute.
A liberal’s liberal, lying all the time…
He’s probably doing the whole moderate Republican she-bang to get support outside the party.
All he’s trying to do is get elected, which I hope does not happen.
The quintessential poster child for everything RINO.
Doctor:
What is it he does now? Look how he rubs his hands.
Gentlewoman:
It is an accustom’d action with him, to seem thus
washing his hands. I have known him continue in this a quarter of
an hour.
Lord MacCrist:
Yet here’s a spot.
Doctor:
Hark, he speaks. I will set down what comes from him, to
satisfy my remembrance the more strongly.
Lord MacCrist:
Out, damn’d spot! out, I say!—One; two: why, then
’tis time to do’t.—Hell is murky.—Fie, my lord, fie, a soldier, and
afeard? What need we fear who knows it, when none can call our
pow’r to accompt?—Yet who would have thought the babies to
have had so much blood in them?
No, he was pretending to care in the first place.
Charlie is the founding member and High Priest of the Church of Crist.
Whatever he needs to be to win an election, that is what he will be.
Sounds familiar, no?
Hope and Change?
Electing Charlie Crist to a state wide office is one of the biggest mistakes(or is it two of the biggest mistakes?)we Floridians ever made. The sooner he is sent packing the better off we’ll all be.
Never trust a guy with a tan like that…
Keep licking those fingers, Crist. Hold them up to the wind daily.
Just because so many of Florida consitutents are waaaaaaay over the childbearing age doesn’t mean that they gave up caring about babies. Fidiot!
The first time I saw a picture of Crist I was wondering if he was hoping to be cast as Mr. Roarke in a remake of Fantasy Island…
Crist was probably never pro-life.
He is clearly positioning himself already as the de facto Democratic candidate for the Senate in Florida, and hoping the Meeks voters will come to him because he has a better chance to win.
I don’t know if he’d do the Bernie Sanders or Joe Liebermann act and officially claim to be independent while caucusing with the Dems, or whether he will officially join the Demonratic party, but if he wants to be the real, if unofficial, Democrat in this race he has to claim to be pro-abortion.
Crist will officially declare himself anti-life when he vetoes what he calls a “mean spirited” Republican passed bill to require a woman to have an ultrasound before having her baby sucked out and killed.
How can he win when the majority of Americans are ‘pro-life’? Do only liberals vote now?
Kirk: KAAAAAAAAAAHN!
Maybe he got some tips from shape-shifter Mitt Romney?
Back when Al Gore was just a humble Senator, having inherited his seat, as was his due in our House of Lords, like others before, like Lincoln Chafee and Ted Kennedy, and others after, like Lisa Murkowski, from his segregationist dad, he claimed to be pro-gun and pro-life.
No, seriously.
It wans’t until he sought the nomination in 1988 that Gore had his “Road to
DamascusBabylon” moment and suddenly discovered he wasn’t pro-2nd amendment and wasn’t pro-life.BTW, trivia from 1988, the first “Willie Horton” ads run against Michael Dukakis weren’t run by the GHW Bush campaign. Nope, Al Gore was the first to run Willie Horton ads.
Crist merelywants to please his Democrat Masters so he can play Senator.
He is a slug-someone please pour the Salt!
Read Ann Coulter’s book Godless (chapter 3) for a thorough look at the Willie Horton issue. It makes liberals look like, well…liberals!
Nice turn of phrase, LaShawn.
“Slouching Towards Gomorrah” is the title of one of Robert Bork’s books…
That’s a book by Robert Bork.
Add a mustache to Charlie Crist and you’ve got Eric Holder.
Looks like WarEagle beat me to it.
Unborn life isn’t a close issue for Crist anyway, as it is fairly well known Charlie has never and will never father a child.
Unless its some kind of trade with Rosie O’Donnell or Ellen DeGeneres, if you know what I’m saying.
Interweb searches about a certain Florida governor at a younger age frequently spotted in drag at a trendy Florida nightspot, the Green Iguana, are available for those who are curious.
Just one example
Christ is so crooked he has to screw his socks on. I don’t know how he has such a tan on his face when his head is up his butt most of the time. Hope he loses big time. DNC is supporting him now–sort of like Arlen Sphincter..
Is public service so rewarding that any means justifies the end? Are there any decent people in elected positions anywhere?
Does it even help to throw out the incumbents? What metamorphosis occurs when the oath is taken?
