Florida’s Independent Senate Candidate Charlie Crist Wants To Impress You With Anagrams

VIDEO
» 10 comments

Over the Labor Day weekend, Florida Senate candidate Charlie Crist rolled out a new, playful TV ad, designed to show he’s a true independent. In it, he takes the words “Democrats” and “Republicans”, spelled out in large foam letters and lets us know who he is working for. What could those letters be rearranged to spell? Particleboards? Brainteasers? (F)lorid(i)ans?

Nope, it’s “Americans”! Spelled with a mysterious red “M” and blue “I” (who presumably changed colors mid-video to make for a more pleasing visual). The problem is that Charlie Crist should be working for Floridians, presumably. If there was a third “If Party” and it would have worked.

But as is, maybe this is an ad testing the waters for a presidential run? Either way, in this electoral season, it’s good to see any ad that manages to resist overt negativity.

    What is with the Republicans this year….they just can’t believe the people don’t want them….

    …Crist in Florida – Republicans vote him out…he switches to the Independent.

    …Tancrado in Colorado – Did not run for Governor in the primary, then he didn’t like the people voted for and now is running under the American Constitution Party.

    …Mekowski in Alaska – Lost the primary, now thinking about running as an Independent.

    Move ON…It is Over…Time to Go!

    This guys is not a true independent. he is simply just another politician that wants to keep his job.

    I’m told that Charlie Crist also scrambles up his positions on various issues, and comes up with different results based on what day of week it is, and what party he’s shilling for that day.

    MESSAGE TO CHARLIE:

    Most Republicans think you’re a nice guy….and a decent governor.
    But
    Most ALL Republicans think President Obama is wrecking our country.
    ie: Doing the USA a lot MORE HARM THAN GOOD.
    ie: Is politically corrupt.
    ie: Is TOTALLY LACKING management experience of any kind.
    ie: Is a WEAK COMMUNICATOR.
    ie: Is inept at choosing his lieutenants to run most things.

    My point, CHARLIE, is that YOU DON’T SEEM TO GET THIS!!

    Crist changed his answer on whether he would have voted for Obolshie-care from “yes” to “maybe” to “I don’t know” to “no” all within a week. He supported Obolshie’s stimulus package last year on many occasions, then when the tide turned denied ever supporting it, three or four DOZEN YouTubes to the contrary notwithstanding…!

    This fool takes the voters to be even stupider, more venal, and more crooked than he himself is……!

    Crist is a shill for himself, an autistic chameleon on plaid who is destroying his political career on a daily basis this Fall. When he takes the fall and Marco cleans the floor with this dirt mop, we’ll wave good riddance to bad rubbish. And this d-bag actually is using his GOP contribution money to buy this self-serving drivel….! No shame and no more class than the moral sewer where he does his Chicago-style robbery of the public [and GOP] purse.

    That’s understandable. He used to hang with John McCain
