In 2006, Charlie Crist was elected the Republican Governor of Florida.
In 2010, he declined to run for re-election, instead running for the US Senate.
He lost the Republican primary to Marco Rubio…
…whereupon he immediately left the Republican party and ran as an independent.
He lost to Rubio by almost 20% (with Kendrick Meeks, the Democrats, well behind both candidates).
Crist then became a Democrat and started attacking the exact same people he had supported as a Republican.
As a Republican, Christ was both pro-life and against same-sex marriages.
Now that he is a Democrat he is pro-choice, and supports same-sex marriages.
In short, Charlie Crist is anything he has to be to get votes. Do you doubt that he would become a social conservative again if the Republican Party somehow welcomed him back?
If this is not exactly what we don\’t like about politicians, please tell me what is.