Its not just the public service, its the doors of power and economic opportunity public service can provide to some people. Of course there are decent people elected to public office to whom public service is rewarding in and of itself. The longer they stay in the more likely they might lose that decency. Better to not make a career and a life out of politics. Ideally, one should serve a few years then return to a productive life in the private sector.
The mask is off.
The curtain has been pulled back.
Crist has been “outed”, in more ways than one.
isn’t he a friend of that solid Republican Juan Amnesty and Lizzie Graham…birds of a feather.
Trust me, that is not a tan. That is a John Kerry Oompaloompa makeover. Creepy.
A horrifying prospect to consider. Unlimited power and virtually no accountability. If that’s not cause for armed revolution I don’t know what is. I am having more regard for the rabble of the French revolution.
RedDog at # 45 –
Yeah, what you said. I’m knitting.
careful… Rahm is watching.
Seriously, though. Talk about revolution is dangerous and unwise.
Even if you mean it as figurative, it just gives the leftists more ammo to say that we’re all just a bunch of right-wing racist nuts who envy Timothy McVeigh.
With Crist, it’s not about principles or caring. He is merely reprogramming with new software. He is merely one of the many polymorphic politicians who can adapt to any agenda. They trade on appearing to be sincere when they agree with you.
Your observation is an affront to pond scum, algae and several species of fungus. No need to berate slimy organisms to get your point across.
Rorshach #5, I’m with you. I have a feeling his “true position” is what we’re now seeing. The pro-family stuff was just so much bs when he thought his position w/conservatives was secure.
I have no words for someone who would exploit the most helpless of us all for his own gain, then throw them away like so much garbage. He is the lowest of the low.
*He should have stayed in the GOP; He would fit right in with all the other RINO’s(Mitt Romney was a supporter).
*Someone should let him know there is but one difference, and one difference only, between him and an unborn child; And that is age!
Typical pandering scuzzball politician. One really wonders if politicians ever have heartfelt convictions that aren’t up for sale for a vote.
The un-dead not wanting to protect the un-born.
That was for Chap!
So, in other words, it’s all about power and politics. What an opportunist moron.
So answer me this:
Why is it whenever someone proposes reasonable measures to give women and girls complete and total information regarding the children they are going to abort, it’s “government intrusion.”
But when the government tells me how I can spend my money, what lightbulbs I can buy, what medical treatment I can receive, what I can eat, what kind of car I can drive, or how much energy I use…it isn’t “intrusion” of any kind?
Abortion is not about choice. It’s not about “reproductive freedom”. It’s not about “privacy”…it’s about killing people and sex without consequences. It’s also a great, cheap political tool.
Kind of like Charlie Crist.
Well Stubby, look at the net worth of your average freshman congresscritter and compare it to his net worth when he retires and tell me if “public service” is rewarding.
You might just be shocked (but probably not surprised.) if you did. “Rewarding” doesn’t BEGIN to describe it.
Has Charlie Crist R now an I learned anything from what happened to Arlen Specter D turned R turned D again? I don’t think so…..
Did I mention Charlie Crist used to like to dress in women’s clothing and hang around in bars?
Hide his “position”? What “position”? He’s a politician for crying out loud! Politicians don’t hold positions!
Politicians get elected by holding their finger in the wind to see which way it’s blowing. Crist thinks the wind is blowing left, so in chameleon-like fashion, he changed colors to blend in with the pro-death DNC platform. It’s one big popularity contest. In the end, politicians are mere reflections of the popular majority who elect them into office.
It’s kind of funny how divided we are as a country. One cycle swings left; another cycle swings right. Why are people so stupid to believe that a “pro-life democrat” is not an oxymoron? Read the platform, morons! Don’t get me wrong, the DNC platform serves a very useful purpose; it gives people, who can see it, the opportunity to see the face of evil. And with the majority of voters registered with the party of evil, it makes plain just how many people are deceived.
DADMIN #61 – An excellent post!
Another funny expression is “Moderate” which strikes me as being a meaningless word. A moderate is liberalspeak for someone who cannot/will not take a principled stand for anything. We will lose our Republic if we continue to elect anyone who does not love God and his country. We must fight on against the despicable “progressives”.
dadmin, so true! there is no middle ground, either you are on the side of good or the side of evil.
FirstSkirt, you are right. our founding fathers said “the Constitution was only intended for the governing of a just and moral people. It is wholly unfit for the governing of any other.”
Unless they have become politically inconvenient, then they never were.
