Crist indicates he won’t release Senate campaign bundlers
by Michael C. Bender | July 16th, 2009
After backpedaling on plans to deliver his campaign finance numbers in electronic form, Gov. Charlie Crist said today he was also not inclined to disclose his list of campaign bundlers. Last year, both Barack Obama and John McCain volunteered their list of bundlers, or the men and women who collect hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of checks on behalf of the candidate.
More on the bundling issue here. And background on previous questions about Crist’s bundling here.
Crist answered questions from the media today after visiting the state Department of Children and Families – the last in his tour of state offices around the Capital City.
Asked about news today of the deepening foreclosure problems in Florida, Crist said the best thing to do was hope the economy turns around.

What does he have to hide? He thinks he will get votes in the next election by lying to us now? Another useless liar! Empeach him!

Wasn’t one Tooty Fruity Senator enough…didn’t we learn anything from the Foley debacle?

Well the true colors always come out! Just another lying politician who owes big favors if he wins. Hopefullly not!

What are you hiding Chaz? That is not the government I choose to have. You’ve lost my vote. However, you can win it back by choosing to walk the walk and be truthful and open. Don’t remind us why we don’t like politicians. Take this opportunity to show us how a civil servant should behave. You have the popularity. Now you need the moral turpidute to make the difficult decision. Lead us…

Obama raised record breaking campaign finances via a web site. This web site accepted gift card donations. At $50 a donation, someone with millions could have easily broke the law by donating more than the $500 or so allowed by an individual (without having to state your identity). Now that SHOULD be against the law. Its not. Neither is Crist not revealing his donors! So please, for once, STFU and SIUYA!!!!

Of course he should. What is he trying to keep secret? If this is how he acts now, why should I — or anybody — vote for him?

THIS IS WHAT WE HAVE COME TO IN THE USA THEY SAY ANYTHING TO GET VOTES, NEVER CHANGES;I LIKE CRIST; IF HE KEEPS EVERYTHING BELOW THE TABLE, THAT WHERE HE WILL END UP’

All you seem to miss the point that perhaps the DONORS are allowed some privacy. If the donors wish to reveal, then they certainly should, but if they have their reasons for staying private, WHY CAN’T THEY STAY PRIVATE?
I do think, however, they should reveal the individual AMOUNTS.

Does anyone know if he is allegedly still in the closet or not?
Maybe this is not the only thing he is successfully hiding.
Like hiking the Appalachin Trail….with…..”Bill”…..

Crist is just like his new buddy Obama and we will never know where all the millions are coming from. Run Marco Run we need you now more than ever.
