Crist comes out for ‘people,’ against ‘politics’ in new TV ad

by George Bennett | September 7th, 2010

In his new Senate campaign ad, independent Gov. Charlie Crist comes out for “putting people ahead of politics” and takes a hard line against “all the finger-pointing” in Washington.

While Democrat Kendrick Meek released an ad today that touches on several specific issues — the Everglades, offshore drilling, Social Security privatization, abortion, middle-class tax cuts, the minimum wage, credit card fees and residual anti-Bush sentiment — Crist takes a more broad-brush approach.

Crist is for “fixing the economy, creating jobs, helping the middle class.” He doesn’t say how, but promises to “take the best ideas of Democrats and Republicans to get things done.”

    Go home Charlie…save yourself the embarrasment. Its over for you. Been that way for months. It will be Rubio because folks are tired of Hussein and his minions ruining this country…I have not forgotten your ball washing efforts in regard to Hussein. Who can forget your hug of Hussein while he looked on in disdain. Go home Charlie.

  2. George Says:

    Yeah, like when he “came out for the people” when abandoned those who put him in office because he was losing. Crist, you have no integrity or loyalty.

  3. Eric Says:

    Leave it to good old Charlie to use slight of hand in his ad, just like he has been doing his whole career. Notice how the Blue letters of the word Democrats and the red letters of the word Republicans change colors when needed to form the word Americans, just like charlie changes color when needed. What a joke go home sooner rather than later you have done enough damage.

  4. Meliss Says:

    Go home and take dumb blondy with you.
    You both are not going to be the cause of the entire Democratic party loosing this year.

  5. Moderate Democrat Says:

    Great ad. Positive and refreshing.

    Give em hell Charlie!

    More Lies….can’t even put a word letter/color puzzle together without deception !! The outcome of the AMERICANS was not possible with red Republicans and blue Democrats letters the way they were arranged. This must have been planned as a 3rd grade FCAT question or something.
    CC tried to get a message out, but the deceptive letter/color combo causes the message to be lost. Where’s Joe Schmoe when you need him? No wonder no-one votes anymore – these candidates stink!!

    Lets see, Marco “the chameleon” Rubio? Kendick “the weak” Meek? Nah, I will take Crist anyday. I would much rather dance with the Devil I know, rather than the Devil that is Rubio and Meek.
